subsidized green hydrogen costs more than great hydrogen, so there's no economic incentive for it. why would a market driven company use green hydrogen? but it just costs some money and their customers won't pay for it. and so subsidies are central guide and both the german government and the you agreed that they will be in the building in the since in the yard. making industrial facilities more eco friendly cost. a lot of money at this power plant green hydrogen, could soon replace natural gas and german energy multinational w e plans to build one of the world's biggest hydrogen production plants on this field. green hydrogen is opening up entirely new business opportunities of rustling smoke. that's what we help that we already have low cavern, storage facilities in our portfolio, in which we can temporarily store the large amounts of hydrogen comment generated

using wind out and then be able to take that stored hydrogen and make it available to all those industries. and gas power plants that are switching to stellan done, all of these are stored energy efficient. despite up the energy coordinated tim hoffman says it's important to implement green hydrogen quickly. that way, the existing natural gas pipeline system can be used for distribution, allowing the hydrogen to be transported to every corner of the country. the thing is, i believe that green hydrogen will be indispensible in many sectors, which is why it should have been invested in years ago. but it's only now that the course has been set. the 1st green hydrogen plans in ems lunch should be up and running. next year one good thing about this pandemic for the planet has been the fact that most of us have been locked up at home, denied any real sort of travel,

no exotic holidays. beach time for me, i've been locked up here in the studio. an economic catastrophe because one in 10 jobs around the world are in tourism. and officials reckoned the sect won't pick up properly again until 2023. and what they could do in the meantime is trying to clean up the business. choosing to fly comes at a high price in terms of emissions. airlines say we might soon change that with 0 emission hydrogen powered aircraft. but is that realistic? the remember when flying was fun and adventure for free spirits and jet set. feelin. look at all the fossil fuel that has to be burned to get you fly high flying, fastest way into the climate crisis. how do you but there's hope and innovative ideas. the industry is trying to reduce its carbon

footprint. ah, there are many, many reasons to believe in hydrogen. whenever flight soon be eco friendly. what's behind the green hydrogen hype? more than 20000 planes when operation around the world before condemning. carrying over 4500000000 passengers in 2019. most of them were frequent flyers on domestic flights in the us and china, and they accounted for about a quarter of all of the ation emissions. a problem with a very, very tiny minority of the world take the huge share of the emissions, while 80 percent has never direct c o. 2 emissions from the asian accounted for at least 2 percent of global emissions in 2019 doesn't sound like much. unfortunately, it's the most energy intestines activity that human beings can buy. and

while you can get an electric car or swap, meet for veggies, there isn't really a viable eco friendly alternative to long distance and travel yet. how did we get into this? let's go back to where it all began. the world humans innovation treble. i've been very exciting. you know, a promise of a world that is increasingly connected with jet said activity. flying was so exclusive because it was very expensive. airplane shows by limousine. as an ordinary u. s. domestic round trip costs around $600.00 back in the 19 seventy's whopping $4000.00 in today's money. but then the market was the regulators, low cost carriers emerged and growth became target number one. for this year alone,

a 100000000 people in asia. why for the 1st time and evolved from the privilege of a few into its service for many or markets. this is a population that it has a fly for travel, the ones that freedom from new ports to new markets to sky was the limits for the aviation industry until 2021. the corona barrels hit the grounding most of the world's aircraft, but the industry is expected to bounce back soon. we think that we will see a return to pre cobit levels of traffic by the end of 2024. okay, so people want to fly and will fly, but does it have to involve blasting fossil fuel emissions into the air? perhaps not, and the industry has been quite creative in proposing alternatives. i think i can at least 121314 different technologies that have been proposed over time.

fungus, professor for tourism in transport and sweden focused on the ation since the beginning of his academic career. i think we heard everything in replacing aircraft that was in the ninety's completely new and for models like this one blended learning technology to save kerosene, sola ah, glendale fuels, the so called biofuels. we're older age does l and company k. lemme for example, pride itself on using them. the great thing about biofuels is that we can make them using algy, sugar cane seeds. we don't even from cooking oil. why a fuel is great for c o 2, but there isn't enough of it around. that's why kayla is getting everyone together to produce biofuel on a large scale. carolyn is a leading airline in biofuel,

but k limbs, actual share of biofuels, was only 0.18 percent of their total fuel consumption in 2019. in the end, they were sued from its leading marketing or recently type about electric aircraft . and we were convinced that the electrical revolution would happen in aerospace as well. so we launched a fully electric powered aircraft, which we called the sand one project that was canceled the year before it was scheduled to make its 1st flight well, as i did earlier, one measure of progress and that is emissions going down. and we haven't seen that yet. now, hydrogen supposed to safe to planet. ah, our belief in what hydrogen represents is most pivotal. why they say hydrogen has at least 3 striking features. number one, it's a versatile energy carrier and can power aircraft with high energy demand. where

batteries would be no alternative, ah, hydrogen can be made using renewable energy, meaning the production can be environmentally friendly. this so called green hydrogen is what they want. ok, what we're talking about here is really powering a v agent with renewable energy. it does not pollute hydrogen when it's new. c o 2 and almost no air pollution, which of course is the biggest plus. okay. sounds great. but the and 2035 ambitious deadline we set off to come in service with green aircraft, the green, $65.00 commercial aircraft, 2035. why? so late? the core challenges are to really build an aircraft that can safely run on hydrogen biggest storage. and the whole new design will be needed before hydrogen plans can take off. and the infrastructure for hydrogen needs to be developed from planes to

refueling, to production, building up a coherent hydrogen system takes time and cost a lot of money. and finally, there's simply not enough green hydrogen available yet to share of renewables worldwide is still too low to produce enough eco friendly hydrogen for the industry right now. di didn't we use is almost entirely made from natural gas and cult. oh, and of course, it's all just a promise and promises has been broken. by the time that does work, it may be too late. the problem with hydrogen is that it doesn't work. yes. well, it's simply not fair yet. despite industry assurances, we are seeing everything. we can 3 different c o 2 and work towards a deal with scientists like stuff, i'm guessing, remain skeptical. well,

after 24, i think i'm entitled to an opinion. so to tell you where i don't, i don't think the sex or any invest in everything we've seen in terms of discussion. proposals has always just been proposition for the future. as long as the ation industry's business model is based on fossil fuels and growth emissions will continue to rise. that's why activist and scientists are calling for strict regulation. we need governance to, to address this problem. if you leave it to the alliance, i'm very skeptical. we will see a solution. so back to our original question with our flight small vehicle friendly put simply, no, they won't. hydrogen will need more time to reach its potential. but we can help reduce emissions now by making choices about how we travel and traveling less whenever possible. because technology alone will not be able to save our planets.

only we can do that ah, in hydrogen clean fuel that the future or just a lot of hot air. thanks for joining us for another episode of the w's in depth is the show made you against the news
