aviation innovation. this week, lara looks at the elemental solution to cleaning up carbon emissions from aircraft. we travel to the remote faroe islands to look at the latest ways to harness tidal energy. it s sort of like kitesurfing, but on the water. if it moves, it s a controller paul s en route towards more accessible games. if ijust raise my eyebrows, i m making the carjump. and we look at how generative technology could revolutionise the moviegoing experience. it can make approximately 52 quintillion versions of the film. about 100,000 flights jet around the world every day. flying accounts for 2.5% of all carbon emissions. now, that might not sound like much, but if aviation was a country, it would be among the top ten most polluting nations in the world, and its impact is expected to rise. now, there s a global race to get clean aviation off the ground. and some companies think they re close to cracking it. pretty soon, passengers will be flying in zero emission a
of the film. about 100,000 flights jet around the world every day. flying accounts for 2.5% of all carbon emissions. now, that might not sound like much, but if aviation was a country, it would be among the top ten most polluting nations in the world, and its impact is expected to rise. now there s a global race to get clean aviation off the ground. and some companies think they re close to cracking it. pretty soon, passengers will be flying in zero emission aircraft. but how did we get here? archive: the new machine is called, optimistically, - the flyer. we ve come a long way since the wright brothers first flight in 1903. that day, they lifted the world into a new dimension. then we achieved bigger, faster planes. great, but that s also how we ended up with all these emissions. jet engines burn kerosene, which releases carbon dioxide, one of the main greenhouse gases causing climate change. the industry faces an enormous challenge to clean up its act, and that means comin
Thats so much larger, so were opening up a market that didnt even exist before. If all goes to plan, there could be arrays of Subsea Kites around the faroe islands, installed in groups similar to wind farms. So this machine here, thats the first utility, or the array device. There will be many of these in parks, orarrays, as you call them, uh, around the world. The faroes arent connected to any other Countrys Power grid, so it has to be self sufficient. And in the past, it relied heavily on oil imports. Now, though, its going fully green, and this Battery Station helps to regulate electricity supply. We have the biggest battery, i think, in the danish kingdom. We dont have any subsea cables to neighbouring countries. So we need to maintain the stability of the Power System at all points in time on a millisecond level. Much of the Countrys Power will come from wind, hydro and solar,

Much of the Countrys Power will come from wind, hydro and solar, but thats also where its experiment with Tidal Energy comes in. Its predictable. We know exactly when its there, 100 years ahead. If we install tidal turbines
it s a relatively small and new industry, so very few machines in the water, and then you have to compete with wind farms and solar pv, etc. we re now addressing a resource that s so much larger, so we re opening up a market that didn t even exist before. if all goes to plan, there could be arrays of subsea kites around the faroe islands, installed in groups similar to wind farms. so this machine here, that s the first utility, or the array device. there will be many of these in parks, orarrays, as you call them, uh, around the world. the faroes aren t connected to any other country s power grid, so it has to be self sufficient. and in the past, it relied heavily on oil imports. now, though, it s going fully green, and this battery station helps to regulate electricity supply. we have the biggest battery, i think, in the danish kingdom. we don t have any subsea cables to neighbouring countries. so we need to maintain
