flag Hydrogen fuel vehicles advance, but scaling depends on securing critical minerals for infrastructure and production.

flag Hydrogen is gaining traction as a clean energy solution for transportation, with vehicles like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo leading the way. flag However, scaling hydrogen requires overcoming major hurdles in infrastructure, production, and access to critical minerals. flag Key materials such as platinum, nickel, palladium, vanadium, and chromium are essential for efficient electrolysis, durable fuel cells, and safe storage and transport. flag Despite global electrolysis capacity reaching 1.4 GW in 2023—mostly in China—expansion is limited by mineral supply constraints. flag 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.
