The automotive industry's reliance on raw materials spans from electric cars to vehicles powered by fuel cells. While platinum is used in small quantities in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and those with fuel cells rely significantly on platinum and palladium due to catalytic converter requirements. Fuel cell trucks, currently undergoing trials between Nuremberg, Landsberg, and Leipzig, hold promise for emission-free heavy goods transport. Companies like Sibanye-Stillwater, a major producer of platinum and palladium, are crucial in meeting the demand for these metals. The future also sees a focus on green hydrogen as a cleaner alternative, with ongoing developments to enhance its efficiency and cost-effectiveness, supported by companies like Toyota. Moreover, industries beyond automotive, such as steel and heat supply, are turning to hydrogen. Foran Mining, with operations in Canada, positions itself well in the battery metals sector by emphasizing sustainable production practices to meet the growing demand for batteries in various sectors.
