Zero Emissions. Zero Compromise

Zero Emissions. Zero Compromise

At Anglo American our future focus means we’re always looking ahead. We do this by supporting the advancement of pioneering, sustainable and environmentally neutral energy technologies that make what was previously regarded as tomorrow’s expectation, a cast iron reality today.

A recent example of this comes from our platinum business, which has partnered with the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA) in Washington DC.  As one of the world’s leading platinum producers, we’re passionate about securing a future for hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles.

FCHEA is an industry association that serves as a voice for companies and organisations that are working hard to further innovative, clean, safe, and reliable fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies that bring with them significant and exciting environmental and economic benefits.

In October, together with our partners at FCHEA, a new campaign was launched – Zero Emissions, Zero Compromise – to emphasise the driving excitement of emissions-free fuel cell vehicles and the important role they play by fostering technological innovation, curbing transportation-related emissions, and increasing energy independence. All of this, without compromising on range and performance.

Our platinum business’ core product will undeniably play a crucial role in the development and production of current and future generations of fuel cell vehicles

To learn more about how hydrogen-powered fuel cells will substantially decrease vehicle emissions for a cleaner, greener and considerably more sustainable future, visit FCHEA’s website and follow their twitter account on:

Did you know?

  • Fuel cell vehicles are not the cars of the future, they are the cars of today. These innovative, zero emission cars can travel 480 to 640 kilometres per tank and refuel in just three to five minutes.
  • Fuel cell vehicles combine the emissions-free driving of battery electric vehicles with the range and convenience of a traditional petrol or diesel car.
  • They are powered by an electric motor, just like other electric vehicles. But instead of using batteries that can have limited range and take hours to charge, FCVs contain a fuel cell that converts hydrogen into electricity.
  • Their only emission is water, making the result a truly sustainable motoring future.
