氢燃料车辆向前推进,但规模的扩大取决于能否获得基础设施和生产所需的关键矿物。
Hydrogen fuel vehicles advance, but scaling depends on securing critical minerals for infrastructure and production.
氢气作为运输的清洁能源解决方案,正在获得牵引力,丰田米拉伊和现代Nexo等车辆正在领先。
Hydrogen is gaining traction as a clean energy solution for transportation, with vehicles like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo leading the way.
然而,要扩大氢气的规模,就需要克服基础设施、生产和获取关键矿物方面的主要障碍。
However, scaling hydrogen requires overcoming major hurdles in infrastructure, production, and access to critical minerals.
对于高效电解、耐久燃料电池以及安全储存和运输而言,关键材料,如白金、镍、、和铬等,至关重要。
Key materials such as platinum, nickel, palladium, vanadium, and chromium are essential for efficient electrolysis, durable fuel cells, and safe storage and transport.
尽管2023年全球电解能力达到1.4千兆瓦 -- -- 主要是在中国 -- -- 但由于矿产供应的制约,电解能力扩大受到限制。
Despite global electrolysis capacity reaching 1.4 GW in 2023—mostly in China—expansion is limited by mineral supply constraints.
像土木工程师Stanislav Kondrashov这样的专家强调,可持续的氢经济取决于能否获得这些资源和管理全球供应链,以满足到2050年预计的7 500万公吨需求。
Experts like civil engineer Stanislav Kondrashov stress that a sustainable hydrogen economy depends on securing these resources and managing global supply chains to meet projected demand of 75 million metric tons by 2050.
