Masdar City is a project in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. Its core is a planned city, which is being built by the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company, with the majority of seed capital provided by the government of Abu Dhabi. Designed by the British architectural firm Foster and Partners, the city will rely entirely on solar energy and other renewable energy sources, with a sustainable, zero-carbon, zero-waste ecology.
ABOUT FULLY CHARGED:
Fully Charged is an online show hosted by Robert Llewellyn (Red Dwarf, Scrapheap Challenge, Carpool), sponsored by British Gas: Looking After Your World. During this series, Robert will discuss why we need to change how we think about energy consumption now. He will be taking a look at the newest electric cars available on the market [Volvo, Ford, Peugeot, Renault & Nissan] and also different forms of renewable energy [Wind and Solar]. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Before this, I have never heard of Masdar City. Thanks to part 1 and 2 and you Robert, I'm nearly obsessed with it!
Indeed this may presently be the case, but they are way ahead in creating grid level energy storage, this is, after all what the city is all about. It's the home to many different experiments. They are already using massive pressurized oil tanks to store heat which in turns runs generator, within a few years they are confident they will be running 100% on renewable energy.
I am glad to be a student in this great institute:)
wow congrats, what a chance! I wonder if they still open to students ... though I'm a wind engineering student ...
+Cakra “Diaz1999” Diaz Thanks! Yes apply for Spring 2017! Your background helps !
Robert I think I was just as excited as you to hear about the PRT...brilliant technology with so much potential...
This is the first time I have ever seen a video with more than 100 likes, and 0 dislikes. I must say, I think this guy knows what he's doing. It wasn't even a boring video either! I was very interesting. Keep on working like this!!
I was there today! It's the only place I could find organic apple cider vinegar close to my villa lol!
I'm in my 20s hoping I can be apart of this revolution. I hope others my age will share these videos and the spread the word about renewable energy.
This show should have alot more views and subscribers i cant wait for another season great work.
Really enjoyed this series, can't wait for the next.
so almost 4 years already, I wonder how it's like right now
Shut down and abandoned.
lol stop talking shit. It's doing fine.
Yeah, doing real fine even though there are numerous reports of it being shut down and all but a ghost town today. Personally, this was something I was really hoping would happen. I really wanted a city of the future to pave the way and show the world there is a future past most of the energy we currently use. A city that pushes for technology with the greatest minds and scientists on the planet. Unfortunately, Masdar doesn't seem to be that city.
shut down my ass...this is defetic propaganda at it's best level. @infinite world, the city of masdar is still on track and is prepering quitely the phase 2

This is amazing i just hope all the reserce documents will be made public for the rest of the world to learn from.
Awesome video thank you
I love it! The Julia Morgan of the Middle East. Great design and research design.
the shape of the buildings,the new technology and the futuristic looking city are some reasons you might feel that way
Actions really do speak louder than words.
Kind of ironic that this show is sponsored by British Gas
+Benjamin Guillaume Why is that ironic? Oil companies are jumping on renewable energies like never before because they know that public opinion is changing and that their days (or years) of fracking are pretty much numbered.
I'd love to move there and contribute to it!
so we're on the same boat!
EXCELENTE REPORTAJE, OJALA MAS PAISES HICIERAN LO MISMO!
good show.
Gotta say, with all the sun in the area, the region they buildt Masdar in is kinda the obvious place to start building zero-fossil fuel cities.
Interesting, concrete waste as road base is an old idea, heck back in the 80's we once had people complaining there wasn't enough concrete waste for our roads in Denmark. Nowadays we only have to resurface them, so it's no longer an issue, but still a fun twist to the discussion on waste. :)
This is amazing what man kind can do and hopefully it will be like this in the future.XD
very good ideas and some good work. but many unanswered questions... How about the water management? where does it come from? Desalination of the Persian Gulf water? What about the steel recycling?? did someone understand what the make out of the steel waste? I didn't. In general, besides the recycling of wood and concrete, the other recycling ideas looked more than dreams or ideas, not like really eco friendly ways of recycling things... steel needs to be heated to very hot degrees to reform or reuse it... also plastic needs to be melted and cleaned of small waste parts in it...
Ah another fan of Gibson's novels !
This is not the case for concentrated solar power (CSP) which the city is using alongside photovoltaics. CSP uses similar technology as fossil fuels. Instead of using coal to heat up water to create steam, CSP heats oil, or a brine solution, to incredibly high temperatures that boil water to create steam. The oil is heated up using the sun and the oil will stay hot well into the night. Some systems can run for 4 days with no sun. Check it out on wikipedia, it's really cool technology.
its called Fully charged, so we need to make sure we have full charge before leaving, if u want a car show watch top gear, they'll love those cars you mentioned...
I laughed when the spokesman said Masdar's version of PRT doesn't have expensive infrastructure, as if the city Undercroft isn't the most expensive PRT guideway ever built. They should have gone with a guideway like the Heathrow Pod, and will have to if Masdar PRT ever expands (no current plans to do so?).
Not sure if Masdar is using or plans on using Liquid Metal Batteries in the future, but that might solve the energy storage problems.
Hey will you ever do a story on Japan? As you probably know Japan passed the renewable energy tarrif, and they're expected to leapfrog over germany in a few years. Seems you could make an episode on what's going on over there
I'm surprised there are no Solar Collector Towers, some of them use chemical exchange (using salts) to store energy during the night. Several of these towers are being built in the US.
very, very true.
Its been almost 10 yrs since publisihng of this video. Whats the update on masdar? Is the outcome as promised? Can we learn lessons from last 15 yrs since its inception? The do’s and don’ts of such projects.
Look it up, it failed
live green, live healthy :)
It's really near the airport and 11 miles from AD city, so the same places as people there I guess.
Can anyone elaborate, and explain how "the city is (being) oriented 45º towards (?) the sun" results, in conjunction with all the other measures, in a 10º reduction of the average "street" temperature? Visual/animated explanatory links would be greatly appreciated.
The average city has lots of tar roads, because tar absorbs heat the city's are generally hotter than the surrounding areas. As well as the other things like the 45 degrees to the sun to get the most shade, the city will actually be very cool
As Robert pointed out, it's surprising that a country synonymous with oil production is investing in renewable energy technologies and next generation smart community and building design. Clearly they see end of the road for oil. It is just as surprising that a heavily energy-dependant country like the USA is making very little effort to plan for a post-fossil fuel world.
All the trash could potentially go to a land fill and the gases it would create could be used for power. I know they do that in the US to power a city, don't know how green it is though.
seria bom se os videos fossem dublados em portugues.
برافو - الحقيقة يعنى - ناس أغنياء أيوه بس بدلاً من أن يصرفوا فلوسهم ع الحروب بيصرفوها فى حاجة كويسة - ممتاز - هو ده
i could.. with a add-on. "Bravo - the truth means - the rich people of Ayo but instead of spending
their money, wars and their need for a quesa - excellent - it is"
if they're producing free renwable, clean energy from solar panel, i wonder how much they will charge for electricity. It should be free!
Chris Conroy? Hi there! Unfortunately, electricity produced from the sun is only free after you've paid back the £600,000,000 it cost to install the 'free' light collecting and power distribution systems...
BONUS MATERIALS???
Ow man....think how long it will take before every city is like this...hundreds of years? or can we change our attitudes, coz that's what's standing in the way...
Wait if this is gonna be a big economic city (like I bet it will) how will they have a airport?
electric planes lol
pan am Abu dabi got Solar planes, Not started using them but the have been experimented successfully.
IF YOU LOOK WORLDWIDE TURBOPROP TYPE AIRCRAFT ARE ALREADY ON THE MARKET THAT is ELECTRIC POWERED?? ALL DESIGNS CAN BE REFITTED TO BE POWERED BY THE VOLT NOT THIS TEST LIKE IT HAS TAKEN THIS LONG THE RATE OF DEVELOPMENT IS SPEEDING UP. IN THE MEANTIME WHY NOT UNDERGROUND HIGH-SPEED ELECTRIC TRAINS INSTEAD ALL OVER THE PLACE FROM THIS CITYS MAIN HUB OUT TO THE OTHER PARTS OF THIS LAND?
This is amazing but I was imagining with all the monitoring if someone farted and an alarm goes off, men in suits come in to investigate.
Did someone in the UAE look at the Venus Project and go "Yep, that's happening in my Emirate now."
Except they likely still use money.
I meant no offense, although I see how someone could take offense. Actually I am glad that someone somewhere is moving forward with new advanced and modern living areas and an Arcology like Masdar is amazing. I would love to visit it someday.
No ride on the PRT? Only cartoons? Agh!
I know this is going to get me flak, however I watched a Shell video which here. watch?v=yFr-OocOb7Y&feature=plcp . This paints a very different picture of Masdar and is not totally dismissive but points out something which is often forgotten, Masdars energy from Solar goes away at night and they dont have storage systems so rely on the incoming grid then. I woudl suggest people watch the Shell video to hear other sides. Love the show tho, always watch it.
i thought they wore the hat keffiyeh? because of the desert heat and sand? why do they wear it in the coolest most modern place in the desert lol?
22,000 people watched part 1 but only 8500 viewed pt 2...something isnt adding up lol
I love Arabia ^_^
Shell don't want to lose their oil business.
Whoever invested their cash into the infrastructure is going to want some sort of return on their investment. Plus there will be maintenance costs as well. It won't be free, but I bet it will be cheaper than fossil fuel.
Why do they not recycle plastic? that's strange? .. In Sweden we are recycling 92% of all plastic.. we are not best in the EU though... Recycling plastic saves a lot of oil!!
Did you hear about the Liquid Atmpsheric Oxygen principle which may be able to be used as an industrial system to store energy from green production and could also run cars. Liquid Air cars. video here. /watch?v=NOImbv_xcT8 / Dearman Engine Company - they have an interesting website. Safer than hydrogen and its just air.
Why did i feel like i was watching star trek?
Why would they not want to save oil in Abu Dhabi, hmm? Nope, I can't think why.
Next step is cradle-to-cradle sustainability. 95 percent isn't enough, there's still waste! When everything we create and use leaves a positive imprint on the environment we are truly the stewards of a recovering world!
Hey Good idea but I found out that families are having less and less children so when the worldwide birth rate ~2.1/female we won't need to decrease the pollution output as the population will flatline, flatlining the pollution output. Although we need to combat CHINA and illegal logging. Logging is worse that pollution output.
+Jack Emanuel China invests more in renewable energy than another other nation on the planet.
+TEM006 xD
A "lump of condensed future"
oil is like drugs, we are addited to it but the sellers(not all) know better and not to use it. we all need to kick the habit!
where do people work ? - grow food -
This would be easier to follow if you did a bit more editing.
This video is 4 years old..
A very nice idea however its easy to implement when you can simply pump your money out of the ground, I very much doubt it would every have existed if it were not for fossil fuel which is a little ironic but not to say a bad thing. Really loved all the videos, they even have pretty recycling managers too :-) what a great job you have!
Yeah if your're talking about buring trash, thats one of the least enviromental friendly sources of energy; natural gas and coal are cleaner. But I see what you're saying two birds one stone.
OIL
please change the music - great show!
Get BK to cars please.Yes where the energy comes from matters but your missing the point of being a car show and theres so much new stuff out there i.e. Jaguar XJ plug-in hybrid, BMW i3 & i8, Honda NSX, Porsrche 918 Spider, extra.
I am in the National Disabled Sailing championship 24-28 October San Diego. No Paraolympic Brits are competing. No electric cars or pRTs.
Subtitles are horrible. Seriously.
LOL ;-)
bring it to california
Mit Romney and his republicans like your comment that you have given up. How is your mandarin?
lol 100% clean and renewable dream on
we know where the money is coming from but where is the design and technology coming from?????
All over the world.
they can pay ANYONE with craptons of monis
that place is scary as fuck.
^said a man from medieval times.
this city is amazing as fuck
If you say so...
Gordon Chin
how do you come to this conclusion?
Just you wait and see. ;)
1:23 you didn't invent nothing, the Wind towers (badghir ) existed in Persia (Iran) since X cent. BC. Inshallah
I am sure they don't claim they 'invented it.' They explain that it's a very old idea, adapted with modern materials and technology.
EVERYTHING YOU CLOWN OVER THERE CLAIM IS BULLSHIT! WE HERE HAVE THE BIGGEST AND OLDEST CITIES!! PERIOD WHEN LIKE THE WHITEMAN WHEN YOU LIVED IN TENTS?? WE HAD CITIES OF OVER 28 MILLION?? WE INVENTED COUNTING AND THE FUCKING ZERO WE HAVE to BUILD MORE THING WITHOUT MORTAR AND THERE STILL HERE WORKING
ANYTHING YOU HAVE?? WE TAUGHT IT TO YOU!! BUT YOU LET THE EUROPEANS TELL YOU YOUR OWN HISTORY?? THE SPANISH MISSED ONE SET OF BOOKS THE OLDEST IS OVER 59,000 YEARS OLD CITIES HERE ARE OLDER THAN ANYTHING IN THE VALLEY OF LIFE BY 45,000 YEARS OLD. ALL WHO FOLLOWS THE EUROPEAN WILL BE IN TROUBLE VERY SOON? EVERYTHING TAUGHT TO YOUR PEOPLE WERE OUR TEACHERS!! BUT YOU RUINED IT WITH OUTSIDE BULLSHIT!! NOW YOU LIVE LIKE A FUCKING EUROPEAN?? PLEASE!! WHEN WE ARE READY WE WILL RULE THIS WORLD AGAIN, AND THOSE NOT SIDED WITH US DISAPPEAR FROM THIS WORLD, ALL THERE MAKE BELIEVE BULLSHIT! THE MAYAN ARE STILL HERE AND THE OTHER ...TRIBES ARE READY. SOON THE WHITE WORLD WILL KNOW OUR WAYS...YOU WER JUST LIKE US! GREAT, AND...TRIBAL.? SO, WHO HAS FORGOTTEN PART OF THEIR PAST AND THE TRUTH? WHO HAS LET THE ENEMY TAKE IT FROM THEM? DONT KILL THEM TURN FROM THEIR LIES AND RETURN TO THE OLD GREAT WAYS? IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THEM?
Bruce Sweatman III calm down mate
it is the most boring thing I've ever seen in my life
