00:00:00so where we are right now, there is no battery chemistry
00:00:02in any lab in the world that will give us the
00:00:05energy that we need to take of hundreds of passengers long hall
00:00:09over the Atlantic, we know that that's the case. I really, really believe in
00:00:13this technology, I'm passionate about decarbonizing air
00:00:17travel, it's an enormous
00:00:19challenge,
00:00:23while long about 12% of average household's emissions of
00:00:27in nearly things like electricity. driving and
00:00:31heating: for family of four, a typical flight across
00:00:35Europe, return would add around another $4.4 tons
00:00:38and splashing out a family trip across the
00:00:42Atlantic would more than double your entire emissions across the
00:00:45year.
00:00:49Clearly, getting carbon out of flying is one
00:00:51of the toughest challenges. Current projections estimate the
00:00:55demand for air passenger journeys in 2050 could exceed
00:00:5910 billion. "but the aviation industry has a
00:01:02plan, and they claim they can take one
00:01:05of the most gas-guzzling industries in the world to net zero
00:01:09by 2050, but is that really
00:01:12possible or are the days of cheap
00:01:16flights
00:01:17numbered?
00:01:23the expansion
00:01:24of the airline industry by the low-cost airlines has helped millions
00:01:28more people travel further and..." and faster than ever
00:01:31before, they are more popular than ever, but what
00:01:35does that mean for how at the airport? this local
00:01:39bus service run powered by petrol or diesel, it runs
00:01:42entirely on
00:01:43high,
00:01:47each every part
00:01:48of the world, the industry's growth came about from
00:01:52a more low-cost airlines in Europe, china and
00:01:55the
00:01:59hello.
00:02:03'onto the runway, this truck is now powered entirely
00:02:07by port equipment is now powered by
00:02:11electricity,
00:02:22the emissions produced at the end, so what is the carbon footprint of
00:02:26of the airport and how was it that we control directly so' energy and
00:02:30fuel that we fuel that we use that happen as
00:02:32a result of being here, so the flights and the trans, it gives us
00:02:36about 4% fuel saving for every flight continues to
00:02:40upgrade its fleet with these new efficient planes, but same pattern
00:02:44as airlines around the world, on the one
00:02:47hand, so despite
00:02:51net zero, which many governments support, easy jet
00:02:55supports airport, expanding airports and having more flights, should
00:02:58we, well we're not, "We're not trying to reduce the amount that
00:03:02people fly because we know the benefits from flying, but what we're trying to
00:03:05do is to reduce the emissions intensity for you as an
00:03:09individual passenger, your carbon footprint if you like, and so there's
00:03:13nothing wrong with an airline growing provided that they're following
00:03:17pathway where each passenger is reducing their 50% more
00:03:20flights worldwide by 2050, global net
00:03:24zero targets,
00:03:28industry body that represents air. and airports, the
00:03:31av is that the whole industry is behind it, that's important because we need every part
00:03:35of the... mean, surely if the airline industry was serious about tackling
00:03:39climating, just 67 kilograms of co2 for the
00:03:43return, it's around 5
00:03:47hours, it is quite cheap in comparison, just
00:03:50112, it cost just 12
00:03:54quid a whopping 600 kilograms
00:03:58of co2 for the return there's not much in it for cost
00:04:01depending on how many people travel, but looking at the carbon
00:04:05emissions, flying is 10 times more than taking with statistics like
00:04:09that, no wonder the race is to
00:04:11create.
00:04:16different way of flying, isn't it? yeah, absolutely. it feels so
00:04:20calm, it's a great airplane and it's so quiet,
00:04:24have like some double a batteries in the boots, yeah pretty
00:04:26much uh, they have approximately 2
00:04:30kilowatts
00:04:46rather than years
00:04:46away.
00:04:56This plane is electric, but the power doesn't come from a lit.
00:05:00generated by hydrogen gas
00:05:01in a fuel cell the next two to three years
00:05:05and some
00:05:07of the general
00:05:11physics of flight means whatever fuel you use, you are going to need a
00:05:14huge bang for your buck. you are powering a massive
00:05:18aircraft down a runway with enough speed to get it into
00:05:22the air, and if you propeller is definitely the way to
00:05:26go. easyjet has teamed up with
00:05:30Rolls-Royce a prototype. so what you're looking at is the
00:05:34engine that we used to today and we didn't do very much to
00:05:38the engine to convert it to a jet engine. so what's the
00:05:42advanced? of using hydrogen
