Elizabeth: It would be the catalyst, i.e. not consumed. The fuel cells that I've heard about use hydrogen or methanol as the fuel. The ones that use methanol have a conversion process to convert the methanol to hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Methanol is more stable and available than hydrogen, but it's the hydrogen that must be extracted for the fuel cell process. I'm not a chemist, but this is my understanding of the processes. If silver should be needed for the new types of fuel cells, it would certainly help this stock.
