However the report, Sufficiency, Sustainability, and Circularity of Critical Materials for Clean Hydrogen, warns the deployment of hydrogen is taking place in the context of a wider low-carbon transition, raising price and supply implications.
The availability of precious metals, in particular, and other critical raw materials has increasingly been subject of concern considering the need for scaling up decarbonisation solutions.
