About this listen

As hydrogen adoption grows due to energy transition, platinum group metals usage will grow, said Andrew Hinkly, founding managing partner of AP Ventures.

This week Hinkly recorded an episode of Green Rush with Matt Watson, founder of Precious Metals Commodity Management.

Hinkly is investing in the hydrogen economy. He discussed his investment strategy and portfolio companies in the clean energy transition. AP Ventures has three funds totaling over $600 million. The portfolio contains 29 companies divided into four categories: energy, shipping, steel, and chemicals/aviation.

As the hydrogen economy grows, Hinkly said demand could spike for platinum group metals, which will be needed as catalysts.

"Liquid organic hydrogen carriers are big users of platinum and palladium," said Hinkly. "In my mind that is a huge opportunity for demand growth within the hydrogen industry."
