There shouldn't be an issue with climate since fuel cells are used in spacecraft. I don't see how hydrogen can compete either, but this tech works where you can't use combustion and need to fill up quickly. It'll work on Mars...so we got that going for us. This will have a tough time competing with the Li-air batteries that are in development with now working prototypes as of Oct 2015. http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/new-design-points-a-path-to-the-ultimate-battery
