well, unfortunately, we were at a time their entertainment journalists kj massey's tax. thank you. all right, you're up to date up next date of your business looks at have the increasing amount of clean energy from minute renewable sources could be stored more effectively in the future. and stay tuned for that take care of the they were brought together by chance. and they roots in the early ninety's and independence, free woman. and the mother of 10, in a strict patriarchy the sooner they can, they not assess. team dogs has been observing the lines of how dia and hit dorsey's ever since. this is lives that have been shaped by debris, tennessee of rule, and religious constraint. what he's telling me

to waste of my daughter's stuff june 22nd on d w. the . this is the world's 1st fund, sponsoring it's filled with 100 tons of sand. it can harness renewable energy storing. this says he's, and there are more in the planck time. click on a band here. i lots of sun further in the world. the sun bound for you is just one of a handful of feet. boundaries on demarcus who wants to use renewable energy when the sun isn't shining, or when the wind is blowing, then we need to have it stored. so we're looking at some simple se materials. harnessing energy as he's on this episode of transforming vistas based on here is

beside the point of the sun storage. this is the size of what would be the world's biggest sun battery like or it's about that they made us, it'll be toner, then it's neighboring. a wood chip burning turned here in the small town of poor 9 and in southern finland. we are outside to replace here about 60 percent of our districts eating photos for double chips. and then further is able to fax me copa john and head of a finished district, cheese and company that's invested in the sun battery technology. it's building the battery to store renewable electricity as he's when needed be he's will then be sent back in 2.9 and district teasing network 2 and a half. i always drive away in the west of finland. does the 1st son boss re ever built? it's 10 times smaller than the one to be built in 49, and it's a 4 major wide, 7 meters high steel silo with

a 100 tons of locally source fund inside. that's about the same way as a blue flower. sand is used here because there's lots of us in this area. sand is made up of lots of small particles with the large surface area because of this can store sheets very well. think of being on a beach in summer and how hot sun can feel underneath your face. the boss restores electricity in the sand as a range, $500.00 to $600.00 degrees celsius and can store it for weeks or months as a time. the sound used in base is low grade. i'm not suitable for construction. the company behind the technology is called or nice energy. we use electric recipes toast or heat air which is circulated through the sand. and then when the air is hold on, the sand is called, the heat is transferred from the s to the sand and then it's source there. when the case is needed, it's released this some battery is connected to a district,

teasing this rec, on heat homes in the area. if, if it keeps this local 20 finds me through swimming pools in a world driven by renewables. one study suggests that by 2040 storage solutions like sand batteries, will be able to store and supply up to 15 times more energy than today. otherwise, with too much wind and solar power, disproportionate situation in california might be repeated the world over. there is so much solar energy on the grid that electricity is sometimes actually being thrown out because of it. renewables are intermittent when the sun, the science for the wind, just in full force. there's lots of electricity being made. the trick is to capture that energy. when it's plentiful and not waste us on to channel that energy to people when they need us. whereas governments have agreed to triple renewables by 2030. and that's why we need large stationary storage solutions. thermal batteries

are said to be more suitable in holding large amounts of energy last longer under cheaper compared to lithium am batteries. they don't need where minerals. so just to recap in the thermo storage system, renewable electricity can be used to keeps up the material. that's especially good at capturing. he's and surrounding us with installation to make a source of joints per most and number of companies are playing with natural materials. for this we make individual breaks that are half a ton that store each of them stores more energy than the battery pack and adjust the model x. that's john o'donnell, head of rondo a company that makes bricks from kate, but function as heat batteries for industry. like the sun batteries to break store

energy as he's to be use laser as he's. but unlike to son, battery, the technology use for heating. the brakes can also convert the he's back into electricity. the brakes can store energy as a much higher temperature than this on battery, almost 3 times as high at one times and fife, 100 degree celsius. and because rondo provides the hottest drummel storage, that's even commercial operation. today, only our technology can re power coal fired power stations at their original turbine efficiency. the brake is used impacts for industrial processes, and bondo cents a single heat battery saves more carbon emissions per year than $8500.00 tesla electric vehicles. a report published earlier this year, i sent that electric thermal energy storage solutions could reduce up to 2 percent of energy related greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and up to 14 percent globally by

2050. and it's not just cheap batteries made of sand breaks, but brooks to a decent art station. a battery is made by friend miller are filled with crushed trunks and rolled ready connected to serve the needs of a hospital. they have a life span of 30 years. the us think rocks have had a lot of potential because they are their natural, they're abundant. you have them as a by product quite often and they have some nice thermal storage properties that, that make them attract. brent miller is one of the older companies doing heat storage. they are driven by harnessing green energy. but their primary drive is to make the process of making cheese less reliance on fossil fuels, especially for the industrial sector. heat generation or heating puddings over 50 percent. the energy we consume in the world that store and run miller, chief business officer of the company. in the industrial sector,

the numbers are even higher, goes up to 6070 percent, sometimes in the nations that they used to generate this theme or sheet. this is a crucial point. if thermal energy storage solutions can help decamp and nice industry, we're more likely to have a healthier promise and we'll go back to it later. for us to, to late this solar feels covering 700 headquarters has 10600 hugo stats and a 252 meter high tower. this area has some of the highest levels of solar radiation in the world. the plant is over 17 hours of thermal storage capacity using milton souls. the, during all the hours of sunshine, we stole thermal energy that is storing salt at $560.00 degrees celsius. in a very large tank and boom done paid more than the solar power is captured through the heat. here. stats ramirez, these reflects the sun's rays to the receiver,

the paces at the top of the tower there. the radiation is absorbed using a st. was codes, melton souls, and conversing the energy back into electricity to be used when need as someone went up and we are the director cold storage plan that with sunlight can generate electricity 24 hours a day. this means that you can feed a city like kilometers on which is all a neighboring city, and we have enough capacity to feed the city of kalama 24 hours a day. i'm a been the what the terminal boundaries are especially usefulness to kind of means of fossil fuels. remember, have the renewable energy harness to find the sound boundary, warren's the swimming, 2 infinitives for fly. it's important to talk about. he's, according to the international renewable energy agency, heating and cooling, make up half of the world's total energy consumption. significantly more than electricity and transportation. this, he's a mines to

a brand 40 percent of energy related to carbon dioxide emissions in industry. peace is the central trying for, for example, and past drawings in future preservice. projects like milk is treated with mines, he's usually less than $100.00 degrees celsius to eliminate pathogens and extend shelf life. at the higher end, still making for instance, requires he's one times and $600.00 degrees celsius. fossil fuels, current t drive, most of this. but thermal batteries are already stepping in instead. and the faster we can deploy wind and solar and put it to this purpose, we can build a future that is lower cost that is not volatile than price and it is 0 carbon. there is a copy as however, to thermal batteries, as we know know them. let's look at the sun box refreshed. this one leaves us about 30 percent of its energy and it's not, yeah,

it's capable of returning electricity is electricity. but as he's, as we've discussed on the bus, we can only be applied to less than 40 percent of industrial needs because of its lower temperature range. it's also worth remembering that funds the plentiful in this region of finland is a finite resource and govern signed extraction is driving erosion closing on the caps of coastal defenses. which is why the team and finland are exploring. sounds like materials for the new sons bass, re crushed soaps to a byproduct of a finished company. that makes fireplaces will be used as the storage medium with the brakes. while they come convert the stored energy into both peace and electricity. there is a carbon cost associated with making them, but found a sense to bounce, re cancel, signed the emissions generation and making us, and it's 1st month of use because of the he's of the breaks, the company kings that can be used instead of fossil fuels in 90 percent of

industrial processes, the use of molten souls, meanwhile to be used for storage, need a lot of energy to be kept toss. think back to the plant in chile, one of the places on the planet with the highest levels of solar radiation. rocks on the other hand, while they're not capable of storing cheese as high as the brakes and therefore analysis impactful and tackling industrial he's they are plentiful. so in many ways these rocks are or more or less free and have very, i would say, minimal environmental impact, whether it's fund brakes, bronx, or salt, terminal energy batteries, mark another step forward in the move away from fossil fuels. we are entering in error when the sustainability officer and the financial officer can love each other . what do you think of thermal proseries? let us know when the comments below. and if you likes this episode, please check out the transforming business playlist. for videos on topics,

just like this one, the 6 with tim sebastian, few countries of what's the war and ukraine more closely than poland, which was the time and again the poor thing was not film these borders. mean no one, listen my guess this week and more so justice, minnesota had them, but now i got over to you, but the warnings because the government has to use the same complex next on d, w to the point. strong opinions, clear position, international perspective. germany's leading industry looks to be losing speed

as its formerly venerable carmakers are overtaken by electric vehicles made in china or terrace. the answer find to hum to the to the point in 60 minutes on d. w. the cars, he's got issues with a lot say well, crazy. the, the, the innovation green,

the green revolution global. so listen to whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed if the carriers subscribe to the guy every friday. subscribe to plan. it's a last year. poland fucked. the trends in europe and ousted the far right law and justice policy for the pain and profit 8 years. but just how divided does the country remain and how wide it is the government that the far right party emerged in the european elections as the most popular among young people. my guess this week in most or is the justice minnesota adam. but now, my opinion on the we are maybe a little bit a little missing, a this kind of a vision of how to talk about liberal values. how to talk about you are up to 2 young to young voters, few countries of what's the war and ukraine more closely than poland,

which was the time. and again, the poor thing would much be on his.
