Palladium is just incredibly efficient despite its cost. At this point, just making products from biological feedstocks is a step forward. It will take a lot more work to reduce reliance on precious metals. I would bet more on catalysts based on metals like Nickel, Iron, Cobalt or Copper to do a lot of the heavy lifting down the line.
