Harnessing up wind and solar energy is increasing faster than ever because at some point in the future we will have to live without fossil fuels. Electrification of society Renewable Energy whether its bio gas hydrogen or electric cars if it will become more and more prevalent as we move into the future. Here in the industrialized world we consume huge quantities of resources but will we be able to satisfy our demands in the future too. As for the show the problem is so big that the hope and the chance of human beings changing their behavior in a massive way within a short space of time is extremely small and it. Says it can. Today there seem to be no limits to our mobility but industry and the Scientific Community face enormous problems what will we use in the future to power our cars airplanes and ships. As it got older people. And of course come to the do you think i can yes but the more difficult thing these are people of the minds. For the future. Industry is producing growing quantities that are growing pains and this digitalization increases so does the i. T. Giants hunger for energy. Tech companies such as microsoft will probably consume the amount of energy to a midsized nation in a few decades and other Companies One that went to the same. Union hoffman is visiting coral a wind turbine your home ward and its 2 owners. And clubs. For the last 4 months youll be honest been getting her electricity from karl but has yet to see a wind turbine from the inside karl is 18 years old and 120 meters tall which is one thing thats about 20 meters but the engine room is a height of 65 meters there other than how a cable and thats where the electricity comes down before entering the control system. To get something here you can also see the engine room above in crosssection. Here of the rotor blades and here we can see how much energy its produced so far 14000000 kilowatt hours which i reckon would be enough for many many years. Yes hydro on and klaus started building their 1st wind turbine many years ago today they run 15 of them. At 1st they sold their electricity to Energy Companies but a few months ago they began selling power directly to consumers. To set up works like a small scale private Energy Marketplace via their anyway Online Platform based startup. Anyone who has their own wind power facility or solar cells and generates more electricity than they need can set up a profile with any way to present themselves and look for potential buyers. Yes. I got there but the price is determined by each individual Energy Provider and if we dont have a say in that and if things logically are with a platform a price is settled that guarantees the supplier a profit well at the same time being very competitive on the Consumer Market and. That is heat. Energy market places like anyway are part of a growing global trend. The electricity market is becoming more customized and is linked to the question of how much clean energy is worthless one thing is clear electricity will play a pivotal role as a future Energy Supplier we are heading towards an electric and renewables future. So in 40 years we will have the distributed generation which means that we will make an edgy wherever there is sun or wind in particular so electricity will be very cheap much cheaper than today we should just move full speed ahead into electrification i like to say not through gas but from what. Norway illustrates what an electrified society could look like the country is currently tackling the most daunting challenge of all in the ship the green energy transportation. People in industrial countries have greater mobility than ever before world wide the transportation of people and goods accounts for around 30 percent of Energy Consumption and continues to rise. Over 90 percent of fuel used today is still sourced from mineral oil c o 2 eMissions Continue to rise instead of going down. Can our mobility be maintained without fossil fuels norway is the 1st country in europe to embark on a fully electrified Public Transit system. For all of our tom is chief of strategy as oslos Public Transportation authority the citys ferries are set to become the 1st in the world to run on electricity this 1652024 all ships will be electric and it sounds complicated but weve been surprised on this front to have it simpler than we thought. A prototype is already in operation the past of ferries vehicles and passengers across the 6 kilometer wide zone if you order north of baghdad the new technology was developed by german industrial giant siemens. Instead of one regular Diesel Engine it was fitted with 2 electric motors each delivering 450. 00 kilo watts of power the batteries are recharged during the 10 minute loading and unloading time between trips. Downtown oslo is almost now entirely car free the authorities are installing a large battery by the harbor to supply ferries and busses with electricity the 1st 100. 00 electric buses are set to come into operation this year and these large scale orders in norway are in turn boosting the production of evie it cools. It when this rain is also to encourage supply is but we have to place orders now and for them to start making the buses that we need in oslo let me finish we have done ill probably get those he say we want to buy the technology for the future today if we dont the future will arrive too late. When it comes to electrification norway has 2 major advantages over the rest of Europe Energy here is cheap and clean norway acquires around 95 percent of its electricity from hydro power plants. Plus the state has money to invest. In norway is a very strange mix i think we have a lot of this unknowns in this country and this announces that were speaking a lot about the climate and environment electrification of the cars at the same time were producing a lot of oil and Petroleum Gas where we say we are dependent on our oil exports so i call that the new. Schizophrenia. Maybe we do some of this because we have a budget conscious for all the Oil Production but i think theres a genuine enthusiasm as well. Also because we have a lot of hydro power which makes electricity very cheap here so its been a good place to start. And thats especially true with cars. Does and works for a company that makes charging stations for ecards hes in charge of Customer Communications and has no shortage of customers norway is a Global Leader in the field. The share of electric cars on the streets of oslo is already at 40 percent despite their limited range of around 300 kilometers and the fact they need far longer to refuel think gasoline models. The main reason for the high demand is not that norwegians are more environmentally aware he cars are simply far cheaper than vehicles powered by Combustion Engines in norway in eagle costs around 8000. 00 euros less than the regular model electric cars are completely tax exempt. And there are other financial incentives. No diesel cheaper insurance texas so. Thats was you see this issue in the moment and its cheap to join you know just changing so probably it will be sued no sooner or later will be that the missing though. So theres so much incentives to buy him electric cars theres no brainer i think come see this. Although it costs a lot of money the norwegian government has just extended financial backing for ecommerce through 2020. Perry has been stalking this is a researcher specializing in the Energy Transition and knows why people are resistant to new developments. Such as electric cars we have to overcome a human aspect which is the resistance to change we know what we have that we dont know what we get this is something we call loss aversion and psychology i dont i might loose on this fear for losing its double as strong as what i feel in pleasure if i gain the same thing in order to really get a through z. Some for this we have to make it simple and cheaper for people to get the go we so people can feel that oh its not just good for the army its good for my wallet as well and by the way my neighbor is doing it so i wanted to get all those 3 factors working then the human brain really gets into it and the change happens much more quickly. Excluding scandinavia the market share in europe is a paltry one and a half percent scientists a german think tank a gora blame a lack of incentives and investment theyve seen how europe has lost its pioneering role in alternative Power Sources now other countries most notably china are forging ahead in the development of electric cars and battery cells and in government authorisation. China has even set a quota to increase the proportion of ecommerce despite the fact that the country is still some way from producing enough Renewable Energy for electrification europe is under pressure to get up the pace but how. We couldnt put it to says politically if were to take climate protection seriously then we can no longer afford to proceed sequentially as it would mean 1st making the Electricity Sector totally clean and then talking about electrifying the transportation sector that will not be possible because we need too much time to meet the climate protection targets instead we have to pursue both strategies at the same time. Konstantinos below horse on the other hand i would not buy an ecard at the moment. He heads the efficient Mobility Research team at switzerlands federal Technology Institute and says Clean Electricity in europe is not yet advanced enough to make the leap into electrified transport. Is the quality of the relevant factor is the quality of the extra electricity i need for the mobility is off which power plant is hooked up at the moment i refuel my car at a charging station it will often this is a difficult task and. You have to know whether you will have additional Renewable Energies in addition to those you need to replace Nuclear Energy and coal fired power plants heaters it. Whats the priority when deciding where to invest it. Just yet as is finished if the government has to have a coordinated approach when it comes to the decoupling a zation of the electricity system we have to tackle this a little bit faster than the electrification of mobility if not of course we are doing it all wrong to fudge while other countries in europe are busy deliberating the norwegians continue to advance their infrastructure showing with the future might look like and the more bell the sicker. Charging points can be found in parking garages this one alone has over 100. And not just there the authorities have a range of cooperative deals with Shopping Centers for Nature Stores and fast food chains. At the same time new rapid targeting stations have been developed that are now being installed the traffic junctions. The idea is to extend the range of ecommerce for models that do not even exist yet. In a few years there will be cars on the roads which can charge much faster than the electric cars we have now and we believe that we. To build this infrastructure for these cars before the cars actually come so for the people driving these cars when you charge at these charging stations you can drive for instance from all slow to stockholm with a 20 minute stop because the batteries will be bigger so you can charge more electricity on to the battery every time you charge it and the process of charging will actually be much faster. And time is of the essence because norway plans to phase out cars with Combustion Engines by 2025. From the electrified climes of scandinavia we travel halfway across the globe. To japan which is embarked on a different route as a catapult itself into the Energy Revolution as a leading industrial nation japan has huge electricity requirements but precious few resources of its own. Most of its electricity came from Nuclear Power plants until the fukushima disaster in march of 2011. The country has since been expanding its Renewable Energies at full speed although they currently only account for 15 percent of the Energy Mix Japan also has a growing number of ecards on its streets but the government is still concentrating on another source of electricity hydrogen. There are 3 aspects that are crucial for us. Economic efficiency and the environment. And energy security. We examine is what would be best considering those factors must be an option for hydrogen. And its. A press conference in tokyo hosted by the ministry of economics and toyota showcases the 1st Hydrogen Powered truck to go into mass production. I. It. Is a need to meet. The need will fix your safety wally in boston fix the holes hold the muzzle of the exit polls fast and shut that its all or shut the deal its over officially fall evolved. This is just the starting fall it will almost trial. The advantage of hydrogen is that refueling is faster than with Battery Powered vehicles the truck needs just 10 minutes plus the range is further. Toyota says it has invested a quarter of a century in the development of the technology the mere i fuel cell car went into large Scale Production in 2015 for now it is still being assembled by hand with output currently at 3000. 00 cars per year. These tanks contain compressed hydrogen a colorless and odorless gas when mixed with oxygen it is turned into highly explosive oxy hydrogen with combustion leading to the release of large amounts of energy. The oxygen and hydrogen are introduced into the fuel cell a controlled flow rates the end product is electricity which powers the motor instead of Carbon Dioxide the waste product here is water. Physicist sheiko hirose is one of the fathers of the battery based hybrid drives pioneered by japan now hes committed to promoting Hydrogen Technology. But to ease. Combating that its going to. But they eat at the very limited amount. Time. We need to store the energy for balls. And more on the guys saw i do it in their activist seaview. To make it happen thats why we believe how to do this and. Hydrogen is a such an Energy Carrier and one of interest not only to carmakers Electronics Giant panasonic for example has developed hydrogen based fuel cells for domestic heating the Company Already has a partnership with a german manufacturer. Hydrogen is finding interest in a wide range of countries but there are still a number of reservations one factor is that electricity is itself needed to produce hydrogen and in many countries in addition to japan that electricity still comes primarily from fossil fuels. But plans are now in place to change that hummel wing is the nickname for a new experimental wind turbine in the harbor of yokohama city it generates electricity that is used to produce hydrogen gas. The hydrogen is transported to factories by tanker trucks one turbine can power about 30 forklift trucks the aim is to convert industrial vehicles to hydrogen to. Japans ministry of economics already has plans in the pipeline for the large scale import of hydrogen. From countries with plenty of sun. This will use nestle move. Going to get it to. Be produced very effectively from Renewable Energies and when i look at other countries especially the middle east i think they have the scope to do that cheaply. So we can imagine importing hydrogen from mayor. Huge solar power plants are currently under construction in morocco egypt and other countries with desert regions it is until now proved difficult to export electricity from these locations due to the lack of suitable power lines and Storage Capacity for such large quantities hydrogen could perhaps be an option for the future and it would have another advantage for the developing nations involved with mobility growing rapidly there as well fossil fuels have to be imported a considerable cost could self produced hydrogen eventually make these Countries Energy selfsufficient might even lease. In those counties and take charge advise him self how did income people use from by all for anything id be a devil you are around them so they and all their money. So to be mean this for education. Including that i. Japan now refers to a Hydrogen Society although the country still has some way to go on the infrastructure front Building Hydrogen filling stations is an expensive and time consuming enterprise the hydrogen has to be stored and fed in under extremely High Pressure and subzero temperatures. Japan currently has around 100 filling stations in 2 years that number is set to rise to 160 right now there are 3 fuel cell buses on the streets of tokyo but production is being increased. To one think the idea of a Hydrogen Society is not yet that widespread. We want to use the 2020 Olympic Games to change that. Event will be an opportunity to present some new technologies. You know on the most. Of us. Will this need by then for example well have 100 of these Hydrogen Buses in operation in tokyo. Will go to his us and how could i just pull things. The buses carrying the athlete
