Jubilant Science and Technology Minister Naledi Pandor is flanked by Gauteng Premier David Makhura (right) and Impala Platinum (Implats) CEO Terence Goodlace at the launching of platinum-using mobile fuel cells at the Implats refineries on the East Rand. The platinum mining company is also studying the economic feasibility of using fuel cells to power underground mining equipment and to self-generate 22 MW of electricity at its refineries. Implats also provided the platinum for the fuel cell that catalyses 100 kW of electricity generation at the Chamber of Mines building in downtown Johannesburg and intends supplying platinum to a fuel cell hub in Springs, envisaged as a satellite to the upcoming special economic zone at OR Tambo international airport.
