which the gangs that control the country. they could seize power because the situation is not good at all. the thousands had been forced to leave their homes as the civil unrest continues to spread. that's it for the moment clement a is coming up. next. the imagine that you're eating a hamburger and as you're biting into this juicy burner, your dining companion says to you, actually that hamburger is not made from the house. it's made from golden retrievers. 2 should we. 2 2 2 2 2 2 in meeting cultures around the world,
7:16 am
people learn to classify small handful of animals with edible and all the rest they classify as disgusting. w series about a complex relationship with animals. the great debate. what's, you know, on youtube, dw documentary the or being a climate john? unless this level or loss of this. okay, let's do it. and do this for you. i think that's beyond the next level. i want to show you how tweet entire neighborhoods with water as cold as this is like a thousands of negroes in my legs. the answer with a heat pump, a very big one. but even the small ones are indispensable when it comes to the cabin. rising housing, these gadgets can convert seemingly infinite amounts of energy from the environment to warm our homes even in winter. but how is that done, and why on the every way it nothing
7:17 am
required small energy worldwide than keeping house this woman providing to industry . teaching accounts for half of the global energy consumption and 72 percent. while a heat thing comes from burning fossil fuels. long story short to limited global warming, we need to bring heating, emissions down. but before we get to that, we need some cold facts. i mean, really cold. okay, i'm not ready at all. all it's mine is one degrees celsius outside and the water is only like the warm thank you planted a why am i doing this? again? it's unbelievable. but in the city of month time in south west germany, this ice cold water is used to heat thousands of homes. we're going to find out how this is possible. my name is the mid sized city of about $300000.00 inhabitants.
7:18 am
it's 6 directly on germany's biggest river. right. and you guys, right. the river plays a key role in this story. the magic, it's happening in the local energy providers producing electricity. mt thing really makes a fossil fuels and cold water. until today, the region relied heavily on the most climate timing source for heating cooling. this is felix ok. he's energy manage it. energy company, mtv. the magic machine we're about to show you is his baby. this single thought plant is responsible for about $6800000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. it's almost one percent of germany's annual emissions, but this is changing for the better. right now. the other thing that i am referencing when you own that the fund, this is of the total of the value mayor may half of the sum of the data from the
7:19 am
shop on the 5th outside. ok. and then, but one of them got in the succeeding subset of nashik trip to college. no, no, grandmother them, it's somebody else. and for them one died somebody or steps a name, but that doesn't. this one looks a lot. so this deafening done is in fact the heat for river by pushing to 800 meters of the type of 2nd. it can provide heat for $3500.00 households all year around. yeah. okay, wait a 2nd. let's take a septic. this is what happens in all those pipes, the what that seems co to us, but it's easily warm enough to turn a liquid refrigerant into graphs as this kind of upward. extremely low, temperature is the gas expense,
7:20 am
and electric pump then compresses this gas. this generates heat, it's a bit like with a bicycle pump, the longer your pump, so the higher the pressure, the whole tide gets, try it out. the heat is gas is used to warm up water or f, for example. the refrigerator gives up its heat and becomes liquid again and the process can we saw this mechanism is so efficient. you can generate 3 times as much heat with the same energy as with a gas for that. it doesn't just work with river water. you get the same effect with heat from a and the ground. ideally the electricity for the pump comes from renewable entities. but even if it comes from fossil fuels, it's still more sustainable. the principle of a heat pump isn't new at all. it's based on a concept which has existed for a very long time and on the technology, which most of us have at home a refrigerator. back in the 19th century, the demand for cooling was much higher than for heating. ice was carried from far
7:21 am
away. if there was no possibility to keep things cool. in 1859, the frenchman fed, you know, kazi design the 1st commercially successful ammonia absorb some cooling system. it works the same way as a heat pump, but the other way around carrying heat from inside to outside. from there, another familiar machine evolved. the air conditioning invented to solve hot and humidity problems in the printing industry. only later, the heat pump had its big moments. the pride and joy of the man of the house is the weather control center, a center that puts you in charge of the electric heating and air conditioning, and the electronic air skills or any of the entire house. with western economies booming after world war 2, bringing widespread electrification and new life style expectations, heat pumps fitted right in. but as most people were happy to buy and cheap or the gas for decades,
7:22 am
it didn't really catch on until now. so now we're going to see the huge storage from where the distributed over the entire this is pamela tenants. right. so then, so it's a policy cubic meter bustle at the end of the 1000000 in this of the safety of often available on december 1st at the moment by far, the largest proportion of this is still heated with cool. only 3 percent of the heat comes from the river, but that was soon changed as the coal fired the station will probably be shut down by 2033. and the volume of one of my daughters to this other one does finish to tell us in policy as a meant to them and also suffer them from for us are fed and others, you know, my, you know, seeing in the next me and then the soon as energy efficient and sustainable, really, the heat pump is taking heat from the river means that the want to is being discharged 3 degrees quarter after the process with potentially negative impacts on
7:23 am
a larger scale. luckily at the moment, most of which is obviously he to, to, to climate change phase. this beneficial to a point and put you on that you will have need be um, an access ecological effect that you might want to avoid. this is probably an awesome scientist, a gemini is phone or a i. e, g, an ex, code for large scale heat pumps. however, due to the small quantities of water being discharged, the temperature in the river only changes by less than 110000th of a degree according to mtv. but now i mentioned one of them, the river right and will be made just city. so they're wanting to cover that tie he to month, including industrial tons such as the b s s or could extra punch the along the river line that will use ball to mid the might use water for, for heat pumps, for the processes. and suddenly you get, uh, you get an issue with another issue, all the refrigerants that can be terrible greenhouse gases, what's your video and f gas as if you want to know more,
7:24 am
there are alternatives on the market which have less global warming potential. but some of the other issues, such as being easy to ignite and manufacturers tend to produce business as usual. in my name, the generated heat is distributed by district heating over and on the grounds in germany, around 15 percent of all buildings. and though he does in this way, and most of it could be meant by large heat pumps, cutting out cold and gas. they asked of a nice but installation. so start to, to pick up a role model. is this we just capital style calling way about 90000 apartments, a heated from wastewater? and the norwegian city of drummond provides most of the heat for it's 65000 residents with he's permits, coats the water and communities don't even need this strategic heat pumps can be directly attached to a building or industrial side where temperatures up to 200 degrees celsius are needed. the phones can extract energy from almost any, see, a way for the sea. and even from the ground is it only took issues because it's
7:25 am
pretty small to be used in almost any residential building like this one by 2030 heat pump. this could save as many emissions as all the costs and you have produced a year with smaller units taking a central stage, especially as heat pumps can also turn from heating into cooling mode, at a more energy efficient than classic air conditioners. but there is a catch, of course, it's the money, a particular woman, sterling of fast heat pump, switching from a different hitching system is always going to be more expensive as we all right. now, this is really something that she's a policy expert at nonprofit regulatory assistant project. she has a heat pump itself and loves it right now. in 2024. heat pumps can cause $2.00 to $4.00 times small the natural gas for this. it's a big outlay, especially for low income families. on the other hand, long term they could save you money as heat pumps need less energy. in europe,
7:26 am
households currently save on average $900.00 per year, and in the us $300.00. but the advantage of fossil fuel heating depends highly on. yep. energy prices is full. the recent energy price cost is when prices became unpredictable and fall. a tile on average across europe and electricity was around $33.00 times more expensive in gas. so you can see if you having an efficient heat pump getting a 300 percent full 100 percent efficiency, you might be saving some money back in the u. k. where on this before the press cost is electricity was 5 times more expensive in gas. so you can see that, that you would really struggle to be saving some money. so if he promised almost sustainable and economy kelly viable depends highly on your government's energy policies, whether they've favor cheap, green electricity over fossil fuels. in man, i'm the prospect of high to texas low climate targets and states subsidies for the
7:27 am
construction of the plans with the size. if in the switch to rip a heating that target is to provide almost 100 percent clean heat by 2030. the funds will cover all of that, but will be one important component to eventually shut down the dirty coal power plant behind me. in the near future. no matter of smaller scale, keep problems almost sustainable and can make regions more independent from fossil fuels. and they do work in winter. i hope you appreciate the effort i flip into showing that i can say i can enjoy a heat pumps pump. you know where you live, let us know and the comments subscribe to our channel and hit the like button. we have new videos for you every friday and i need to get out of it all. all right. i made it to the germany, desperately need for skilled workers. what are the solution?
7:28 am
one job board is focused on drawing in more international talent, other businesses or offering recruits a 4 day work week. a i will handle the paperwork in the future. is that all is hip and cool as it sounds. total labor markets are evolving night in town. many next, on d, w, the big hot dogs make a strong case against smoking in frames because health is at and t the constant harassment can even lead today. and when the little ones i have learned to defend themselves, they can focus on here in 60 minutes on dw, the
