What is Sumitomo Corporation of Americas and Invest Alberta sign MOU to accelerate energy transition throughout province of Alberta, Canada about?

researchers have proven at lab scale that both the PGMs and the ionomer can be recovered and recycled into new catalyst coated membranesthe performance-defining components at the heart of hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers. Separate experiments have confirmed that the recycled PGM catalysts match the performance of fresh material. As the hydrogen economy takes off, embedding circularity is critical to conserve precious resources and minimize the environmental impact of manufacturing new hydrogen technologies. Using a purely chemical process, JM's HyRefine technology offers efficiency and sustainability benefits compared to conventional PGM refining. Processing only fuel cell and electrolyzer material, JM's bespoke HyRefine technology provides additional traceability of the critical PGMs. The output from this process would be 100% secondary metal. Secondary metal has up to a 98% lower carbon footprint than primary (mined) metal, offering significant sustainability benefits. The PGM can then be seamlessly integrated into JM's PGM catalyst manufacturing and subsequent CCM manufacturing. Following successful 5 litre lab scale demonstrations, JM is now scaling up this technology to r
