A 2nd time this week. There protesting against the nomination of muhammad shire alice, who donnie, as prime minister, irans president has visited areas, hit by flooding and land slides which have killed at least asia people. Heavy rains have caused havoc and dozens of provinces over the past week. At least 30 people are still missing. Ukraines president has ordered the evacuation of the eastern done yet screeching as fighting with Russian Forces intensifiers. Bellamy zalinski said people in the wider dumbass region, which includes a neighboring new hunt need to leave. Today was more to watch. It is important for warner people who still remain madame bass, in the areas of the fiercest fighting. There are hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of children, many refused to leave, but it really needs to be done because decision will have to be tight and regardless, believe me. And the sooner its made, the more people who leave the don, its region now, the fewer people, the russian army will have time to kill.

As a long march, 5 b rocket to fell uncontrollably back to police in guatemala, say 41 tourists was shot out while they were climbing the zuniga volcano. 10 people are still missing. Its not clear who shot at the group of hikers. Well, those are the headlines next. Its thrive to stay with us. Ah ah, for in the middle of the Biggest Energy transition saint saint austrian revolution. The code 19 panoramic is accelerating our move away from fossil fuels as price tags of renewables, particularly solar come down. It is now possible to actually imagine a Carbon Neutral world to run on clean energy. But there is still a long way to go with Climate Change as a care what the market think. The science will that still say we must harp global Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2030. If were to have any hope of reaching that 0 by 2050, and avoiding the worst effects of global warming. So the change while it is happening, needs to happen quicker in this program will be looking at 2 of the solutions that have a part to play in that transformation on the, on the islands in the u. K. Site as the working with one a clean energy is holy, grails, green, hydrogen, and in norway, a carbon which will data center is using the force of nature to power our digital lives. The Global Demand for energy is increasing, but burning fossil fuels is polluting and its warming the planet with devastating impact for life on earth. While Renewable Energy from wind, sun and sea cheaper than ever, with intermittent its difficult to store for a few of the future is emerging, which could prove fundamental to d carbonized in the global economy. Ive come to the Orkney Islands off the north coast of the u. K, where a network of sizes researchers approving a missing link in the next Renewable Energy revolution might be found in the simplest and most abundant element. Hydrogen. The universe is about 73 percent hydrogen, mainly occurring as gas, but on earth, most hydrogen is contained in water is the h in h 2. 00 oh. After its generated from water, it can be used as a fuel depos cause buses and even spacecraft. But in order to extract it from water, you need electricity. When thats produced using fossil fuels, it contributes to Greenhouse Gas emissions. In orkney, known as the energy islands, scientists have discovered how to produce Green Hydrogen using renewable power, generated by wind farms and title turbines. It could be a game changer, a meeting a del liddy deal, whos a Hydrogen Project manager and was brought up on orkney. Just letting on island. We have that sense of self sufficient fee. We need to do thanks for our fail to practice. We are not really good stuffs brazilian, as an island community. We come to shop and say one of orkney is 13 inhabited islands to see how they produce hydrogen. Kind of a juxtaposition of small fi island for quite a High Tech Energy project. This turbine is owned by local residents and produces more energy than the local grid can handle. So the excess power is used in hydrogen production. Im no scientists, but i could see on that that the same. It says them explosive compress gas. And what is actually happening behind this, this fits whats going on in these boxes. So if a working Energy Production fights, which is why were finding our site, whats the connection between wind that hydrogen . We have the wind turbine going round here today m. When it reaches a 1000 meters per 2nd, we switch that Energy Production over to produce hydrogen. These metal boxes contain the key piece of machinery and electrolyzer that generates hydrogen gas. And electric current flows through the electrolyzer causing water to break down into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is then collected and compressed, so the electrolyzer just takes normal drinking or use it for energy from the wind turbine, it splits the h 2 o 4 and to hydrogen and oxygen. We capture the hydrogen for use for energy and oxygen at the moment. I just ran it up here so youre re diverting. Yes. That wind energy into hydro dot. Right . Yeah. As storing and storing hyphen its transported by trailer and used all over orkney, some in domestic heating but mostly in commercial vehicles and ferries. In the trailers, the hydrogen stored under pressure at a 184. 00 times its original density. Thats a lot of energy. I meeting with james ferguson, a specialist and hydrogen storage. The highly inflammable gas is locked away in compounds on the key site. Oh wow. Oh gosh, so one of the big advantages of hydrogen is that it is a kind of option for Seasonal Energy storage. And thats when we want to store a lot of energy over months. So we know that in the u. K. During the winter, its very blue, its very windy. If we go to a wind turbine based energy system, were going to have a lot more generated in the winter than we need. And so we can capture that and store it from the form of hydrogen, and then keep it until the summer when we dont have any wind blowing and, but were still using energy, but you make was. So how is hydrogen used as a fuel where . Well, james has a rather knotty way of demonstrating this with a toy car that looks about what 20, you know, what . It shows me, how to produce hydrogen with many electrolytes. So we just to wait a moment, were going to generate some hydrogen. Were going to get build up an electric current passing through the water forms hydrogen bubble. Now got some gas storage here that we didnt have before. Now im going to take my cable round here and you can see now that the gases are flowing into the fuel cell. And then that is going to allow us to generate a p, which means the fargo that is absolutely better catch the principal to pose the fuel cell. And james is toy car is the same when scaled up to power. A fleet fight council ban on the island . Well, completely silent. Oh, completely silent. Wow. You can sometimes hear the compressor from the hydrogen when its when it kicks in. It, you know, here we, well, thats all you here. David hannon is working with the council to expand its use of hydrogen technology. So for a long time, were talking about electric vehicles as being the future of, of green transportation. What do you get a hydrogen per vehicle that you wouldnt get of an electric vehicle . This is also a battery runs off battery, but then the hydrogen is yours to basically extend the range on it. So if youre either traveling long distances, you can potentially double lot range and is another advantage it quick to refill with electric battery. You might take from pop an r t, it ours to charge a battery, whereas this is pretty much instantaneous, you know, talking couple of minutes normally wed expect to see an exhaust pick that the back of eventually this. Yeah. And you can see theres no source here and the same as any electric vehicle. Obviously weve got hydrogen, but then the sort of emissions off out as water paper is here yet. Right . Wow. All right, really with, with me, its great to hear house seems to be growing all the time. And theres that awareness of the importance of this kind of network or theres a quality of energy when you live in an archipelago. Another important form of transport is very nice, very company aubrey, 74 different connections and there are more than 20000 sailings each year, but the fuel used in shipping badly polluting i, david for david, hidden who works with the fay Company Clean hydrogen is part of his plan to clean up the operation. And they all happened below deck. Okay. Have no idea what we get into it. Here we go. Oh wow. Those are the shit. What were looking at here. The cylinders contain 5 kilos of hydrogen us equivalent 20 leadership fuel. What are you using this hydrogen . Hydrogen is stored in the system. It will run on july, january and its only the engine supply, steering the safety systems, and the delays and anything in the nation. So do you see a time when in the future . Hydrogen will be used to drive all the ships. Operation systems, including proposed within 2 will be stopping obviously on the small school shipping, both the states that already established fans and ferries powered by Green Hydrogen just part of the picture in orkney. Pioneering research into how the fuel could play a global role in transport and beyond is happening here at the Orkney Research and innovation campus. One of the most important projects is in aviation. In a normal year, nearly 14000000. 00 flights world wage result and heavy c o 2 emissions search for an alternative fuel. Hes Virgin One Company collaborating with scientists in orkney is 0 avia. I contact director surrogate kids a live whose excited about their 1st 15 minute long Hydrogen Test flight. It was a combination of almost 3 years of research and that frankly, it was, it was as the for delivering the baby and the full g was a sorry. And then the so excited that the same time i know that you guys are planning to fly here with one of your hydrogen per playing. Oh, the final flight down our high fire one project. I think in place proportional there or can you is famous for its hydrogen. Can you give us a time scale when you think that we will see passenger planes in the sky running on hydrogen . Of course theyre the technologies in its infancy. But i personally believe that in about 15 to 20 years, there will be a lot of jets. Why im using hydrogen. And this is truly exciting. So we can arise to the challenges of our Energy Economy or future transportation needs. It means embracing a range of solutions. I think what the do here orkney is proving the Green Hydrogen can be pot. Fiancee Green Hydrogen is beginning to take home. Its a key part of the ease plants become the worlds 1st Carbon Neutral constant by 2050. A new projects have been developed in chile, saudi arabia, united states. Yes, there is still a way to go before green. Hydrogen is proven to be scalable and cost effective, but it is gaining traction. And its one of a number of Current Trends that harold a welds free of fossil fuels. There is definitely a new power system and a new energy, a system emerged. Kind of our eyes, whether we look at power, generation and distribution or whether we look at transport. There is no doubt that we are in the middle. All the most consequential transition in the energy space that we have seen in the 100 years. It is a very exciting moment. Its also a nerve wracking moment, because we know that if we dont get to half emissions by 2030, it will be too late to do anything substantial about Climate Change. This is our last window of opportunity to bend the curve of emissions and get on to a diff, print track. And doing society would be a society that has a 100 Percent Clean Energy. That energy would be decentralized, cheap, ubiquitous. We would be able to provide power to every single home on this planet. We currently have 800000000 people who do not have access to power, meaning theyre in abject poverty. By moving over to a 100 Percent Clean Energy decentralized, we can make energy ubiquitous, and we can bring those work under the line of poverty over that line. A Green Society would be an economy that has smart grids that has storage available to all Renewable Energy generation. Sources would also be society in which there is efficient and clean transport. Passenger vehicles would offer transport as the service not being a possession of any individual. And heavy transport would be using clean fuels. And finally, cities would be clean wyatt because we would have put the internal Combustion Engine into them. And cities would be organized into smaller communities, around food and energy. At the beginning of the most decisive decade in the history of human kind. It behooves all of us to understand that this has been challenging and will continue to be challenging. But we can do that. We can address Climate Change in a timely fashion. We can avert the worst disasters of Climate Change, and in so doing, we can bring a much better quality of life for all citizens of this planet. And certainly for the ecosystems upon which we depend ah, people across the planet are spending an increasing amount of time on line from work meetings and catching up with friends to movies, streaming, and shopping. We are now more reliant than ever on platforms which generates and store data. But this data doesnt just vanish into thin air. It comes at a very real environmental cost. Everything we do on line passes through data centers which consume huge amounts of entity and emit nearly as much c o 2 as the airline industry. Im in no way to see how one center is harnessing the energy of these fuel worth to stole our Digital Information without a heavy carbon footprint. But this is a famous tourist attraction and photo hotspot poke is stolen in no way. It draws hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, but im curious to find out what people know about the data, all these photos generate. So when you take a selfie, it lands somewhere, have you ever imagine where that could be . I think the 1st time i would imagine is my, when youre asking, i havent been thinking about it. No, i have no idea. I send it to google, i guess in the cloud, in the cloud. And do you know what the cloud is . It makes Storage Place ah, like myself, most people only have vague ideas of where all our data has kept. Ive come to university of savannah to meet an expert on data storage and find out where our sophies end up the photo is. So ruby saw in the memory of their phone and then if youll share the photo or you want to back up the photo into the cloud area, end up using data center remotely could be in europe. It could be also in a remote line across the atlantic at those they probably accumulated in those data center. And those wallkill are forced us to have a big a big data center. So burn bear our problem for sustainability. How long or how much data we have to store them . In recent years, many of us have been moving into the digital realm and even more so under the cove at 19 pandemic for you here for the city. So live our online habits, take a heavy toll on the environment. A typical search which passes through data centers processing and storing information requires as much entity as illuminating as 60 what light bulb for 17 seconds. That doesnt sound like much until you realize google alone process is 3500000000 searches a day. Around one percent of electricity globally is consumed by data centers, many of which provide promote Storage Facilities or what is also known as the cloud. Is estimated that in 10 years is our data network grows. Almost 70 percent of all electricity will be used just to power and qu huge service, preserving everything from billions of family photos to big data on space travel. So where and how you stole your data can make all the difference. And no way is ahead of the game on this, since its powered nearly a 100 percent by Renewable Energy, most of which comes from hydro power. Im on my way to lancaster and island near savannah. Ive heard they have an old military storage, but instead of storing to dose and wall hits, they now stole billions of bites of information from all over the world. The underground Green Mountain data center which opened in 2013 is copper neutral, is run on high to power from water rest of us up the mountains for question. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you as well. Ah. Oh, wow. This is like being in a james bond film, but i can see that this is very secure. This is very secure. Oh wow, thank you. So this is how it looks when we took over the to sites here is empty space, but it will not be empty forever. As soon as we grow, this will be a data center as well. So no, were en freight. What people refer to as the cloud. This is where our customers are running their server storage equipment. So what kind of information if dont hear it could be anything from storage or picture to National Critical infrastructure if youd be kids at home doing their lecture online. So many people when they think about the cloud, they think out in the open as i think white and fluffy. But actually the cloud is mechanic and in black and its noisy, its black and its noisy, and it consumes a lot of power and generates a lot of heat to see how the Center Manager says its a quick write down the corridor. Oh, were the in diffuse room. This is for all the green energy flows through into the data. So this is basically the giant engine of this data center. The consumption in this data center with all the different data holes and consumes the power equal to about 20000 households. While this may seem a lot, some of the biggest data centers, consumers, much power. As the city of a 1000000 people, every click you do on your device, generates activity inside a data central summer. If its in norway is green and renewable as well. So using green energy, this data center is reducing its impact on the environment by cooling it service, choosing cold water from the nearby deep salt water inlet of yours. So whilst most data centers use around 40 percent of their energy to cool service, which would otherwise reach a 100 degrees celsius in minutes, this data center get its cooling free from nature. So this is where were producing the cold water used to cool the cloth inside the most cold seawater from the fuel into the basin next to the data center. This water, which is constantly 8 degrees celsius, is then pumped up through the heat exchanger cooling down separate water pipes that circulate through the data center. The wont up cbo to then exits back into the fuel at around 20 degrees celsius. Wet quickly cools down again. The Green Mountain data center in no way is unique because of the fuel cooling the service. And the way in which theyve repurposed an old site. But all over scandinavia tech giants like facebook, google, and microsoft. I building huge data centers running on hydro and wind power. In fact, investment in nordic data centers is set to double by 2025. Thank you or the the vote fully electric. Im meeting theory kelvin. A local matri ologist in green investor was confident this trend will continue. So this is where the hydro power is. Yes, the over the flu, the hydro station, its actually the worlds longest 4444. 00 steps over a 100 years old. So be careful, though, i can see that its old from this old train here. Here you see the old pipe coming down from the mountain. So all the waters just flowing high speed in the pi, creating electricity when they hit the turbine. So you have to use for nature gives you so in norway we have incredible rain or the concrete have sun then. Yeah, we also have wind, but here its rain that gives us the electricity. Scandinavia will be important to the worlds data storage. I think scandinavia will be very important for future data storage. Its a cold climate. If you can use the cold fjords to cool down the data center. We have the hydro pole word to run data centers. However, i think we also need to be even more responsible and take action the each one of us. And for instance, if we are talking on both data storage, we need to be concerned about how many celsius we need to take home many emails, some snaps and text message. We need to send me though we cant see it. Our use of digital devices has an impact on the world around us. This is only set to grow. Nearly 60 percent of the wealth population is already online and around 1000000. 00 new uses sign up each day. As our reliance and data expands, we need to find greenway to manage it. Here in no way, ive seen how this can be done. And i think we really need to learn from examples like this and make sure that we balance our modern lives with what the planet can sustain in which so many of us stuck a time during the pans. I make it perhaps hard to see that the world really has been given a golden opportunity for Green Recovery commitments are happening all over the place. As nations businesses, cities, investors pledge 0 call been targets by 2015. But right now, 21st is the q year. Thats just under a decade to determine the feature of the planets around the world who already seen glimpses the Green Society that could be hours last year, renewables over to fossil fuels as a main source of electricity in europe, and new k and australia to the solar panels on rooftops, one in 4 highway the nor was that solar complex in morocco serving this 1st phase. And its already producing enough energy to power the city of marrakech twice over a 60 percent of mont. Because cells in norway are electric, diesel cars will be banned there in 2025. The solutions are already there. It does need to go global to make a real difference. And for us to have that chance at a clean, green and prosperous future with august o j 0 kenya, braces for a title contested votes.
