Work on developing South Africa's fuel cell industry to support platinum beneficiation was given a kick-start after the government announced its support of a major new scheme.
As part of its beneficiation strategy and the drive to improve on the uses of platinum, the South African government will partner with Ballard Power Systems and Anglo American Platinum with initial field trials of a new methanol-fuelled 'home generator' prototype product designed for use in off-grid residential applications.
