The world civilization consumes carbon-based fossil fuels 100,000 times faster than they are
being made available, raising many questions about global supplies and whether they are able to
meet the world's fast-growing global energy demand. With geopolitical uncertainties in oil
producing countries and insufficient oil refining capacity, our global economy is already under
significant pressure. Oil is critical to the well-being of entire nations, therefore new technologies
that can reduce the dependence on imported oil are becoming strategic. National security
concerns are now encouraging scientists from all over the world to develop new energy
technology solutions such as hydrogen fuel cells.

An even greater issue has to do with the consumption of oil itself. Fossil fuels contain carbon,
and burning gasoline in our cars creates toxic air pollution in our cities and contributes to
massive amounts of carbon dioxide being released into our atmosphere. Carbon dioxide
accumulation is the cause of greenhouse effects and global warming. For more than 100 years,
humans have burned tremendous amounts of carbon-based fuels, causing our atmosphere to
heat up. Global warming can now be witnessed by increasingly violent storms, desertification,
shrinking mountain glaciers, melting polar ice caps, changing ocean currents and rising sea
water levels.

Our society needs a new and renewable fuel and hydrogen is the best solution for the long term.
