Life Cycle and Criticality Assessment of Platinum Extraction, Usage and Energy Applications

Langue : Anglais

Auteurs :

Life Cycle and Criticality Assessment of Platinum Extraction, Usage and Energy Applications discusses past, present and future research works on platinum and its applications to fuel cells. It examines the global trends of platinum mining, processing and its applications, with case studies from the Southern African region. The book offers a brief discussion on different types of fuel cells and a detailed description of platinum-based fuel cell technology. The environmental and socioeconomic impacts of the production chain of fuel cell technology are evaluated using lifecycle assessment, along with a critical assessment of platinum group metals that focuses on all aspects of its sustainability.



  • Offers a comprehensive overview of the platinum value chain in relation to its application in energy technologies, including fuel cells and electrolyzers
  • Presents trends and cutting-edge technologies
  • Examines different perspectives, such as technologies of mining, processing, sustainability aspects and criticality for the use of platinum in fuel cells

1. Introduction 2. Platinum production 3. Fuel cell technology and its types 4. Perspectives of PEM Fuel cell LCA 5. Criticality assessment

Researchers and engineers in the field of fuel cells. Researchers and engineers involved in nanotechnology and platinum mining, life cycle and criticality assessment. Stakeholders in the platinum and clean energy sectors
