suggest french president manuel mccall is on course for a 2nd 5 year term. but his far right opponent, renal pan, has mounted a strong challenge and sundays electron running up next shift looks at harnessing technology to tackle the climate crisis. and there's plenty more of course in our website, d, w dot com a michael. ok, thanks for watching her again that i think that's hard and in the end is a me, you are not a lot of to you anymore. we will send you back. are you familiar with this with the smudges were lions of beef. what's your story with. ready women, especially and victims of violence in labs and take part and send us your story. we

are trying always to understand this new culture. so you are not the visitor, not the guests. you want to become a citizen. in phil migrants, your platform for reliable information. a kite that transforms went into energy, a vacuum cleaner, that pulls c o 2 out of the air and drove the plum trees. digital innovations that combat climate change. our topic today 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
4:17 pm
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 vacuum cleaner. ah, near iceland capital reykjavik, atlanta, actively remove c o. 2 from the ear has been operating since 2021. the technology behind it is called direct your capture. each collection times extract the carbon dioxide with high tech filters and fans. first, the use heat to separate the carbon dioxide than it is mixed with water and injected deep into the earth. the are, 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 for 1000 tons you turn per year, but it meets
4:18 pm
a lot of energy. iceland is 90 location because it has both hydro and you thermal 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 she is hired and 90 percent, which means that for one come, 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 u 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.
4:19 pm
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 except technologies with carbon capture storage, which they suck the seo to out the atmosphere as such, fit actually capture aside from the combustion of fossil fuels and things like that . industrial manufacturing plants, cold gas light power stations, and the carbon capture and storage technology has been a bit of a disappointment in terms of the rate which has been able to be piloted, demonstrated in standoff, 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 plans grow using only light water and
4:20 pm
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 metro solutions forests are the ones that are probably have the largest potential. this is 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 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,
4:21 pm
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 baron lake deserve syndrome austin, that, that ice him with the rock on our mongrels in west bengal. so there are many regions, fear to people are unable to reach for they are not many activities that are going on at present. so you've got that can be used. these areas under to believe with is before sewing the drones survey, the terrain afterwards,
4:22 pm
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 as thin adverb very low growth of 3 color. and also, what is the optimal see ball configuration that you're still going. artificial intelligence is decisive in monitoring the a for a 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,
4:23 pm
one companies are carbon emissions rather than just actually gentle fossil heroes. so these can sometimes be and not being the unintended impact of being a distraction from much more important 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 wife and to come to a village in sierra leone. there is finally reliable power from renewable sources.
4:24 pm
a great improvement, the people you had a used like the globe. he therefore studied fella. they at a youth official freeze are a fine 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 drysdale called loud eddie cap, welcome bye, eskimiya solar powered minnie. 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. cellular county
4:25 pm
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 of a good, valuable, offshore are microgrids or local solar energy greats. really, a global solution. we asked energy expert marie for barracuda from kenya. micro grid and not the be all and all seem up lead at whatsoever, but they're an integral part of the electrification process in the, in the global south. like for example, the solution found by dr. m. a thing in the indian state of rochester. he has installed solar panels, both on his hospital and on the family farm land. mcgehee like i feel like i'm contributing to the needs of my village co put live wonderful, 220 megawatts in and i am generating 5 megawatts here on my land regards. the
4:26 pm
network and so i am contributing to 2 percent, every single my village is power needs. i feel good about that. i am the regularly feed 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. there needs to be an understanding that is not centralized. greed, vases smarter microgrids or viruses stumbled on 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 pump. the kite is flown automatically with prevailing when
4:27 pm
conditions being taken into account they fly higher than the tops of existing wind turbines. like i'd noticed in goal 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. he's either a would not get an artful, but hug the kites, are designed to generate twice the power of conventional wind turbines. decline only the small turbine bleed tips are actually effective. looks on this. we've reduced our system to that. it looks and replaced the stability of steel and concrete with a very reliable control system. they told me do it before that. so you're going all
4:28 pm
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 seo to 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 ah ah, links is back. ah,
4:29 pm
but does it have a future? new generation is bringing up in germany as well as strong opposition against his credit or is a threat to other animal. the controversy over re introducing the links in europe next on d. w. ah, the magic of the mountains oh and the glacier explain a once in a lifetime dream journey, it attracts people from all over the world. what is this tour all about? 2 mountains and valleys on the legendary train of glacier expressed. in 45 minutes on dw,
4:30 pm
we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. romantic cornered, tread hotspot for food and some great cultural memorials to boot w travel off we go ah, ah, this links feels right at home. lee us is his name. he is one of the few links in southern germany. a mate and young cubs would make his life complete. and if he can't find them here, it could threaten the whole leg's population in europe. humans could help and introduce females into this area in conceal.
