Hydrogen is at the centre of the solution to climate change and platinum, in turn, is at the centre of hydrogen, London-based Anglo American market development head Benny Oeyen emphasised when he spoke to Mining Weekly on the sidelines of this year’s Platinum Group Metals Industry Day, in Johannesburg. Using wind and sun to liberate hydrogen from water and then using platinum to catalyse the hydrogen into electricity guarantee that not even a speck of carbon dioxide is emitted. When there is a lot of wind and sun, excess hydrogen can be stored, and when there is little wind and sun, it can be used to generate clean electricity. That is what Mother Nature wants done to save planet earth. Also see pages 14 to 41.
