What a localised fuel cell industry can do for South Africa
Fuel Cell Trends Sources: * E 4 tech: The Fuel Cell Industry Review 2017
The opportunity – Stationary fuel cells
Towards a South African fuel cell industry • Establish local production facility in the MW scale per year • Reduce the cost of fuel cell systems • Local mineral beneficiation • Job creation
The South African Story Silicon Valley • Silicon – Semiconductors • Computer Industries • 39 businesses in the “Fortune 1000” Fuel Cell Valley • Catalyst • Platinum Group Metals (1 st*) • Zirconia (2 nd*) • Bipolar / Interconnect plates • Chrome (1 st**) • Iron (6 th*) • Major role player in energy supply Sources: * U. S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries, January 2016 **International Chromium Development Association - © 2011
