South Africa’s first fuel cell component plant will start production in December 2017.
The plant which will produce fuel cells using platinum as a catalyst will open either in Johannesburg or Durban by the end of the year in order to take advantage of South Africa’s position as the world’s top platinum producer.
Speaking on the opening of the plant, David Hart, director of Swiss-based sustainable energy consultancy, E4tech, said by 2030 there could be 1.6 million fuel cell vehicles globally.“It is very clear that there will be more people entering this market.."
