where conglomerates make their own laws? shed light on the opaque worlds who's behind the benefits? and why are they a threat to us all oak creek wolves. this week, on d. w. a. could we soon be filling out tanks with carbon dioxide almost fuel out of straw more on that in a moment. but 1st we had no to no way. research is they are trying to understand how the winds change in no way is also to be home to a new spaceport, old as and more coming up on tomorrow. today. d, w. science magazine

b. no, the norway. for 60 years research has happened. launching rockets from here into the northern lights. in this way, they hoped to gain an understanding of the interior of the dancing around a bucket. so m site was set up on the island of undo. yeah, they are now plans to enlarge it. to give you a new space court and more independence in space, travel final preparations are being made for the launch of a nasa research rocket in norway's far north. the u. s. space agency knows the answer yes, space center close to the low photon islands is a good place to study. the northern lights or aurora borealis. it's

a launch range that's very far north, and there's not many of them. we can take a rocket and reach the aurora. um because its um you know, our, our rockets are limited in range. um, so we have to get close enough to the aurora to be able to launch into it from where we're at. this is nothing new for nasa. norway's rocket launch site has been in operation for almost 60 years now. some 1800 research rockets have already listed offering here. now norway wants to start launching commercial satellites in competition with major u. s. companies like space ex and i saw that it belongs live, it's that i am the satellite sectors growing fast, a another who it is maybe even one of the fastest growing industries. i said, i believe the u. s. alone, the striving to double the volume of business to $5000000000.00 by 2024 to $1.00 hollow. mili i did. they did the lot. the arctic island of andrea is

getting a new spaceport. norway is building at south west of the islands. main village of underneath the current site of the space center. the new launch site near the town of not mila will be about half an hour's drive away. the 1st rockets are set to ascend from here in 2022. rocket factory, ox book, and ease are aerospace or to german startups that want to use the launch site to get into the commercial satellite business for you. and as it is used to be the exclusive preserve of big business. nowadays we have s. m e's in startups. mixing it up at the moment, so this market is booming, but there are far more providers and b, the 4 is our aerospace, this is the chance to get a foothold with a small, flexible, and affordable launch opportunity. toddlers. i'm going to look it up here. north of the arctic circle,

the 2 southern german companies are hoping for high turnovers. under yes, location is very favourable. from here it requires a comparatively small amount of energy to launch satellites that can orbit the earth pole to pole, covering large parts of europe and fulfilling vital roles as well from observations of the earth to detecting forest fires, to supporting self driving vehicles from you to communication services to gps from a low orbit travel to the moon and other planets. and, and, and the funny one, there's an expanding market, these small satellites, and there's a lot of the quantity in the market use of those financing available to her. so ward, no. so the rugged sector is practically booming, and more and more staff are needed to cope with this demand. this group of physics

students are training on andrea with rockets that they've built themselves right after climbing several 100 meters. the rockets parachute back down to earth, eternally eric theo, risk of an okay, it will be incredibly important to get enough training, mustn't urbanatto, they don't all have to be physics or math graduates, but i think we will also need other staff to, to them in order to construct a spaceport with us on what you can launch rockets carrying satellites and boss of thought, the letter of late space junk has been causing problems on under. yeah, they have long been exploring the atmosphere with laser beams within a 100 kilometer range. now they want to use this laser imaging detection and ranging equipment or allied are for short to stop this used satellites getting in the way of new ones near the launch hub. mit isn't feeling that with all

these satellites that are accumulating an orbit. it's necessary to collect this space debris and we are involved in projects with german partners. is that evil to observe this debris? does he a diesel flipped and use these lasers or lead our systems to trace the exact orbit of tim event? so we might be able to bring the bits back down to earth. in many years, time seemed to edison and the tidy or the orbit, the better. because the boom in the satellite sector and the new spaceport has the potential to spark new conflicts, high above the earth. or from undo. yeah, we travel even further north to no, it's small, but archipelago. from here, data is collected daily about the winds that blow around our globe, and that affects the climate. the polar jet stream is an important part of this

wind system. it handles around the globe at an altitude of several kilometers about the earth. but the data shows that the dead stream is wavering. the swell bard archipelago inside the arctic circle, mildly on much oh, really has been a regular visitor over the last 20 years, conducting studies on how global warming is changing the climate in the arctic region. new olis on is the northern most permanent settlement in europe. originally a coal mining colony, it's had a new lease on life as a tiny, but vital hub of climate science with research stations representing 10 different countries. this is the roof of the joint, german french facility, where mario much really collects a wide range of meteorological data. doesn't i'd fought tooth dance. it's just basic data like temperature, humidity,

air pressure and the wind. and of course you also have clouds, void liquid and solid particles ice crystals, this aerosols, everything that's transported in the air. well, i guess others fuss enough in various trace gases to all of your version of one garza. we use that data to monitor the state of the atmosphere and also to study the long term changes taking place and the reasons for them do they dashed at home . done ticket wouldn't offer to emitted, and those changes are severe even in winter. the fjords up here north of the arctic circle, now barely freeze over and the snow line is rising. there's ongoing sea ice melt and the permafrost soil is thawing. the climate connected temperature rise worldwide now amounts to an average of one re celsius. but here in small but it's been 3 degrees in just the last 20 years. the meteorologist believes that changes in the prevailing wind direction are among the causes and persona. an inventor will

not cameras in, in the winter months, especially the air currents are coming more frequently from the south and the warranty at these circulatory changes mean more warm and humid. air is being brought from the middle latitudes, one that has an impact on the precipitation, and the clouds that form here, here and thus on. the local climate, of course, not naturally does kima here for aught marian module really suspects that a wind system at an altitude of 10000 meters is a decisive factor in the creasing appearance of southerly winds in the arctic. this polar jet stream is generated by warm air rising at the equator and then heading north where it clashes with cold air from the polar front. the extreme temperature difference hinders the 2 masses of air from quickly mixing. they're driven in an eastwood direction by the earth's rotation. until now the resulting high altitude

wind raced around the northern hemisphere at speeds of up to 5 of a 100 kilometers per hour in an undulating but stable corridor. but it's a system now being destabilized by climate change, the others does their own, does heat in the narrowing difference and temperature between the arctic and the middle latitudes has an effect on wind patterns that includes the high velocity jet stream, which normally has a zonal flow to parallel to the latitude, so until you place your visor. so now i as a poly, it's and with the wind, no longer having the same intensity than high velocity band of wind sways off course contest saw to i'm fling on. these are stock vent bundles. if i'll fill the balloon with gas, environmental engineer figure gotta, has spent an entire year doing research work at the station. her daily routine includes preparing weather balloons, task carrying highly sensitive probes. there are vital element in her colleagues

surveys on the wind changes as part of an international project to understand the global scale interconnections at play, comparative data is required. so the different project partners involved use the same kind of probes. the researchers around the world launch balloons at the same time every day, the probes and their data to the ground stations by radio waves for mine and missiles anti sierra vista, they're really important for me because they're the only way to take measurements. 30 kilometers on dikes and the height resolution is very high as well. the balloon rises 5 meters per 2nd. and take some measurement once a 2nd. the off on top it. so that means every 5 meter says, i left something other devices can't match the screen the underwriter mission marion much. really studies have provided insights into the consequences of the now slower polar jet stream. a drop and speed sees the jet stream losing geographical

stability to, and swaying rather than streaming uni directional around the globe. this results in loops, in which the weather fronts shift between warm and cold air. smaller loops drive the high and low pressure areas around the world. larger loops on the other hand, mean a slower movement of these areas and their weather france. this leads to prolonged and often extreme weather conditions of long term high pressure front can trigger drought while a low will translate into intense rainfall. dec lima under, in. that's the climate change is changing the wind, which leads to new circulation patterns, a shift in the system of high and low pressure areas. and a growing frequency of blocking highs v to off on. and we're also seeing the wind transporting warm and moist air masses up to the arctic, which in turn contributes to increased warming right here in the office by take

warming, that increases the pace of thought in permafrost soils, which then release additional greenhouse gases or development seen in the c o 2 emissions data recorded on the instruments being serviced by think about it today. with the ever increasing thawing of the polar sea ice and glaciers, we lose an important global climate cooling function. while light colored eyes reflects the majority of the sun's rays and ice free ocean absorbs additional heat . that changes to prevailing winds or the driving force behind another vicious circle of climate change. further south around the pacific winds also play an important role in weather and climate and thus also in the oceans plankton and fish paraphrase in the cold new trent rich humboldt current off the coast of south america. but that changes regularly

when the weather phenomenon el nino slows down the winds at none send me into from argentina. wanted to know more and sent us this question. how do a nino alanine ya come about? both are linked to a phenomenon that occurs in the pacific in repeating cyclical patterns. the air and water currents between latin america and southeast asia change. switching between all nino alanine ya phases. in an amino year, the trade winds weaken weakening to the cold humboldt current along south america's west and coast. the temperature of the water then rises. many clowns form that in turn leads to severe rainfall on the western side of the andes. during a linear phases, there are repeated cases of landslides on flooding. if

even wet enough to make the world dry, if devit the utter comma in chile blossom, because the cold, nutrient rich water off the coast is displaced by the warm surface water plants and dye. this means fish lose their staple suit and go in search of it elsewhere. ringback only knew easy, easy speech and extreme drought in south east asia and australia. the dangerous forest fires increases considerably, harvests are endangered because it in el nino year, the annual monsoon rains a much reduced even southeast and africa is affected by el nino tramps occurred because of the lack of trade winds that otherwise transport moist

ocean and landlords in the la nina, phase, the situation is reversed. the trade winds increase this time, se asia and australia experienced heavy precipitation because of the warming of the ocean water is south america by contrast is plagued by drought, but of the coast as cold. nutrient rich water rises from the deep plankton find food again and the fish return. eventually filling the local fishes nets, we asked you was effects from el nino and la nina. do you feel if you region right now london, you reins in the pacific. alfano writes from indonesia, it's true that there are many changes due to this phenomenon. however,

it is positive that forest fires do not break out as frequently as i did a few years ago. from the other side of the pacific premier now reports right now the la nina, phenomenon is happening and we have a prolong, drowned here in my country, chevy and sandy, right? something similar from peru, there is a drought that affects life. stop and agriculture in venezuela. linea shows regional differences. phoenix writes that it hasn't stopped raining there for 2 years. eliana also reports continuous rain from columbia. o nanina is oak such different extremes. thank you for your comments now it's up up and away again. air travel uses fuel from petroleum and that not only emit c o 2 into the earth, but also such offer an alternative that don't involve fossil fuels. so called bio

jet fuel is already being produced from plants such as rab see it. oh boy, palms. that is on land which however, could often also be used for growing food. research team is now trying to turn stroll into kerosene. it's the only cooperation of its kind a research aircraft from the german aerospace center, together with one from nasa or investigating the influence of the combustion of kerosene on the atmosphere and global warming. their main interest is how to reduce its negative impact. one thing is clear, aircraft pump out a huge volume of harmful emissions producing an estimated $1000000.00 tons of c o 2 alone. the nasa aircraft is equipped with numerous sensors. it's measuring the emissions coming from the german aerospace center plain. the air

bus 320 is being filled in part with bio jet fuel. the aviation industry's big hope for the future we're missing can we wouldn't have to change any airports or build any new types of aircraft or infrastructure. yeah, the fuel is used just like today's petroleum oil based variant. oh, manhood i'd now is researching how aviation fuel can be made more sustainable. conventional kerosene develops large amounts of foot when it come busts. and that's particularly problematic at high altitudes. aircraft emit her vapor and soot particles as well as c o. 2. when water condenses around the cit particles, it creates ice crystals. and then con trails. they can spread to formed cirrus clouds, which in turn trapped thermal radiation from the earth in the atmosphere, creating a rise in temperature. and they reflect little

sunlight back into space, which also has a warming effect. so the more such we emit into the atmosphere, the more we contribute to global warming, but this negative impact can be reduced significantly by adding the right amount of bio aviation fuel. the german aerospace centers institute of combustion technology in stuttgart is researching what that kind of designer fuel might look like. there e, kerosene is based on plants or plant based oils and maybe even straw. it's available in large quantities and doesn't compete with food crops. it's already clear that biofuels could make a considerable contribution to reducing harmful emissions, visit conventional kerosene contains a large number of chemical molecules including aromatic compounds. they account for

between 8 and 25 percent of that kerosene and triggered the creation of cit particles by producing new fuels. we can avoid them. i'd o 80 ation biofuel produces no such when it burns to use it as efficiently as possible. different glens are tested in the laps combustion chambers, along with the exact mixing, ratio, efficiency and reliability are also key. a combination of laser measuring technology and simulation are also being used to show in detail for the 1st time. how so forms in an engine combustion chamber re combust oh, the site does this, this shows the importance of not just using synthetic fuels, but using them wisely. we call it fuel design, is optimizing the chemical compositions and it's into what i what can the design of sustainable aviation fuel achieve? trial flights are intended to find that out initially with just

a small amount of biofuel in the fuel tank. measurements taken by the german aerospace center and nasa show that this can lead to a decisive drop in harmful suit emissions in particular. and the researchers think more is possible when monday came to us, i optimizing the chemical composition with a mix of 30 percent biofuel. we can reduce should particles by 70 percent of ships what's in those particular this year. the researchers also found that adding sustainable fuel to conventional fuels has no negative effect on playing engines. so why not just switch to 100 percent biofuel straight away? as the market seems to be nickerson, firstly, there's too little of it. the factories simply don't exist to produce it. secondly, it's more expensive. significantly more expensive e e. kerosene costs about twice or 3 times more. even if it were to be produced in

large quantities of mashed up here still. and that means plane tickets would cost more, but it's a price we should be willing to pay. the use of sustainable aviation fuel would go a long way toward saving the climate. of course us is also working on technologies to make fuel more climate friendly. one idea, gasoline made from carbon dioxide. what we currently emit as exhaust fuel could be, we used as fuel again and fill the tank. only put as much collide. he took a closer look and hey, have you heard about this? you can fill up with the greenhouse gas c o 2 and use it to drive or fly or power to ship. crazy fuel made out of thin air. no need to

burn fossil fuel any more using something that is fee or to neutral? impossible. asked him, he makes no kind of self. hey tim, how does it work? do you turning the combustion process on its head in a what we aim to do is take energy, water and c o 2 and turn them into synthetic fuel. so that closes the seo to cycle and we can create c o 2 neutral fuel austin. ok. it worked the other way around to really understand it. i think i have to go to i love then please correct me if i'm wrong. you say you take water. it's 2 o an energy, lots of energy in the form of electric power. that electric power splits the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. no need for the oxygen. we only need

the hydrogen. and here it comes. you combine the greenhouse gas t o 2 with hydrogen. and what's her good is fuel green fuel that recycle c o 2. instead of emitting it done, is it really that isn't good? i just put your scientific fuel in my car instead. gonna vince the sun in and if we can deliver sufficient quantities to gas stations, then you can fill your car with it. that's a major opportunity provided by c o. 2 neutral fuels monkey you can use the existing infrastructure. woodson cotton ha, okay. got it. synthetic fuel, lakes dirty god. it's b. as long as the whole process is powered with clean energy . well, that's a lot to think about that's
