use of renewable energy on the below reports from laguna province. alfredo as that has been fishing on laguna lake for 5 decades on a good day. he says he can make around $50.00. that's 5 times the minimum wage that will on according to not to children are not working. and this one is met if you don't think so, this late, i was able to pay for their education opportunity to put that on. but the afraid of fears those days will be over soon. the government is set to construct solar panels on the lake largest in the philippines as part of a push to increase the share of renewables to half the countries entire power generation mixed by 2014 officials have cited to study the found an initial installation has become a breeding ground for fish alfredo isn't convinced. no, no, no, no, no. i don't believe we can get near the site. it will be closely guarded. to see it spray basically, our government done. and even if it becomes a bleeding crowd,
2:31 am
if it's special, you won't benefit from the but can you tell me that on the government says that won't be the case. and then be came up with the maybe they're mean they're yeah, we're in the floating finance or the what we call it. now the locks when the place did you go to the so the, the other feature falls are either use or something. they will also have a navigable or advantage for the nissan of the project. but the report released earlier this year by a group of renewable energy advocates raised concerns about how some renewable energy projects, including the one laguna lake, could be affecting livelihoods. storage solar farms are new, but most of them are built on man made reservoirs, laguna lake project. and it's been described as a testing ground for the technology business, because it's of course, large scale solar panel project in the world on a national league as also inactive pushing so and the location of the solar farm
2:32 am
happens to be on the fish rich area of the $91000.00 hector laguna lake. according to the reports authors, the government must do further studies on appropriate technologies where we can harness the potential of this through natural resources, but we will not damage the ecological and social community. the government maintains, however, that the pros outweigh the costs as a solar farm is expected to generate 2 gigawatts of electricity. enough to power 2000000 homes. barnett below l. g 0. the going to the philippines. that's it from me. mean out of the city limits, the news continues here on out to 0 off to us rise the the
2:33 am
midst of how much is happening before the end of the question. why have limits like lead denise, to disclose your mind it's area and really foundation the for in the middle of the biggest energy transition sustan's also revolution the carpet 19. consummate get accelerates. now move away from fossil fuels as price
2:34 am
tags of renewables, particularly solar come down. it is not possible to actually imagine a cub and mutual well to run on clean energy. but there is still a long way to guys climate change this account longer at this time. so about still say we must talk global greenhouse gas emissions by 2013 before to have any height of reach. and that 0 by 2050 unemployed. in the west effects of light, but will make the change one that is happening needs to happen quicker. and this program will be looking at some of the solutions that have a part to play. and that transformation on the all the islands in the u. k. site is to working with one a clean energy is holy grails, green hydrogen, and in no way a comp and mutual data sensor is using the force of nature to power or digital lives. the global demand for energy is increasing, but burning fossil fuels is polluting and it's warming upon it with devastating
2:35 am
impacts for life for a while, renewable energy from when the cheaper than ever into mrs. difficult to store a few of the future is emerging, which could prove fundamental to de carbon icing, the global economy. i've come to new york new islands of the north coast of the u. k, where a network of scientists researches to approving the missing link in the next renewable energy revolution might be found in the simplest and most abundant elements. hydrogen, the universe is about 73 percent hydrogen, mainly occurring as gas. but on earth, most hydrogen is contained in water is b h and h to go 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 what you need, electricity,
2:36 am
when that's produced using fossil fuels, it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. in oregon, be known as the energy islands. scientists have discovered how to produce green hydrogen using renewable power, generated by wind farms, title turbine. it could be a game changer, the meeting idella lydia dale, who is a hydrogen project manager and was brought up for an organ. just let me know if we have this sense of self sufficiency. we need to do things for our sales practice to not communities. we come to shop and say when the board is 13 and habits of the islands to see how they produce, i just kind of a small, quiet island. this turbine is owned by local residents and produces more energy than the local grid can handle. so the excess power is used in the hydrogen production. i'm no scientist,
2:37 am
but i could see on that that, that sign that says m explosive, compress gas. and what is actually happening behind these display. it's what's going on in these boxes. there were for working energy production sites on either side. what's the connection between when that hydrogen, we have the wind turbine going right into your 3 am when it reaches a certain meters per 2nd. we switch the energy production over to produce hydrogen . these metal boxes contain the key piece of machinery and electrolytes that generates hydrogen gas and electric current flows through the electrolyzer causing water to break down into hydrogen and oxygen. hydrogen st collected and compressed so the electrolyzer just takes normal drinking or it's use of the energy from the wind turbine exploits for each to well sure into this hydrogen and oxygen. we talked to the hydrogen for you for energy. and the option of the moment is just right spirit. so you're re diverting that when delta dental hygiene. that's right.
2:38 am
yeah. storing and storing hard it's, it's transported by trailer and used all over organized some domestic heating, but most of the commercial vehicles and ferries, in the trailers the hydrogen is stored under pressure at a 184 times its original density. that's a lot of energy. i'm meeting with james ferguson, a specialist in hydrogen storage. the highly inflammable gas is locked away in compounds and the key sites. yeah. oh wow. oh gosh. so one of the big advantages of hydrogen is that is a, is a kind of option for seasonal energy storage. and that's when we want to store a lot of energy over months. so we know that in the u. k, during the winter, it's very fluid. 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 then we need. and so we can capture that and
2:39 am
store it in the form of hydrogen, and then keep it until the summer when we don't have any wind blowing and, but we still using energy was. so how is hydrogen use as a few where? well, james has a rather not a way of demonstrating this with a toy car that looks about. what's that test? that's about 20 news. so it shows me how to produce hydrogen with many electrolytes . so we just to wait a moment, we're going to generate some type of thing. we're going to get to build up an electric current passing through the water forms. hydrogen bubble is now the some gas storage here that we didn't have before. so now i'm going to take my cables around here and you can see now that the gases are flowing into the fuel cell. and then that is gonna allow us to generate electricity, which makes the cargo. that is absolutely good. yeah. so instead of catching the principal, the pose, the fuel cell in james is toy car is the same when scaled up to power fleet 5,
2:40 am
cancel back. so in the island was completely silent. it's all completely silent. wow. so you can sometimes hear the compressor from the hydrogen when it's when, if it kicks in it, you'll hear me. wow, that's all you'll hear. 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 powered vehicle that you wouldn't get of an electric vehicle? this is also a battery, runs off the battery. but then the hydrogen is yours to basically extend the range on it. so if you're either traveling long distances, you can potentially double wide range and is another advantage. it's quick to review with an electric battery. you might take from half an r t it or the charge of operating, whereas this is pretty much instantaneous. you know, talking couple of minutes. normally we'd expect to see an exhaust stick that the back of a van like this. yeah. and,
2:41 am
and you can see there's no source here and the same as any over electric vehicle. obviously we've got hydrogen, but then the as sort of emissions of thought as water paper is worth a basement here. yeah. right. all right, really thank you. that was presented to me, it's great to hear how it seems to be going all the time. and there's it awareness of the importance of this type of network or this ecology of energy when you live in an archipelago. another important form of transport is very often the fairy company operates 74 different connections and they are more than 20000 sailings each year for the fuel use and shipping by the polluting. david for david hitt, who works with a company create hydrogen is part of this plan to clean up the authoration. and they all happens below that.
2:42 am
i have no idea what we're getting into here, but here we go to the southern desk and t 20 using decided hydrogen is doing the system engine surprises, eating safety systems and the the late in the future. hydrogen used to be stopping state funds in phase powered by green hydrogen just part of the picture in ok. pioneering research into how the fuel could play a global role in transport and beyond. it's happening here at the organ,
2:43 am
the research and innovation campus. one of the most important projects is an aviation, the in a normal year, nearly $14000000.00 sites will weigh each result in heavy c o. 2 emissions searched for an alternative fuel urgent. the one company collaborating with scientist in orkney is 0. i contact direct to surrogate kids who live from is excited about the 1st 15 minute loan hydrogen test flight to is a combination of almost the 3 years of research. and frankly, it was a, it was a zoo for delivering the baby and the phone. she was 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, claim final flight of our 5 fire one project view be
2:44 am
taking place from fortunately that work here is famous for it's the entire region. can you give us a time scale when you think that we will see passenger planes in the skype running on hydrogen? of course the technology is in its infancy, but i personally believe that unit for 15 to 20 years. they will be a lot of jets lines using being 5 isn't. and this is true that exciting the so if we can arise to the challenges of energy economy or future transportation needs, it means embracing a range of solutions. and i think for the doing here, orkney is proving the green hydrogen to be pots the on the green hydrogen is beginning to take off. it's a key part of the ease plans to become the world's best comp and mutual confidence by 2050 new projects of being developed and julie cloud. you're right. yes, united states. yes. the rest of the way to guys before green hydrogen is proven to
2:45 am
be scalable and cost effective, but it is gaining traction. and it's one of a number of current trends that have a wealth free of fossil fuels. there is definitely a new power system and a new energy system em are kind of our eyes. whether we look at power, generation and distribution, or whether we look at transports, there is no doubt that we are in the middle of the most constant windshield transition in the energy space that we have seen in a 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 high emission by 2030, it will be too late to do anything substantial about climate change. this is our last window of opportunity to spend the curve of emissions and get on to
2:46 am
a different and trucks. and doing society would be a society that has a 100 percent clean energy. that energy would be decentralized, cheap, the big clips, and 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 they're in abject poverty. by moving over to a 100 percent clean energy decentralized, we can make energy big, which is, and we can bring those work under the line of poverty over that line. a green society would be an economy that has smart grid that has storage available to all the renewable energy generation. sources would also be society in which there is efficient and clean transport. passenger vehicles would
2:47 am
offer transport as a service, not being a possession of any individual and heavy time would be using clean seals and finally, city would be clean wyatt because the would have put the internal combustion engine into them and cities would be organized into smaller communities around food and enters at the beginning of the most decisive decade in the history of human kind. this was 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 just after supply of change. and in so doing, we can bring a much better quality of life for oil citizens of this planet. and certainly to the
2:48 am
ecosystems upon which we depend. the people across the planet and spending an increasing amount of time online from what meetings and catching up with friends to move it streaming and shopping. we're now more reliant than ever on platforms which generate and store data. but this data doesn't just vanish. interesting as it comes to the very real environmental cost. everything we do online passes through data centers which consume huge amounts of energy and it meant nearly as much c o 2 as the airline industry. i'm in no way to see how one center is honda. think the energy of the fuel with to stole our digital information without a heavy comp and footprints. this is the famous tories detraction and photo hot
2:49 am
spark plug in store and then no way it rolls hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. i'm curious to find out what people know about the data, all these photos generate. so when you take a selfie, it land somewhere, have you ever imagined with that could be i think the 1st time i would imagine is my, when you're asking, i haven't seen the 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? a big storage place. the night myself, most people only have vague ideas of, well without dates as kit. i've come to university of savannah to meet an expert on data storage and find out where our associates end up to the photo itself. we just saw in the memory of the phone. and then if you share the photo or you want to back
2:50 am
up the photo into the cloth, it will end up in some data center remotely could be in europe. it could be also in a remote size across the atlantic at both. so you probably have accumulated in those data center and add those wall ele, uh for us, for have a pick up, pick the data center. so the, there are problem for sustainability. how long? how much data would be, have to spoil them? in recent years, many of us have been moving into the digital realm and even more so under the curve at 19 pandemic year for the city. so i went 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 energy as to do meeting a 60 watt light bulbs. so 17 seconds. that doesn't sound like much until you realize google. a loan process is 3500000000 searches
2:51 am
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 is that what they to network grows. almost 7 percent of all electricity will be use just to power and to huge service per serving everything from 1000000000. so family photos to pick data on space travel. so where and how you store your data can make all the difference. and no way is the head of the game on this, since it's powered nearly a 100 percent by renewable energy, most of which comes from hydro power. i am on my way to venice or an island he asked about not. i've had to have an old military storage, but instead of storing to p, those will hits, they now stole billions of bites of information from over the world. the underground green mountain data center which opened in 2013 is comp and neutral is
2:52 am
run on hydropower from water rest of us on the mountains. so question nice to meet you. nice to meet you as well the oh wow. this is like being in a james film, but i can see that this is very secure. this is very secure. wow, thank you. so this is how it looked. when we took over the, decides 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 servers,
2:53 am
storage equipment. so what kind of information is still in here? it could be anything from storage of pictures to national critical infrastructure. it could be kids at home doing dialect are online. so many people when they think about the clowns, they think out in the open as i think white and fluffy. but actually the cloud is ms. talbot and it and it's noisy, it's black and it's noisy, and it comes to a lot of car and generates a lot of heat to see how the center manager says it's a quick write down the corey. oh, the where the end if use wrote, this is work for the green energy flows through into the data. so this is basically the drive in june of this data center,
2:54 am
the consumption in this data center with all the different data holes that consumes the power equal to about 20000 households. while this may seem a lot, some of the biggest data centers consume as much power as a city of a 1000000 people. every place you do on your device generates activity inside the data central summer. if it's in norway, it's green and renewable as well. so when you're using green energy, this data center is reducing its impact on the environment by cooling it service, using cold water from the nearby, deep, thoughtful to inlet of the old. so was most data centers use around 40 percent of the energy to cool service which would otherwise reach a 100 degrees celsius in minutes. this data center gets its cooling free from nature. so this is wherever code using the cold water used to cool the cloud inside. and most cold sea voted
2:55 am
from the fuel with anticipation next to the data center. this will say which is constantly 8 degrees celsius, is then pumped up through the heat. exchanger cooling, found separate water pipes that circulate through the day to fit into the wound up symbol to the exits back into the field at around 20 degrees celsius with quickly close down again to 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 old over scandinavia, tech giants like facebook, google, and microsoft building huge data centers running on hydro and wind power. in fact, investments, and notice data centers is set to double by 2025. thank you. all work is the phone fully electric. i'm meeting see re kelby a local matri ologist in green and vista who's confident this trend will continue.
2:56 am
so this is where the hyper power is. yes, the or the flow on a hyper station. it's actually the world's longest $4444.00 steps over a 100 years old. so be careful. so i can see that it's old from this old train here . here you see the, the old pipe coming down from the mountains. so all the was those just slowing high speeds in the pi, creating electricity when it hits the turbine. so you have to use what nature gives you. so in norway we have incredible rain or the country it has sun then. yeah, we also have wind, but here it's rain that gives us the electricity. scandinavia will be important to the welds data storage. i think scandinavia will be very important for future data storage. it's a cold climate. you can use the cold for your to,
2:57 am
to quoted on the data center. we have the hydro power to run data centers. however, i think we also need to be even more responsible to take action each one of us. and for instance, if we're talking on both data storage, we need to be concerned about how many solid fees we need to take home many emails on snaps and text message, we need to send so we can 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 world's population is already online, and around $1000000.00 new uses sign up each day. as our reliance some data expands, we need to find green ways 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've balance our modern lives with what because china can sustain the which so many of us stuck
2:58 am
at home during the times that make it supreme perhaps hard to see that the world really has been given a golden opportunity for creating recovery commitments are happening all over the place as nations businesses, cities, investors connection that 0 kaufman's hall gets by 2050. but right now 25. she's the key. yeah. that's just on to a tech, to determine the feature of the planets around the world who already seemed glimpse as the green society, the could be hours, you know, stare, renewables. i would say fossil fuels as a main source of electricity in europe. a new case in australia is, is a solar panels on rooftops, one in full hines, the nor was of that solar complex of moral codes. so, i mean, it's fast phase and it's already producing enough energy to power. the city of mara cash twice that 60 percent of monthly cost cells in no way. oh electric diesel costs will be banned. veterans punched twin size. the solutions are full ready that
2:59 am
they just need to go global to make a real difference for us to have that jones that exceed green and prosperous speak . sure. the record numbers of chinese asylum seekers are traveling to the us. that's double many take a dangerous route through life in america. a gang of people points that have done it in the past of a 2 part investigation. one. 0, one east meets the chinese, my friends risk and you know, the american dream on out to 0. the,
3:00 am
there's no limit to how far a dream continue to study in your own adventure now counter. and we the in northern gaza. is there any forces? aiken fire on the bed, the functioning tomorrow. odd one hospital off the surrounding. the facility with the drains on time, the hello, i mean out of a city to reach this is out of their life from day also coming up us as strikes hips, humans, capital on ours, off the heating this house talking to tennessee.
