the mediterranean, ah, it's waters connect people of many cultures seen of emma's rock and to far do korean drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean where it has history left its traces. meeting people hearing their dreams mediterranean during this week on d w. ah ah ah ah, the modern world needs energy. lots of it, the matt need is only growing however,

it's becoming harder to fulfill with supplies running scarce and prices soaring to new. hi, especially here in europe. securing enough energy to go round as 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 is it high time we re discovered the many uses of hemp welcome to made tito he's 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 are 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. 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 flight 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

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 being sent through this pipeline 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 warn 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 this year. we are working all the time to optimize the new agent transport system. the industry has

been able to increase the output partially due to delaying maintenance work, c, e o, for the levels of expects even higher volumes of gas to 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 into the market 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 prices are high, we do a job anyway, so that so that's our main focus related, reliable supply through europe. norwegian suppliers and european customers will 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 country's gas output. there is a lead time from when you discover

a field to it comes on production and will very yeah, of course with the where the field is located, the complexity of 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, are the countries main source of electricity, hydro electric power, this reservoir and the power station. it's connected to provide energy to the entire 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 exploration her and investments and 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 that learner we from gas will, will be important in the energy transition that 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 the answer could simply be using less energy heat pumps as 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. o r. 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 palm, 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 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 a 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 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. that's not just household that are hoping to save on their energy bills. businesses are also keeping an eye out for new ways to be more efficient, provide us of public transport, look to the latest technology to make things move quicker and cheaper. in hamburg,

cutting edge trains could help with cutting down costs. but this chain travel is complicated, always has been, always will be able 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, deutsche a bomb. 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 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. and euro from ultimate is yet and found it. yes, yes. stands for european train control system longest. was that kazi does this, so that's the standardized safety system in europe that monitors the trains to make sure they don't drive too fast or too far on the slides. 5th, oh, thanks to these 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 toyland from fought sweden actually driving the

trails, accelerating and breaking isn't the problem is missed us probably was not the problems come from operational processes, sub lawyer and file. for example. what to do when there's the malfunction is thump him up with you. how do you handle things in an automated vehicle when you no longer have a driver? that's the kind of question people are asking today is august, much don't lose the schwartz with august at 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 and it's not even necessary.

but i do think that self driving trains can really create added value admiral capacity and put more trains on the tracks, particularly when you consider how hard it is today to find enough staff. how about to teach happen con matthew, the found come 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 friend 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 diesel, the capital of burgundy is famous for the mustard that bears its name,

the craft of mustard making dates 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. to the law, i can only get one jar at 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 pie both a dollar amount leg fan of dijon mustard. it's a real institution in france also to be by a dog dirt with another. in the supermarkets, we found some mustard from paula through the feminine 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 the diesel is frances 3rd largest mustard producer and employee is 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 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 their 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 over 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. like okay, little 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, mc sock was on. there wasn't a huge me, but it still emblematic of our region because as dijon mustard after all, the usual what 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 heck test 210004 now. however, the mustard shortage is here to stay. and it's also affecting restaurants like this one, offering regional. yes, sir. so close, napoleon has stopped serving mustard on the site and is rationing the supplies. it

stopped at the beginning of the crisis. the chef has even modified his signature dish, a mustard chicken cold lip who lay guessed on sierra 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, said sir, 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 who are co 40. the so 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, are there any,

can you consume 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 names are, it's uses. we made our take styles, paper, medicine, energy, oil, all the temp until we started demonizing and criminalizing it. now the make up plans is making a comeback. i have has been one of the most planted crops in history. not because you're just a bunch of standers, but because the recreational use of hamp is just the tip of the iceberg. for thousands of years, both animals and humans used it as an important food source hemmed cultivation started 12000 tuesday, going china. and from there, humans spread it ever,

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 bad as in spiritual practices or just simply for pleasure. but then came the dark ages for cannabis. new technologies were invented for cotton, which boosted supplies of fiber. trees, replaced hamp as the paper search. and later, a sales and drove were made with petroleum based synthetics. but what really killed the plant was something else. there was a site guys are for banning for substance abuse of recreation and rock. we've hammered it down into eyes humanities, head that this is an illegal and massively bad plans. but now scientists as

slowly discovering that it's jesus 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 industry produces almost 40 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions. but that might have changed at hemp wound is already in use as an installation mentoring. but now more and more sustainable construction companies use, hemp create to build walls and floors to like this to well floor building made with him. great. in south africa hem crate is basically a mixture of hem shives and lime lines. petrified. the hemp site doesn't be great or break. it is light, but strong. it is breathable. site regulates moisture and temperature better. that means lower energy builds normal and basically non toxic environment. it is fire resistance and due to its flexibility,

it can withstand major at craig. it's insulation properties that also the shut. it works as heat sound and humidity insulation. and after its lifetime hem crate 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 strict and introducing that new 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. we need to free this up entirely for the industry is to really move forward. because if you know 0.01 percent of t h c are the little things that prevents somebody in the building industry to get jives gorgeous and herds 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. it 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 trees. and it is one of the biggest drivers of deforestation every year. viola, forests, the size of portugal, 15 percent of all trees be chopped down, are used to make paper. global demand is expected at least doubled. and in some

cases, almost triple violet, losing our forests. some companies are more willing to reintroduce hamp into their paper. production. textile industry is a little bit to holy grail, the generous league for her, for any fiber. it's all said champion politics because cotton needs a lot of toxic pesticides and motor take care of him can produce 2 and a half times more fiber than a heck of cuts. and it can grow up to 5 meters within just 3 to 5 months. fiber is not on the better for the environment, but its strong fibers also make longer lusting textiles. less water, less fertilizer, less than did not pesticides, but stronger and lusting fibers. but there is a catch. if you want to be successful implementing m fiber into the textile industry, we have to modify him fiber to the existing fixture machinery. because all the way

around is not going to happen because the investments to do so. i used to hi, thanks for the patience the textile industry has been facing companies and researchers have been trying to find out that now using enzymes or mechanical processes, they have found environmental lays to cut them eyes and integrate hemp fibers into their existing products. but this is still in the early stages, and it will take some time until the industry agrees on the best way to get the knife to him. this is the 1st problem. hemp is facing in other industries to lack of standard matters 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 is still a controlled substance, care of the investors. but against all odds, global industrial hampton men. let's calculate that. they have a $4000000000.00 market value to any, to anyone. and he's expected to reach almost $17000000000.00 by 2030.
