In doing so, the company is supporting not only the production of hydrogen but also its application within power generation and mobility sectors.
The visit had been organised as part of the UK HFCA’s Road to COP26 campaign that aims to promote UK innovation in the UK’s domestic hydrogen and fuel cell industry in the run up to the COP event in Glasgow, Scotland.
Chris Law MP said, “I’d like to thank Ames Goldsmith Ceimig for hosting me and giving me a crash course in what is one of the technologies of the future.
“Throughout its history, Dundee has been a city of innovation and discovery and through the work of companies like Ames Goldsmith Ceimig it is clear that this spirit truly lives on.
“As we look to the future, we must ensure that technologies like green hydrogen are fully explored as they may be key to our collective fight, both here in Scotland and across the world, against climate change.”
The role of precious metal catalysts in fuel cells
Ames Goldsmith Corporation is a global specialist in precious metal chemistry. Our products are used in several green technology applications including specialty silver electronic powders for photovoltaic applications, silver salts for solar mirror production and platinum group metal electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production and fuel cells.
Due to the importance of the emerging hydrogen economy, Ames Goldsmith Corporation has put a great onus on expanding its already well-established product range. Platinum group metal catalysts are manufactured at three sites within the group: Colonial Metals, Inc. (Maryland, US), Ames Advanced Materials (New Jersey, US) and Ames Goldsmith Ceimig (Dundee, UK).
