By Jim Gibbins - 19th February 2021
UK – A producer a chemically-sustainable technologies, Johnson Matthey Plc of Royston says it is planning to commercialise technologies to enable production of zero carbon ‘green’ hydrogen. With new additional manufacturing capacity to produce catalyst-coated membranes at its high-tech plant in Swindon, UK, it plans to produce high performance fuel cell components including membrane electrode assemblies, catalyst coated membranes, and fuel processor catalysts at scale.
Johnson Matthey believes hydrogen has the potential to make a significant contribution in the fight against climate change by decarbonising industries that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy industry, heavy mobility, aviation and shipping. This is a critical step in helping societies meet their ambitious net zero targets, the company says.
