Platinum is becoming increasingly crucial to the high technology sector, and is used particularly in catalytic converters and fuel cells, which serve to minimise or eliminate car exhaust pollution. Greatly expanded resources of this precious metal are needed to help society's transition to a low carbon dioxide (CO2) lifestyle. This project will combine high temperature-pressure experiments with geological field research to greatly improve our understanding of how platinum ore deposits form and thus where to find them. The outcomes of this project will change mineral exploration strategies in Australia and around the world, and facilitate our progression to a cleaner, greener future.

铂金对于高科技领域变得越来越重要，特别是用于催化转换器和燃料电池，有助于最大限度地减少或消除汽车尾气污染。需要大幅增加这种贵金属的资源来帮助社会向低二氧化碳 (CO2) 生活方式过渡。该项目将高温高压实验与地质现场研究相结合，以极大地提高我们对铂矿床如何形成以及在哪里可以找到它们的了解。该项目的成果将改变澳大利亚和世界各地的矿产勘探战略，并促进我们迈向更清洁、更绿色的未来。
