Non platinum catalysts examined for cheaper green hydrogen

Catalyst cost is a small line item with a large effect on electrolyser economics.

WHEC 2022

H2U Technologies and De Nora announced work to examine non platinum group metal catalysts for cost competitive green hydrogen production. Platinum group metals are effective but expensive and subject to supply constraints, so alternatives are attractive if they can match performance and durability.

The collaboration was a research and development story rather than a commercial deployment. It reflected the kind of component level work that rarely makes headlines but shapes the cost curve of electrolysis.

The conference programme included electrocatalysts and electrodes among its topics, and the news archive keeps the item as an example of that research direction.
