Platinum Supply-Risk Planning

What this topic covers

Material intensity, supplier diversity, recycling and qualification as resilience tools.

Core energy-system ideas

Supply risk is not only price risk; it also includes refining, catalyst manufacturing and logistics capacity.

Reducing loading can improve resilience when performance is preserved.

Qualified alternate suppliers and recycling channels can reduce single-point dependency.

Important tradeoffs

Platinum intensity and lifetime productivity answer different questions.

Material and performance evidence

Price scenarios should use user-entered current assumptions rather than forecasts embedded in the site.

Lifecycle perspective

Supply resilience can improve through lower loading, longer life, recycling and supplier diversity.
