While alternative strategies can help reduce costs, they often come with trade-offs. For instance, non-precious metal catalysts may not always achieve the same level of performance or stability as precious metal catalysts, potentially leading to lower efficiency or shorter operational lifespans. Similarly, catalyst recycling processes may require additional energy and resources, which could offset some of the cost savings. Therefore, it is essential to carefully evaluate these trade-offs to ensure that the overall benefits outweigh the costs.
