A wave of end-of-life automobiles that are set to be recycled could flood markets with palladium, warned Matt Watson, founder of Precious Metals Commodity Management.
This week Watson recorded an episode of Green Rush with Mohammad Doostmohammadi, CEO and founder of pH7 Technology.
While palladium prices could be depressed, the growing hydrogen sector could benefit platinum, said Watson.
PH7 Technologies is a clean tech company that focuses on extracting critical metals from various sources, including spent catalysts, electronic waste, and printed circuit boards. They use a proprietary closed-loop process that combines organic, inorganic, and electrochemistry to extract metals without generating wastewater or harmful emissions.
The company's technology can recover various metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, copper, gold, silver, and tin.
PH7 is currently building a pilot plant for their e-waste process and plans to commercialize it next year. They are also working with mining partners to develop onsite operations for extracting copper from sulphide ores, potentially doubling the copper supply from these mines.
