From its research project on South Africa and the Global Hydrogen Economy – The Strategic Role of Platinum Group Metals, MISTRA assessed the utility of Platinum Group Metal (PGM) in the nascent Hydrogen Economy, particularly in the production of proton membrane fuel cells. The project was internally commissioned with the intention of conducting an investigation into the possibility of setting-up a co-ordinated mechanism for market price-discovery and real-time information based on voluntary participation among interested participants. The project is partially funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the final report will be launched in the third quarter of 2019.
