Wang Ju – Panel discussion: consequences globally of forecast changes in PGM supply

Abstract

Currently, Green hydrogen has become a global trend and the market continues to be prosper. Carbon emission targets is the factor that facilitate the development of hydrogen industry, and it has become a global consensus to develop hydrogen energy and fuel cell industry. This presentation will focus on the global hydrogen industry development and platinum demand, which consists 3 parts of background and prospects of global hydrogen energy industry development, the development of the global hydrogen energy industry chain, and the application of platinum group metals in the hydrogen energy industry. This presentation will thoroughly analysis the current hydrogen industry development from upstream to downstream, as well as the contribution of platinum group metal for wide application of hydrogen energy.
