Mitigating anthropogenic climate change and achieving geopolitical energy equality hinge on efficiently storing and generating clean power and slowing or reverting atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. To reduce atmospheric CO2 levels, we must both use renewable energy sources as well as convert CO2 emissions into useful chemical products that simultaneously sequester the CO2. The polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer can be used to generate carbon-neutral fuels or hydrogen for later use in PEM fuel cells. However, heat and mass transport issues must be resolved before these technologies can reach the efficiencies and cost reductions needed for widespread clean energy use.

减缓人为气候变化和实现地缘政治能源平等取决于有效储存和生产清洁能源以及减缓或恢复大气二氧化碳水平。为了减少大气中的二氧化碳含量，我们必须既使用可再生能源，又将二氧化碳排放转化为有用的化学产品，同时将二氧化碳封存起来。聚合物电解质膜（PEM）电解槽可用于生成碳中性燃料或氢气，供PEM燃料电池使用。然而，在这些技术能够达到广泛使用清洁能源所需的效率和成本降低之前，必须解决热量和质量运输问题。
