Basic Science Changes the World “Element Symbol H [Part 1]” (Aired on July 4, 2021) What will the future of humanity look like in 2050? A crisis facing human civilization! In order to respond to climate change, the world has begun the great challenge of carbon neutrality. In particular, Korea, which has a high proportion of fossil fuels, must quickly achieve a great transformation of energy without carbon emissions. Accordingly, scientists are now paying attention to hydrogen energy. Element Symbol H. Can hydrogen become a new energy source that can erase the carbon footprint and save the future of humanity? ▶ The rules of the game are changing “The Earth enriches life, but it also has the ability to completely exterminate life.” The warning that the Earth sends us is not only a matter of temperature, but also a matter of speed. If the average temperature of the Earth rises by more than 2 degrees, we may face an irreversible situation. The greenhouse gases emitted by humans in one year are approximately 52.8 billion tons. The EU has even announced that it will promote a ‘carbon border tax’ starting in 2023. The rules of the game are changing. Now we must say goodbye to the carbon civilization and begin the energy transition. ▶ Wind, becoming hydrogen Jeju Island dreams of becoming a carbon-free island. But! Sometimes, wind turbines are found standing still. This means that the amount of wind is not constant, so there are times when output must be limited. To overcome this intermittent energy uncertainty, a new challenge has begun. That is, creating and storing hydrogen using wind energy! ▶ The hydrogen era! Stories from Earth's leading scientists "Isn't it great to be a representative of the Earth? We just need to think of ourselves as representatives of the Earth and contribute." Hydrogen, a new energy source that has suddenly gained attention. However, there are scientists who have been quietly devoting their efforts to hydrogen research since before anyone knew the value of hydrogen. Thanks to them who have spent their hard times for the future of mankind, we have quickly entered the hydrogen ecosystem. We have developed a world-class water electrolysis device, created a fuel cell with the world's largest market share, and even transported hydrogen using ammonia! Our technological prowess that leads the world in the production, storage, utilization, and transportation of hydrogen. Meet the stories of the scientists behind it. #HydrogenCar #HydrogenFuelCell #HydrogenEconomy ✔KBS Documentary KBS Official YouTube Channel [KBS Documentary] 🔔Subscribe👍Like➡️ / @kbsdocumentary 📝Contact: [email protected] ©️ KBS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ∙The current situation and content may differ slightly depending on the time of broadcast. ∙Defamatory and malicious comments may be deleted by the operator to protect the cast.
