Heraeus Precious Metals and Jolt Solutions have joined forces in a strategic collaboration to enhance the utilization of platinum group metals (PGM) in coatings for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis. This partnership was solidified through a Memorandum of Understanding, with Jolt Solutions, based in Barcelona, known for its expertise in metallic catalyst coatings, bringing its SparkfuzeTM technology to the table. The innovative coating method offers faster application, scalability, and energy efficiency compared to traditional methods, resulting in highly active and durable surfaces. Jolt Solutions, with experience in catalyst-coated substrates for different electrolysis processes, is set to explore PGM-based metallic catalysts for PEM water electrolysis as part of this collaboration. The goal is to contribute to the production of green hydrogen on an industrial scale, aligning with the push towards zero-emission solutions. With the hydrogen economy seeing significant growth projections, the strategic importance of efficient PGM sourcing, application, and recycling cannot be understated. Heraeus, leveraging its PGM expertise, will work alongside Jolt to optimize these processes and create a closed loop product offering. The CEOs of both companies expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasizing the potential for synergies in knowledge sharing and market offerings. The partnership signifies a step towards advancing PGM applications in the electrolysis sector, with a focus on driving innovation and sustainability in the hydrogen market.
