This is it? there you go. it s pretty mind blowing to think that this can support hundreds of tons of concrete and solar panels. that s right. it doesn t seem like it, but it works! it s amazing. these floating systems, they will have to last around about 20 years, more or less. you have a lot of mechanical stress on the platform. so essentially what we tried to do is to design a compound that can have the best of both worlds, so recycled polyethylene and cork. but despite their advantages, it s estimated that currently less than i% of the world s solar installations are floating. this is in part due to cost and being able to position panels at an optimum angle to maximise their output. but already, new tech is being developed that allows a solar farm, like this one in the netherlands, to track the sun throughout the day, rather like a sunflower does. it s claimed that sun tracking installations could increase energy production by a third, and so the future looks bright for solar, where every country,
Fantastic! are you sure?! they laugh here on click, we ve been lucky enough to visit some of the most beautiful parts of the world. yet what goes on beneath the surface in some of these places can serve as the starkest reminder of the effects of pollution and climate change on our world. and sometimes it s also places like here, the fjords of norway, where some of the most inspiring ideas come to life, like this island of floating solar panels. oh, thank you. i ve made it! wow. we re walking on water. i remember you wobbling about on that solar array in the fjord. it was only like a few millimetres thick under your feet, wasn t it? yeah, it was all about the material. it had to be light enough that it could do the job, whilst also being strong enough to be able to withstand any weather conditions. well, fortunately, today s one is much sturdier.
This will clean up at thrice the rate. and then our models show that if we then deploy roughly ten of those systems, we can actually clean up most of the great pacific garbage patch by the end of the decade. so rivers really are the arteries that carry trash from land to sea. so when it rains, plastic washes from streets into creeks, into rivers and then ultimately to the ocean. so we have developed a collection of technologies we call interceptors, which are automated systems that we put in the mouth of rivers and that catches the trash before it reaches the oceans. kind of our flagship tool in our toolkit is what we call the interceptor original, which is this solar powered autonomous robot, essentially, that has these conveyor belts to automatically scoop out the trash. distribute it in dumpsters and then when it s full, you can empty it and essentially keep cleaning. we ve developed these ai powered cameras.
