Press Release: Johnson Matthey and Bosch agree long-term collaboration on development of zero-emission hydrogen technology

6th February, 2025

Johnson Matthey (JM) – a global leader in sustainable technologies – and Bosch a leading supplier to the automotive industry – have today agreed terms to accelerate future projects together.

The agreement confirms both parties’ intentions to develop and produce catalyst coated membranes (CCM) for use in fuel cell stacks.

Transforming and decarbonising the automotive industry requires a mix of powertrain systems and solutions across different vehicle classes.

Hydrogen fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity. As pure water is the only by-product, fuel cell electric vehicles are a clean, zero emission option.

JM’s high performance CCMs will be used in Bosch’s integrated, compact and scalable fuel cell power module for commercial vehicles, designed for longer distances. 

JM Hydrogen Technologies Chief Executive, Anish Taneja, and Bosch Mobility’s Executive Vice President of Engineering Power Solutions, Beate Grota, marked the agreement at Bosch’s fuel cell centre in Stuttgart-Feuerbach, Germany.

Anish Taneja commented “JM is thrilled to be joining forces, exploring and developing future possibilities to accelerate cleaner mobility and energy generation “.
Beate Grota added: “The fuel cell technology for mobile applications is technologically ready for widespread use. Our partnership aims to further increase the performance and efficiency of the fuel cell stacks.”

Decarbonisation in the sulphuric acid industry

New concepts focused on the transfer and combination of existing sulphur and sulphuric acid technologies to support decarbonisation of the sulphuric acid industry are being investigated. In this article three research projects are discussed: sulphur dioxide depolarised electrolysis for green regeneration of spent acid, use of renewable heat and catalyst to the splitting process from sulphuric acid to SO2 for reduction of fossil fuel consumption, and sulphur as an energy vector.

Optimising European SRU incinerators

The 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction goals in the European Union are driving oil and gas producers to reduce CO2 emissions wherever possible. This extends to even the incinerator attached to a sulphur recovery unit (SRU). In this article Sulphur Experts review the role of the incinerator, how the three most common European TGUs each affect the demand on the incinerator itself, and the potential reduction in CO2 emissions for a generic facility of each type.
