So, as I understand it: Orkney, makes too much electricity from renewables. after the entire Islands electricity needs are met, they try and export the rest. Except they've run into a limit with exporting. So they're using all the electricity they can, and they're exporting all they can, and they still have some left over. So they're using electrolysis to create hydrogen, which, whilst not an efficient way to do it, it's carbon neutral and you're using what would be wasted electricity anyway. They're then storing that hydrogen to be transported to be used in a Fuel cell which can be used to power auxilliary power for docked Ferries, whilst they work out the logistics and training to get the ferries powered completely by hydrogen. goddamn Orkney is pretty awesome.
Let's all move there then and see how awesome it remains. The vast majority of people live in cities, cities have lots of tower blocks and tall buildings squeezing in as many people as possible. Electricity is expensive in the city, we can't just put up a solar panel and fix the cost of running our kettles and cars. So I will be amazed when I see a city like London finally get it's head out its ass and come up with a solution to provide people living in the city with a reasonable cost electricity system that works cos all I see is ever increasing prices for less electricity being supplied. That truck looked diesel, which seemed a bit strange considering it was transporting hydrogen for ships. But overall they are doing a good thing, much of which was put forward back when the bbc had a science board, put forward by people on the science board by the way.
flitsies don't see the forest for the trees, else we will just endlessly trip over the smallest obstacles and never get anywhere. Too many times we let our frustrations kill our premature solutions.
Do you have a 4k monitor? If not you can't say that. RUclips compress 1080p WAY more than it does 4k, so 1080p looks pretty freaking terrible on 4k monitors. Upgrade to 4k, then you'll see why we all beg for it. Four times the resolution!

1440p is the sweet spot. Doesn't look bad stretched to 4k or squished down to 1080p and is a lot less pixels to sling.
Actually, shooting in 4k makes it so that the 1080p version on youtube is better quality aswell. While 4k on youtube is massively downgraded, its still more data per frame which makes it to the 1080p...
I must say Mr. Llewellyn, the quality of your channel is excellent, bbc quality. I have been continually impressed with all of your content and have given me hope for the future! Bravo sir. Btw really looking forward to the new series of Red Dwarf too!
I must say, Fully Charged is probably the most brilliantly put together, interesting, educational and enjoyable show in my subscriptions! Fantastic work, Robert & Co!
I've been watching the videos for a year and now felt after seeing that the a wee patreon donation is super value. Showing growth of communities and possibilities with an eye on the future of sustainability. I hope more Irish can see this it's only up the road sure. Thank you Robert and your team.
Allright, you got me. I give up. Heading over right now to Patreon to support you and to thank you for this and all the other magnificent and informative videos that you create. Greetings from Germany!
I so admire the long range and incremental thinking that is featured in this episode. Where I live the only thing that enters the calculus for renewables (if/when renewables are considered) is the immediate cost difference and payback which never considers the insidious non-renewable subsidies and harm the non-renewables do. Wonderful episode.
Such a nice episode, not only do I want to move to Orkney your episodes are very entertaining, informing and always mood lifting. To see that there are people around the world working on new ways to help and improve our life is very uplifting!!! Keep up this great positive work!
Absolutely fascinating to see the future unfold in a positive way for a change, keep up the good work reporting it in your inimitable style Mr Llewellyn.
I've subscribed to your channel one year ago or so... it's always a treat when a new video notification dropps in my email. Even more, it's thrilling too see that the quality of your videos (theme, script, editing, filming etc), is becoming even better, from one vid to another. Keep up the good stuff! Cheers from The Netherlands.
I would also like to compliment the FC crew on the fantastic quality of the video and audio. It is truely professional stuff and I hope you can continue and make many more episodes.
As far as I can see, Mark is just a bit of proper funding away from making a killer documentary or film. It's not just the breathtaking views, flawless fades and perfect lightning but the music fit the video as it was scored for it, as in @3:00. Brilliant stuff, Mark.
JRoque250 I bet a crowdfunding type set up could allow something like that to be possible. I bet subscribers would help spread the word if something like that was announced.
Always thought installing hydrogen fuel cells to power boats makes more sense, as a proving ground, than cars. Cars need many refuelling points (equivalent of petrol or gas stations) to be established before a workable solution is created whereas most workboats need one or at most two. Also, the heat byproduct is generally more useful on a boat. What an excellent scheme. Thank you as ever for a great report Robert & team.
But Hydrogen refuelling will be like Electric charging in the next 5-10 years, where one Station would have Electric charging and Hydrogen refilling. Which can be made on site with onsite renewables, in fact many countries are going for Hydrogen, Japan, S.Korea,US,UK, Germany etc. All have HFC busses, Trains, Coaches etc, only embryonic at mo but a lot of money is going into Hydrogen so I think it will change fast, Europe is spending half a Trillion on Hydrogen over the next 10 years!
@@Kiyarose3999 Busses would be another good use - like boats - because you don't need refuelling stations everywhere - just one at the depot. However, I am struggling to see the value of hydrogen power for road vehicles. You take solar or wind power and use it to break water into hydrogen. That conversion will be at best 80% efficient I understand. The hydrogen is used to make electricity again in the vehicle. That will be no more than 60% efficient. This charges small batteries and then drive the road wheels via an EV motor. Hydrogen adds an energy loss of 50% compared to simply charging bigger batteries in an EV. I guess that the hoped-for benefit is that fuel cell vehicles with small short-term batteries will be lighter than pure battery-powered EVs. Are they? I genuinely don't know. If they are then will they be lighter in five years when battery technology has halved in weight or in ten years when battery weight halves again?
One of the best reports on energy future proofing i've seen. A clear example of how there is so much to gain both economically and environmentally by embracing new technology and renewables. Planning for the future on this model makes so much sense - thank you for raising awareness about this project. The more positive lessons we learn from how to change for the better, the faster we can replicate it in other meaningful ways.
With all the negative crap going on around the world, it's nice to see such a forward thinking community blazing a path forward and taking responsibility for it's own emissions. The beauty of this is that more people will see how profitable it can be and hopefully we can get a snowball effect going.
So glad you went back to Orkney and did a follow up. I look forward to a return to the islands when the hydrogen ferries come online or when the island starts to pipe hydrogen to homes for their heating. This has been such an exciting development and truly showcases what CAN be done. The greenprint is being developed right now.
D R-K Hydrogen cannot be piped into homes at concentrations higher than 10%. It can only supplement natural gas burning. Which increases the demand for natural gas fracking.
Thanks for clearing that up. My bad, we don't want to frack, but it is still great to see them using their extra energy and developing things because they have so much energy.
@@dr-k1667 We need to be careful that we don't slip into magical speaking in the energy transition space. "extra energy" for example. Imagine you put your life savings into buying a wind turbine, getting the consents and the interconnect to a grid... How much "extra energy" would you be producing? If you built a power plant that there was no market for, then you have "stranded asset". You invested in the wind turbines expecting that people who use the electricity would pay you. If we could get rid of those two words, we would take a huge step toward real engineering and market building.
Another amazing episode Robert! I have enjoyed this show and learned so much from your channel. You even helped inspire me to become a Leaf owner (and trust me, a lot of people thought I had lost my good senses). This looks like yet another amazing place that you have "shed light" on for many, especially me! Who knew? Great content, love the show, keep 'me coming!
Brilliant episode. Great production quality makes it impossible to look away. Neil Kermode was interesting to listen to as well. It's like every sentence was a useful fact. Informative and educational.The images were so good I'd like to visit. Bit of a long way from Australia though. Really well done. Guess it's time to check out that Patreon link.
Really good story. Robert, i've said this before... You are really good a this. You and your entire team... The music and camera work, just a very uplifting video. Thanks!
Love this episode, and so well put together & filmed! It's amazing to see initiatives like these take place and in such a beautiful location. Truly forward thinking, and with such potential benefit to the islanders. I wish I could become more involved somehow!
Production keeps getting better and better. Every video you upload brings great inspiration. Great job from you and your team, really big congratulations and greetings from Mexico!
I love your Jonathan Porterfield spoof at the start! Thanks Robert.

Wow,such an amazing, uplifting, heartwarming video. I can only hope that soon the example of the small island of Orkney will be a role model for the main island of Britain. We desperately need green energy as much as possible. Keep up this amazing channel! :)
Great insight into what's happening in Orkney. Necessity is the mother of invention as they say. When you're stuck out in the north sea, then you begin to think of new ways of doing things. I can't help but think though, that it might actually be cheaper to run a large cable back, than have to put a trailer loaded with hydrogen onto a ferry. I remember working on Shetland for a few weeks back in 2009. I went to see their waste to energy plant. They had become so successful at recycling that they had to import waste from Orkney to keep the plant running. It supplied constant hot water to Lerwick town. The main school in Lerwick was saving 17,000 litres of heating oil per month. Thanks again FC for a good video.
Mark Taylor-Hankins Love the Fully Charged show because of the subject and production values - but this particular episode was superb and it played out like a segment from 'Countryfile' or similar mainstream tv programme. Great work!
Thank YOU Jonathan Porterfield for all your help and effort to make this happen! Oh, and for being top class chase car driver. 👌 maybe I should call you Baby Driver?
Incredible production improvement Robert and the team. Well done. Yes, I love the panning shots and aerial footage but like another comment said, be sure to keep the information coming. That’s why we watch. To learn more. The maps were a good idea since I’m in Australia and I have no idea where Orkney would be. Keep up the commentary, info, footage and of course the offhanded comments that make us chuckle now and again.
Robert, as always a very informative segment. With all of the narrow minded leadership in the U.S., it is a breath of fresh air to see the positive work being done in Orkney. Please keep up the good work.
One of the best things about this video was when Neil Kermode was explaining all the different steps and things that needs to be put in place to allow the ferries to be switch over to cleaner fuels. A good video for environmentalists who think everything can change instantly tomorrow to watch.
Really great show Robert. Your passion and commitment to sharing the depth and breadth of development in renewable energy and 21 century systems in inspiring.
As a fellow Scot I'm proud that not government but the people of the islands have shown the way. More power to them, no pun intended 😀 next up the electric ferry that charge when they arrive. What's the latest in Norway they have it and takes 15 minutes to charge.
Fab episode! Like Robert says, a greenprint for the future, with local business working with local education and national bodies to make it happen. And great footage, with great music, with the cherry on the top of a gag about sound quality. Wooo!
Just come to fully charged almost by accident the experience has been comparable to finding a new BBC science & technology channel, wow! Mr. Llewellyn and team excellent stuff.
I have been following your videos for some time now. And I think this particular episode was one of the most informative episodes amongst what I have watched so far. Though I can imagine it requires your time effort money and god knows what else, but please oh please do an exclusive or something (at least another episode) about this island and what they do there. Best regards, from Turkey. And if you have been, thank you for reading. :) Bora.
Great video about showing the huge potential for renewables in Orkney but right across Scotland/UK. The first one up bursting two balloons is my daughter!
Another great video! Proof that the world does not have to drown in a sea of oily muck... Or start war(s) to aquire the filthy stuff. Kudos to everyone out there working on clean renewable energy.
If you could tow the islands a couple of thousand kilometres south and improve the weather, I'd live there. Congrats to the enterprising people of the Orkney Islands.
Funny how you could not hear him in the first few seconds with all that wind. then when he is in the middle of the intersection or road you can hear him clearly.
This had a real professional look to it, well done. Thank you for producing such a great show! Would love to see a wider adoption of renewables across the UK. Looking forward to the VW ID Buzz people carrier that comes out in 2022
So, as I understand it:
Orkney, makes too much electricity from renewables. after the entire Islands electricity needs are met, they try and export the rest. Except they've run into a limit with exporting.

goddamn Orkney is pretty awesome.
Domenico Lamberti Pretty much sums it up.
It's amazing to see people come together with a common goal. People should do that more.
Random Guy do what?
Let's all move there then and see how awesome it remains.
The vast majority of people live in cities, cities have lots of tower blocks and tall buildings squeezing in as many people as possible.
Electricity is expensive in the city, we can't just put up a solar panel and fix the cost of running our kettles and cars.

Movie like quality. Massive increase in production quality in the last year. Keep up the great work 👏
Insane audio/video quality. Only thing that would put it over the top would be if it was shot/uploaded 4k60 :)
We don't need 4k. Also makes editing so much more time consuming..

I must say Mr. Llewellyn, the quality of your channel is excellent, bbc quality. I have been continually impressed with all of your content and have given me hope for the future! Bravo sir. Btw really looking forward to the new series of Red Dwarf too!
What a great video! The music score, camera work and overall production are awesome. 👏
I would love to know who created the music for this video.
The BBC have now had the videos taken down, but it sounded similar to the music on a programme called Infinity and Beyond.
Thanks Wellington Boobs :)

Really well shot. I believe this may be the best cinematography so far in the show. Good work
This kinds of videos are exactly why TV is dying, outstanding montage !
The quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better and I really enjoy watching them. :) Have a nice day.
That's brightend my day ! Thank you for showing us Robert.

It'll happen eventually. We just got to make sure it happens before the climate crisis get out of our control
Episode felt more like a documentary this time. Impressed, beautiful and inspiring!
Well worth the wait, excellent episode
James and Kate thanks guys!
Go Orkney Islands!! Very amazing episode - I've been wanting an update and so looking forward to the next two episodes.
The music sounds so inspiring.
11:21 - this sounds to me like "looking into the future" or "things to come". Gets me excited.
Such great content and production is rare to come by... thanks for all the work!

Fantastic episode, well worth watching. More like this Robert ! Really great.
Love this episode. Great work. Artistics shoots. Fantastic topic.
Possibly the best, most interesting fully charged ever made. Production quality is just incredible too!
Love this episode, and so well put together & filmed! It's amazing to see initiatives like these take place and in such a beautiful location. Truly forward thinking, and with such potential benefit to the islanders. I wish I could become more involved somehow!
Superb edition of the show. Worthy of mainstream tv.
The quality of these videos is outstanding
Production keeps getting better and better. Every video you upload brings great inspiration. Great job from you and your team, really big congratulations and greetings from Mexico!
The production quality of this episode is very impressive.
Excellent episode. Really is an eye opener to the possibilities of all electric communities and the benefits that can be found.
Keep up the great work

Mark Taylor-Hankins Love the Fully Charged show because of the subject and production values - but this particular episode was superb and it played out like a segment from 'Countryfile' or similar mainstream tv programme. Great work!
Do you mean "Wow, you have a good camera, man" or "Wow, you have a good cameraman", man?!
Great work mark ! I really enjoyed working with you all on these days . Esp like the intros ! And sub titles ! 😂😂
Thank YOU Jonathan Porterfield for all your help and effort to make this happen! Oh, and for being top class chase car driver. 👌 maybe I should call you Baby Driver?
anytime Mark LOL !
Fantastic episode! Love watching your work get better like this!
I'm totally amazed! it is absolutely stunning! Watching this, I felt like the future is just around the corner
This is a really high quality utube. Love the content, presentation and recording better than tv
audio and video quality in this chapter has improved exponentionaly. Great job.
Incredible production improvement Robert and the team. Well done. Yes, I love the panning shots and aerial footage but like another comment said, be sure to keep the information coming. That’s why we watch. To learn more. The maps were a good idea since I’m in Australia and I have no idea where Orkney would be.
Keep up the commentary, info, footage and of course the offhanded comments that make us chuckle now and again.
Robert, as always a very informative segment. With all of the narrow minded leadership in the U.S., it is a breath of fresh air to see the positive work being done in Orkney. Please keep up the good work.
One of the best things about this video was when Neil Kermode was explaining all the different steps and things that needs to be put in place to allow the ferries to be switch over to cleaner fuels.
A good video for environmentalists who think everything can change instantly tomorrow to watch.
Really great show Robert. Your passion and commitment to sharing the depth and breadth of development in renewable energy and 21 century systems in inspiring.
Nice production quality. Finally some money being spent!
As a fellow Scot I'm proud that not government but the people of the islands have shown the way. More power to them, no pun intended 😀 next up the electric ferry that charge when they arrive. What's the latest in Norway they have it and takes 15 minutes to charge.
Hydrogen electric ferries are awesome, less pollution is the given but also lower noise output and less down time between service.
Fantastic video, greatly informative, fun to watch, and brilliant shooting techniques all over. Keep up the good work!
Fab episode! Like Robert says, a greenprint for the future, with local business working with local education and national bodies to make it happen. And great footage, with great music, with the cherry on the top of a gag about sound quality. Wooo!
Brilliant video! Keep up the high quality production!
Bloody hell! Exponential growth in filming quality.
very refreshing to see such forward thinking. Makes me want to move too Orkney.
Absolutely wonderfully done Rob! (both the systems and the presentation) Gives hope to us all!
Just come to fully charged almost by accident the experience has been comparable to finding a new BBC science & technology channel, wow! Mr. Llewellyn and team excellent stuff.
This has to be my favourite episode to date. Why the UK Government isn't replicating what Orkney have done but on a much bigger scale is beyond me?
As a long time watcher Fully Charged just keeps getting better good job!
I feel 200000 subscribers on the way.
Especially with this quality of filming and content.
Djg hahahahahhaha
great show. Thank you, very high quality.
Scenes, sounds and filming better 5 years ago than it is now! ❤ well done post production!
This was a beautiful video in every sense of the word, amazing!!
I have been following your videos for some time now. And I think this particular episode was one of the most informative episodes amongst what I have watched so far. Though I can imagine it requires your time effort money and god knows what else, but please oh please do an exclusive or something (at least another episode) about this island and what they do there.
Best regards, from Turkey.
And if you have been, thank you for reading. :)

WOW! ....Almost two hundred thousand subscribers, must be doing something right! Congrats and keep the great stories coming.
Great video about showing the huge potential for renewables in Orkney but right across Scotland/UK. The first one up bursting two balloons is my daughter!
I love this show. It's just fantastic!
fabulous episod and a great leap in production quality.
One of your most fascinating stories yet, big thank you '
Another great video! Proof that the world does not have to drown in a sea of oily muck... Or start war(s) to aquire the filthy stuff. Kudos to everyone out there working on clean renewable energy.
Chuffing Brilliant!! This is the way to go....
A beautifully presented video really amazing. I just wish more people knew about fully charged.
This is the future! Orkney #greenprint is awesome in so many ways! great video (as usual!)
A well done series. Thank you. We need you here in the U.S. to promote this.
If you could tow the islands a couple of thousand kilometres south and improve the weather, I'd live there. Congrats to the enterprising people of the Orkney Islands.
A fantastic project and great to see my ancestral islands again. I really must visit myself someday!
Wow this looks amazing. I'd love to move here!!
Brilliantly remarkable! Exceptional. Yep.
// And may I add: Exquisitely produced, presented. Toe-curling fun.
"LOVE" how noisy that road is. So awesome!!
Funny how you could not hear him in the first few seconds with all that wind. then when he is in the middle of the intersection or road you can hear him clearly.
This had a real professional look to it, well done. Thank you for producing such a great show! Would love to see a wider adoption of renewables across the UK. Looking forward to the VW ID Buzz people carrier that comes out in 2022
I Really like this man and what he describe about the Islands and energy! Wish all communitys around in Sweden would rally around reneweble like this!
Seriously well produced this video. Keep it up.
Great subject, fantastic place and excellent demonstration of adapting renewables into a carbon infrastructure.
Top video quality too..
This is marvellous, Mr Llewellyn.
