New
Fuel cells will be the future energy source for our cars and other transport vehicles. It is a promising technology, because a fuel cell has a high energy density for its weight and it is friendly to the environment.
Replace
The fuel cell will be a replacement for current energy sources. However, if the current demand keeps on rising then the world will be facing a petroleum shortage.
