all right, and the pillar of sticks and society taxes the right to living taxes and the obligation to pay them both inherent in the sovereignty of relation states and their citizens. but what happens when the power of taxation is undermined? can't pay won't pay taxation and politics starts october 21st on d w ah ah, ah, the modern world needs energy. lots of it. the not need is only growing, however,
1:31 pm
it's becoming hard at to fulfill with supplies running scarce and prices soaring to new. hi, especially here in europe. securing enough energy to go round is one of the themes this week. also coming up, can new technology make our commutes more efficient? could a seed shortage take french, must it off the menu? and i think high time we re discovered the many uses of hemp. welcome to made data, we use business magazine. now the you is in need of natural gas is become scarce since russia began choking off supplies. a response to western sanctions over its invasion of ukraine. european countries all racing to find alternatives to russian deliveries a difficult task, and an urgent one. now, oil provides the largest proportion of the use energy supply, but natural gas is a close. second, accounting for almost a quarter, adding coal,
1:32 pm
and you see just how relying the block still is on fossil fuels. now neighboring norway could help solve the eas supply problems, but it's not as simple as just turning on the gas taps max xander reports from one of the world's largest oil and gas conventions. o n s. the fossil fuels europe desperately needs fly deep beneath the ocean. this region is responsible for 3 percent of the world's gas consumption. the norwegian continental shelf, platform crews and pipeline operators are working around the clock to provide something that's now needed more than ever in europe. affordable gas. the biggest question is now whether or not norway will be able to share its riches and help out it's european parkers. we travel to norway to find some answers. now this here is one of the main facilities connecting norwegian gas fields to
1:33 pm
homes and businesses in central europe. this is the coastal processing plant from here, gas is being sent to germany by a pipeline. and since the beginning of the war, the volumes of gas be sent through these pipelines has increased quite a bit to make up for the lack of lush and gas compared to last year, almost 10 percent more gas is now being processed by plants like this one from casto, the gas travels more than 600 kilometers by a pipelines to m than and donald in northern germany. since the start of the warren ukraine, german leaders have asked their norwegian counterparts to do even more. but the industry seems open to the idea. like many others, pipeline operator gas go appears to be in good spirits here at o. n s one of the world's largest oil and gas conventions. if you look at the average for the last 5 year, and we will definitely be on own most the highest level lever, dcf, we are working all the time to optimize the new age and transport system. the
1:34 pm
industry has been able to increase the output partially due to delaying maintenance with c. e o for the leave wasn't expects even higher volumes of gas to be delivered next year. however, like many in the industry, he prefers to not discuss profits. our job is to be predictable, to deliver to goss in, to the mar, the way that the ship. but i want us wants us to do the high end irregularity, low emissions, and so on. if the prices are low and the price is a high, we do a job anyway, so that so that's our main focus. reliant. a reliable supply through europe. norwegian suppliers and european customers would be very fond of seeing even larger volumes of gas sent through the nor see but drilling for gas is a long term enterprise. at the norwegian petroleum museum, we meet curator beyond lint back. he tells us there are many obstacles that make it difficult to increase the countries gas output. there is
1:35 pm
a lead time from when you discover a field to it comes on production and will vary. or of course with the where the field is located, that complexity over the expected price assumptions that the companies make. but like you said, it's not the switch that you can easily just turn on. he tells us that in theory, nor we has orland gas reserves left that could be exploited. but in practice, it's rather complicated than norwegian shelf is what you call a mature province. so all the expected large major discoveries have been made. you're still making discoveries, but they are becoming smaller and smaller in size. what does the future hold for oil and gas? that's a valid question, especially now during this crisis, norway itself is seen as a role model when it comes to green energy. the water bought as we pass along the way or the country's main source of electricity. hydro electric power, this reservoir and the power station it's connected to provide energy to the entire
1:36 pm
region. exporting gas and oil has made norway rich, but in the long run it will have to phase out fossil fuels in order to reach its climate goals and protect the environment. and noticed norway's g d p. ultimately it will be up to the government and also to the side for now however, it seems gas is here to stay, but we see a lot of new interests in both expiration or and investments. a new production in norway, it's been strengthened by the position taken by, by the u. that norwegian gas will also provide an important role posts 2030 in the post 2030 picture. so, so i do see the turner we from gas will, will be important in the energy transition, but europe is now gone for norwegian, oil and gas won't solve the european energy crisis alone, but they're likely part of the answer. on another part of
1:37 pm
the answer could simply be using less energy heat pumps are seen as a much more efficient and environmentally friendly way to keep your home warm than conventional boilers. and here in germany, they're becoming all the rage. uptake has been rising unabated in recent years, sales trip, or between 20152021. so ah, heat pumps all that they're cracked up to be, or is the hype, just hot air? well, let's take a look. blue or heat pumps, the cure all they seem to be. interest in heat pumps is growing, as people look for cheaper alternatives to oil and gas for heating their homes. but they make sense for other reasons to the upon some more environmentally friendly because they extract natural heat from the air ground or water. heat pumps work by transferring the free extracted heat via and exchanger using refrigerant because
1:38 pm
the refrigerant has a very low boiling point. water evaporates in the process. this vapors then highly condensed in a compressor, which is the actual heat pump. in another heat exchanger the thermal energy of the heated steam is then transferred to the radiator. it heats up, maybe not as fast and hot as usual, but enough, not so great for people who really feel the cold. but now comes the catch. operating such a system requires electricity. the same amount as an entire household would consume even more if the system is not properly configured. determining of buildings exact hate requirements is particularly difficult in old buildings due to unsealed windows, outdated, building materials and so on. if the heat pump is too big or too small, feel
1:39 pm
a tricity costs can even exceed gas or oil prices. as electricity is also becoming more expensive systems that use air are often also very noisy and disturb both neighbors and the owner. installing them isn't cheap either. it can easily cost around $25000.00 euros, but they can pay for themselves after just a few years. some countries, like germany also offer subsidies. another problem is finding people who know how to properly install them, their origin skilled workers to meet the increased demand. heating with heat pumps can be a sensible eco friendly option, but it is not a cure all. nice not just household that a hoping to save on their energy bills. businesses are also keeping an eye out for new ways to be more efficient. providers of public transport. look to the latest technology to make things move quicker and cheaper. in hamburg,
1:40 pm
cutting edge trains could help with cutting down costs. but this chain travel is complicated. it always has been always helping you to create more capacity and more stability and train travel through digitalization. a pilot project in hamburg for self driving commuter trains are up and running after siemens deutscher. bon, and the city of hamburg invested 60000000 euros in a digital rail system. it's a big step for public transport in the city without laying any additional track. more trains are now able to run at shorter intervals. does not, as the special thing about this project is that for the 1st time we have automated trains driving in an open rail system. and we're using technology that was in purpose built for communal trains on rather it's transferable to freight trains as
1:41 pm
well as regional or long distance rail services found for camp. down here is the heart of the train security systems with more names that communicate with each other, ensuring that the trains drive safely than that there aren't any accidents id or if your audio stands for automatic train operation. and that's the standardized system for self driving trains. in europe, some ultimate is yet and found it. yes, yes. stands for european train control system longest. what that kazi does, the so that's the standard i safety system in europe, that monitors of the trains to make sure they don't drive too fast or too far on the slides. 5th, oh, thanks to the systems train, travel shouldn't just become more efficient and punctual. it will also mean energy savings of up to 30 percent and rail operators. hope that autonomous driving will reduce wear and tear on parts such as brakes. safety however is the main sticking point. is to oakland from thought silly, actually driving the trails,
1:42 pm
accelerating and breaking isn't the problem with mr. problem with my the problems come from operational processes, sub lawyer and file. for example. what to do when there is the malfunction is thump him up with you. how do you handle things in an automated vehicle when you no longer have a driver? at the kind of question people are asking to day. i'll give you much don't lose the which was august. it. that's why there are still drivers at the head of hamburg autonomous commuter trains an unforeseen event could mean the driver has to make an emergency stop. in addition to technical reasons, there are also legal ones requiring the presence of a driver in germany, it's still against the law for driverless trains to be on the tracks is loud and i don't think we're currently in a position to take dr. as out of latan in this trains, nor is it desirable. it doesn't make sense to do that,
1:43 pm
and it's not even necessary that i do think that self driving trains can really create added value animal capacity and put more trains on the tracks. particularly when you consider how hot it is today to find enough staff. how about to teach happen con matthew hancock? the need is there, especially in urban areas where experts predict a growing number of people will want to travel by train in the future when them moving on now and friends is the world's biggest consumer of this stuff, mustard but french dinner tables could soon be without the country's favourite condiment droughts, thousands of miles away in canada and having an impact across the atlantic. sonia found a car reports from a part of france where mustered really matters. o dijon, the capital of burgundy, is famous for the mustard that bears its name. the craft of mustard making dates
1:44 pm
back centuries in this medieval city. yet even in this town jars of the tango condiment, a near, impossible to find. this store owned by french mustard brand may is usually a big drawer with foreign tourists. but now even the french are here to get their favorite condiment after a disastrous harvest last year in canada, which supplies 80 percent of france is mustard seeds, the condiment of staple in french cuisine all but disappeared from supermarket shelves. even here, sales are restricted, only one job is allowed per household of the nose, tickling dijon, mustard work through the law. i can only get one jarred a time. i have lots of friends who asked me to get some because i live close by. so sometimes i drop by to get one urge or point a dollar amount, leg fan of dijon mustard. it's a real institution in france or side to be by a rug, the dirt with another. in the supermarkets,
1:45 pm
we found some mustard from paula to toughen who it's mustard warmer, but it's not the same. but it just doesn't have the same taste as dijon mustard. that special acidic flavor is explained by the burgundy regions. famous vineyards, dijon mustard is made by combining white wine with brown mustard seeds. but that key ingredient is in short supply. this mustard factory has a tough job on his hands. it's trying to keep up with demand despite a shortage of seeds. and does your is francis, 3rd largest mustard producer and employees a 165 people. the company has some stock of brown grain locally grown mustard seeds, but a crippling drought last year in canada as well as an unusually mild winter in france . devastated harvests in both countries, the companies to main suppliers. the double whammy means overall production is down 25 percent this year. see prices have skyrocketed and the factory sometimes
1:46 pm
struggles to me told us like whoo, biggest problem is that there's a lot of uncertainty about supplies. we've secured a few barrels on local burgundy, mustard sienna that were installed as for the rest, we have a week where we get to see it. and then a week where we hardly get any at all. knows what chasm opa luke found. emerson is also the president of the burgundy mustard association. he says the only way out is to limit that dependence on canadian suppliers by reviving local mustard production in the region. it currently makes up about 20 percent of supplies to the french sector lab for the future. we need to diversify our sources of mustard seeds. we can put all our eggs in one basket, or we certainly want to strongly raised the share of french production. firstly to secure supplies, but also were environmental reasons go. buying mustard seeds in burgundy is certainly better for our carbon footprint than buying them in canada. canada,
1:47 pm
the mustard companies are now offering significantly higher prices to farmers like have reached gena for their seeds. he's the president of an association that represents burgundy, mustard seed produces moscow de la vicky sooner he, they are, the aim is to fulfill about 50 percent of the industry's needs. whether that's a good thing for everyone. it balances the risks for muster companies well knowing and we would have local production here. happy mc sock was on. there wasn't a huge me, but it's still emblematic of our region tough because it's dijon mustard. after all, the usual weather the plan to ramp up local production is ambitious. it aims to more than double the land devoted to growing mustered seeds in burgundy from a current 4000 tech test 210004 now. however, the mustard shortage is here to stay, and it's also affecting restaurants like this one, offering regional fans. oh, clo napoleon has stopped serving mustard on the site and is rationing the supplies
1:48 pm
. it stopped at the beginning of the crisis. the chef has even modified his signature dish, a mustard chicken, cold lip who lay guess those yoga to ensure they don't run out. noble guns, a grammar here in burgundy, snails, mustard and wine are emblematic of our region and our identity for us. a shortage of mustard is complicated with it. so now we tried to make fewer dishes based on mustard of it. we've adapted our cooking. we use less of it where we try and replace mustard often with a spice or another dressing, or some lemon juice, or citrus fruit juice to compensate work or 40 little hopefully the hope here is that the beloved condiment will soon make a come back to once again, add spicy flavor to french cuisine from mustard to marijuana now, or it's perhaps best known for its intoxicating qualities, but down the centuries, hemp has played many of the roads in human civilization. not only can you consume
1:49 pm
it, but you can wear it or even build with it. so is now the time to rediscover the versatility of this often maligned plant, said arvada thinks it is caused by many names and cannabis marijuana we ganja. and just as diverse as his names are, it's uses. we made our take styles, paper, medicine, energy, oil, all it's hump until we started demonizing and criminalizing. now the make up plans is making a comeback. hemp has been one of the most planted crops in history. not because we have just a bunch of stunners, but because the recreational use of hemp is just the tip of the iceberg. for thousands of years, both animals and humans used it as an important food source. him cultivation started 12000 tuesday, going china. and from their humans to pray that ever,
1:50 pm
that sailors used highly durable, hemp for de ropes and sales. so they took the seats with them everywhere because of the root. hemp of the 2nd most used material on the ships. it's flowers had been used as medicine for thousands of years as well as in spiritual practices or just simply for pleasure. but then came to dark ages for cannabis. new technologies were invented, forgotten, which boosted supplies of fiber. trees replaced hamp as the papers. and later, a sales and drove were made with petroleum based synthetics. but what really killed the plant was something else. there was a side guys are for banning for substance use of recreational drugs. we've hammered it down into eyes humanities, head that this is an illegal and massively bad plans. but now,
1:51 pm
scientists as slowly discovering that its uses can go valid beyond that you'd have known so far and could help us clean up a lot of industries. a big one is construction, the building and housing industrial produce is almost 40 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions. but that might have changed at hampton is already in use as an installation metric. but now, more and more sustainable construction companies use, hemp create to build walls and floors to likeness to l. floor building made with him. great. in south africa hem crate is basically a mixture of ham shives, and lime lime, petrified. the hemp site doesn't be great or break. it is light, but strong. it is bray. the book site regulates moisture and temperature better. that means lower energy builds normal and basically non toxic environment. it is
1:52 pm
fire resistance and due to its flexibility, it can withstand major at craig. it's insulation properties that also the chat. it works as heat sound and humidity insulation. and after its lifetime hem creek can be reused as fertilizer, as it is totally organic. attempted moles lent him to produce less carbon than concrete months. they're actually carbon negative. that means hem good stores more c o 2 than it requires to make and transport. that is due to hems carbon storage capacity and fiber insulation stores on a net base. more than 50 kilograms of carbon dioxide per cubic meter of insulation . for your reference to production of gloss, val or raoul insulation, emits over 250 kilograms of carbon dioxide. but build stickle is in most countries construction regulations are very straight and introducing that new
1:53 pm
construction material can take years of testing and bureaucracy. hemp is at the beginning. go central. in many countries. we need to give it a new chance and stop putting all these regulations on and we need to free this up entirely for the industry is to really move forward. because if you know 0.01 percent of th c are the little things that prevents somebody in the building industry to get jives or jims and hurts for the building material than this industry has no way of moving forward. and can also help to reduce deforestation until the late 19th century must paper was made of hemp, early bibles, and even the drafts of the u. s. declaration of independence were written on hemp. but to day paper is made from traits. and it is one of the biggest drivers of deforestation every year. we lose forests, the size of portugal. 15 percent of all trees we chopped down are used to make
1:54 pm
paper. global demand is expected at least doubled. and in some cases, almost triple. while we are losing our florists, some companies are more willing to reintroduce hamp into their paper production. textile industry is a little bit to hold a grill to gem his leak or for her for any fiber. it's all say champion polluted because cotton needs a lot of toxic pesticides and motor a heck there of hand can produce 2 and a half times more fiber than a hector of cut and it can grow up to 5 meters within just 3 to 5 months. hem fiber is not only better for the environment, but it's strong fibers also make longer lusting textiles. less floater, less fertilizer, less than did no pesticides, but stronger and lusting fibers. but there is a catch. if you want to be a successful are implementing a m fiber into the textile industry,
1:55 pm
we have to modify the hemmed fiber to the existing deck. steel machinery. got all the way around, not going to happen because in fast, most to do so. i used to high thanks to the pressures the textile industry has been facing. companies and researchers have been trying to find alternatives. now using enzymes or mechanical processes, they have found environmental lays to cut the nice and integrate hemp fibers into their existing production. but this is still in the early stages and it's will take some time until the industry agrees on the best way to get the nice to hamp. this is the 1st problem. hemp is facing in other industries to lack of standard metas because of missing research and development for decades. regulations are still confusing and they change from country to country. these differences plus the fact that my one, i steal a controlled substance scare off the investors. but against all odds, global industrial hampton men. let's calculate that. they had a $4000000000.00 market value to any,
1:56 pm
to anyone. and he's expected to reach almost $17000000000.00 by 2030 many uses of marijuana. now brings to an end this edition of made data, we used business magazine. so next time tech ah ah ah, with
