lion and now into double figures for consecutive bodies, legal titles, a level of dominance unparalleled in modern football. this is of course d, w. news live from berlin up next is shift living in the digital age, looking at rural solar energy and drones that plant trees. there's plenty of more for you on our website, d, w dot com. i'm nick spicer. thanks for watching. ah, not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day and in depth look at current news, events analyzed by experts and critical thinkers. and this is the weekdays on d w. imagine how many portion of lunch are thrown out in the world. climate

change any off the stores. this is my pleasure, the way from just one week. how much was can really get we still have time to go. i'm going all with. what 5th? a kite that transforms went into energy, a vacuum cleaner, that pulls c o 2 out of the air and drove the plum tree. digital innovations that combat climate change. our topic to day on shift ah, to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees celsius. greenhouse gas emissions must be nearly half by 2030. this is what the intergovernmental panel on climate change has recently

reported. the consequences are a huge forest fires melting polar ice caps and devastating floods. only by consistently avoiding using oil gas and other fossil fuels. can we stop the trend or could digital innovations help humanity? some of them sound too good to be true, like the seo to a vacuum cleaner. ah, near iceland capital reykjavik, a plant the actively removes you to from the air has been operating since 2021. the technology behind it is called direct air capture. each collection times extract the carbon dioxide with high tech filters and fans. first, they use heat to separate the carbon dioxide. then it is mixed with water and injected deep into the earth. the air, the carbon cools and solidifies, and no longer contributes to global warming. the plant is the largest of its kind.

i can capture and bind $4000.00 tons you turn per year, but it meets a lot of energy. iceland is night deal location because it has both hydro and geothermal resources. renewable energy is abundant and cheaper. it's the only sensible way to run the plant. we are committed to use only renewable energy, so we don't want to emit c o 2 while capturing c o 2. the plant we have in iceland, it's if, since he is hired and 90 percent, which means that for one tom, we are capturing, we admit about 10 percent. so we make about 100 kilo plane works 1st direct here capture plant went into operation in 2017 at the swiss site. the c o 2 was not stored in the ground but uses fertilizer in nearby greenhouses. this closes the carbon cycle and prevents more carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

an impressive approach and it really works. but how much influence can it half on global warming? the plant on iceland can capture as much c o 2 in a year as 250 citizens in the u. s. consume. similar projects such as storing c o 2 under the ocean floor have only had limited success, says a j gambit of imperial college london. much older technologies with carbon capture storage, which they suck the seo to out the atmosphere. such fit actually capture aside from the combustion of fossil fuels and things like that. industrial manufacturing plants in poll, gas light house stations, and that comes out from storage. technology has been a bit of a disappointment in terms of the rate which has been able to be pilots. he demonstrates his instead of industrial c o. 2 filtering plans can therefore only stop the rising global warming to a small extent. so let's take a look at

a completely natural method photosynthesis. plants grow using only light water and carbon dioxide forests are especially effective at removing c o 2 from the air, according to german climate expert julia pon guts. from all the metro so called nitro solutions for as are the ones that are probably have the largest potential mrs. simply because it's large areas that potentially could be a forest that and horace have a rather high carbon density. so not of carbon per square meter, but every year around $15000000000.00 trees are cut down worldwide. this is for firewood or because the land is needed for agriculture, new roads, or settlements. grasslands and deserts continued to spret. this contributes to global warming. at the same time, climate change helps create even more grasslands. it's a vicious circle in spain rangers are trying to stop this trend using drones. they

want trees to grow here again. in only 2 days, they have spread around 500000 seats. in india, the start up my route. drones wants to use similar technology to plant 1000000000 trees by 2030. the feed capture plant trees from the air. the drone selectively spread seed falls over areas to plant new forests or to strengthen weaken forests. a drone can carry 10 kilos of seed falls each holding 4 to 5000 feet. this technology offers new opportunities for reforestation, says storage, petty, co founder of mark drones. india is a biddy where dvd geography and burden leg deserves in boston. that that ice him with the rock on our mongrels in west bengal. so there are many regions fear people are unable to reach for their have not many activities that are going on at present . seed got that can be to these areas under to believe with is before sewing

the drones survey, the terrain afterwards, the seat capture continues to work. it monitors the seedlings from the air and the results are collected in a database to ensure healthy forest growth. so once the emitter istic and read on some specific algorithms which can process this, emerged it to create that optimum input on like understand optimum environmental parameters for maximum plan growth. so based on this information, we understand like which spot of the forest needs to be taken, get rid of it is thin avo, very low growth of 3 color. and also what is the optimal seed ball configuration that you're still going? artificial intelligence is decisive in monitoring the a for station efforts, but it can take up to 40 years for trees to grow and actually sequester c o 2. according to green i t expert chris adams. they took around planting a ridiculous amount of trees as in them the, the area of india. i me,

one companies are carbon emissions rather than just actually gentle fossil heroes. so these can sometimes be end up being the unintended impact of being a distraction from much more positive conversations. authority colonization. if we are to stop law the warming, we cannot simply keep burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. but where will our energy come from? then? could you imagine life without electricity? for nearly 800000000 people were wide, that's the reality. most of them live in sub saharan africa. sierra leone in west africa is one of the least electrified countries in the world. only 23 percent of the population has reliable access to electricity. intelligence solar networks are set to change all that solar panels have changed life and to come to

a village in sierra leone. there is finally reliable power from renewable sources. a great improvement people here had a used light the globe. he therefore studied pallor. they at a youth any visual freezer. if you don't want to be muffled full on life in our mic and they do movies as coma across all different anyway, the guy from the dream still called loud eddie cap will come by is camille solar hard. many grease is designed to solve 2 problems at once. first, provide much needed access to electricity. second, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy p. d centralized energy system works in remote areas off the national power group. and intelligent control systems are able to capture any superfluous energy. the

coverage and company installed the microgrids per manager mohammed. so leo county is a promising concept. is community 5 years down the road? it was completely dark. what low today? we have electricity here for me going for, for the rest of the all. this is a very good, valuable are micro grits or local solar energy rates. really, a global solution. we asked energy expert marie for bras are from kenya micro grid . i'm not the be all and all and see but let from so every but they're in the integrity part of the electrification process in the, in the global south. like for example, the solution found by dr. i'm a thing in the indian state of rochester. he has installed solar panels, both on his hospital and on the family farm land, missouri like i feel like i'm contributing to the needs of my village, put them on for 220 megawatts in and i'm generating 5 megawatts here and my land

regarding the new to them, so i am contributing to 2 percent that is in my village is power needs. i feel good about that. i am, he regularly feeds solar energy into the local power grid. individual projects which utilize a, i can provide local relief, but other solutions are needed to meet the rising global demand for energy. then needs to be an understanding that is not centralized. greed, vases smarter microgrids or bosses standalone solutions. it's really what's the best solution within each context. oh, the german company enter kite has an innovative and decentralized way of generating energy. it uses the power of the wind. there are no huge wind turbines, but instead a mobile system. the portable system consists of only 3 main components. the stunt

kite, the control lines, and the steering cabin. the kindest sloane automatically, with prevailing wind conditions being taken into account. they fly higher than the tops of existing wind turbines. in enter, kate uses the wind up high, where it blew strongly and consistently above to these wind turbines. high uses high technology, kate systems that are controlled from the ground and transmit the wind power via the lines to a generator on the ground is either a, would not get an artful, but hug the kites, are designed to generate twice the power of conventional wind turbines. i'm going to decline only the small turbine bleed tips are actually effective. some is we've reduced our system to that. it looks and replaced the stability of steel and concrete with a very reliable control system. baton. so it gets with all

the costs for solar and wind energy and for batteries are thinking they're down 85 percent since 2010 but time is running out. we must act now and make more use of modern energy technologies. the i p. c. c has warned that we have only 3 years to reverse the trend and greenhouse gas emissions. there are innovations, however, the technologies we have seen today are only a small part of the solution. the c o 2 vacuum cleaner won't help if we still burn oil and gas. what have you done to tech climate change and which technologies do you find the most promising? tell us on youtube already w dot. come by and see you next time. ah,

ah, the 77 percent. this time, it's all about sports, both noon and traditional plus an exclusive interview with marathon superstar b. keep today. what are these values that you see universally important indicative character the go to the next to might find yourself to fun with consistency, be 7 percent on d, w here comes the 1st and truly electric mercedes. the key west is supposed to take the legendary as classes into the future. motorsport expert and by shelley did not good and wants to know. oh, is the new e mercedes a pioneer for me even the best electric car in the world read.
