The document proposes a solution to global energy and water shortages by using wind power to electrolyze seawater, producing hydrogen and purified water. The hydrogen could then be used as a clean energy source, while the water is made drinkable. This approach could provide sustainable and self-funding solutions to critical issues in both developed and developing areas of the world. It outlines the plan in phases, calling for an initial champion to help validate the design and build prototype systems.
1. A New Alliance: Wind plus Water
We will show you we can use wind to
change the world by bringing water and
survival to those who desperately need it.
2. Can We Agree?
1. Wind is a critical part of our energy future
• We believe it has a bigger role than currently identified
• Unlike using it for direct impact on “the grid,” we see
an even more powerful application in the future
2. Water is a global challenge
• The world has a shortage of clean, usable water
• The world has abundant, free sea water
• The world needs alternative sources for drinkable water
Let us show you how these come together

The Problem
3. H2Go Offers An Elegant Solution
• So often, new solutions create new problems
– We have a solution to two global shortages [energy and water]
– Energy is a marketable byproduct of this water solution
• This is a sustainable solution (psst: that’s rare)
• Initially we think of water issues as existing in
the poorest regions on earth
– But this issue is threatening the developed world as well
• So often, solving these kinds of global issues
becomes a financial sinkhole
– This approach is self funding, at the very least

The Problem
4. The Problem is Truly Global
• Third World
– More than 50 countries on five continents are in water disputes
– 50 per cent of Africa’s predicted population of 1.45 billion people
will face water stress or scarcity by 2025
• Industrialized World
– Big Spring Texas will spend $560 million to increase water supplies
through 2060 (and remain in short supply for the future)
– Sacramento Valley farmers will lose $2 billion of revenue in 2009
because of reduced irrigation flows, with a bleak future
– There are water wars in Murray-Darling Basin in Australia because
the river is over-allocated
The Problem
5. A New World Equation
Drinkable Water + Clean Energy + Self Funding =
Whole New World
• The primary thrust of this technology is to
create water, instead of simply purifying it
• The secondary component is the creation of
hydrogen energy
• The proceeds from this energy can be used to
self-fund the water operation, producing a
long-term, sustainable model for a brighter
future, and hope for those in need

7. Not Theory, Proven Solutions
• No new technology here – just new creative
insight on how to use what exists today
• The individual components of this concept have
been tested, and proven, to work individually
– Wind Energy or Wave Energy
– Sea-water electrolyzers
– Hydrogen transport systems
– Hydrogen power plants

8. We Need a Global Champion
• Someone who
– Understands the world value of water
– Understands the dynamics of wind
– Recognizes the value of this technology
– Has the vision and is willing to champion this kind of game
changing solution
• A partner to shepherd this project from design to
prototype, in two phases
