7 Global Drivers Continue to Provide Opportunities for Powertrain Technology Increased demand for mobility, focus on emissions Population Growth Urbanisation Increasing Wealth Tighter emission regulations, low CO 2, zero emissions Environmental Factors Climate Change Regulation Evolving Technology Natural Resource Constraints Improved fuel efficiency, alternative fuels, sustainable energy generation Health & Nutrition Ageing Population Focus on air quality to improve public health 2016 Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells Ltd

8 Johnson Matthey Battery Technologies and Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells Johnson Matthey Battery Technologies spans the battery value chain Acquisition of Axeon Group Acquisition of A123 assets & Clariant. Expanded internal R&D and product development programs. Further acquisitions being pursued. Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells develops and manufactures Cell components Membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) and MEA sub-components and catalysts Range of automotive, stationary and portable fuel cell applications Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells Ltd

9 Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells - Products JMFC s key product is the MEA (membrane electrode assembly) - a complex laminate of carbon fibre based gas diffusion layers, catalysed electrode layers and a proton conducting polymeric membrane. Producing high quality MEAs requires skills in materials science, chemistry, physics, catalysis, production engineering and quality control. The cell is completed by two conducting plates that distribute gas uniformly over the outer surfaces of the MEA sandwich. In automotive fuel cell engines the cells are stacked in a bipolar arrangement to provide the total power and I-V characteristics required for the electric powertrain.
