00:00Japan submerges enormous tidal turbine to capture energy from ocean currents.

00:04Japanese researchers believe that deep ocean currents could provide a new source of clean energy for the world.

00:10In 2022, they completed a demonstration of a large prototype turbine generator

00:14that had spent three years submerged off the coast of Japan,

00:18harnessing the consistent power of the deep ocean.

00:24Utilizing large turbines and water currents can generate electricity, similar to wind power.

00:29Deep ocean currents, like Japan's Kuroshio, offer steady energy but pose challenges in efficiency

00:35and high construction costs compared to wind and solar.

00:40In 2011, Nido and IHI Corporation developed Kairu, a turbine system,

00:46to harness deep ocean currents for energy.

00:49By 2022, it generated 100 kilowatts of stable electricity for Japan.

00:54The turbine's blades would be rotated by the ocean currents, thereby generating electricity.

01:05In 2021, a trial project called Proteus was launched in the Nauru Strait

01:10and made use of a 500 kilowatt tidal turbine.

01:13This project confirmed the viability of the technology,

01:16demonstrating an incredible 97% turbine availability.

01:19Proteus has expanded its reach beyond Japan and the UK,

01:27installing tidal turbines in six countries,

01:29producing over 20 gigawatt hours of electricity.

01:32The company collaborates with clients in France, Scotland, and the US,

01:36aiding in renewable energy goals for a sustainable future.

01:39The success of projects such as Kairu and Proteus demonstrates the vast potential

01:47of deep ocean currents as a dependable energy source.

01:50While obstacles exist, continuing advancements in tidal turbine technology

01:54make this approach feasible.

01:56As Proteus expands its worldwide reach,

01:59incorporating ocean current energy into traditional power systems

02:02could potentially have an important role in reducing dependency on fossil fuels.

02:06With continuing improvements in efficiency and scalability,

02:13these tidal turbines may soon play a big role in the world's clean energy mix.

02:17As for all the players, these days will be sangat beautifully,

02:20so we can get you to work with some of our current owners.

02:24So we look forward to seeing you in our view.

02:26We'll talk about the sales of a 1,000-325thM,

02:27so we'll be learning to build a 2000-600thM.

02:28So, let's look forward to seeing you in our view.

02:32Please look forward to seeing you in the view.

02:33We'll talk to you in the view.

02:34After the sales are available.

02:35We'll talk not about the sales of about 1,000-3252,

02:36with 6,000-325 feet.

02:38This is the best.

02:38We'll talk about the sales of two people.

02:40We'll talk about the sales of the track that we can use for the sales of the project.

02:41So thank you in the pro-5-3255.

02:42helps us.
