Five Reasons Why Smart Investors Are Betting on Hydrogen Fuel Cells Today
If you try to buy used hydrogen fuel cells today, you are apt to be disappointed.
“If fuel cells are the hottest new technology on the landscape,” you start to ask, “why can’t I find any to buy . . . and why can’t I get my hands on all the platinum they are supposed to contain?”
Lots of people today are asking questions just like those. But the fact is that smart, forward-thinking precious metal investors are starting to realize that in the future, hydrogen fuel cells will become probably the hottest trend in precious metals.
In today’s post, let’s look at some of the reasons why fuel cell use is about to increase in the years ahead.
Reason One: Use of hydrogen-powered vehicles will surge when the distribution infrastructure is in place.
Just about everyone on the landscape is eager to start using cars that are powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The holdup is that infrastructure is not yet in place across North America to fuel those cars. As soon as enough hydrogen fueling stations are opened, we will see an immediate increase in the use of hydrogen-powered cars. The result? Over time as aging fuel cells become spent, the platinum they contain will be a top precious metal investment.
Reason Two: Hydrogen fuel cells are environmentally friendly.
Fuel cell-powered vehicles emit only heat and water – no dirty air or particulates. Plus, did you know that fuel cells do not add anything to your carbon footprint? That’s another way of saying they are a clean, clean source of energy.
Reason Three: Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe.
Think about that! Gasoline needs to be refined from oil, distributed via pipelines. And there is a limited supply. Even though hydrogen needs to be produced in specialized production facilities and distributed to filling stations in trucks, it is in much more plentiful supply than gasoline can ever be.
Reason Four: There is a global shortage of platinum, the key catalyst used in fuel cells.
Thanks to the current global shortage of platinum, demand for the metal will only increase. And we know that as the demand for any material increases, prices rise.
Reason Five: Fuel cells will be used in many additional ways in the future.
They’re not only used in cars! In the future, they will be used more extensively by utilities to generate electricity, for example. Smart cities will use them to power their transportation systems. The age of hydrogen power is about to dawn, bigtime. And smart investors are positioning themselves now to take advantage of this opportunity.
