“Spending hundreds and hundreds and hun-
dreds of billions of dollars every year for oil,
much of it from the Middle East, is just

Globe Have Two Leading Problems
Not Enough Power And Increasing Carbon Emissions.
As desire of 7.2 billion people for better standard of living and
growth continues to expand around the world, the need for
power and more energy will require countries to significantly
increase their power generation. This requirement is profound.
The problem is; with ongoing growth, we need to burn more
fossil fuels as energy requirements and usage will increase.
By default, burning fossil fuels come with unavoidable ever in-
creasing volumes of CO2 emissions causing the GW, our most
troubling and most costly environmental problem.
Power generation and transportation are the largest source of
CO2 emissions, continue to add up and remain in our atmos-
phere for some 1000 years. CO2 and rest of GWG are harmful
to our health and to our planet endangering the human survival.
The fossil-fuel industry’s success in safeguarding its own eco-
nomic interests is no longer tolerable. The industry is refusing
any responsibility and being allowed passing all obligations in-
cluding the immense cost to mitigate the global damages to
public.
The regulators must stop the conflicting fossil fuels policies and

GLOBAL H2 ENERGY GROUP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1/2016
Power utilities are among the most regulated industries but regulators keep rewarding power utilities to deliver only about 15% of the origi-nal fuels energy to our power out-lets. There are some 45,000 power plants around the world and the amount of fuels energy wasted is staggering and there is a better way. We must Link Heat and Elec-tricity in Co-generation, and stop the energy waste madness. Proven on site CHP is able to deliv-er 90% efficiency, and regulators have the authority to create rules for utilities to refocus from power only to cogeneration if they want to stay in business.

Cost - effective hydrogen from water is no longer the missing link in
the Hydrogen Energy and Economy - Conversion Value Chain.
We now have the proprietary knowhow and ability to produce the
cheapest, the most energetic non-polluting hydrogen based fuel.
Using an outside the box and unconventional approach with help of
nanotechnology inserted into old process of water electrolysis al-
lows us to produce eH2Fuel at ~50 cents per kg/2.2 lbs. any time,
and all the time, based on 10 cents per kWh cost of electricity, and
$5 per ton/ 264.2 gal/1000 liters of municipal tap water in U.S.
This is the only technology without any limitations that has the ca-
pability over next 20-30 years to completely avoid the CO2 emis-
sions displace the fossil fuels burning, and reverse the Global
Warming if we are the only one responsible.
Unlocking the Global Potential of eH2Fuel
TM
Globally 1.5 billion people are still with-
out access to electricity and about 3
billion still use solid fuels - wood, char-
coal, coal, and dung for cooking and
heating.
eH2Fuel has no carbon content be-
cause the source is water that is abun-
dant... easy and cheap to access...and
about to make fossil fuels obsolete.
Hydrogen liberated from water is a
clean universal fuel that burn in pres-
ence of oxygen like all fuels but giving
out more energy on mass bases than
oil, natural gas and coal combined, with
only pure water vapor as is emission.
Hydrogen will produce clean electricity
and electricity can produce renewable
hydrogen, creating an energy loop that
is repeatable, sustainable and harmless
to the environment.
This hydrogen fuel may be produced
continuously in any desired volume, no
storage or transportation is ever need-
ed. Hydrogen will run virtually every
application and able to replace burning
the fossil fuels used today. eH2Fuel
used in decentralized CHP can gener-
ate electricity heat our homes and com-
mercial buildings more efficiently than
any central power plant will ever will.
Like all common fuels, hydro-gen is only combustible in the presence of oxygen in the air. Hydrogen has properties that make it more advantageous with respect to safety. Hydro-gen it is non-toxic, harmless to people and the environment. It is the lightest element on earth, thus, if released into the air, it disperses very quickly, reduc-ing the potential for accumula-tion and unwanted or accidental combustion.
‘HYDROGEN’ SOLUTION THE BEST IN ENERGY QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY
eH2Fuel from Water is Domestic Energy Resource
Will provide energy independence
Will be economic without subsidies
Will not increase use of fossil fuels
Will not increase prices of other sectors (like food)
Will not create additional environmental problems
Will drastically reduce CO2 and threat of GW
Will create millions of new long term job opportunities
Will provide independence from fossil fuels
Will reduce dependency on all energy imports
Will guarantee security of energy supply
Will reverse the negative world trends
Will end the transfer of wealth to unfriendly nations
WATER - is non-combustible,
and infinitely safer than liquid
fossil fuels, and since it contains
no carbon in its structure, it is
carbon natural and environmen-
tally friendly.
Cubic meter of water weight's one ton, and contains 111.18kg /244.46bs. of pure hy-drogen whereas a cubic meter of liquid hydrogen weight's only 71 kg/156.2 lbs.
Thus, water packs more mass of hydrogen and store more energy per unit volume, than hydrogen itself because of its tight molecu-lar structure.
Ton of Heptane - base of gaso-line store ~113 kg/248.6 lbs. of hydrogen-the true fuel, combined with 886 kg/1949 lbs. of carbon along with 1kg/2.2 lbs. of impuri-ties. All hydrocarbon fuels are molecular combinations of hy-drogen and carbon atoms, each with a specific combination of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
That is the same carbon that oil
companies are trying desperately
to clean up and remove from
their fuels. Because every kg/2.2
lbs. of carbon burned, whether
contained in coal, natural gas,
gasoline, diesel, kerosene, or
any other hydrocarbon fuel, una-
voidably leads to 3.66 kg of CO2
emissions. Hydrogen has all the
right attributes, environmentally
benign character and ability to
bring about the much needed
energy sustainability, with the
door wide open to full clean en-
ergy independence to all coun-
tries.
Over 70% of our globe is covered with oceans with average depth of 2.9 miles, estimated to be around 340 million cubic miles. (We already burned through half of Oil reserves estimated at very questionable un-proven 30–40 cubic miles still in ground). 200 Million tons of ocean water is available for every person on earth, family of five “owns” enough sea water to fill lake 6 miles by 6 miles and 40 feet deep. Hydrogen is safely stored in this vast amount of water in our oceans, lakes and rivers and polar ice caps.
Advantages of Hydrogen Energy -
No carbon is ever needed to be involved!
Hydrogen is the most vigorous and universal of all the fuels where on mass basis store over three times the energy of fossil fuels. When we split water and burn the hydrogen it recombines again with oxygen in the air and reform back to water, releasing lots of clean energy in form of heat for us to harness and use.
We could not dream up more elegant, more simple or more efficient hy-
drogen storage than is provided to us by nature. Contrary to popular be-
lieve splitting water is the simplest and most straightforward electrochemi-
cal process to obtain the hydrogen as a primary product. The hydrogen
doesn’t need exploration, drilling, refining or even transportation. eH2Fuel
is the only fuel that may be produced in any desired amount in only few
seconds, and used directly on site, there is no need to wait millions of
years to be created like all the fossil fuels.
The beauty is when we burn hydrogen from water, we may use the large
amount of energy released, and it will recombine back to water. The cycle
may be repeated over and over again, we will never run out of this energy
source. When it comes to fossil fuels; there is no recycling, we may only
burn the fossil fuels once, and they are gone forever, but the CO2 released
from its combustion stay in our atmosphere for some thousand years.
Governments and the big establishment controlling our fossil fuels energy
are spending billions, but funding more their PR than the search for better
energy storage. It is obvious that it is not in their best interest to find any-
thing that will threaten to replace their fossil fuels industry. That is why
their billions spent on research will never find the most obvious; the hydro-
gen stored in water, because water is one of most abundant resource in
the world and everybody can get it. For all practical purposes' there is un-
limited amount of clean energy stored in our oceans, lakes and rivers readi-
ly available, in form of hydrogen safely bound with oxygen.
Target Global Markets
There are millions of large residential, commercial and industrial buildings
in US but much larger energy market share falls outside the US, where cost
of energy in many cases is two to three times higher that in US. Each one of
those countries has large residential and commercial building stock with
similar characteristics of thermal and electric loads for eH2Fuel-CHP. Exam-
ples of some of those applications in US are listed below. Many residential,
commercial and light industrial applications have higher base thermal
needs relative to the electric use, especially true for thermal consumption
in the cooler months for heating and cooling in summer. Such applications
include resorts. hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, college and universities
campuses, and light manufacturing among many others.
More than ever, we live in a world where changes to the economy, society,
and to the environment are so fundamental that the past is no longer a reli-
able guide to the future. Even more important than ever we have to look
into future and face the reality, that in order to keep what we achieved this
far we must take some extreme steps and force some uncompromising
changes especially when it comes to energy if we are to survive without the
looming global calamity.
Making heat and power cheaper and clean, allows for better ROI for inves-
tors and stakeholders than with any fossil fuel system, should get every-
body’s attention.
EU Market size is 160 million build-
ings and cost of energy is higher,
in number of countries as much as
three times the cost in US and
most would welcome carefree
cheaper clean energy.
US Market size is 142 million build-
ings and most would welcome
cheaper clean energy. Number of
U.S. commercial buildings: is 5.6
million. Number of U.S. industrial
facilities: is 346,000. Combined
annual energy costs for U.S. com-
mercial buildings and industrial
facilities is $400 billion.
eH2Fuel may be used in all appli-
cations where fossil fuels are now
used, with only minor adjustment,
only due to much higher energy
content.
eH2Fuel on kg/kg basis when
burned in CHP system producing
electricity and heat using the elec-
tricity to charge electric cars with
90% efficiency has 22 times the
energy of coal, 3.7 times the ener-
gy of natural gas and 18 times the
heat energy of gasoline.
It is now easy to go green.
Market Size for Hydrogen Energy and Economy
Renewables wind and so-
lar have very high capital
cost but have low efficiency
due to intermittent nature of
wind and solar radiation.
Wind doesn't always blow
and sun doesn't shine at
night when electricity and
light is needed most. Based
on strictly economics, the
industry will not survive a
day without the heavy public
financial support.
Just as with all fossil fuels
energy systems, it is easy to
attach meter to hydrogen
system, yet far more profita-
ble because water at around
$ 5 per ton is low-cost feed-
stock for hydrogen, without
the burden of creating envi-
ronmental disaster. Crude oil
even at current low prices' is
still about $250 per ton.
Economics of Cogenera-
tion just got even better
Cogeneration optimizes the
energy supply to all types of
consumers, with many bene-
fits for both users and socie-
ty at large: eH2Fuel/ImHP -
CHP burning eH2Fuel offers
by far the best economics of
any energy system in use
and doesn't need a
handouts from governments
to be economically viable.
Electrolysis of water and
CHP are mature and availa-
ble technology. Dramatic
savings are achievable by
moving away from central to
DE and CHP where conver-
sion of fuels energy is in
range of 90% efficiency,
simply by utilizing most of
the fuels energy and availa-
ble heat, for space heating/
cooling and hot water, the
same heat that central pow-
er generation system must
intentionally dump because
their relic system is unable
to use all of the lower tem-
perature heat.

CHANGING ENERGY QUALITY
The major benefits of a conversion to Hydrogen energy and economy are the near-
elimination of air pollution morbidity and mortality and global warming, due to fossil
fuels use, but will allow for new job creation, energy-price stability, reduced interna-
tional conflict over energy because each country will largely be energy independent,
increased accessed to distributed energy and reduced energy poverty to the 4 billion
people worldwide who currently collect their own energy and burn it, and reduced
risks of large-scale system disruptions because much of the world power supply will
be decentralized.
There are many variations of cogeneration in use around the world today. However,
in most part, those systems use nonrenewable polluting fossil fuels.
eH2Fuel/CHP reduces need for new transmission lines – avoids the need to build
costly, hazardous new high-voltage lines over landowner, environmental opposition.
A distributed energy future would save billions of capital investment and reduce the
cost of new power by about half per kWh. With eH2Fuel/CHP systems located at
point of use, line losses are eliminated. Allowing for 10% energy loss the net gain of
electrical and thermal energy is ~ 31 kWh from each kg of fuel, compare that to 1
kWh per kg of coal.
Energy is all about heat “the cleaner the better”; and it takes lots of effort and money
to find, mine, extract, process, and deliver fossil fuels to produce power. But globally
we are not just allowing, but in fact rewarding power utilities and the archaic central
power generation system to utterly waste and over 2/3 of the heat energy locked in
the fossil fuels.
With input of 100% fossil fuels energy at the power plant level, the net output arriving
at our electrical outlet is only measly 13-15% of the fuels original energy, or put it
other way; depending on country there is a 85 -87% fuels energy loss, ~65% is due
to power generation, 10-15% is lost in high voltage transmission and ~5-7% is lost in
power down to customer 110/220 V level. That simply means that from every dollar
utilities spent on fuel, 87 cents is totally wasted, and charged the customers for their
system inefficiency and the process.
Every gallon/3.785 liters of gasoline burned in our vehicles will release about 20
pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere. The average vehicle emits between 6 to 9 tons
of CO2 each year. And there are over billion vehicles driving the roads of the world .
Economic
Cost Efficiency: The most useful way of rating the efficiency of a hydrogen genera-
tion is calculating the energy required to produce kg of hydrogen. If the cost of elec-
tricity is known, it is simple to convert to the cost of a kg of hydrogen fuel essentially
the cost of a gge. EU cost € 0.15 per kWh and 4.65 kWh/kg plus € 5 per m3 of wa-
ter, kg of eH2Fuel cost € 0.70 and deliver 31 kWh of clean CHP for € 0.022 kWh.
Investing and bringing to the global markets environmentally clean and affordable hydrogen technology that will revolutionize the entire energy industry
THE MOST DISRUPTIVE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY – World will never be the same. Global Hydrogen Energy Group (GH2EG) under formation is endeavoring
to follow in footsteps of Solar City (SCTY) and intends to issue bonds
backed by eH2Fuel/ImPS assets later this year. The eH2Fuel/ImHP asset
backed securities pool together with long term 10 years power and heat
purchase agreements (HPPA) from thousands of small individual
eH2Fuel/ImHP plants placed in residential and commercial CHP leases,
and pass on some of the steady monthly payments from these assets to
debt investors. GH2EG have been seeking better ways to fund its lucra-
tive lease projects as the federal RE investment tax credit, which has tra-
ditionally helped to attract capital from tax equity investors, securitization
of its assets through ETF and green bonds is becoming an important
mechanism for the industry, and will expect to play in much larger role in
the near future. - See more at: http://cleantechfinance.net/impact-
