New Solar Energy Project in the tank, a desert of china. Its set to become one of the Worlds Largest and will supply over 2000000. 00 homes with electricity in china as elsewhere, Renewable Energy is becoming lower cost solution, then fossil fuel. The port of albert denmark plates are being loaded for an offshore wind park in the north sea place its, its beautiful. Its a symbol of green energy. Right now the world is going through. Its great is transformation since industrialization. 150 years ago to beach Climate Change, fossil fuels will need to be phased out for Renewable Energy. But is that even possible . And if it is, what do we need to do to successfully make it happen . The it looks a bit like giants performing a dance routine. These rotor blades are among the largest in the world. Soon theyll be turning to the coastal winds of denmarks north sea, providing energy from a source that can never run out. Outboard is a key location for the transition in Energy Production engineer ava nielsen is helping make this transition possible. I remember my 1st a 1st time i saw a late moving. It was lifted from the mold and was moving under the roof. I imagined it that he would just like us is that was as a ship and just moving a both me because it was so huge and douglas, assuming surprised me the long blade and now we have 115 meters the i still get some chris. When i go in production homes and i see its all the end of the whole several hundreds of lead us away, i can see small people up to 18000. 00 households can be supplied with energy from a turbine of this size here in albert german spanish manufacturer siemens can mesa is building some of the largest Wind Turbines in the world. In the future, however, it wont just be about building as big as possible. I believe in the future that would be much more focused on the, on the waste. Our customer will come with them and spend a demand, so we come into the contracts that will have to, to, to improve our folks all the time. So that will the, now its a big news that we can, we can make and recycle blades. But all the time that will be is something that we will need to do because the way we have to improve the way were building. Currently the fiberglass competed blades cant be recycled by 2030 though. All rotor blades made and albert are to be fully recyclable, the zeros angel to form. And once we finish, we close the form and then we put a proxy. So the proxy is easy because it combines all the materials on all the confidence inter together and doesnt make it big. Its like a cake. When we finish baking, we open up the mold, and then we have to bleach. Itll be even more important in the future. That Wind Turbines can be recycled at the end of their service life. As we build ever more of them off shore on the open seas. Where today there are thousands, there will soon be tens of thousands. For me its like a simple off to image. If you have a plate, this is a slice of a bird that out, and i mix of it. This is what you see from the outside is what most people see when they look at the 2 events, what us and yeah, i also look at the insight, we will have this strength where they have to reinforcement so. So its super interesting and its really, really nice. The High End Technology has been good for growth over 20 years. The planted l bork has expanded to provide around 700. 00 jobs. Sarah maci was offered her as well. She was still studying whats really interesting is that when you have this great phone activity produce, you have a lot of modeling industries that kind of follow that. So that means that when we make blades, you need someone who tests them. You meet the, you mean actually stable way to transport it. So you had a lot of growing together when you actually start out with a project list to see what im working with in his physical form and knowing that i was able to help make this. Thats insane. He grabbed the floor and it really gives a lot of joy in my life. And the, and thats invaluable. Denmark is a pioneer in the field of wind energy and a Global Leader in the transition to a Carbon Neutral economy. Lena bar for it is the deputy mayor of copenhagen addressing the issues of technology and the environment. When i was a kid in the style of the seventys, we were hit by the i prize like a lot of other countries. And of course, a lot of or political the resources were put into how can we reduce energy consumption. But also a lot of people in copenhagen in denmark site, id say we want to produce energy that we can be show off. So a lot of people started to look at wind and solar power. Wind power covers over half of denmarks usage, the highest per capita in the world. Mad snip a seals, stat builder of offshore wind farms. The way out see the globe move race against time to fight Climate Change is that there is no competition. The only partners under green transformation and we need to help each other. We need to share or technology innovation. We have across awards with each other, not make it proprietary. Because if its, if one small country convince Great Solutions and it only helps a small country, then it wont have to was. And the rest of europe benefits hugely from denmarks know how and wind energy to while in denmark, wind power already mix up more than half of energy supply. Its only around 25 percent in germany. Denmark shows that this change is possible even without major restrictions on demand. The green transmission that is necessary is not a fault. How can we go back to the stone age showing using the green transition is the possibility to make new lives new way of living. That could be a lot better. How can we completely transition to Renewable Energy . What will that mean for society . These are some of the questions that the pottstown institute for Climate Impact research is addressing this into them. So what else we have z is if you, if we need many, many different technologies and then high quantities we want because of all, finally its when that Climate Policy is over the past 15 years from the r is very important to understand how huge the challenge is some years ago we were discussing that if we dont do anything, then we will have the big Climate Change and that would be terrible. Now we have to say, its not something that would come in the future. Its here now. If we are to achieve sustainable Climate Policy, will need Renewable Energy in 2022 for the 1st time, there was as much money invested into Renewable Energy as into fossil fuels. The majority of europes new Wind Turbines are currently in the north sea, off the coast of germany and england. In a few years. The power generated is set to be able to supply half of the use population. Just a few years ago. These sorts of magnitudes were barely imaginable, but things have changed a development which also benefits german, wind farm operators. Offshore into the flu, and offshore wind was an asset class. Everyone used to laugh about, see if you Wind Turbines offshore and the german nor see or the u. K. The today that is completely changed to all of the backbone of our Energy Transition stand. Rivaling large power plants are offshore. Wind farms are comparable to coal fired plants, even Nuclear Plants will cost the exclusive, the north sea. But also the baltic sea outs. Fantastic potential, especially fall showing is this. I know most of it was a, its a huge, expensive ocean vehicle with potential to build 300 gigawatts. The phone con, 300 gigawatts of power from the wind farms in europes northern seas alone equivalent to over 200 Nuclear Power plants. It could supply up to 300000000 households, a tenfold increase over its current output. The germanys power grid operators are also preparing for the shift you had always, i think everyones realized with the boat succeed in north sea. Other places will most likely be able to generate to future energy reliably with so many countries and to use yes, think about it is on so many industry representatives on board. And so i believe that i think the consensus is that it really has become fluids. The Worlds LargestWind Turbine Test Center is located in are still off the western coast of denmark. Here theyre looking into how to improve the stability and efficiency of the turbines. Theyre to withstand the forces of nature for 20 to 25 years and came out of conditions that were considered untenable just a few years ago. A super calm, but youll also see the really rough wind what it can do and how these structures play with nature. So when its really windy, you couldnt really hear that the wind is pulling in the plates. As a Wind Turbines, output increases sodas, its cost effectiveness, increased efficiency, ultimately impacts the price of electricity for end consumers, both for household and for industry. We started to interstate in 10 years ago with a much smaller turbine, that was 6 megawatts in size. And i think it never becomes routine because every year, every 2 years, we expand that the turbine size is significantly even when the wind is blowing. The pace of the use transition to climate neutrality is determined by the speed of adoption of greener energies. Northern European Countries will need a considerable amount of Wind Turbines as they build out their networks on sea and land. Its why s b or denmark has built to europes largest shipping hub for Wind Turbines. In just a few years, all of these here will be supplying electricity also to new Industrial Centers that are being built along the new energy network. Vivians and us noise. I believe it will see industrial companies, new investments and locations aligning with where energy is particularly green and where is particularly cheap. So i think theres a close connection between transformations and Energy Systems and feature industrial policy Industry Party taking that to the international Renewable Energy agency has also noted a correlation between Sustainable Energy supplies and economic up turn it even the it transitioning to Renewable Energy is the project of the century, which means rebuilding our industrial structures. Irina is predicting a 380 gigawatts target for 2030 different 2000 gigawatts by 2015 years in food sake. Those are global targets. 2000 gigawatts is enough to provide a 5th of humanity with power to progress, especially where wind energy is concerned is astonishing. Nevertheless, the pace of expansion would have to pick up significantly to hit that self imposed target. And prices would need to continue to fall precedence customer marketing kind of this does via weve had a few stream, the inspiring developments and technology and with folks of all tax. But weve seen that the cost of energy being generated by the palms, a full and by a factor of 10. 00 between 201020. 20. See lets press the tight gate and titles and see and on. So i told him, tons which does this awesome, but the 2nd pillar of the Energy Transition is solar power. It to has seen rapid technical advances. The 1st solar power plants used thermal heat to generate power mirrors focus, solar radiation on to a tower generating temperatures of up to a 1000 degrees celsius minerals such as salt or melted. They store the heat, which can then be used to power turbines and generate electricity at night, or in bad weather. Theyre known as concentrated solar plants, initially expensive to operate. They are now experiencing a technical and economic renaissance in madrid, jose luis, at a narrow works for a major Spanish Technology group, analyzing Investment Opportunities and Renewable Energy. And those type in the office. But i dont understand a long, one of the, a, from a technological perspective. I mean, were striving to be at the forefront by using the latest solar panel models and technology. So what id like by facial panels or finding out the best way to optimize our inverters and things like that. The best thing for you guys are going to do. The prospects for growth in foldable takes in spain are incredibly promising. All of the necessary conditions are here in the plenty of land, solar energy, so well connected infrastructure and being motivated supporters for actively developing project. The, the name of spain has invested extensively into new solar plants now and its funny is read in the country enjoys very low production costs for solar power when compared to many other parts of europe. The constant advances in technology are now also leading to smaller systems with the centralized applications. The concentrated solar process remains essentially the same. Mirrors focus the sunlight, directing it on to a storage medium. In this system, water in a drainage system is heated. The steam drives the turbine, which in turn generates electricity. Thats fed into the grid, the if the spanish in the north sea regions, existing capabilities were utilized optimally. They, with the help of the sun and wind, could cover much of use energy requirements, something becoming more and more possible with the following costs of Renewable Energy. When they might just says on an end the month as of yet thats a lot to use and you can see that we went on my way to a system thats not based on fossil fuels with you know, but on renewables. By the end of it, it gives us the fundamentals of that. But the question remains to how do i scanned it . So often times before the worst case clinic catastrophe occurs. Um, it does have tied to chrome. Well just, well do. Well do the students to keep my kids school thoughts of in the how do we scale up the Building Blocks for such a system . Scientists around the world are asking themselves the same question in berkeley, california. Professor john lynn together with beijings ching, while university is researching the influence, Energy Generation has on Climate Change. In the past, people typically assume going cleaner and greener inc. From your technology, your economy didnt cost you more. Is no longer the case in china as a l square. Renewable energy has to be coming lower cost solution then fossil fuels. In china, 2 developments in Sustainable Energy generation are seeing a rapid upswing industrial waste plants in areas no longer being farmed or turning into gigantic solar farms. Around 80 percent of the countrys Rising Energy needs are still met by fossil fuels. But thats that to change. China wants to double its solar and wind Power Capacity by 2030. This would place the large country alongside the European Union as a Global Leader in the transition, the dig into 4. 00 per 2nd. Were projecting that 60 percent of Global Investment into Energy Transition will happen in asia, in the 40 percent of thoughts in china. And, you know, it takes sort of a coordination on massive scale. Theres still a lot of a so called bond pump in the road as your transition, so completely to or Carbon Neutral economy. But Climate Change is a Global Challenge that would require a global collaborative actions from all sectors of the world, both public and private, both industry, government and the citizens. Large solar parks are being built on the water and in the mountains to an infrastructure is also coming along high capacity power lines that carry electricity to where the worlds 2nd largest economy needs at most in its Industrial Centers and large mega cities analysis. They have demonstrated that as clean energy become cheaper than the traditional fossil fuel energy, youre going to save money for consumers and manufacturers for the money saved can be recycled. So we Economy Investment in consumption. That will lead to a higher level Economic Growth and more jobs. A new solar plant is currently under construction in the tank of desert. Its set to become one of the largest in the world, supplying more than 2000000 households with electricity. Projects of this magnitude dont only directly impact chinas Energy Industry given the science of chinese economy was that these had to move to a certain direction able to effect the Technology Costs and innovation process globally decreasing costs and increasing efficiency. If the potential of solar and wind energy is harnessed consistently a full transition could succeed on a global scale. Worldwide, researchers are currently hard at work on technologies to advance Energy Generation. In california is silicon valley. There is a special focus on materials research.
