[00:00:00] so where we are right now, there is no battery chemistry
[00:00:02] in any lab in the world that will give us the
[00:00:05] energy that we need to take of hundreds of passengers long hall
[00:00:09] over the Atlantic, we know that that's the case. I really, really believe in
[00:00:13] this technology, I'm passionate about decarbonizing air
[00:00:17] travel, it's an enormous
[00:00:19] challenge,
[00:00:23] while long about 12% of average household's emissions of
[00:00:27] in nearly things like electricity. driving and
[00:00:31] heating: for family of four, a typical flight across
[00:00:35] Europe, return would add around another $4.4 tons
[00:00:38] and splashing out a family trip across the
[00:00:42] Atlantic would more than double your entire emissions across the
[00:00:45] year.
[00:00:49] Clearly, getting carbon out of flying is one
[00:00:51] of the toughest challenges. Current projections estimate the
[00:00:55] demand for air passenger journeys in 2050 could exceed
[00:00:59] 10 billion. "but the aviation industry has a
[00:01:02] plan, and they claim they can take one
[00:01:05] of the most gas-guzzling industries in the world to net zero
[00:01:09] by 2050, but is that really
[00:01:12] possible or are the days of cheap
[00:01:16] flights
[00:01:17] numbered?
[00:01:23] the expansion
[00:01:24] of the airline industry by the low-cost airlines has helped millions
[00:01:28] more people travel further and..." and faster than ever
[00:01:31] before, they are more popular than ever, but what
[00:01:35] does that mean for how at the airport? this local
[00:01:39] bus service run powered by petrol or diesel, it runs
[00:01:42] entirely on
[00:01:43] high,
[00:01:47] each every part
[00:01:48] of the world, the industry's growth came about from
[00:01:52] a more low-cost airlines in Europe, china and
[00:01:55] the
[00:01:59] hello.
[00:02:03] 'onto the runway, this truck is now powered entirely
[00:02:07] by port equipment is now powered by
[00:02:11] electricity,
[00:02:22] the emissions produced at the end, so what is the carbon footprint of
[00:02:26] of the airport and how was it that we control directly so' energy and
[00:02:30] fuel that we fuel that we use that happen as
[00:02:32] a result of being here, so the flights and the trans, it gives us
[00:02:36] about 4% fuel saving for every flight continues to
[00:02:40] upgrade its fleet with these new efficient planes, but same pattern
[00:02:44] as airlines around the world, on the one
[00:02:47] hand, so despite
[00:02:51] net zero, which many governments support, easy jet
[00:02:55] supports airport, expanding airports and having more flights, should
[00:02:58] we, well we're not, "We're not trying to reduce the amount that
[00:03:02] people fly because we know the benefits from flying, but what we're trying to
[00:03:05] do is to reduce the emissions intensity for you as an
[00:03:09] individual passenger, your carbon footprint if you like, and so there's
[00:03:13] nothing wrong with an airline growing provided that they're following
[00:03:17] pathway where each passenger is reducing their 50% more
[00:03:20] flights worldwide by 2050, global net
[00:03:24] zero targets,
[00:03:28] industry body that represents air. and airports, the
[00:03:31] av is that the whole industry is behind it, that's important because we need every part
[00:03:35] of the... mean, surely if the airline industry was serious about tackling
[00:03:39] climating, just 67 kilograms of co2 for the
[00:03:43] return, it's around 5
[00:03:47] hours, it is quite cheap in comparison, just
[00:03:50] 112, it cost just 12
[00:03:54] quid a whopping 600 kilograms
[00:03:58] of co2 for the return there's not much in it for cost
[00:04:01] depending on how many people travel, but looking at the carbon
[00:04:05] emissions, flying is 10 times more than taking with statistics like
[00:04:09] that, no wonder the race is to
[00:04:11] create.
[00:04:16] different way of flying, isn't it? yeah, absolutely. it feels so
[00:04:20] calm, it's a great airplane and it's so quiet,
[00:04:24] have like some double a batteries in the boots, yeah pretty
[00:04:26] much uh, they have approximately 2
[00:04:30] kilowatts
[00:04:46] rather than years
[00:04:46] away.
[00:04:56] This plane is electric, but the power doesn't come from a lit.
[00:05:00] generated by hydrogen gas
[00:05:01] in a fuel cell the next two to three years
[00:05:05] and some
[00:05:07] of the general
[00:05:11] physics of flight means whatever fuel you use, you are going to need a
[00:05:14] huge bang for your buck. you are powering a massive
[00:05:18] aircraft down a runway with enough speed to get it into
[00:05:22] the air, and if you propeller is definitely the way to
[00:05:26] go. easyjet has teamed up with
[00:05:30] Rolls-Royce a prototype. so what you're looking at is the
[00:05:34] engine that we used to today and we didn't do very much to
[00:05:38] the engine to convert it to a jet engine. so what's the
[00:05:42] advanced? of using hydrogen
