about their struggles and dreams for the responsibility is hugely, has so much to leon, shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. this list has to be really, really good. starts september 30th on d, w. ah. ah. around the world, the races on to transition from fossil fuels to clean energy in the process and even small steps will help us reach the finish line on this edition of a coin get. we discover how smart ideas can keep us on track. hello, welcome. i'm some of that pink of iglesia, and chances are it's

a gleaming white sheet of ice that comes to mind. but from the high out to the himalayas, the was bliss is ahmad by a black wind blown dust that contains foot from fires and fossil fuel consumption. in the state of your motto, please efforts to club local emissions him to save the glaciers that have a major water source and broadest attraction. ah ha, without this live via farmer you need harpoon, couldn't bring his apples to market an iron bridge that once connected his village of so long in the himalayas with the quill lumen. ali valley was recently swept aveena landslide, after heavy rains. now the villagers may do with roadways and temporary wooden bridges worked a pretty bridge gradually gonna what via emergency good. if we had to build

a temporary bridge for emergency, we didn't have any other choice. melanie eggs, this bridge, is the only way we can transport an injured or sick child, or an elderly person in an emergency room on colony guineas for aking, juggle, of job, a bridge going on over by the indian steed off he might help. reddish is home to one number of big him a land lease. yes. they melt water feeds into the regions 5 main rivers. the cool, nominally valley lies 1800 meters above sea level. this year saw unprecedented heat waves. and in the month of july alone, more than 30 heavy rain storms, the resulting floods led to lance light that killed 140 people. the extreme red there isn't only down to climate change. local factors have also played at all. the volume of traffic has increased massively over the past 30 years. as hill stations draw increasing number of tourists local residence like yogi talk or see the

landscape is changing before their eyes and we'll go rent better dracula. this year we went for a winter dreadful friendship we accomplish and we love the temperature was very unexpected in just a span of $2.00 to $3.00 days. quite fleming now, we witnessed a snow melting cycle. i was very surprised to see that at austin. there are a lot of situations in temperature. there's no balance any models, joe balance, the better because he's not a regular wife. there is now less snow fall and the temperatures are rising. but other factors are also driving the lease. you melt scientists, the food from food fired power plant, water wires, and diesel powered makers is making normal pasta. what problem is that? it says that the imaging black cartman and the black carbon gets deeper. the date on the seasonal snow middle of death suspended into the mosque. there, i've solved the salon edition because they did the black in color. they have

perfect absorption properties and death saw the celebrity sion and in the process, the heat, the atmosphere. and the impact is huge. report from the world bank shows the black carbon deposit would be responsible for more than 50 percent of the actually think leesha and snow melt in the region at the bus station in monopoly gun that the hunter dodge issues a last call for passengers. his bus is about believe and it's not just any bus. the fully electric way girl is one of 25 e bus is serving the cool new monopoly valley. hunter rod has been working here for years. he too, has noticed changes in the mountains and therefore as my mother, 15 years ago, there was a lot of snowfall between december and march. it was hard to spot land and i don't know him thinking i will have to take my kids to don't don't pass to see the

snowfall. the electric vehicles have quickly become popular among passengers. loosen the recalls cost and pollute more because of that, look. even with longer to travel in any buttons at the local transport cooperation plan to buy another $300.00 electric buses and by 202515 percent off. its fleet is to re lecturing. but not all the buses can use the theme charging point that limits their operating for i'll be your subsidy. some of the biggest challenge right now is that the bus in for beckoned infrastructure is vacant. company specific. the kind of music in shimla nice are different from color or dam charla. jesse gardinio, until charging infrastructure is standardized by the government. this problem will continue under awful. so setting up the vehicle specific jarring stations, is

a problem. moment lever been here with the good because the hage, nevertheless, electric lake us are definitely a step in that i direction scientists see off using electrical vehicle is sense is a very useful thing. if we can do it significantly, can affect the black government emission introduce region, an upgrade, extend it can control audit, cut in half the livelihood and half the day. ability of snow go. electric lakers could certainly help reduce the damaging black sold emissions in the region. but that when take dine, still, people are already benefiting from the new buses, which it use noise and quantity boot took lena mountain air up in the himalayas.

the southern italian city of naples is the notorious capital of clim little class known as the camera. one district left for decades has lived in the shadow of the mafia. gravity and unemployment has become the unlikely center of the cities transition to clean energy. it's a project that demonstrates the uplifting potential of going green residence called the brooks, the per district of san giovanni, or to do cio and the eastern suburbs of naples. the district is grouped by poverty on employment of the mafia. but it's here that natalie's energy revolution began thought that noir thought it was good to start from dinner because we want a socially fair energy transition course to be do that we must fight climate change and social injustice together when they get back on in here and that's what we've done here asking for charlotte quintinella. that is why yan set italy's 1st energy

community was created on the roof of this building. 166 solar panels produce electricity for 40 families. energy has become part of a social project here. the former orphanage of the familiar d, maria foundation, is a drop in center for families. a place where children can go to save them from exploitation by the camera, with our risks involved. grey owl and the home up on this whole comes from a bullet fired in front of the entrance at the foundation yet hit this wall when it all a bulletin sign of organized crime. one of the big problems here. and they want to show that places like this or not wanted a cd because we educate the children to respect the laws. i do about timing and our weapons, our books are musical instruments and even solar panels. when the v for the attack, gennaro is 11 years old. he comes to the foundation every day and it's made him an environmental activist. children play an important role. they're the ones who

persuaded the parents to participate in the energy project. crash her came on, we installed more solar panels here by and over there now. and also on this side share with key. it makes me happy thought because it least were doing something for the climate chum. i told my momma that it's good for the environment in death. and you also save money on, fizzles pasquale. cheery low has been working for the foundation for 20 years. but for him it's about much more than alternative energy. was it got it that it i got selected that we try to give these kids a chance that at that we tell them that okay, this is a difficult neighbourhood. there are many ugly things that she's on. but there's also something beautiful was i've been doing. we've had a place where you can do theater and music and she's all of it were. there are people who will listen to you, the ones who can help you. when you have opportunities here. why not for me though,

whether it's for football, environment work children, or making music over a 100 kids come every day in all seasons that are on that gonna show us what you've got. yeah. wow. i thought he might have a home. but when we die in of getting a solid on it, we want the electricity project to show families that we care that in senior, the 1st energy community was not created in the city center. but here anybody in naples east will me with the 1st to do it or plain this. finally, the residents no longer see themselves as the last ones, the forgotten ones who always get the leftovers. not know this time. we are the 1st time will only money south doesn't bring in ramos, the facility cost $100000.00 euros, financed by the canal sued foundation. the families are now entrepreneurs and not only used electricity, but also sell it for several months. now the facility has been producing green electricity at the foot of

a service antique with several more than that of daddy. this energy community represents a new path with his district today known that there are still many unsolved environmental and social problems. and the mafia is still present that happening, but this is finally a positive story. following their example, in the next few months, dozens of new energy communities are to be set up all over southern italy. well, rooftops are one place to store solar panels. but as the world strives to transition to an emissions neutral future, the thought is on for space to put all the for to water systems, the future will require. so where exactly can we put our solar cells? our reporter explore the options we need less of this and more of this to stay below 1.5 degrees. but time is running out.

solar still only accounts for 3.7 percent of worldwide energy production. we desperately need more. but where can we put the solar panels they need based on precious land land we need for towns, houses, and st. intact, ecosystem and food. here we have a serious space issue. we're already using a lot of our soil to grow food. but what if we grew crops and generated energy at the same time? it's time for agri voltaic, the idea behind it, double the harvest. to do this, modules are built in such a way that the soil beneath them can still be used for growing plant. what potential types are there? one is sol offensive. the space in between the fences can be used to grow crops for

life stock or flour strips. or the modules could be built in a way that gives the panels enough space to rotate towards the sun. but how the plant fair growing under or near the panels, we've been growing lots of different kinds of props. things that you would see at your local farmers market. so tomatoes, peppers, squash, auburn, gene. all these different types of props are seem to do really well. so the plant still get enough light, tomatoes, and chili peppers even doubled. they yield when shaded by solar panels. that's because if they get too much done, they get stressed and stop. so to synthesizing, which means they stop growing in a world that is getting hotter and hotter the modules ensure that less water is needed for irrigation. just think if you spilled your coffee or your water, your tea in the shade versus the fall sun, where will it stay where longer?

in the shade we're finding that every time we irrigated it would stay wet for 2 days instead of 2 hours. but yes, there are few, but not everything can be grown under the panels. crops like wheat or millet require full sun to grow. well, researchers are looking into which panels and set ups would be best for which crop . some plans need bigger gaps between the panels. corn and wheat would need taller ones, while shrubbery soybeans will be fine with a more squat variety. but the trend for the coming years is promising. according to a market analysis institute, the global market is anticipated to grow by almost 40 percent in the next 5 years in dry regions, or those that rely heavily on agriculture like india, indonesia, and many african and south american countries. agri, well takes, could save a lot of land and water floating photovoltaics,

or float of all take might just be the next big thing. the idea solar panels are mounted on raft like structures which float on a body of water on the pimples, in coverage of all, there is awards which are available in the room in the rural group give about 23. however, what of installed capacity? this is thomas finder. he evaluates the economic and technological feasibility of large scale floating p v system. with to put this into perspective on these $23.00 parallel generators, much electricity is the whole world of needs to be in a year. you can already see what that could look like at one of the biggest floating solar farms in singapore. here the solar plan floats on the surface of a reservoir and produces enough energy to power about 16000 forum flats in the

city state. the biggest floating farm in china even produces 5 times as much energy. the water also cools down the floating panels, making them more efficient. the panels and structures have to withstand wind waves and corrosion. so father, multiple studies have not found any severe impact on either water quality or ecosystems. experts expect flow to voltaic to expand by up to 30 percent annually over the next 5 years, with markets, mainly in asia. but europe, africa, and the us are starting to invest as well. so any other places left to put solar panels up in space, yet getting as close to the sun as possible. here the sun shines 24 hours a day and you need 0 land on earth. so why don't we put solar panels in the earth

orbit? the u. k. lead space energy initiative with around 50 partners from industry, government and science is planning to install a solar power satellite in space by 2035 the us china and japan are also taking part in the solar space power quest. and this is, oh, it might work satellites in the us g, a stationary orbit, which is around 35000 kilometers from earth, collect solar energy using huge solar panels. they convert the energy into microwave radiation and beam and down to earth on the ground. a net of receiving antennas, or rec, tenors, collect the microwaves and convert them to electricity for the grid. each satellite might produce 2 gigawatts of continuous power. as much as around $700.00 utility scale wind turbines, they'd be huge around 1.7 kilometers in diameter. and we'll wait several 1000

tons. the satellites would start to beam energy to us 24 hours a day. the beam is considered to be harmless for animals and humans. it's about a quarter the strength of the midday sun. but energy is lost during the transmission and the conversion process. and the cost of getting the modules into space is well sky high. even if we manage to build and finance solar power satellites in the next decades, we need more solar power to combat climate change now. and they are already far more realistic ways of generating solar energy quickly without losing urgently needed land. and all of them are cheaper, faster, and much more promising. often, it takes a creative mind to pink, outside the box, or in the case of our next report, the solo fell. we met

a dutch designer who integrates full of technology into her work in a quest to redefine our relationship with solar power and promote energy efficiency . for dutch designer marianna, fun elbow, the sun is her inspiration. so all started with this. it's something, it's a small and beautiful if this is harvest energy, solar cells take center stage and her designs like in these illuminated window decorations till here i try to make instead of like making sol invisible, that it really becomes like the future that it becomes an aesthetic edition to, to work it is, is herself powering artwork, these solar window panels look like stained glass. but they also have a function and their solar powered hanging lamp called santa is designed to mimic sunset. the sun is like this beautiful thing. we're like all know

very well, and i mean is this moment when you're on the, on the beach or you see the sun setting is magical moment? that's kind of like what i want to use in the lights. so under the sun goes down, a sunny goes on, and that's like i have everyone has his personal relation with the sun. but it also like that it the fact that it's powering object and his light is super, super fascinating. murray and fun album works out of this studio in amsterdam. she collaborates were scientists to create objects with a double function. they promote energy efficiency, such as this table, which is also a docking station. it captures daylight and it's you can plug your phone or light or you can charger. if i this from this one of her bigger projects was for the dubai expo 2020. she created the colorful solar panels for the

dutch pavilion. the solar roof provided power for the pavilion and also allowed in enough sunlight for the plant. marian's design show how diverse solar panels can be . these are organic photovoltaics which is like, they're printed on pets and they don't use any like very heavy metals, which is bad for environments. and they are completely circular. so they're super light weights was kind of like a new generation of solar technology. marion has also come up with a solution for food production in a self powering greenhouse. it's currently on display in the netherlands at the flurry out a hold or culture, exposure or creation enables the production of food in places where there's a lack of electricity for farming space. this is my creation of the future of farming, and it's called power plants. and you basically can grow your food everywhere on

your rooftop, so you don't have to fly in from the other side of the world, but you can really grow it within your own home. so it's uses vertical farming, and this is all powered by solar glass. even though she's a designer by trade, scientific developments are important to marian's work. solar cell has evolved so much since most dikes and their invention. and i think it's time that we start looking up in the sky where we got all the potential. instead of digging down into grounds, i mean, if we could live in balance with nature and use sources that are coming all the time in our, in abundance, i think. yeah. then the worlds can be very beautiful place for my infant elbow, the future of solar technology certainly looks bright. i love the sun, isn't the only thing in the sky that we can harness for energy. a german start up

is using air. it says it's developed a synthetic fuel that makes use of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, and exciting prospect for our reporter who found out more why filling up at berlin petrol station. hey, have you heard about this? you can fill up with the greenhouse gas, c o 2 and use it to drive or fly for power to ship. crazy fuel made out of fin, else. no need to burn fossil impossible. asked him, he makes this kind of soft. hey tim, how does it work? 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 c o 2 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

a lab 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 group fuel that recycle c o 2 instead of emitting it? oh good. is it really that easy? could i just put your synthetic fuel in my car instead, gonna vents 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. oh, looks and come. oh, okay. got it, synthetic. you'll make 30 guards as long as the whole process is powered with green energy. well, that's a lot to think about it's a lot to think about. indeed, joining the conversation about going vien can be overwhelming. plus, you may not know where to start. that's exactly why we are here. eco, india will continue to bring you ideas and solutions to help you make informed choices about how to care for the environment. don't forget and join us again next week, until then. good bye. ah,
