The brand-new platinum-catalysed hydrogen fuel cell system that has just been released for passenger cars reveals that fuel cells can be as cheap to manufacture as internal combustion engines (ICEs), UK company Intelligent Energy has highlighted in a release to Mining Weekly. The company’s patented system has been designed to give passenger car manufacturers direct access to the smaller, more powerful, turnkey and commercially viable hydrogen fuel cell solution that is needed to make zero carbon emission mobility a reality in the passenger car market across the entire planet.

      You only need grams of it per fuel cell stack. It is not much more than what is already being used in catalytic converters. So it is unlikely to be a big problem.

        Thanks I wasn’t aware it was that little that was needed. Guess in a fuel cell it will even have a longer life span than in a catalytic converter.
