How Do Catalysts in Fuel Cells Benefit Mining Equipment?
Fuel cells powered by catalysts are increasingly being used in mining equipment to provide a cleaner and more efficient energy source. Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells and Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are common types. These fuel cells use catalysts such as platinum to facilitate the chemical reactions required to generate electricity. The benefits include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower fuel costs, and longer operational life of the equipment.
