the news breaks people having to make all breaking decisions on whether to leave behind their homes and loved ones when people need to be heard. and the story told that even the home we hope to return one day with exclusively to be use. an in depth reports al jazeera has teens on the ground. president biden need to contain fuel prices with way to bring you more award winning documentaries and live nice lou. still georgia there with me. so robin into our reminder of all top news stories, hundreds of protest is in baghdad has stolen the rocky parliament for a 2nd time. this week. that protesting against the nomination of mohammed shall sit on the as prime minister. 2 guns has been fired at crowds outside the heavily

fortified green zone. dozens of injuries have been reported. saturday's session, which stood on his nomination was expected to be formally announced, has been cancelled. joseph jibari has more from inside the parliament in bagdad. if you can see, i mean right now, this is inside the parliament building where we've seen the demonstrators move in a few minutes ago a half hour. it is now filled with others, support your inside the parliament. this is where they say they will say until their demands are met and they are really taking a break very, very difficult. so we'd have to walk about 4 kilometers to reach just building with the demonstrators since they broke part of the barrier wall that separates the green zone from the rest. the fact that there's been a poster mulky people very upset with him. they want,

they don't want him involved in any kind of a future government. the southern supporters say they are, he also supports their leader, other other withdrew from the political to fear a few weeks ago, saying that he will not take part in any corrupt processes. the government also is m p 's parliament due to the same 73 and also left their position very much a country in limbo and politically both which we've seen in the past year. certainly not anything, but what is different this time around that iraq is that these people, these demonstrators have the support and backing of one of the most powerful leaders in the country. not only political federal southern the whole, the city of no job comes from a very well known, powerful clerical family. and that is why these people follow him will continue to

follow through that. i'll be back with more news on that in the news. our next, it's thrice to stay with us here on out there are ah ah, for in the middle of the biggest energy transition since the industrial revolution . the coping 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. climate change as a care what the market is, think the science will that still say we must harp global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 if we're 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 la kits who have 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 it's warming the planet with devastating impact for life on earth. while renewable energy for wind, sun, and sea cheaper than ever, with intermittent it's difficult to store for

a few of the future is emerging, which could prove fundamental to d carbon noise in the global economy. i've come to the orkney islands of the north coast of the u. k, where a network of sizes and researches 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 per cent hydrogen, mainly occurring as gas. but on earth, most hydrogen is contained in water. is the h in h 20. after it's 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 that's 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 tidal turbines. it could be a game changer, a meeting a del liddy deal, who's a hydrogen project manager and was brought up on orkney. just letting an island we have this sense of self sufficiency. we need to do thanks for our fail to practice . we are armed and that really gets us brazilian, as an island. mean we come to shop and say when a board, these 13 inhabited islands to see how they produce hydrogen. it's kind of a juxtaposition of small, quiet island for quite a high 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. i'm no scientists, but i could see on that the same it says in explosive, compress gas. and what is actually happening behind this?

this spreads what's going on in these boxes. so if a working energy production site, which is why we're founding our site, what's 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 at use of energy from the wind turbine. it splits the h 2 o 4 and to hydrogen and oxygen. recapture the hydrogen for use for energy and oxygen at the moment. i just ran it up here. so your re diverting? yes. that wind energy into hydro dot right? yeah. as storing and storing high it's transported by trailer and used all over orkney, some in domestic heating,

but mostly in commercial vehicles. and fairies in the trailers, the hydrogen stored under pressure at a $184.00 times its original density. that's 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 that's when you want to store a lot of energy over months. so we know that in the u. k. during the winter, it's very blue. it's very windy. if we go to a wind turbine based energy system, we're 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 don't have any wind blowing and, but we're 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's 20 know what? it shows me, how to produce hydrogen with many electrolytes. so we just wait a moment, we're going to generate some hydrogen. we're going to build up an electric current passing through the water forms hydrogen bubble number, some gas storage here that we didn't have before. so now i'm going to take my cable round here and you can see now that the gases are flowing into fuel cell. and then that's going to allow us to p with the fargo that is absolutely better catch the principal to pose the fuel cell in james is toy car is the same when scaled up to power a fleet fight council back on the island. well, completely silent, completely silent. wow. you can sometimes hear the compressor from the hydrogen when it's when it kicks in. it, you know, here we, well,

that's all you know here. david hannon is working with the council to expand its use of hydrogen technology. so for a long time, we're talking about electric vehicles as being the future of, of green transportation. what do you get a hydrogen per vehicle that you wouldn't get of an electric vehicle? this is also about 3 runs off the battery. but then the hydrogen is yours to extend the range on it. so if you're either traveling long distances, you can potentially double lot range and is another advantage. it's quick to fuel with electrons battery, you might take from half an r t. it are the charger battery, whereas this is pretty much instantaneous. you know, talking couple of minutes normally we'd expect to see an exhaust pick that the back of eventually this. yeah. and you can see there's no source here. i mean same as any over electric vehicle. obviously we've got hydrogen, but then the sort of emissions off out is water. paper is what's available here.

yeah. right. wow. alright, really, thank you. with with me it's great to hear house seems to be growing all the time. and there's that awareness of the importance of this kind of network or this ecology of energy. when you live in an archipelago, another important form of transport is very nice. very company operates $74.00 different connections and there are more than $20000.00 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 the plan to clean up the migration and they all happened below deck. okay, i have no idea what we get into it. here we go. oh wow. oh the shit out what we looking at him. these so it does

contain the site. that's the 20 the fuel. what are you using? the hydrogen? hydrogen i still want to address system will run on a regular engine light steering safety systems and the lights and everything. and so when in the future, hydrogen will be used to drive all ships, operations including propulsion within 2 years. that will be stopping. i'll be on the small scale shipping steps 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. it's happening here at the orkney research and innovation campus. one of the most important projects in aviation.

in a normal year, nearly $14000000.00 lights worldwide result and heavy c o 2 emissions search for an alternative fuel. his urgent one company collaborating with scientists in orkney is 0 avia. i contact director of surrogate kids a live. i'm 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 his lead for delivering the baby. the full g was or sorry, and then the so excited at the same time. i know that you guys are planning to fly here with one of your hydrogen po, playing ah, the final slide down for follow. hi, fire one project. we'll be taking place from pork you there or can you, he's famous for it's the hydrogen. can you give us a time scale of when you think that we will see passenger planes in the sky running

on hydrogen? of course there the technology is in its infancy, but i personally believe that in about 15 to 20 years, there will be a lot of debts. why using being hydrogen. and this is truly exciting. so if we can arise to the challenges of our energy economy or future transportation needs, it means embracing a range of solutions. and i think what they're doing here in orkney is proving that green hydrogen can be pot. the answer green hydrogen is beginning to take up. it's a key part of the ease plans become the world's 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 it's one of a number of current trends that harold a welds free. a fossil fuels is definitely a new power system and

a new energy system emerge out 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. it's also a nerve wracking moment because we know that if we don't 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 different 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 howard to every single home on this planet . we currently have 800000000 people who do not have access to power. meaning they're 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.

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 humankind, 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 movie streaming and shopping. we are now more reliant than ever on platforms which generates and store data. but this data doesn't just vanish into thin air. it comes at a very real environmental cost. everything we do online passes through data centers which consume huge amounts of entity and emit nearly as much c o 2 as the airline industry. i'm in no way to see how one center is harnessing the energy of these fields 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 i'm 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 you're asking, i haven't been thinking about it. no, i have no idea. i send it to zillow, i guess, in the cloud, in the cloud. and you know what the cloud is. ready of a storage place like myself, most people only have vague ideas of where all our data is kept. i've come to university of savannah to meet an expert on data storage and find out where our sophie's end up the photo is. so ruby saw in the memory of their phone and then if you'll share the photo or you want to back up the photo into the cloud, it will end up in some data center remotely could be in europe. it could be also in a remote sign 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, it 19 pandemic for you here for the city. so live our online happy to 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 doesn't 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 remote 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 store your data can make all the difference. and no way is ahead of the game on this, since it's powered nearly a 100 percent by renewable energy, most of which comes from hydro power. i'm on my way to lancaster and island near savannah. i've heard they have an old military storage, but instead of storing 2 p 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. it's run on hydro power from water rest of us on the mountains. so 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 know we're 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 don't hear it could be anything from storage or pictures to national critical infrastructure if you'd 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 it's black and it's noisy, it's black and it's noisy, and it consumes a lot of power and generates a lot of heat to see how the center manager says it's a quick write down the corridor. oh, we're 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. at the city of a 1000000 people, every click you do on your device, generates activity inside a data central summer. if it's 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 near by deep salt water inlet of yours. so whilst most data centers use around 40 percent of their energy to cool servers, which would otherwise reach a 100 degrees celsius in minutes, this data center get its cooling free from nature. so this is where we're producing the cold water used to cool the claudius. i am on cold sea water from the fuel into the base. and 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 warmed 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 they've repurposed an old site. but all over scandinavia tech giants like facebook, google and microsoft are building huge data centers running on hydro and wind power . in fact, investment in nordic data centers is set to double by 2025. i do our yes, the vote fully electric. i'm meeting siri. kelvin, a local materiality in green investor who's confident this trend will continue to this is where the hydro power is. yes, the over the flu lay a hydro station. it's actually the world's longest $4444.00 steps over a 100 years old. so be careful though i,

i can see that it's old from this old train here. here you see the old pipe coming down from the mountain. so all the water's just flowing high speed in the pi, creating electricity when they hit the turbine. so you have to use what nature gives us. so in norway we have incredible rain or the concrete have sun. yeah, we also have wind, but here it's rain that gives us the electricity. scandinavia will be important to the world's data storage. i think scandinavia will be very important for future data storage. it's 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 e mail, some snaps and text message. we need to send me though we can't 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 expand, we need to find greenway to manage it. here in no way, i've 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 time during the plans that 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 carbon targets by 2050. but right now 21st is the q year. that's 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 the main source of electricity in europe, and a k in australia to the solar panels on rooftops, one in 4 highway the nor was that solar complex and morocco surgeon, it's 1st phase, and it's already producing enough energy to power the city of mara cash twice over a 60 percent of month. because cells in no way are electric, diesel cars will be banned there in 2025. the solutions are already there. they just need to go global to make a real difference. and for us to have that chance at a clean, green and prosperous future.

ah ah ah

ah ah seek them. mm hm. and then international anti corruption excellence award bought now for your hero. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, hello raman, you're watching the al jazeera. these are locked. my headquarters here in bo, i'll coming up in the next 6.
