Hydrogen - Fuelling our Future? | Clean Energy (HD 1080p)

Climate change, pollution, depleting natural resources… the consequences of global energy production are numerous and of great concern. The situation is critical; it’s time we started producing in a way that meets the growing needs of populations and building the future, all the while preserving the planet. Going forward, what innovations will enable us to be independent tomorrow? What will the energy of the future look like?

Nano research illustrates how flexible batteries and wafer-thin solar cells can revolutionise energy generation. Learn how solar cells work? Will it be possible to make them semitransparent and integrating them directly into windows.

Better production methods, consuming more responsibly, eating healthier… these challenges are a key concern for populations. With an ever-growing awareness, the mass distribution sector is undergoing a huge upheaval and innovations are emerging that advocate a more sustainable and local distribution chain. Purchasing goods is no trivial act, and we must learn to shop differently. So, how will be shopping in the future? What inventions will enable us to produce, buy or even eat differently?

How much oil is left - and what happens when the world’s most important energy source becomes harder, riskier and more expensive to extract? This compelling energy documentary investigates the global dependence on crude oil, the theory of peak oil and the environmental dangers of deep-sea drilling. Beginning with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, it examines how technological failures, financial pressure and difficult drilling conditions contributed to one of the worst oil spills in history. Travel from oil fields in Austria and Saudi Arabia to research centres in Europe, Canadian oil sands and offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists, geologists, engineers and industry experts reveal how oil is formed, how new reserves are discovered and why many of the world’s largest oil fields may be declining. The documentary also explores enhanced oil recovery, horizontal drilling, water injection, polymer technology, Arctic exploration and the enormous financial and environmental costs of extracting unconventional oil. It investigates the use of chemical dispersants during the Deepwater Horizon cleanup and questions their impact on marine ecosystems and human

On Nov. 4, Americans elect Barack Obama, a president who campaigned on global warming and the urgent need to act. Immediately, his administration sets up the "Green New Deal," a huge green energy initiative. America, the world's largest consumer of energy, is the worst polluter in the world... so does that mean they now are entering a new era? Sales of hybrid cars take off, wind farms and solar panels flourish throughout the country. Nike, Lewis, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Walmart: all large U.S. companies communicate their desire to reduce their "carbon footprint". Has America become green? This film investigates on the "Greening" of the USA. Original title: In green we trust Documentary from 2009

Why does the universe even bother existing? Why is earth so unique? Why are we here? The scientific explanation of our surroundings and of our origins is probably one of the main achievements of our times. We can trace back our history up until the very first nanoseconds of the Big Bang! It is the same adventure that has started with the expansion of the universe and gave us birth: we descend from apes and bacteria but also from comets and galaxies: we literary originate from stardust! The movie is articulated around the three enigmas of origins: the vertiginous emergence of our universe, the very unlikely apparition of life and the extremely lucky origins of humankind. Each moment of this fascinating story will be told by a famous scientist specialized on the origins of the world that is around us: Pascal Picq, Hubert Reeves, Sylvie Vauclair and Jim Peebles. We will investigate in scientific sites related to each of these enigmas: we will go up to the Peak du Midi – the highest observatory in Europe; we will search the
