Hydrogen fuel cells look increasingly promising for long haul trucks, and even trains and ships. But fuel cell costs still need to come down. Tom Stephenson, chairman and CEO of Pajarito Powder, explains how their black powder catalyst can dramatically slash the amount of platinum that needs to be used in fuel cells. He says Pajarito is working with a number of automakers and that business is booming.
On Wednesday, August 2nd Autoline.TV “On the Road” host John McElroy interviewed Pajarito Powder CEO and Chairman Thomas J. Stephenson while attending the Center for Automotive Research (CARs) 2022 Management Briefing Seminar in Traverse City, MI.
Mr McElroy asked Stephenson about the origins of the company, the materials being made and the primary customers who are evaluating catalysts produced by Pajarito Powder for use in fuel cells.
