Koffiezetten met een windmolen, kan dat? Transcript
[Visuals]
{The screen is split into two images. Left is a coffee cup underneath the outlets of a coffee machine. Coffee is pouring from the machine into the white porcelain cup. Right is a shot of wind turbines towering over the surface of the ocean. The futuristic-looking white turbines boast a yellow and red Shell logo. They are placed in a straight line, blades turning, in the middle of a calm blue ocean. The background goes white and black letters appear, reading:}

[Making coffee with a windmill... Is that possible?]
[Background music plays]
[Calm, playful music plays in the background.]

{The screen splits again. On the left side of the screen, a handsome twenty-something male looks slightly confused. Below his face, text appears:}

[Huib, coffee aficionado]
{Huib}
{I don't get how it works, a windmill. Does it instantly supply electricity, or is wind turned into electricity later?}
{Visual transition/change}
{On the right side, the wind turbines continue to stand tall, their blades turning elegantly. Now a small ship sails the North Sea. A time and a place appear in white letters on the screen:}

[Seven forty-five AM, IJmuiden.]
[Visuals]
{On deck is Huib, flanked by a middle-aged man. They point enthusiastically to the industrial estate on shore. Both men are wearing dark-blue lifejackets. In the top right of the screen, white text appears:}

[Hashtag: make the future.]
[Visuals]
{Huib is holding a coffee machine in his hands and leaning calmly against the safety rail.}
{Huib}
{It's quite chilly here. I better hadn’t asked because Shell immediately said: 'Come and check whether one of those wind turbines holds electricity.'}
[Visuals]
{Huib puts a friendly hand on the shoulder of the man standing beside him. When the man starts talking, text appears below:}
[Title]
[Hessel, Wind Expert, Shell.]
{Hessel}
{Egmond aan Zee is home to the first offshoring project in the Netherlands.}
[Visuals]
{Hessel points to the wind turbines in the water.}
{Hessel}
{It has been for 11 years now.}
[Visuals]
{Huib, still cradling his coffee machine, listens to Hessel intently.}
{Hessel}
{All a wind turbine does is turn wind energy into electricity.}
[Text displays]
{Yellow and white text appears:}
[Converting wind energy into electricity.]
{Visual transition/change}
{A plant worker, wearing a fluorescent yellow jacket, a hard hat and a lifejacket, is looking at the distance between the ship and the wind turbine and holding his hands apart to indicate the distance to someone else. The bow of the ship nears the metal ladder on the wind turbine.}
{On deck, Hessel is happily explaining how it works to Huib.}
{Hessel}
{The electricity you need for your coffee machine. Potentially, the North Sea has enough wind energy... to supply the Netherlands' entire demand, including transport and heating.}
[Text displays]
{Yellow and white text appears:}
[The Netherlands' entire demand.]
[Visuals]
{Huib points at his coffee machine.}
{Huib}
{So I can just plug my machine in and it will work?}
{Hessel}
{Yes, we only have to convert the electricity to 220 volt.}
[Text displays]
{Yellow and white text appears:}
[Convert electricity to 220 volt.]
{Hessel}
{But there isn't much point in doing that now.}
[Visuals]
{Huib looks surprised.}
{Huib}
{Why not?}
{Hessel}
{Because you need a cup first.}
[Visuals]
{Hessel produces the white porcelain cup we saw earlier and hands it to Huib, who laughs and takes it.}
[As Hessel takes the cup, there is a loud, high-pitched sound.]
{Hessel}
{Peter, the wind turbine mechanic...}
{Visual transition/change}
{Peter, dressed in yellow and black overalls and a climbing harness, starts ascending the turbine’s metal ladder. The worker who was on the bow before is now unwinding an electricity cable. He connects the cable’s plug to a snap hook and Peter starts hoisting it up.}
{Hessel}
{...will connect your coffee machine to the plug inside the wind turbine.}
[Visuals]
{Hessel and Huib look up to Peter in anticipation. Peter gives a thumbs-up.}
{Peter}
{It has power.}
[Visuals]
{Huib presses the button on his coffee machine. Coffee starts pouring into his cup. He looks own at the process and grins.}
{Huib}
{Look at that! It works.}
[Visuals]
{The wind turbines in the North Sea look on majestically.}
{Huib}
{Wasn't that great?}
[Visuals]
{From the ship’s deck, Huib points to the wind turbines.}
{Huib}
{Green energy is increasingly part of our everyday lives.}
{And you don't even notice it.}
[Visuals]
{He looks at his cup of coffee happily and raises it into the shot.}
{Huib}
{This is how I recharge.}
[Visuals]
{Huib raises the cup further as if to cheers and takes a sip, looking out over the ocean and the wind turbines.}

{Yellow and white text appears:}
[Shell and its partners are investing in 78 wind turbines off the coast of Borssele. That's enough electricity for 825,000 households.]
{The screen whites out and the Shell logo appears. Underneath, dark gray text reads:}
