Maybe I'm just skeptical, but apparently a Dutch tech startup (VSParticle), thinks it has a solution to cut the cost of hydrogen to as little as $2.30 per kilogram.
According to the article, they use a breakthrough coating (nano-porous) technology that dramatically cuts the amount of iridium needed in a PEM electrolyzer from about 1 milligram-2 milligrams to just 0.1 milligram.
That doesn't seem like enough money or accounting for all the other costs that go into making #greenhydrogen, so how are they claiming such a massive cost savings?
What am I missing?
