4:30 pm
so in the clouds, it's time and then when generation mash, dw documentary, the among fish eaters salmon is a popular option. it's in record demand as low in supply. thanks to over fishing. a modern human solution is to breed the animal instead of catching it in the wild. norway is home to the world's biggest salmon farm with our culture conditions being widely criticized. is there a humane way of farming the coveted fish? also coming up, lithium, a mineral, the future that is already near indispensable for modern industry. can a new processing plant make your if less dependent on china. deep under the surface of southern spain is an abundance of other raw materials in mines that have been
4:31 pm
lying idle for years plus tractors are going electric. but how do they fair in a field test? the know the new way above the arctic circle is i'm to hundreds of rivers and fields. i'm interested in nature. we're on our way to a gigantic fish farm noise, the world's biggest supply of semen providing 50 percent of global production. the fish bomb operated by north deluxe is located off the coast in the bar and see on how 6 breeding cages is the largest sale. se so many words. it's uh, 395 meters long. it's 50 meters wide and peak for that. and we have 10000 tons of sound when they are or 2 and i often see millions one here. at the
4:32 pm
same time, the nets extend 66 meters down into the sea. this facility avoids the chemicals commonly used elsewhere to protect the nets against the accumulation of organisms notice filing. yeah, and that's a clean by robots. so we will, how are we into the well sir? and then the start cleaning the p as well. so then that's the farm is run by 6 people working into ships. each of the 6 breeding cages contains around 350000, someone that fitted with underwater cameras and most of the operational activities that done by remote control. but just how crowded conditions for the fish the limit your search by the government. so yeah, can only have the maximum 2.5 percent of these and 97.5 percent of water we from a run that. so i would say 1.5 percent density at the application said that
4:33 pm
this would be good space interface. someone finds all controversial, but the wild variety is known, endangered species with stocks having declined to record lows. the next stage of our trip takes is a 1000 kilometers bunk down the coast. even here further south. it's still light. i've midnight the we make the spokesman for the norwegian, someone river association, who happens to be an average fisher. but he has little hope of catching anything these days. farm re summon, frequently escaped from the cages and tags in the process themselves, endangering while populations living in rivers. games with a while saw the gift of spring for life in the in nature and saw the event you for the 1st the goal falls and then they compete with the really wild
4:34 pm
selma which don't grow. so falls and then they die. they used to be over 2000000, someone in the ways, rivers. today they number just 400000 the fish bomb we visited is one of 40 conventional facilities operated by nor locks in the countries, fuels. a major problem with aqua cultures is contamination with parasites among done some of the lice and extreme cases that can cause must that send them to host and they're also transmitted to wild simon. tell a lie, folks are live official ser, for a longer period. so if you use fresh water for in a couple of hours, we're doing 12 hours with fresh walter. then the lice will lab who will die. ready some and live in both rivers on the sea and are safe from the lice and fresh water
4:35 pm
with the power. so i just cannot survive state of the art breeding facilities use. i control and robot places to identify the nice on that programs to ideally only hit the parasites. several shots required for denouncing some of that are infested with lice and escape from that cage pose a threat to the wild count of thoughts on have to be reported to the all star t's. we measure the scapes, so we talk to someone named force us, but we weren't able to catch 36 of them. so in total we only have 4 sound on that's we don't know where they are for the last few years. infectious diseases like more attendant disclose our another problem, which is why the fish or not collected on combat belts like this one. the conditions of comp tennessee, with several 100000, something in one tang make the fish connie's susceptible to disease. normally we run the mortality rates, let's say around 5 percent,
4:36 pm
4 to $6.00. so that last 5 years. but according to the norwegian veterinarians institute, the average mortality right across no white spot higher at 17 percent. and that's due to infectious diseases, but especially the impact of anti lice treatments on the fisheries bodies. one of the main reasons is handling you to treat plans again, some of us as that says remove solomon lice no entitled. so that's a treatment on that treatment is stressful for the fish. and then they can, for instance, general rooms of to the super sized farm we 1st visited is located not in the fuel it's but in the open ocean. the cooler pressure and moving water here apparently helps to reduce disease incidents until washed away settlement an extra much more effectively. plus the anti lice treatment is used here are less harmful to the fish . the adult, someone all picked up at regular intervals by
4:37 pm
a transport ship that brought on board via flexible tubes before being counted at the port stop, knock, nice. that pumped into the slaughter house still alive. after being stunned deficient cut them kills the fine to you, run 16 hours per day. and not time processing. 300 tons of someone from the nor like spawns. it's the 11 biggest summit of factory in the world, unemployed, 70 people for shift. some of the semen shipped to destination is around the world as whole fish see good yak ups in this head of production here. and the farmer says, bills and the
4:38 pm
other fish caught the heads and made 2 bones removed by a special machine. the smaller pin bones are then removed on the can buy about monthly automatically released operator or the bounce out of to be cut into portions. the resulting fil, a saw of insulted by a robot, according to white and grouped together for packaging. and 2023 north blocks posted prophets of almost 50000000 euros on a global scale. this is a multi $1000000000.00 industry demand for the fish remains on the up. but for all the cutting edge facilities, the better conditions and more investments in technology and medical research will be required to make some of the funding humane.
4:39 pm
there's a new kind of gold rush underway, not the precious metals, but critically raw materials of the future. chief among them is lithium, with its vital importance for high grade batteries of all manner of electric vehicles. and europe alone, projected demand will amount to a half a 1000000 tons. annually. germany will soon be opening its 1st lithium refinery. once it goes into operation, the near future plant will pose a challenge to china's dominance over the european markets. europe's pastoral green future has a problem. it's industry meets resources. this new listen processing plant in germany could be key to diversifying supplies to get ahead of battery production resources like lithium a crucial but chemical processing into battery great materials. this tricky that's for finer here in germany will be the 1st of its kind in europe. but the continents still remains largely dependent on china to source materials. china dominates
4:40 pm
refining with the alkaline metal with it, the know how for processing the material but to break free of this dependence, europe needs to build phone materials supply chains. here at angie's list seems frank, for the board, tory chemist, constantly monitor and test the refining steps, the design for processing the same hydroxide. the scientist here has come up with ways to filter out contamination from the listing that the company will later refine on a larger scale. the process is here in the lab will later work one to one and the industrial process. you press the material in here, then the cylinder spins really fast and as it rotates, the solution is forced out of the filter bag and only the dirt or the impurities remain. and my clean crystallize materials stays in here. that's basically the process. so frank,
4:41 pm
for face chemical company has been building its experience and these were finding steps for 5 years now. understanding precisely how each step works will make it possible for the scientists here to build out capacity away from the lab spot. you mean rocks from a mine in brazil sits at the beginning of mt lithium processing chain. and brazil, it's crowned up and processed and in the 1st place we ship this. what do you mean? concentrate is, is this the name for it to china? and the reason for this is simply because there is no other conversion planned. is able to, to use this material at this moment. and then we get back from china, a technical intermediate into the field. where we do the refining to, to find a better way to defend volume and the chemical industry town in germany, se
4:42 pm
a location em jeep picked to set up its industrial production with space to expand initial capacity 5 times they're still setting up shop here. and what may become europe's largest lesson refinery, where they are expecting to refine $20000.00 tons of lithium hydroxide per year in the 1st phase. but it's price is for the product crash. recently. investments are tough. people uh uh, very, very cautious putting money into listen projects at this point. because with the current price level, it's very hard to make an investment case. actually, the plant here receive some public subsidies, and european governments touched more money for building up the critical mineral sector. recently, european union scripts with raw materials act came into force aiming to eliminate dependence materials supply chains. its targets for 2030 on that 10 percent of
4:43 pm
materials should be mined in the you. 40 percent refined within the block. ready and 15 percent recycled here. ready in total, no more than 65 percent of a single materials should be source from one country alone. but despite the build up for finding capacities, the amount of money pledged doesn't yet match the need. the funds and suspects for an exam on the caps that can be single digit, any of your investments, just to 20 exception tonya. and he's looking for funding plan to jeremy's expect it to make it then and reaching those goals. they're starting to turn the tables on global materials supply chains, but they won't be able to walk it alone. the sourcing
4:44 pm
of raw materials is a growing issue for europe. the you and serbia have now signed a historic tact i'm lithium production. serbia has one of the cotton, its largest deposits, you know, for over $1000000.00 car batteries per year. for the e. u wants to diversify it supplies of other metals to which is why mining activity in southern spain is expanding to boost the use self sufficiency leaving scholars in the landscape. i'm with a history of ecological disasters and economic decline. and to lose use mines could now be a crucial boost europe self sufficiency. but at what price? this dump truck can transport and $90.00 tons of rubble from the depths of the rio to into mine, from a single trip and, and around the clock operation. the romans were the 1st to mine, metals here,
4:45 pm
follow the centuries like to buy british companies. i've seen in some of the local architecture. for years the mine was out of operation due to a couple of prices being too low. markets sensitivity is a general problem with minus, okay, as the local man, no soul to, well, most up in the, those samples of a, then we were always dependent on what the mine was closed door open again. so we've had golden times, but difficult ones to say no, you don't want me to come in my muckle because the cup constitutes just 0.38 percent of the rock here. but the enormous effort involved in extracting the metal is not worth while. thanks to market prices, having recovered a blessing to the local community task and looking to see what was young people can now stay here. unlock the times when they would move elsewhere or even emigrate video game, you get out in the case it. in addition to economic uncertainty, another worry is the mines toxic legacy. a rock residue you across the vast site
4:46 pm
lies in water, contaminated with heavy metals for environmental. there's a growing danger to people that laza people go to the retention base and you can see here with these down. so what would already be banned in south american countries? like july and brazil. so america take on what she like them over. i see harvesting 53000 tons of copper concentrate means grinding down 18000000 tons of rocks. yes, a year. the main via is china, while the mind spigot shareholder is a global commodities group. based and singapore, the commitment to europe and self sufficiency, evidently has limits well underneath you as mine, so be expected to help precisely that cause riches enough soil are a treasure for on the lose your, on the european energy transition. new legislation in a you aims to ensure that 10 percent of its strategic role materials is source for men, the countries and resources which on the lucia
4:47 pm
a new metro rush is on the way. there are a lot of projects here that would be relevant to the new york and the whole set, because on the lose, you have 17 of the 30 critical minerals back, which is why that will be new mines will be no longer tearing huge crate is in the end to lose your landscape, of a couple of mine located to just 20 kilometers away from seville, reflects the changes in the sector. everything is in place for future mining operations on the ground where there was still enough deposits of copper. that means in it uh, may not be on the ground. mine is obviously less visible where of the opinion that this is the most sensible, profitable, unsustainable option. what is along with, i mean that's what the value of the mind also serves as an example of the potential more than 10 a year ago. the company was still producing q a compet here, despite money having ceased 3 years earlier. the singles have young,
4:48 pm
we'd put the extraction rock in dry storage. in the previous 3 years, we processed it again, which enabled us to produce $20000.00 tons of compa. i mean, i mean, they go relatively deep and once the mind starts producing underground again, it won't just be for compa. the operator has developed a chemical process that extracts the materials from the rock using land and silver . the company has also started upon the project to extract the material of vital importance to electron mobility and other industries. cobalt. it works with the help of bacteria in monday, august 25th, and the material we worked with is waste material from previous processing vehicles . right now we're using the residue some couple or containing those metals equal the nicholas. i mean, don't, then you go to the doctor's office, give them dinning and told me that it and not waste material is available in almost unlimited quantities in the region, including from the rio,
4:49 pm
10 to mines dump sites. i have sizable wastewater pines, valuable as the metals may be for modern society. however, environmental, they have great concern title for you because it's not letting me do it. the, i'm only like sticking out hundreds into the ground to mine minerals that if it's harmful to the environment, can you help me with it's necessary for economic reasons is open to debate. decide yes, even in the society a economy going on. those concerns are understandable in 1998 and down this not far from civil of which only these ruins remain is what is contaminated lodge expenses of land and nature preserves. to date, the company responsible has still not been brought to justice. 26 years on the other money companies and non derucia are making efforts to take environmental protection seriously. on the dumb sides by the mon outside seville, on now being cleared away,
4:50 pm
the full of the unsightly crate to its building again. to the point of all that digging in drilling is to burn less fossil fuels and reduce emissions principles. it's also starting to bear fruit in the farming industry to every year. germany's farm vehicles come by millions of tons of pollutants in the country. south. one farming couple has developed a prototype electric tractor that is cleaner and quieter. that's what the diesel truck to sounds like. and that's what comes out alongside it and electric truck to making a different kind of noise with 0 exhaust. it was designed by your honda until they asked by a hair in bavaria. and it's that contribution to a potential revolution in farming machines. the toddles prototype with
4:51 pm
a $160.00 horse power is being put through its paces at the so comic farm outside the unit, the the truck to can run for 5 to 8 hours on a single charge. well, there's the actual idea is not saying you want to put me in the m k. go ahead. can we help him? i have his family background informing you. i used to help out a lot when i was growing up and also my adult life and sold a large amount of electricity being generated almost 5 different type of thing. so it makes sense to use that to like tricity right here instead of feeding into the grid. and the electric truck to it does cost up to 50 percent more than a diesel powered machine box. it's an investment. the rest of the pays of the says develop has the help cost, but so ever its entire operational life. the principal costs for a tract, uh, as
4:52 pm
a fuel energy on the cup and those costs would self generate to the electricity around 70 to 80 percent cheap. tons of people 10 goods to go said the additional cover to pay themselves off up to just 2 to 3000 hours of operation house and look forward to putting the electric tractor to its fast. real test is comfortable because in books, not the solar panels on the roots of his phone cover almost his entire electricity to mom's, the in the queue, nothing. he's had this movie stick of a value energy self sufficiency because it gives me great to financial security setup in vida, and for one locked one. and it means i'm less vulnerable to market fluctuations on the grid, just getting from the electric truck to would make him even more self sufficient with high diesel prizes, then no longer in a shape. i'm the cowardice comes with another advantage. elect them with the ones
4:53 pm
that i've ever bought. the electric devices are easier to service and have less why? i'm going to go 1st lies. i think that it looks that they don't stay in core. i met so 2 sides. the less the 2. i don't need any onto pollution out the test because that cleans all that. but that is one drawback. tree comp deliver enough energy when it comes to plowing fail to other heavy duty jobs. defend from the 500 a p truck to run, continue in the, at the high levels. so it couldn't be replaced by about and train for the notes in the foreseeable future. what's currently available technology farming is the often up to about a type of mark. so here the solution would be a fuel cell or a diesel generator. looking at auto defense levels, you're kind of by a, runs the marketing side of things. you tried to initially struggle to find any bias but with german diesel subsidies to the agricultural sector on the way out. she explains a growing number of palm is having everything that's going on and that there's been
4:54 pm
a change of responses and in the quest to and then 60 for that we do now see a clear increase in appreciation of the new technology for its many advantages. for the future, it's actually on the financial firms that tyler to house makes may just ask who manufacturers and now also joining the move towards elect to flying agricultural machinery and thomas cons overvalued some books that is already thinking a step ahead. he's planning to use the ta, this is bob tree to supplement his solar power generation system. as the tractor is nothing you spend most of the day, it can forward it to electricity to his home and farm buildings. a can now locate where you'll photos were taken. 3 us students, both in a on a level called vision that estimates the location of any picture it receives. it is inspired by the popular online game to get to the use a is placed anywhere in the world on google street view and have to guess the
4:55 pm
location in the game. in imagery. i technician a guy with a basis test of around 500000 street view images was trained by the students. the results are the ownership. the model picks the correct country, 95 percent of the cases, and usually picks the notation within around 40 kilometers is the correct spot. while this could be used in many constructive ways, the risk of governments could check your photos to know where you'd have been. so hang on to view, so also obvious threats and remember this is just the student's project. google is in possession of around 220000000000 street view images. and that's it for this edition of made from beginning for resources to the future to farming fish. otherwise, in low supply on industrial scale, and changing to the wheel of a tractor that's low on noise and emissions developments connecting business and
