South Africa has the technology and skills to become competitive in hydrogen, the platinum twin that can catalyse a better world. The uptake of a hydrogen economy could start arresting South Africa’s negative climate change trajectory, Minerals Council South Africa CEO Roger Baxter outlined to Mining Weekly last week. As a manufacturer of 9% of the world’s catalytic converters, South Africa already has the platinum coatings, ceramic sponges and exhaust systems required for the fuel cell industry. Fuel cell electric vehicles that sustain platinum mining can then go driving into the future on hydrogen that can be produced at the price of petrol.
