efficient and renewable energy in all sik to us what renewable energy comes at a cost to the on equal india let's critically analyze this alternative hello welcome krp. the latest soviet by the government of india reveals that 13 percent of its 1300000000 citizens don't have access to create electricity in the last decade states and. the hydro power to close the gaps in electrification with many of us crisscrossing this region hydro power potential is huge but this clean energy narrative is now being challenged on the grounds of adverse effects. pritam singh is angry with the government and its promise of environmentally friendly energy he lives on the same street a small tributary. within 20 years the. 100

hydroelectric stations 2 of them on the things. you're not talking to begin to be. a benefit and develop the idea in the book was under. the bed the. table don't forget you there's no water in the. environment. and everything has been destroyed we have been left with nothing you can. change really doesn't seem they were promised compensation jobs in this to. which would traditionally based on agriculture. with the 2 hydroelectric plants on the same ship that is nowhere near enough to speak. and do more under construction . going down but i'm taught agriculture but

before this on a diet depended on culture and we never had to call it is anything from the market instead you would money by setting up the knowledge that our land is not we. depend on the market to access basic amenities like this has been a huge. they didn't but see in the next. 20 as an environmentally friendly baba souls hydroelectric plants have become an important generator for electricity around the world in 3rd place behind coal and gas and that also makes them a lucrative source of income and much of predation the state government grants and over 9000000000 rupees that is 100000000 euros in electricity revenues. and one member of it's not a god the hydro boom with the skepticism good monsoon research is the effect it's had on biodiversity and people's lives in the region. you

have made them so it's have been negative impact on the environment around them and has been expropriated it's been submerged in water that means sources who would like. to destroy that is larger scale. structure and any. and that. you keep. on top of that the region is prone to it looks breaches avalanches and landslides will be catastrophic for the people living here as recently happened neighboring iraq and the state. that it would be done lies only 40 kilometers away from the saints of any and other small tributaries but it flows through untouched nature it's one of the few in the region but no hydroelectric plant.

that's tanks during jeev part of the in 2002 a number of hydroelectric power stations along that have not given planning permission. the villagers and went to court. everybody was on the project called up all your teachers. and all the bureaucracy also like to see everybody is. dead and the c's except a ph d. department nor benny ph comes through to look good in my rarely if world or private investors would have taken the. electricity with a natural right to their own just everything they're willing to pay. the villagers won their case though it took 3 years their homes and livelihoods have been preserved the still live off agriculture and fishing and in recent years there have also stopped just

hydro plant operators promise time and compensation. anglers hikers birdwatchers and the study mostly from india come to see the mariana species. it's in the environment the bullet has defended so well. it's not just in india where there's a problem just what a 5th of the energy used in heating and cooling in the european union comes from renewable sources and like in india this shit is said to grow in the coming years but when it comes to wind turbines some citizens in greece are reluctant construction of hundreds of wind turbines are planned on creek islands and badminton and local residents have some serious concerns. it is said that the greek island of tinos says handmade because of its centuries old walls and paths and the architect you want to publish the top of them is absolutely determined to protect

this unique cultural asset so here we can see if it becomes food but for the most made out of dr stone walls before us used to give access to all be on their ships around them it's something that we are trying to take a band that's now in order to develop working towards the windmills and the so-called pigeon houses built by her ancestors 300 years ago are now supposed to give way to winds turbines. they want to shows us the site where private investors have just completed the foundations for 3 large turbines with another 15 planned. you wanna and many other islanders fear tino's could lose its typical character. and scenario. class to decide what to do are we going to produce a bit of pass with on to next generation so we are going through the mall use most

of the 4 modern constructions or other projects like the wind turbines are the army not far from the plant turbines is home to sculptor mater valley os and his family he. years for the future of greece's cultural heritage. suddenly denounces used to always be the seat of the gods and now they have been supplanted by money and everything is about making money. the expert at the. he shows us videos of protests he helped to organize a special police unit beach demonstrators including him with nightsticks a shopping experience. 2 hours away by ferry the island of the country is best known for its unspoiled nature its mountains include protected areas teeming with rare plant life. here to be a deliberate scene could end. the private nameless group is planning $110.00 wind

well. if wind turbines are built here bank airless will have to move away with this piece. this. be banned for the billions. i couldn't put their boxes near the wind turbines because of the electromagnetic radiation. which could make them lose their orientation. on the side of the mayor's office is aware of the concerns it met with farm investors 9 years ago to little avail the activity so neighboring islands worry the mayor a few small wind turbines might be tolerable but 110. $1000000.00 we would protest and that's not just my own personal opinion. all the officials in the municipal council and local live ministration a grade. the 1st turbines are standing by 2025 because it is meant

to be connected to athens via an underwater cable now the investor is supposedly revising the plans to make them environmentally friendly but few believe that. they fear that landscapes like this could soon become a thing of the past. it is a dilemma on the one hand people are protesting because of the problems caused by renewables and there's a need to dramatically cut dollars our carbon dioxide emissions because climate change is causing the world's temperature to rise that's a fact we need to move quickly if we have to keep the rights to 1.5 degrees celsius to limit its impact some scientists say that we also need to actively suck massive amounts of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere but capture and storage is controversial at best is it really a wobble option let's take

a. we know. too much carbon dioxide into the. but to wouldn't it be amazing if we could find a way to suck it all up and send it back deep underground. climate scientists are now saying that without such technology we won't get our climate dockets. turns out this seemingly cutting edge idea to capture carbon is actually decades old. the u.s. navy used capture as a way to clear the air inside submarines and space shuttles that filled up with 2 from the breasts of soldiers and astronauts. you may remember that scene of the movie apollo 13 where suddenly they had to build a c o 2 scrubbing system bosio 2 levels and getting toxic just 2 gentlemen down where to put a square peg in a round hole and they dumped all the stuff out

a table and said guys we have 3 hours to figure out how to make us your construction like we have the technology already on the spacecraft like we know how to do things morden carbon capture technology is basically this c o 2 scrubber on a bigger scale like this plant in south india. the polluted air is sucked into the industrial system through into. after being cleaned for impurities in. transported towards the absorption plant where it is cool and then sends to a liquid solvent that absorb c o 2 which is then moved further into the plan for processing while the. which is mostly only want to. do is later stripped out of the solvent and can be used to make other products. used to heat greenhouses even as a fuel. you can capture right at the source of the pollution like the indian factory where they burn coal and strip the c o 2 out of the emitted small and diverted to the adjoining tree this is called

point source capture hundreds of pilots and small scale facilities and over 50 plants around the world are currently doing this then there is direct where big fans suck large amounts of polluted air directly out of the atmosphere 15 plants are currently doing this worldwide but experts say the potential is huge. even if the c o 2 is emitted again like when the fuel is bond it is considered carbon neutral as it hasn't added to the c o 2 that would have entered the air anyway the better thing to do for the environment of course is to prevent emissions from ever entering the air so companies are now working to inject carbon deep into the ground in a process. that can preserve it there indefinitely. and this is considered a negative as it actively removes carbon from the atmosphere and this also has pretty ironic consequences but more on that later we know from the arithmetic of

climate. that we need much of the. friedman is one of the foremost experts on carbon capture who served in the u.s. department of energy he says not to remove. needs to start now and the leading climate body the i.p.c.c. agrees in their latest report they declared that the world will not meet its climate target without active carbon capture and remove the. original carbon sucker's trees can play a role but considering the space and water needed and the fact that they are always in the risk of being cut down anyway the experts believe they can only play a fractional role. so the focus is now on the deck version of trees direct i capture machines that are springing up around the developed world canadian company

carbon engineering plans to launch the biggest commercial capture plant in 2022. where they were doing a plant and. then one many. in the atmosphere each year. currently direct i capture companies worldwide capture in 1000 tons of c o 2. so carbon engineering's goals are massive. been effectively. it is usually way to me to invent technologies available in the questionnaire chumley's general market right now. and i think that brings me back to what carbon engineering function is in the brain which is making it up policy incentives and that's the reason not everybody is already sucking carbon out of the air all over the world estimates vary but at the moment because of the $200.00 to remove a ton of c o 2 to direct and capture. to scale up the industry companies see their need to be

better financial incentives. these can ringback come either in the form of credits offered by the government in exchange for removing the harmful substance from the air. all in caps or carbon can be traded at a good price on the market. does a good also come from taxing companies that allow the carbon out. fumes to escape. and that. combination of these measures has well. 4 norway introduce a tax on pollution almost 30 years ago which has now incentivized a number of large companies to capture the carbon setting them on a quick carbon neutrality. seacoast ration has also been carried out in monitored in iceland for over 20 years allowing exports to conclude that the process is safe for all practical purposes and the space available underground is virtually limitless. other companies in europe as well as canada and the us are catching up

but it's early days and this brings us to the not so climate friendly consequences of sequestration in the absence of large incentives from governments capture and sequestration companies are collaborating with paradoxically. big oil companies. what you need is a question you need so many of and. one of the places still about old oil and a way that the owners of those assets can be wiling up companies well that's a very strategic region and to go down. to use their existing outfit. at the same time putting the captured c o 2 into the ground builds up pressure and makes it easier for even more oil to be extracted in a process called enhanced oil recovery. up to 88 percent of carbon captured in sequester the moment is used to extract more oil and this makes investing in carbon

capture financially viable for these oil companies. worry about the big or go wrong with her capture dan kammen is an expert on clean energy who has spoken out about big problems with this kind of more fossil through companies can she. be just. there. there are many other problems through industry in addition to greenhouse gases there's local air pollution there's water pollution just so finding a way to. cure all is essentially finding a way to continue. the science is clear and then we need to actively remove carbon from the air but we don't broad public support the government incentives these dicked on the g.'s remain in the hands of private investors who will only go away the profits. to keep the technology

going we need to ensure a clever combination of incentives for normal companies taxing polluters and pricing for you to hire. a scientific solution therefore a human made problem but not all must lose. i have to be like that as humans we have an immediate connection to nature something that's perhaps been lost through the creek concrete and pricks of our architecture but there are those who are trying to change that in amsterdam architects are going back to our roots with biophilia besides what does that really mean let's take a. word instead of concrete curves rather than hard edges a style of architecture that loves life. the result of building according to the principles of buying a philip architecture. jacket more garcia know is the

architect of the freebooter or booker near in the ditch city of amsterdam one of the key elements of a by you feel icky approach is to create direct connection with nature and we created by using the natural materials. that simulates or are connected with these really an experience to be true to nature. wooden slats to run around the entire building ensuring optimal lighting conditions and privacy the sense movement was monitored for a whole year so the slats could be aligned perfectly. another fundamental concept of prior for like architecture is that interior and exterior space should merge into one as soon as we you know we wake up in this in this room we can already open up. and have a direct connection to the tyros and to the natural element of the water.

the freebooter especial construction method only cost about 10 percent more than a conventional $12.00 families move here each with $120.00 square metres of living space. they enjoy a special indoor climate and a house with close to 0 energy consumption thanks to state of the art technology. especially like this room because the sun move around to house your new day at the end of the day it ends here and the light is very beautiful in this room it's not just the light that special the house appeals to all the senses. when people come to visit almost everybody wants to touch this part. it's girl it's moot people love it. how the concept isn't only finding

favor napster down these days greener buildings are built in many places using wood and other natural materials owners and architects try to integrate the surrounding nature into their constructions even if not always under the label biofilm like architecture. g.m. or garcia and i was already thinking on a much larger scale as with this current project my toe since it involves living units that can be extended at will. it has so many benefits there's a high demand for those kind of the buildings who are really foresee there in the future there was there would be more and more buildings designed with the biofuel approach. though. freebooter residents have no doubt that their quality of life has improved since moving in.

her. life changes spaces change and there's so much more curvy ness so the whole experience is completely different i think more calming. perhaps and more player who played. by a film like architecture provides a green and holistic approach to living space. and architectural concept with a future. like in every other relationship we have our relationship with. quality driven and not 22 but if we treat her new energy as just another to do on the list without on the stunning its impact you may have to solve problems that he signed up for

think about that and i'll see you again next week for my entire team in india and germany goodbye.
