According to the U.S. Department of Energy, currently most hydrogen in the United States, and about half of the world's hydrogen supply, is produced from natural gas. An aggressive research effort is needed that includes new efforts to develop innovative "breakthrough" technologies for extracting fuel-grade hydrogen from natural gas.

The energy companies of today will be the energy companies of tomorrow.
As the United States transitions to a Hydrogen-based economy, energy companies will continue to seek out open innovation to identify, develop and deploy the technologies required.
Research and development has undergone a dramatic change.
In the past two decades the methodology for creating value from research knowledge has been fundamentally altered. A value chain links intellectual assets all the way from R&D to a final product or service. The end product must create economic value for the company that introduces it. Vertical industry structures have given way to horizontal industry structures. Vertical integration, where a single company would conceive, design, manufacture and deliver the product as well as support its customers, has evolved to an open innovation environment. In-house basic research is dying out as a consequence of free flow of ideas, people and products. The government plays a key role in the value chain. In the open-innovation model, success is increasingly based on teamwork, networking and contributing to the activities of others. Industry research relies now on contacts between all researchers, from industry to government to universities and others.
NAVSEA-Carderock, a 3,000 person research organization chartered by Congress to support the domestic maritime industry, is responsible for research and development, testing and evaluation, in-service engineering, logistics, and fleet support of Navy surface and undersea vehicles.
