Platinum bars: the precious metal for a green future

Platinum is only precious as a rare metal, but it is also at the centre of the green revolution worldwide. This makes it valuable therefore as a raw material that can be used in new technologies. It is estimated that the demand for platinum to be used for fuel cells and electrolysers will increase sevenfold in the 1930s.

Platinum e Green Economy

Demand in the short term will be driven by the initial development of technologies for the production of green hydrogen, while in the medium to long term we will also see an increase in demand in the industrial and transport sectors.

In particular, a revolution is expected in the production of heavy-duty vehicles, which, being able to rely on shorter and more defined routes, will also support the upgrading of refuelling stations.

The economics of a revolution with hydrogen at its centre will therefore be the main driver of long-term platinum demand growth. The EU has made hydrogen a central part of its Green Deal to achieve zero net emissions by 2050. The share of hydrogen in the European energy mix is expected to grow from less than 2% today to 13-14% by 2050. Platinum has a bright future.

How to store platinum bars safely?

Storing your platinum and precious metal ingots is a very important issue to consider when buying them. Depending on the amount of precious metals you own, you need to carefully consider whether to store them in a safe, whether to rent a safe deposit box at a bank, or whether to use a safekeeping service, such as the one we offer at Orovilla. What you have to weigh up are costs and risks.

Gold is certainly safer in a vault or safe deposit box, which are also insured in case of theft, than in your home. Another no less important aspect to think about is the location of the box in which you keep it: it must be easily accessible to you at all times or you must be able to rely on a company that can provide you with a fast and secure shipping service.
