1 00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:21,150 Even in the richest countries like the UK, over 10 percent of people still live in fuel poverty worldwide, 2 00:00:21,150 --> 00:00:27,240 one point two billion people still don't have access to electricity at all. 3 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:41,940 How can we give everyone the comfort we enjoy from energy without ruining the planet? 4 00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:50,160 Chemistry is central in this effort. Chemistry helps us to understand how energy gets converted, 5 00:00:50,160 --> 00:01:13,750 where and why we suffer losses of energy and chemistry helps us develop new methods which will do much better in future. 6 00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:22,870 We've seen how chemistry is central to our energy future, chemical processes can help us use fossil fuels more efficiently and reduce pollution, 7 00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:26,920 and chemistry can help us to make better use of new, sustainable, 8 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:45,173 renewable sources of energy by converting them into fuels so that we can use them when we need them.
