# Smoltek can make green hydrogen economically viable

Watch Break­ing Lab – a Ger­man YouTube chan­nel with focus on new tech­nol­o­gy – when they dive into how there is a pos­si­bil­i­ty to scale up the pro­duc­tion of green hydrogen.

> “We need green hydro­gen. But how can green hydro­gen scale up to an indus­tri­al lev­el when the cru­cial elec­trol­y­sis tech­nol­o­gy relies on one of the rarest met­als on Earth?”  
> *Dr. Jacob Beautemps*

This is the key ques­tion Dr. Jacob Beautemps asks him­self as he reviews the pre­req­ui­sites for pro­duc­ing green hydro­gen using Smoltek’s PTE—coated with Her­aeus Pre­cious Met­als’ irid­i­um oxide solution—in next-gen­er­a­tion PEM electrolyzers.
