Oil prices has been soaring and the industry are urgently looking for new energy source. What could be the next to replace petrol running your car? Yes, water maybe the potential one as more research are looking into it. It is possible because of the new hydrogen conversion technology. Hydroxy or HHO (also known as Brown's Gas) is extracted from water and it is use to supplement energy and fuel to your car's engine.

There is already a lot of talks that water could be the next future commodity and it will be as profitable as oil. There are a lot of researchers who sees that the diminishing certain water bodies is similar to the depletion of oil reserves. Let's look at the availability of the resource. 70% of Earth today is covered with water but only 3% is fit for human consumption. Out of the 3%, 2/3 of it is frozen and largely glaciers and ice caps. Therefore roughly only 1% of it will be available for human use. What about the rest of the 97% ? They are not fit for drinking or for any agricultural use. So you can see there are actually plenty of resources available.

However, there are some environmentalists that see environmental abuse of water the same as the abuse and waste of oil. Everyday people are using gasoline for all sort of usage. Are you aware that the oil reserves are actually depleting and the world will soon be facing an oil crisis? Although it will take years to happen but one thing is for sure, gasoline price will continue to skyrocket as it depletes.

However, water is also slowly experiencing the same kind of exploitation as a result of uncontrolled use of oil and other fuel. As more industry activities increases, burning of fossil fuels had led to global warming, the meting of glaciers and early snowmelts. Worst of all, it has also led to climate changes that brought too much rainfall to some places and little in other locations.

All these have also lead to water contamination. Despite all the above, water is still becoming a very hot commodity of the future. Big equipment companies like General Electric are already eyeing on this opportunity. Markets like drinking water distribution, management, waste treatment and agriculture are already being actively developed all around the world. It is estimated that this industry is nearly a $500 over billion market and is growing at a lightning pace. Company like Singapore base company - Sembcorb Industrial, Zurich base sustainable Asset Management and Japanese-Dutch Consulting firm are all pouring a lot of development into the water-related businesses. As water become privatize, it will be collided with global water human right. People are arguing that water is an essential for human life and its distribution should be made readily available for the public and not just the rich who can afford water.

If this really happen, than the poor might not even have safe drinking water as drinking water would become a luxury and prominent image in advertising. Now, if water is further industrialize as a supplement for gasoline, it will deeper the conflict between gas, oil and water. Whether or not water is going to be the "blue oil" for the future or new source of gas, we must still take care of our primary source of life and needs.

It is for sure that we do not want to experience what we are facing now in the gasoline industry that is to battle against high prices of commodities. We do not want water to be one of those commodities one day.
