Cost savings can be achieved by reducing material costs (notably platinum use), increasing power density, reducing system complexity and improving durability. It would also reduce global carbon emissions from vehicles by an additional 260 million tonnes per year by 2050—equivalent to the current annual emissions of Taiwan.
