To avoid the dire consequences, and yet ensure continued economic development, from the expected large increase in the global automobile population in the Third World, the transportation sector needs to move away from the internal combustion engine to fuel cell powered vehicles that operate on hydrogen. A research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) program is proposed to establish the superiority of the hydrogen-fueled, PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell-powered engine compared to the present internal combustion engine powertrain. This new drivetrain will lead to a major decrease in environmental pollution. ORNL is seeking funding to undertake this RD&D program.
