11:36 am
the legal requirements are list, so most of the, the forgot permit free part. many states are now banning new registry offense and permit for the diesel and patrol or toes in the city. yet for the time being only a field of dry was switching from petrol or diesel vehicles to electric once habit and also people walk appear to be the main reasons for their reluctance. what is happening? introduce the market. it. there are fleet margins who have a fleet of 10 to 15. 200 exploits are told i am talking about it when i reckon and then pick to the people on delhi high. they live until it's very hard for us or for a customer or above them. from my life community to deal with the way it is stakeholders
11:37 am
in the system. so dealing with the vehicle manufacturer, the dealing with the department dealing with the insurance company from facilitating bank loans and insurance to helping with paperwork with the regional transport office and also offering smart battery swap system. the social enterprise is trying to make it as attractive, uneasy as possible to become an easy chair driver. loaded the bean and husband mckendra martin couple. they have a 4 year old son and shed a child taking it and turns to go to work. my hands supplies and either chuck or the living, he's always supported his wife in her work. but in a when s m. v green solutions told me that women were driving eating shows these days and i checked with my husband. he said yes indeed they were. and he asked me if i was interested in learning and that he would help me. but only if i wanted to
11:38 am
. i told him instantly, yes, i want to drive with. most of the was transported via big ships, with the, with 70 percent of them. as containerized cargo, but the international shipping industrial produces as much carbon dioxide each year as a big industrial country like germany. our reporter done deeper into why shipping to means are go to more to transport goods between countries. take a look at your standard t shirt. where does it come from? the label says made in turkey, nor mexico or bangladesh, but that's only part of its epic journey. the cotton probably comes from lubbock, texas. it's then woven, treated bleached, and died across the ocean in china, cut in stone into a t shirt and bangladesh sent back to the u. s. a couple of clicks later. it's
11:39 am
traveling across another ocean, say to berlin, where it sold for for euros. 99. it sounds like madness, but it's actually shipping. shipping is so cheap that some aspects seem absurd. for example, it rains 247 in belgium, yet we buy um water and the is bottled in south pacific fish gets caught in the north sea. it then goes freight then to asia, where it's billeted and sent back, but there is a hidden cost to these curiosities. the full price of shipping is being paid by the environment in relative terms, shipping is very efficient, transporting one ton of cargo em. it's 16 grams of c o 2 per kilometer. it's over 10 times that by road and by air, it's a lot more. but in absolute terms, it's an absolute nightmare. is she a distance?
11:40 am
is that mean that is a mission stack up and become a problem? lucy gillian works for sees at risk and association of n g o's working to protect the oceans. $0.80, it ships abounding heavy fuel. no riches. i really think viscous pulling feel. it's kind of, it's one step away from tom. and he day the industry emits as much as all the coal plants in the us and just a bit less than aviation. but somehow shipping escape scrutiny. shipping is the only sector it doesn't pay for carbon pollution fight abbas off leads the shipping program at transport. an environment and enjo campaigning for cleaner transport. it's the only sector that doesn't pay taxes on the fossil fuels uses. it doesn't pay 80 percent, the global leaders, they agree to impose 15 percent global minimum corporate taxation rate that was on
11:41 am
one second. that was exempt. as shipping, but how can that be given the scale ships handle some 90 percent of global trade? then there's a strange little enigma. imagine something going wrong on a japanese built american owned tanker. sailed by a philippine crew managed by a cypriot sailing from china to canada. can international waters. who do you blame? well, maybe panama, panama, marshall islands, liberia, bahamas, malta is 5 countries, which you don't really hear on our, on a daily basis, right? they're not really big powers in the global politics or even economics. they are the king makers when it comes to shipping. that's because of a system called flag of convenience. the practice began during the prohibition era selling alcohol in the usa was illegal,
11:42 am
so passenger ship owners began registering their ships in panama, so they could serve drinks on board. the international maritime organization is the only body that can set policy for the entire sector. it's a un agency task with, among other things, fighting climate change, but as done the opposite. there are multiple reasons. first of all, at the imo, members, states are normally represented by the ministries of transports. they want to promote shipping aviation, and so on and so forth. climate are environmental challenges that has not been traditionally speaking their domain, that the domain of the climate ministry or environment minister. so this is a kind of structural problem and policies are rarely put to vote. the i am o prefers to rule by consensus, which gives louder voices, a de facto veto power, and number 3, industry has powerful lobbying associations, electricity, national delegations, and in many cases, put pressure on the governments. 30 percent of its representatives are not policy
11:43 am
makers, but business people, the highest number in any un agency. ah managed build as a big ships to exploit economist trade, the f, a neighborhood industries to create one year a bikinis and t shirts that it just said cheat. the people think of them is disposable. and that's been facilitated by cheap shipping. that doesn't pay for it . please, ah, when it comes to emissions is absolutely no excuse how slow the shipping industry is going to address that. it's just, it's absolutely shameful. mm. but momentum for change is building. it's recognized that we can't so climate change with that will say solving the emissions problem from shipping. the european union is taking a leading role to force companies to reduce emissions. and innovation can be
11:44 am
a huge help or believe technology such as batteries for shorter, since vessels, green hydrogen or getting hydrogen bays, fuels can fill that gap and fully to come in either sector. but it takes good timing and effort to turn a tanker around and the i m o has displayed. neither shipping hasn't shown that it can move swiftly when it comes to reforming itself with thing. that is possible. it is doable, but it's not going to happen on his own. then it's the regulations that mandate switch to those sustainable behaviors. sustainable technologies on the shipping companies need to renew ships would be far more expensive, but at german conservation group has worked out that those for $99.00 t shirts would then cost just $0.02 more. sometimes small changes can leads
11:45 am
to big results in kenya, for instance, fishermen were offered the chance to swap the engines on their boats from diesel electric baldwood. let's take a look at how much of a difference it's made for they work. and they said on dings. ah asked dusk fools, jared utter know hits out on to lake victoria. since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe them, exhaust fumes. and it's not as noisy either. or tina was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to move careful with the propeller dublin. so run it through tubes. it might order me get contact with her manila you the 1st 3 all the gear saw removing. you'd have gum cumbersome reviews while you just do just

automatically come up with some of the fishermen use solar lamps to mark out the area where they plan to cast their large net with the lights, slowly attracts the fish to the surface. then in the early morning, i pull up the neck. the nights are long on the lake, only after 12 hours do the fisherman returned to me again. a beach in the town of m, b t r a t n a share the proceeds of the cat with the other fisherman, after deducting expenses, he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called or softball lab worker. every morning he returns the used batteries, and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set, a silver rains out the motors for the equivalent of around $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. a lot of money for fishermen here.
11:47 am
the dutch started a sober, had to do a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water, the fishermen have to call their rescue number that we can resolve on core. but sometimes when their technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency. more than 15 fishermen have signed a contract with the company i saw as working to improve their offer to get more
11:48 am
customers because it's made contact with companies in kenya and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate. in the 2nd life batteries will make them more duleigh. so that also we might, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if we were come on to war far, we give them more bodies. then we tried this rich, i'd feed, but, but see like, you don't go far. we give you full batteries, you, hon. shorter distance we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. a soho as the 1st company in kenya to invest an e, mobility on water. and one of the few in general on the countries markets around $25000.00, both are out on lake victoria every day. and many of them belong to kenyan fisherman who used combustion engines which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get small silver sy printed from the lake and
11:49 am
they catch quotas have also declined in recent years. jared or tina is wife and mother take care of the catch every morning, 1st drying it and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main source of income for the family of 12. they also the money to pay the school fees for their $4.00 children. and they've even managed to build a 2nd boat. jared atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he has a plan for his family. i'm praying god willing that my children know to be fishing was so be suited of us to another system. basil i now i'm so i put in a 2 cushion for friday. would additional info from bare b if they're employed to become change my, our life. jared, atlanta has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors properly, but he and a sofa, a still among the pioneers of
