Melbourne, July 17 -- An Australian-led study has found a potential solution for producing green hydrogen at scale, removing a key barrier to global decarbonisation.
Researchers at Australia's Monash University, who are leading the study, said today that progress has been made towards overcoming a major barrier to sustainable green hydrogen production: the limited and costly supply of iridium, a key material in today's most advanced hydrogen production technology.
The study shows that cobalt, which is much more abundant and affordable than iridium, could replace it in key green hydrogen production devices, helping enable large-scale, sustainable hydrogen generation, according to a statement from Monash University.
