your own health advocate by turning into your own expert. we are your coach without any fiction and want to be active in a clever way with on d w. ah, ah ah, clean energy from africa to europe, a new plant and mauritania will provide germany with green hydrogen, much needed after losing russian gas. will hear from the head of the consortium building it. and europe's economic engine spotters on progress towards gender equality for international women's day. take

a close look at germany's stubbornly high gender pay gap and what's being done to fix it. i'm christy platt than welcome back to another dw business from berlin. the future of european energy could rely on africa with lots of wind and sunshine. much of the continent is ideal for generating clean electricity, or for using it to create another clean fuel. hydrogen. now, the united arab emirates, egypt, and germany have struck a $24000000000.00 deal in mauritania, where they'll build a hydrogen facility near the capital new ac shot. it has a plan capacity of 10 gigawatts, that's the output of roughly $5.00 to $6.00 standard nuclear power plants. the 1st phase of the project is set to be completed by 2028. our stuff on leaving is the ceo of conjunct of the german developer on this product. i asked him why it was important for germany and for mauritania. germany at the moment, important 2 thirds of its energy needs into formal fossil energy or coal. yes. and

if you want to become green by 2045, this is a low, it's only going to happen by turning some of these quotes into green products. an important thing. products and morgan has the potential for taking officio that need and demand in producing hydrogen based. they're reverse. ok, and what happens now that all parties are on board with this project? where does it go from here? you signed an agreement today, so to join, did you buy the 1st phase of the page, going to have a size of $400.00 megawatts in thomas's capacity. and we're now going to use the next few months to undertake initial studies to check wind. and so a characteristics of the site to, to do it detailed technical planning and to look out to financing. and then we're going to go full speed in building the 1st pilot face of the, you know,

the project on the road. well, you just mentioned wind and solar. i actually wanted to ask you, you know, i understand this was a hydrogen project, but more a 10 years, also known to be well suited for wind and solar. so you're saying it will be both, or can you explain that to me? we're going to build a plan that is going to produce green hydrogen and the projects that make it a bit easier to transport electron. this is going to be fed. i agree to that tricity, that's the main input component to produce hydrogen. and that green electricity is going to be coming from new wind. and so no tv feels in the area that we need to build. okay, and now yeah, i understand that the more tanya has the right conditions to generate these kinds of energy, but they're also maybe structural or political reasons why this area made for a good partnership for germany. hello, i'm ortega is considered to be one of the best locations worldwide to produce

hydrogen because it's a blessed with at great wind and solar conditions at the same time, which is important to run electron this plans around the clock on. so we believe technical and commercial conditions are very attractive, and mauritania has been a stable or a country in a region that sometimes is into difficulties. and the government has expressed strong interest to build stronger nations with germany. and this could be a 1st lecture project that will strengthen ties and things, because mauritania could become a significant supply of green adequacy and, and green energy to germany. could the hydrogen be exported anywhere else besides germany? sure, um there is no, there is no commitment or no decision made yet. so the hydrogen that's going to

leave mauretania and principal be exported everywhere. and germany was a strong and ambitious targets on an energy transition, i think is a natural place to go. we also need to replace some of the russian guest volumes that stop coming, so we need green substitutes for, for natural gas. and that is why we would 1st be looking at germany, but of course a part of the product can also go anywhere else in the world where, where this is significant demand in the market for it. though a chef on leaving the ceo of conjunct up. thank you so much. thank you. while this next ones in light of international women's day, around the world, women earn less than men in germany. it's around 20 percent less one of the biggest gaps in europe. but not everyone's willing to wait for structural change to set things right. the berlin co working office tuesday co working wants to help women close this gap a bit with a special discount. this woman pays 19 percent less than

a man for her space at a co working office. it's a gesture of support from the company since on average, women are still paid less than men. oceanside sentences, sir, i think it's a big problem across society. of course it's a small contribution, but it's something that i really, really appreciate that other than kirk smith finance and woodson sky. i think the 19 percent rule is great for me. it's a sign from the owners of the space that we care working space and what we're saying we care. men are outnumbered here and they don't mind the different rates women, clothing. it's a nice idea. i think the whole space is trying to create a strong community for people and if this helps good time or gender bones representation, i think it's a good thing can, isn't it from the list? i don't think it's unfair. i mean, there's a pay gap, not just on the job, but across entire careers. so when you take a step back, i don't think that me paying more is wrong tuesday,

co working introduce the discount for women freelancer's in 2021. it applies to 4 locations. the company says it's trying to be more socially responsible. i guess physical working is trying to set an example to other companies to try to help ends the gender big out not only in germany, but also world wides. so this was sort of our way of telling everyone, hey, we're doing this. maybe you should all consider this as well. the equal pay day flag, local politicians, raise it in berlin. equal pay day symbolizes the fact that in purely mathematical terms, women work for free for the 1st 2 months of the year when compared to men. and the gap has hardly narrowed over the years. dash been applied to one with sta. old patterns are still playing a factor here. women are negotiating as well as men. women often hide their talents and are more modest when it comes to job interviews. role models are also very important. having women in leadership and mentorship positions with its own mentor

. and then it's also about rethinking society. after all, typically male professions enjoy more prestige than professions dominated by women . doesn't. that is one probably of this is the basic problem. after all that social recognition is lacking, we've witnessed it throughout the pandemic without the social infrastructure. nothing works, but those same professions are paid much less. more recognition tuesday co worker is taking steps. it's a discount for now, but bendy to blackman hopes that will encourage other companies to rethink their own practices well for more on international women's day and a view from the u. s. we go now to youngs courts a in new york. now young, this pagan, we were just hearing about it obviously has a lot to do with the types of careers and positions that women have. you're out there on the trading floor every day at the new york stock exchange. what's the gender breakdown like there? well, i mean, the wall street and the financial industry is so obviously

a big field when it just comes to trading. i have to say this is still immense. well, i mean, i've worked here for a good to 20 years and you can count the number of women working on the floor. pretty much on the one hand i'm having that said so the financial industry is broader and other areas. you see more women, but overall, if you compare certain industries, the financial industry is definitely one of those where women are highly under represented. ok. well, that's concerning. of course, i mean is anything being done to improve this? well, i mean, at least there is some awareness for some years. i mean, i've talked to women in the industry for quite some time, but what i've heard so often and still do that, it is much tougher for women than for men when it comes to pay, but also chances to got the better and higher paid position. so as i said,

there is a van of some things are done, you do you more women in certain areas of the business that maybe one more word to the pay get besides the financial industry in general, a lot was done in the united states between the sixty's to the early 2000, but then it pretty much stopped so that over all women for the same job that men do get still paid only about 82 percent on average. so definitely much more room for improvement on issue outside of germany as well. yeah. corda, thanks from a bespoke suit. allah james bond to an english draped fit for a duke saddle row in central london is the number one shopping destination for men . and now it seems for women to one tailor on the famous fashion street is catering specifically to women. having survived the pandemic bricks that and the cost of living crisis, the company says the future is now looking bright as more and more customers are coming in. welcome to london's several web brushes. gentlemen,
