The market for hydrogen fuel cells is growing rapidly as hydrogen technology matures and companies look to lower the carbon footprint of operations.

But with the growing demand for fuel cells comes the need to manage the market effectively. Specifically, high-value platinum group metals can account for 40% to 60% of fuel cell stack costs, so recovering these metals after a cell is retired from service helps mitigate material supply risk and overall system cost.

Two recent BCC Research reports investigate the nascent hydrogen fuel cell recycling market and how it will support development of the hydrogen ecosystem.
