discovery, substantial documentary featuring the oil company, clean oil is doing something extraordinary. on the slightly gas platform in the north sea. it pumps millions of tons of carbon dioxide onto the sea that the greenhouse gas that threatens to warm the planet is simply bunkered away. and ecuador has plans to sequester even more carbon dioxide just toward it. in the north sea is large enough to substantial part is not everything that

comes out of your can that work will ships with c o 2, soon be going to norway to sink our climate problem under the whole state of the technologies exist, but do they really advance climate protection, or are we just buying time? according to the intergovernmental panel on climate change, we can only image to maximum of around $300000000000.00 tons of c o 2. if the rising global temperature is to stay below $1.00 degrees celsius, we're currently releasing around 42000000000 tonnes a year. if we carry on as before, the c o 2 budget would be used up in around 8 years by 2028 steps like closing coal fired power plants, expanding the use of renewable energy sands. switching to electric cars will cause

c o 2 emissions to decrease. the more ambitious we are, the more they go down. but keeping the increase below $330000000000.00 tons seems a hopeless cause and it means there'll be more c o 2. that has to be removed from the air. we've only need reforestation. we have to think about how to deal with our bonds, but that won't be enough out. so when we are here to us, if we cut our c o 2 emissions and half every decade, you will still have to remove several 100000000 tons of c o 2 from the atmosphere by the end of this century. 1000000 antonymous here, it's why. so we have to ask ourselves, are we going to put it on as once hard work in norway has a lot of experience removing and storing c o. 2 clean or extracts natural gas on

a peninsula near hammerfest, the northernmost city in europe. and today a son, jake is in charge of the plant. he's proud that away has been found here to get rid of c o 2, but also to deliver an immense amount of fossil energy to europe. it is amazing. it's a lot of work and i'm sure, and i'm sure 1st 50 or 60000 times for a whole year. and that's about $1.00 gigawatts. so it's summer as a c o 2 is always a byproduct of natural gas extraction. but the crucial thing here is that it flows back under the north sea. the system is controlled, remain the from the command center. there's no offshore platform. one pipeline

brings natural gas to the plant, while another carries c o 2, back to the sea. in the gas stream, calling him about 6 percent. this is quite unique about this because we remove the seal to the dryer than compress it, push it back to a separate dresser, are offshore for permanent storage, almost a year, but the store per month in us. offshore 43 kilometers. so the state owned company that made norway, one of the richest countries on earth, would like to benefit from this experience a clean or is in the process of establishing a new business model. it calls the project northern lights as early as 2023,

the 1st ships will bring c o 2 from european industry to norway. a new pipeline descends steeply from the coast, then runs 110 kilometers along the sea floor to a point where the greenhouse gases are injected. 2500 meters deep into the north sea. sediment is responsible for the new field of business. it's his job to lead the company into the future. norway, it's seen as an opportunity to actually continue to use steady sources in the north sea. not us in the deeper why there are isis storage for why they're for industrial c o 2. construction of the pumps has started, and the 1st test drilling has been done. the gigantic northern lights project is meant to pave the way for the large scale storage of c o. 2. in its initial goal is

to free europe's industries from greenhouse gases. if we succeed and we have the opportunity to actually help clean up quite a few of the industries that have no other option. and we've really allowed these industries actually to, to stay here in europe. it's hard to see a bird without still. it's hard to see a future without cement. they are essential and they need to need to arm myself well. even if steel production switches to renewable energy sources, there will always be an amount of c o 2 left as a, from the manufacturing process. looking at german industry as a whole, this remaining c o 2 accounts for around 7 percent of c o 2 emissions. if europe is serious about climate protection, these emissions must also be stopped. but is it realistic that freighters will

bring c o 2 from germany to norway? today there are only 4 ships, like the froyo worldwide told me. pedersen is responsible for loading the tanker in the norwegian port of porsche going it takes on c. otu that was released during the production of fertilizes talent. out of the gas is delivered to the food industry which uses it in beer and fizzy drinks, for example. or for cooling today see it too is a commodity in small quantities after the gas is being cooled and compressed, the fry, a transport sits in liquid form. the tank holds $1500.00 tons of c o 2. assuming that all of the carbon dioxide produced by german industry would be

transported by ships like the foyer, around a 100 of these tankers would have to travel from germany to norway every day. but that's not a problem for the specialist. in c. already. it will be just a cost more whole size of the ship from, let's say so if the technology there were just the right size of the ship. so shipping c o 2 to norway is plausible. but with those millions of tons of greenhouse gases really stay put into the ocean floor. this is the key in eastern germany, professor didn't has many objections to the idea of sinking our greenhouse gases

using technical processes. he believes our priority should be to restore natural c o 2 stores, such as baltics. we have to get away from the illusion that we can do business as usual and develop a technology that compensates for a while since euston is done. he's researched folks all over the world, works on the intergovernmental panel on climate change and is known as the pete pope. here used in tries to understand the origin and development of bugs in the meta sic clay is of pete. these are actually my favorite people to taste the shrek. and these a lot of people more says they taste very fine,

often sulfurous sulfide like it's part of court. and of course, we have to use all of our senses to better understand nature, you know, to we always think that we need a lot of devices to measure things. but we shouldn't forget that we can do an incredible amount with our eyes and ears, noses and our mouths is really forgotten. there are hardly any places like this left in germany. 99 percent of bugs have been drained and thus destroyed. this is made them climate killers because all the petes that a bug like this stores is then gradually released into the atmosphere. part of course, that's pure stored carbon. half of this plant matter consists of carbon, and that's stored away. then grows up layer by layer with us in the order of half a millimeter to one millimeter per year over thousands of years to all of these

layers, a meter's think and contain a great deal of carbon. that's pure climate protection, which this only applies to intact bugs. since almost all bugs in germany have been drained, they give off a lot of greenhouse gases, almost 6 percent of total emissions, more than air traffic. and we calculated that if we restore water to drain bugs, we will be able to compensate for even more than the warming caused by c o 2 emissions since the industrial revolution. and so both agree we're seeing is a very important step along with creating cooling systems. for a world that is getting warmer anyway, that would be desirable. but how would it be possible to restore boggs to their natural state in an industrialized country like germany,

the largest oil and gas deposits in the north sea, off the coast of starving that in no way the plans would mean pumping would continue here. but in the opposite direction, after those deposits are eventually exhausted. but with the c o 2 from european industry really stay underground or will it become a time bomb? i think we can use the example that oil and gas is in the ground and it stays there until we try to take it out. and what we're doing essentially is the reverse. we are replacing c o 2 in the ground. the headquarters of the norwegian petroleum directorate is also here in stuff and it makes decisions on the resources on the north sea issues drilling licenses and inspects rock formations. free just

released as a geologist who has long been searching in the drill core archive for the optimum sediment into which the 1st industrial carbon dioxide will be injected. we have been looking at possible storage options for many years. i think i started with this in 2006 and one of the 1st just from our side was information because it's it is a good sandstone. it as we are looking, can't touch it or feel it and feel it is sand with a lot of poor space between the grains under the north sea. the poorest of the sandstone are filled with water. most of the injected c o 2 dissolves in it, turning it into sparkling water. the bigger the poor, the easy at the gas can spread well with your own. just blowing it and see if it

can and you can get some air through it. and this is quite good. no, i don't need to too much force on my blow to get there through the you. hansen formation, which is intended to absorb the c o 2 lines below the troll field. a gas deposit that contains another 30 years supply of the fossil fuel in between a several layers of dense shale rock base of an automation. look at it above the coal bed here somewhere, anything. because of the gas production from a straw field, the pressure is fully in this more shallow means even if there should be a little bit of the crucial c o 2. from this one, it cannot escape from the under pressure in the overriding sense.

so far everything has been going well with the storage of c o 2 in norway at the slightly gas drilling platform. more than $1000000.00 tons of c o 2 have been pumped back underground every year for 25 years. the northern lights project aims to start with $1500000.00 tonnes per year. if you look at the sheer magnitude of the problem globally, there is a need for our facilities. and we're talking hundreds of millions of tons per year that needs to be handled. carbon capture and storage chilled c.c.s. . it's also been researched in germany. a 2017 experiment was a success. the c o 2 remained in the ground under kit seen in eastern germany, but it raised fears of earthquakes and escaping gases. since then, the storage of c o 2 has been politically dead in germany. even the search is essentially for him, put it into it seen in can see more. i was also deeply involved in the safety

council did it. i would have gladly built most of the storage facility at any time without any were told or negate us all. roger been worried if i put it in the wrong place in the wrong way with the wrong target. it's clear that countries like germany that emit a lot of c o 2 also have to take responsibility for it. he says c.c.'s is indispensable, is get upset. so, you know, there are estimates that in europe we have enough storage space for 1000 years for a c o 2 emissions. moment. at the moment we have c.c.'s as a good alternative. if someone has a better one in 30 years, all the better. but right now we have to improve the technology so that it's safe and is also controlled safely. once used in this top priority, when it comes to climate protection is to return the bugs to their natural state

and thus stop their c o 2 emissions. when they're taken it's region near where stuck on the eastern german coast, he's researching how i really whetted balkan become the c o 2 store. again, in the long term, the trips a bob was drained over the centuries. this allowed oxygen to penetrate the bog soil and break it down. that released a lot of carbon. it was reflooded 20 years ago for free wash jury in the period. it was without water. it was a system in decline, corrected. we've calculated that. we lost 2.7 meters of peat at this location over the last few decades. and now we're looking to see whether we can not only stop these processes, but also turn them around in order to get new peak formation. acquire water levels, top of the scale of the problem is vast. half of northern germany has

been drained to grow potatoes or corn, or to graze animals. a check. ted then emits as much c o 2 in a single year. 29 tons as a car does in a typical lifespan of 200000 kilometers. in hank house and in the northwest landscape ecologist is investigating what happens when a drained cold is flooded. again, he discovered that at 1st it produces methane, another very dangerous greenhouse gas. 4 to a few years the methane emissions decrease and then the ball begins to store c o 2 over the long term just extrapolated that for all areas that are currently drained globally. and you can see very clearly that

the faster we return water to the bar, the better it is for the climate. for the drained, make up 7 percent of arab will land in germany. is it even possible to turn back time? if we take climate protection seriously, we have no alternative to it. dusty when you understand that agriculture on bogues in germany causes annual climate damage of 7400000000 euros corresponds exactly to the total added value of the whole of agriculture. then you have to ask yourself, what are we doing here for barneys, if there's an activity that causes $789000.00 euros damage per hectare is allowed and even subsidized. because of course, these greenhouse gases that are in the cities must be compensated for somewhere else. somebody else has to pay for it. it won't be

easy to restructure agriculture and convince farmers to turn huge areas of farm land into wet bugs again. if we follow the norwegians plan for dealing with c o 2, europe will soon have lots of facilities like the claymates rude waste to energy pound. here c.l. 2 is filtered from the flue gases. this could serve as a model for other industry sectors that have not yet been able to make their production carbon neutral. yanni could be a because initiated the c.c.'s project at the waste to energy plants in 2014 other problems. i believe that it's meaningful to work with this building because this would actually make a difference. and this is something we need to do in order to basically save,

save this world. because once to prove that it's possible to remove c o 2 from industrial emissions, the waste to energy plant releases 400000 tons of c o 2 every year. the small pilot plant can only collect 1000 tons of it the year, but that shows that it can work always comes to the capture rates. technology has proven to be extreme. and you have managed to capture more than 95 percent of the c o 2. from the pilot plants, when it comes to the energy use, it's quite an idjit demanding i that usually makes capturing c o 2, very expensive, but that's not a, i'm here in the waste to energy plant. there's an abundance of waste heat here. the big challenge is to make capturing c o 2 economical it sharing the flue gases,

there's only 5 to 10 percent. it's important to find the right chemicals that combined and enrich the c o 2. they are then removed with heat. and he used again because it's quite costly today because we are at the very beginning of the developments. there are only a few plants today, and none of them are actually on in industrial sources. the biggest challenge is that today the economy is not favoring handling of c o 2. it is a more attractive business voice simply to the c o 2 high price. the c o $2.00 could make carbon capture and storage increasingly attractive, since around top of the waste in this waste to energy plant consists of biomass. c,

o 2 is even in directly extracted from the and because when this biomass grows, it absorbs c o 2. and if this is trapped during incineration and bunkered away, it reduces the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. we've got c o 2 negative, and we know that we need to develop c o 2 negative solutions in order to reach the paris agreement. so waste to energy, the waste energy business can be very important in that matter. so this is what the future of getting c o 2 out of the atmosphere could look like. houston is in his favorite place, the calendar off meadows. here you can see how pete than scrope in their natural what state they don't release c o 2 but instead absorb it. and yet they can still be used for agriculture by growing reads. a lot can be made out of these 3 grooves

plastics. bio gas for your home, which shoes are reeds, are an example of a plant that can be harvested sustainably without damaging the gulf war. there are already many ideas about what can be cultivated in bogs, in hand housing, in western germany. knowledge areas of mosques are being cultivated for the 1st time on every rhetoric. balck, after almost says that the natural vegetation on people can they be grown and harvested like any other field crop. the search for the best most is for agricultural cultivation is underway on the edge of the trial area. team grow muscles from all over the world here. they aim to find the ones that grow as well and this quickly as possible in this way. they also absorb c o 2 and turn the bugs

into sinks with greenhouse gases. however, it will take more from us is to become a profitable product effect. so our loans have been strong, direct payments to support and subsidies for farmers are not yet established. it's almost, i remain, my dear, but it does show here on the demonstration farm and this is actually feasible was much as well as what we can harvest into large scale implementation really depends on political will, on further technological development of and on finding the super bosses most for want as a replacement for white pete, pete was once made from us and horticulture needs huge amounts of it so much that germany's trained dogs are not enough. and most of the peat is imported from the baltic. states. in about 15 year is the german peach will be completely exploited. then an alternative will have to be found. most is a piece substitute would be

a double benefit for the climate. no more emissions from peta extraction and the most is buying c o 2 from the own methods of binding c o 2 must be researched without prejudice. time is running out
