South Africa launches fuel cell study
A fuel cell feasibility study will accelerate mineral beneficiation and localisation of fuel cell
manufacturing. It will also help to increase the demand for platinum during a downturn in the
market. The government has pumped R15m into the study, which is expected to be completed
within a year.
