for our portfolio d w business beyond here, the closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market dominance is to this is wes good. instead that head with the w business beyond to come have a b t v highlights you every week in your in box subscribe. now this is deed of the news, africa coming up on the program. come africa become a well lead up in the green energy revolution. what all the abandons natural resources available on the continent. africa seems perfectly pleased to lead the way. by what challenges lie ahead. we'll find out also coming up.

could he bola, be over in uganda. the country says it has discharged its last known bull. our patients from hospital raising holds for the end of its latest outbreak. and we meet the congolese born norwegian artists addressing the issues of racism, diversity on colony allison in have fast solo exhibition a i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. now could africa become elidah in supplying green fuel to the wild? that question has become even more relevant to us. russia continues its invasion of ukraine. creatin disruption in europe's energy supplies. germany is one of the countries scrambling for alternatives,

intruding on the african continent. this week, the country's minister of economy and climates roberts havoc visited 2 nations in south africa as the media on south africa, both of which are look into water green hydrogen. fuel production. in the media have a supported a $10000000000.00 hydrogen projects from each german firm. there, however, concerns that africa would not fully benefit or be in control of its own green energy resources. but harvard was quick to ali those fears, seeing the last thing we should accept as some kind of green energy into realism. we'll explore all that with an expert in a bit. but 1st, what is green hydrogen, and how come this clean fuel benefit africa? let's get a better understanding from one project in south africa. it's here at a small site around 150 miles north of cape town that we get a glimpse of what south africa is. energy future could look like. this is one of

the country's 1st green hydrogen projects, and it all works using the power of the sun rather than fossil fuels like coal oil . this to electrolyte effects. they give the ha, the, the in the, you from the, from the sun in. we supply them with your order and the forces in the 6th place in these 2 electrolyte. and when it happens here, what is indeed, hadn't been the facility is only producing a small amount of green hydrogen right now, but they are already planning to expand to a bigger commercial site. it's a renewable energy source that is seen as vital in the world shift away from fossil fuels. and african countries are purple in place to lead the way. production is especially suited to areas with plenty of sunshine,

the less densely populated. but it has to be done on a large scale and the cost to put the infrastructure in place will be huge. so lot still to do with many questions remaining to over whether south africa is ready to take advantage. we really need to get some policy regulatory and planning 70, which gives investors the confidence as to move forward in these very significant kind of project. ah, south africa depends on cove the lion's share of its power generation, driven by a large scale coal mining industry. but it now sees green hydrogen as a key element of its transition away from the fossil fuel. and if the country gets this right, it could help transform the world's 13th biggest polluter into a green energy power house, capable of producing 10000000 tons of the stuff by 2050,

not only potentially leading africa, but the world to was a green energy revolution. johnny now is that jacobi will, geta e, professor of energy and development policy, or the faculty of engineering university college london. hello, and welcome to the program said, so can africa really be a leader in the well green energy revolution? thank you for having me. my answer is there is a strong, theoretical possibility. africa endowed with significance, renewable energy, resources from solar to wind, geothermal. depending on hype, one disease over the different regions, the other half or sees that africa are still has many of the critical minerals for renewable energy, such as lithium graphite, cobalt copper, and rare minerals, which are absolutely gone for, for the development of renewable energy revolution. ok,

so the natural resources are that the potential is there, but what needs to be in place to achieve that what, what, having the resources is one thing again and, but it's about converting resources to, to tangible assets. and, and this is where the real challenges and what africa needs to african countries need to negotiate and have ambition towards is to have a strong manufacturing base for renewable energy technologies where they participate in the entire value chain of renewable energy. now these would require policies, these would require building institutions, would require serious industrial policies that would harness these resources. we just need a report that was looking into green,

hydro didn't hydrogen energy, i should say, especially south an african countries. i would definitely if this were to be possible, what would it mean for africa to harness the source of energy? well, i mean, there are going to be some countries that may not be able to harness this. so i think, you know, we're talking about a handful of countries at the moment. now maybe on africa, you know, there's also a movement in mauritania. so certainly one thing that green hydrogen offers is flexibility because it's not just electricity production, but also being able to transport and energy energy but also produce ammonia which of which clearly is quite important for agricultural production. so there are some meaningful benefits that could be acquired from the development of

hydrogen energy. ok, i'm just like many. i tend to wait to see that become a reality. i mean, rachelle warren ukraine is making especially to europe seek new sources of energy from africa. but how can africa fully benefit from green hydrogen energy and prevent it in germany minutes, the habits words form some kind of green energy imperialism. i think it's, it's, it's some, it's to be commended. not the minister made that statement. what we have seen in the past is africa being annexed, playing the role of the export that are of raw materials, but also importer of finished technologies. and that's something that needs to be avoided. i think that's what he meant by, by energy, imperialism, or climate,

imperialism, or some people who would refer to it. so the, what it means then is that africa has to play a significant role in the entire value chain. of renewable energy production as well as hydrogen production. it means you know, having the industrial base to be able to benefit in terms of jobs in terms of economic security and, and other co benefits that come along with that. okay. yeah, i want to get a professor of energy and development policy, the university college london. thank you very much for your insights. thank you. thank you very much for having me, hulu. you're watching. did of the news africa still to come to get a new perspective. we meet the award winning congolese born artist behind this new sort of exhibition right here, invalid. now, before we get into that,

let's go to uganda. the country has received a shipment of the boiler vaccine candidates from the world health organization for clinical trials. that's welcoming news for a country that is going to another outbreak of the disease which has infected more than a 100 people and killed at least $55.00 last week. uganda said it had discharged its last the bull, our patients from hospital reason, hopes for the end of an outbreak of that deadly disease. our correspondence studios more gambler has more in this report from bender in central uganda a hospital nightmare. when a patient was rushed to mobile, the hospital and central uganda, doctor's recommended surgery, medical student hudson concert was on the team that carried out the procedure. he had a good proposition that needed a subject him to work on them. so being the medieval into and on the emergency department,

i was under to read through this fission decision deserted over to me. and i had to prepare the speech and so that we can operate on that patient. but we didn't know that efficient is probably effected with a boiler virus. the patient died and was later confirmed as uganda's. first of all, a case in the recent outbreak, cancer and his medical team of 6 contracted the virus. he became seriously ill. there was that more mean, vic, i really felt like death. he's coming when i started feeling there, you're there, there is no place you feel comfortable in. and when may friend make or league that i was within a sim room, dade, and i was like, oh, he had to and you're going to day the government instituted travel restrictions and a curfew to try to curve the spread many of those infected didn't even know they had the virus topic well, meaning that this actually happening i t,

we said having numbers, ways people die. i to me, instituted it a restriction woman, which we call a lockdown good consists of all the virus made it into the capital compiler home to over 3000000 people. contact racing was difficult in a densely populated city. the world health organization states that a country must wait $42.00 days, double the viruses incubation time after the last known case to declare itself a bowl of free. having survived the deadly virus cancer wants to return to the front line against if allah. at the moment i was sick, i only needed someone to lake talk to me, encourage me to feed, encourage me to drink something. so when a good healed and a good, bitter when they thank to the doctor who treated me. he actually told me no learn. thank me, you go back and do what out then for you. few gander and the world health organization

have planned to start trials for a vaccine against the sudan strain. from all this, i am al, joined by a dr. richard he dro, associate professor at michaela university and a former president of uganda medical association. hello and welcome to the program say so uganda has discharged the last known he bull, our patient. that's good news, but we've been here before. is it too early to celebrate the end of ebola in uganda? indeed, the good news too, in the country away to celebrate the milestone. since the outbreak started on the 20th of september, we have had $142.00 confirmed cases. and unfortunately lost $65.00 of them including 12 children and that 7 has

what we indeed celebrate the last person being discharged. but we have to maintain the surveillance because for from last year. so we need to go up to $42.00 days before we can play we had done, we would be around drop it off a ball in the country, especially because this was the 8th outbreak of ebola in uganda. why has it been so difficult to eradicate that his ease there is, is a disease we come to the form of a mix. it's not a continuous is the we have to measure the 2 types of outbreaks. then divide us, which is better than type this all the congo type demik is

the type. it's one of those which previously cause every day became the big country. so it comes, we get it in the tree, we are alone. we are alone. the equip that along the tropical belt me up to the combo where some of the firm, this episode where we can transmit. so there the environment. it's where these things breathe, though a bit trapped across making fat breed as is that to see we should expect possible more variance in the future and that a bought out is not going anywhere. we do not expect a new finance but type intermittent 3 different vehicles,

especially these to finance be much because they are that exempt we have in the, in the, in daily job we're talking about several outbreaks so far. how kind of another outbreak be prevented it if it's i then to play the best office and that if that's the best tough because that's one. but this 2nd most important bit is surveillance. death in the single case this case appear in environment is identified. i mean is contained where it is treated menu made on the people we lost during the fact that we lost them is that the back of the epidemic, but low,

the way the individual sway identified that they picked it and almost all those who are treated like so tell us how well equipped is uganda to talk prevent about possible outbreak. so you go to that is a fairly well equipped intensely where human resources expertise. we have several different economics over the years and it's a big the ministry has developed systems. that's one of the best in the job is dealing with and it is based on this, but even nobody countryside regions experts which are contained simulated they mix of well, i've gone for you. so you may think fairly well they quit. ok, we're going to be optimistic, dr. richard ego from our president of gunner medical association. thank you very much for your time. thank you, glenn. pleasure. ah,

now sandra was younger, easy congolese born the wage, an artist who won the prestigious prize of the national gallery. right here in berlin, that was last year. as a result of that, she's now been honored with the solo exhibition at the cities hamburger ban of museum. for her, it's an opportunity to make great art in the truest sense of the word. sandra medina is dwarfed by her huge installation at berlin's hamburger been hoff. ready i build my skin with rocks is a mixture of sculpture and video art. a hybrid being created by the norwegian artist, especially for her exhibition that the national gallery of contemporary art. ready with the creature of very much inspired by this idea of the last elephant

that would exist in a world is like thinking about extinction. but it's also thinking about ways of like the responsibility of being the last of your kind and bearing like a body and existing through this world. in 2021, she created sculptures from scraps of fabric, bringing together, seemingly contradictory things, whether the bodies emerge or disappear, threaten or protect remains open. for this, she won the national gallery prize, enabling her to mount the current solo exhibition. the 33 year old was born in the democratic republic of congo. she grew up in norway and now works in oslo in berlin . her art is multifaceted central motifs our bodies, their forms and their skin, with her ghost like creatures at this year's van if be an alley, she also addressed the colonial past, which remains ever present like a ghost. her work is often about living and working in an environment that is under

threat this year with sandra. we couldn't have thought of a better artist who is truly, truly immersed and very, very important issues of her work. deals with the question of sustainability and climate and decay a nature race, gender, the notion of visibility and visibility of transformation of fluidity. the installation i, my skin with rocks once again places, skin the center of her work as a universal artistic motif. elephant skin is kind of something that i've been thinking about for some while whether to be like this idea of really surviving and having a tough skin and also kind of been conditioned to survive in a tough world. now las sandra machine guy came to our studio for

a chat. she's lived and worked in several different locations around a while. so i asked her how these faces like are slow nairobi, and berlin have influenced her work. yes, some sense events made me more. i think fearless, it has also made me carry like a sense of, you know, sensitivity to and i think it's really important to just generally challenge myself to not be in a bubble. and often when i'm in a place where i'm very comfortable, i tend to move all so yeah, i mean, why you've been around. so i'm running away. yeah. yeah. but i mean, what really is the message you trying to communicate with the work or the artwork that you do? i think what i, why i'm so drawn to speculative fiction or world building or rewording, it is kind of to rethink existing structures to somehow dare to think other ways of being together as human and also how we exist on planet and also how we exist with

other non humans to and other living organisms. so i think quite often we just center this human experience and in some sense like science fiction and gives us like this possibility to think of all the worlds interesting out of wilds science fiction. what is the correlation between that and your work focusing on quality, autism, racism, and you know, cultural diversity. i think you on control science fiction, a lot weight of colonialism. this idea of coming to a place that is like, it's different and it looks. and then we ate encountering, like a new sort of world. and that's why i'm also so drawn to, i think about this question. so wendy, the world and, you know, way, i think for many, it has like, ended in different ways. also through colonialism, what cultures have been erased, and so in some sense with science fiction for me is not only about the future like future science. fiction is also a way to reclaim a past. it's kind of,

it's important maybe based on my own identity or being born in congo and being raised in no way. one is up with a sense of being answered and that is always been such a bad thing. but for me that all that i get being the other is also kind of a gift because it's also a question of like whether you want to belong to a world that is not really good. yeah. do you have a target audience or is it, you know, because i know artist can easily go like we're putting the art out there and who should connect with how the field is that the where you go or you do you have a target audience? i think for me is the most important thing is that i am very honest with myself. and through that honesty i often reach people and then i can always like experience i, i think because also work with music. and i think in that sense, i'm so used to different audiences,

and i find it particularly interesting when i get different views on my arts and some will just get it instantly and others will focus on different things. so that is what i also find a very beautiful that are in itself can gather all this different people in a space and ship and it being shared. yeah. now, you as a young person, really into our 12 developing all the potential that you have that many young ones watching you right now. give us, give them watch and this will discover, i don't know which one. maybe this one, i give them that message. what do you have for them? oh, to what i would say is like to truly and honestly, be yourself no matter what, regardless that is truly your gift. and that is truly a power. and to always claim that space for yourself. and it seems quite simple, but it's not if you live in a world that continue to remind you of your lack,

but your lack doesn't necessarily have to be a lack if can truly be a gift. so i love that. thank you very much for seeing those words. sandra was nga stein, global as well. thank you very much for the time and all the best with your school exhibition. thank you so much and that's how we wrap up the show from all of our stories. go to d, w dot com slash africa, or visit us on facebook and twitter. not a man's woke up is still going on in god talbot. what he taught him ends without the fans. we leave you with some pictures of african football fans. reacting to the games, we'll see you next time. i for now. thank
