the writers do it on t w. t w's crime fighters are back africans, most successful radio drama series continues this season. the stories focus on hate speech, color of prevention and sustainable charcoal production. all episodes are available online. and of course, you can share and discuss on d, w, africa's facebook page and other social media platforms, crime fighters, tune in now. mm. mm. ah, humans are dependent on energy, whether it's to heat our homes, book or food, or travel to work. but this dependency fueled by its limited resources, has led to
4:31 pm
a crisis that threatens the world. as we know it, humanities only hope is to change the way we think about energy and debbie get it from. that's what we'll talk about tonight. hello and welcome to eco, india. i'm some of that i go now garbage is another problem. give clear it. every day we produce more than 2000000000 tons of solid waste. in dummy nod, we'll adjust a, using their trash to generate energy solving to problems at once. let's see how ah a little boss. some done walk through this village and you will noticed all of these lights come on. these lights are powered by this, this, this and this. the autumn country, runcle village and dominant zivare gun guy, district gear that generate electricity from vase using this bow. gas blocked. everybody keeps talking, notice about westerbelt. so this is
4:32 pm
a perfect as on mission in that angle, dom law do generates more than 14 and a half tons of solid risk every day. most of it is collected by local municipal bodies, but only half of it is processed. the rest goes straight to landfills we're collecting, we're collecting all the rest and generalizing. we're trying to segregate, we're in processing assets that we're not 100 percent of processing in many places . so now that attempt to we're making the blonde receives race from more than $4000.00 households and come to wrangell village. additionally, the civil gun guy down an 8 near by villages also contribute ways from their vegetable markets to the blonde. on average, the blonde receives anywhere between 500 to 1800 kilograms of bio degradable waste every day. the village president money moved to say is that this process reduces the burden of vist management on those local bodies. funny commer oh,
4:33 pm
sunday retina, now apart. so let's assume there is a leaky market in one of those villages. on a saturday, we go in the evening and collect the v est with the vehicle. when we do saw, the village saves about $15000.00 rupees money that it would have otherwise. spangler did that act left like 60000 rupees amanda's when any product or not. even i believe that once the waste is sent to the bio guest blonde, it falls within the purview of the blonde supervisor. so godaddy branch, he works long site to sanitary, were because in overseas operations in the blonde to ensure everything runs smoothly. although the biodegradable waste is already segregated when it arrives, pradeep says it is necessary to repeat the process. only it contained biodegradable waste only that many to cross ticket to insure it. it doesn't contain anything like last extent of it. we get, it isn't enough of the tables, chicken parts and things from the students and vis from which other schools and fish markets like october think negated,
4:34 pm
which of the missed up and send it on to for the next, a standalone for that next, the se, debit travels through a school type, convince straight to the shredder, where it is mixed with water and flows down to the edge of data. the agitator is nothing but a collecting tank that continuously stirs the waste before feeding it to the digestion. but before we get into what that is, that is an important step which involves cow dung. and on that, if we get a lot of cytochrome to count of the acidity, we add about 100 k g of golden doodle processing that and shows that d back d d i inside survives i. d. act quickly. we could add an out of now back to the digest. it is this huge balloon like structure. and here is where the magic happens . this digestive capacity is to metric tons, meaning it can process 2000 gallows of vase width 2000 litters of water at any given time. the rest of it to the digester takes just
4:35 pm
a month to decompose. that process would be 3 times as long if the refuse were left out in the open will not honest if you don't, the based on that or the police becomes dirty. landfilling happens that problem of landfilling thought because of it by best learning or love that melodies, anyone who wants to buy a gas is produced. unwanted gases and most of content are scrubbed out and the filtered gas is fact of the generator for electricity generation and can go out in the dense dorna capacity degenerate has capacities 15 kilowatt like engineered up to 100 units of electricity, the name of the indict unique is powered by mortality, nicky. as a day movie powder ink and 5 lights around declined the lease electricity. and secondly, we have a charging istation for the eco that i'm getting sluggish to what, what are the charges when you get a bought from bio gas to digester also generates slurry water as a byproduct. it is an efficient alternative to chemical fertilizer and is distributed free of cost to residents in the region. nathaniel nestle water has to be used in one by an issue for every daily dose of water. vanita ross,
4:36 pm
letty is mixed with big because it's highly concentrated with nitrogen that the garden head was created with that lady water. our sanitary workers working there, dixon, they take away the fruits and vegetables they wear to their cultivating their desire . it gives them some supplementary income also for them to sustain their lives. the plant was financed by the ministry of ruler development for 66 lat rupees, about 75000 years. it's bailey operations are managed by the villages administration. either this type of unit can be set up in every village, ex bonita and quantity can been abused, and this model can be replicated when it's ready. good, all at india. this must be known as m since the by august, when it began operating in august 2021. it has processed some $400.00 metric tons of biodegradable waste and sustainably. the rest has to be managed. 100 has to be measured and low cost. very
4:37 pm
things are modern thumbs of financial benefits, but that in terms of the ecological benefits, the protection of our health, protection of our public health sanitation. that way, when you reconnect this in the future, the village administration plans to utilize all of the electricity generated from the bio gas blonde to politics, office and other administrative buildings. hype, a local and decentralized solutions like these contribute not only to the waste management needs of the region, but also to safe, healthy living spaces. oceans cover more than 70 percent of the odd ocean tides good potentially be an abundance source of energy. but utilizing that power is not so simple. we took a look at the highs and lows of tidal energy off the coast of scotland. you could witness this wind turbines being put into the water. they're called tidal turbines
4:38 pm
. they sit on the sea floor and harness the energy and the moving water that comes in and goes out with the tides tell her just cannot sitting there and waiting to be used. the potential is huge. it's estimated that we could practically capture enough title, energy to power all home from the united states, twice over. and my research with climate change shows beneath this energy. now, yes, at the moment, all the energy we get from existing tidal power plants worldwide can power less than 400000 homes. so how to style power walk exactly. and why isn't it every way at the tides are predictable. they come in, they go out and they've been doing this the same way since the moon was born. so with the dial sticker turbine on the water, as it flows in or out. and viola you can make electricity with the same principle that window binds you. moving water mix the turbine spin. this powers the gearbox
4:39 pm
on a generator which turn the mechanical energy into electricity. water incidentally is over $800.00 times downfield, an air which means the time turbines need to be studio, but they can be smaller and slower and still individually produce more power than wind turbine. wind starts and stops blowing somewhat randomly and the sun isn't always out. so these renewables can be difficult to integrate into the grid tides, as we know, i really, really predictable and consistent. so if batches are charged, when tides are flowing, we could use those batches each time there's no movement and repeat at regular intervals. with tides to mean waste extract, power exist, one's called title stream, and the other title range. let's talk about titled range power. that takes advantage of the difference between the high and the low tide,
4:40 pm
which can go up to 12 meters. and this kind of title power has been around for decades. the oldest idol drain generator lawrence was built in northern france in 1966. it cost around $1000000000.00 in today's money, which is cheaper than a comparable nuclear power plant. there are 4 other titled range plants running in south korea, russia, canada, and china. apart from geography, the infrastructure to support titled range plants just doesn't exist everywhere. and people have opposed the massive structures because they can be who reflect for the local environment, disturbing migratory fish, the composition of the soil, and even taking space away from local communities. 98 percent of title energy today comes from titles range. projects that together have a capacity of $520.00 megawatts, which is still a tiny, tiny fraction of consumption. but the other kind of title, power generation could ship things up for the younger and sexier kind of the market
4:41 pm
title stream power. it's showing more promise of the moment with its simpler devices that depend on underwater currency caused by the tides. they vary in shape and design. i like wind turbines that have been known to cause the lungs of baths flank past employed. the pressure difference caused by total barrages could have a similar effect on the internal organs of fish. but title stream projects are already more eco friendly. what we see is climate change is by far the worst enemy . so yes, big things will have a environmental effects. but we should put them in that context. climate change, compared to wind of solar energy. title has been slow for the reason you might have guessed. sadly, a lot of the solutions are really expensive because the industry, so young with very small industry, it's, you know, it doesn't have an established supply chain or manufacturing chain. corrosion is
4:42 pm
going to be big problems. you're going to choose your materials, really carefully, bio falling as a really big issue where you know, where you put something, the water is, things are going to want to grow on it. and that's going to make it into low, many repo habitat, the performance of the term of deteriorates. you need to find some way of renting that that's a huge operational costs. which is why most title stream generation project cluster in the global, not where financial support to death. the technology at this stage exists, china and south korea joining in but low income countries like india have been slow, a drop plans to try out idle power. but they could benefit when the costs of deployment begin to fall. while it's financial cost is still higher than other renewables. if net benefit could actually be higher when you consider things like it's predictable supply of clean energy to the grid. or the fact that stream projects don't visually affect beautiful sea view. so especially in cost to long island nations title does have the power to play
4:43 pm
a significant role in getting some net 0 in a relatively less disruptive way. the need of the hour is to make tighter power competitive from the depths of the ocean to moon buys high rise of rooftops, where more and more people are considering solar panels to generate cleaner and cheaper electricity. we explored how businesses are helping people, who's the sun's limitless energy efficiently. share money is a financial consultant who now works from home, which means his electricity use has flight. he tried to set up solar panels on his roof to north his carbon footprint, but dram into a problem living in the city like one way you really understand that moodle. stop is never communion spirit said so shared spears,
4:44 pm
it's not on late. the other thing is that you have your worn holes, your own rooftop, that you can, you know, use or control, ah, saw gating access to little thought, who set up a solar panel warns that electricity goes out and let us hear diesel openly, con, weekly, or bi only me this is one big problem. several renters and homeowners in crowded cities like mom, by our facing. and it accounts for a large gap between the countries. ambition for rooftop solar generation and the reality under found, ah, india target wants to produce around 40 gigawatts of energy from rooftop solar generation. by 2023. so far, only 8 gigawatts have been generated. other factors holding it back out, a lack of standardization in solar policies and practical financial support for solar installations. ah, but there are now a few start ups in india working to bridge these gaps like barriers job that has
4:45 pm
raised private investment to install low cost solar panels far as danger communities. so far they have set up solar panels for 100 residential complexes in one bite on the nation. the modern was a long term leasing contract and financial support. eventually, the communities will own the panels. so with us, the divers fixed for 15 years, that is one benefit. second, it is immediately i'd be 0, it is 50 percent of your cost, and $3.00, it is free. when you set it up at the end of 15 years, the plan does transfer to the consumer free of cost. ah, however, the update from urban consumers continues to be slow and then date. but betty, or john will founder, she believes that when a few people feel incentivized to buy in more will follow i feel that you know it, the price definitely needs to be. so for the starting step for solving there is
4:46 pm
definitely more installation, so should prove which, which that creates. they are working with the bank or be technology stocked up called sandy grid, also attempting to make solar energy more accessible and affordable by going digital. is it possible for us to basically be couple of the, the problems of a having to go. so wanting to go solar on one side and having a physical installation doesn't necessarily have to happen on your own. rooftops, right. can it be just like, you know, back in the day we used to carry over time drives with storage and now everything is on the cloud in a similar fashion. can we put solar on the cloud? ah, it sounds no vince. but it's similar to our credit trade scheme. how it works is fendy grid. the range grids like doors belonging to the residential solar project from betty job. the units of energy produced here at my credit and can then be
4:47 pm
traded on their platform. customers can invest in the panels, monthly and reserve unit so, so no credit ah, because of economics of scale, the big them because we are building largest systems and then we are basically, you can come and reserve smaller portions on it pay have let me visit to come with a solar we actually segregate and basically allocate to glow what's off this particular project for your requirements. so whatever paula gets generated from this, right, we trade the power to a local partner to 5. in this case, it is this building, retrieve this power at the be defined price point. so that is around $5.00 piece per unit. that bubble essentially, whatever it gets, treated that credit then come to a war. so every time you come and create an account with us on our platform, we also create a wallet like a digital wallet, in for the particular account. and onto that wallet, we essentially add those credits from the system since it's launch in november 2021
4:48 pm
. sunday grids has been changed. 64 kilowatt solar capacity through multiple residential rooftop installations, across moonlight and backlog. and people from around the country can and have bought into these installations as it's in the development phase, the solar power market relies on subsidies from the state. the startup companies also have private investors who are financing them and funding their operational costs. sunday goods have on boarded with most public and private electricity suppliers and built us him by collaboration with solar producers. like betty, you will jack who provide infrastructure. they need a group of believe was i get the thing digital a whole lot and you know, i felt this was one when the really great guy, but he was filling in the and the co system. the link between public and private electricity providers is a really important step that has customers offset the credit against their
4:49 pm
electricity bills and minimize their own carbon footprint. and this platform was exactly what sharon ronnie was looking for. it's on the grid that started at about 50 percent of my boot, basically the credits keep getting a crude to your account or their generated. and whenever you have to pay your bill, you can just go into that portal on the dashboard and use your credit to pay your bill. and if anything left, right, you can use your traditional sources to pay the rest of the rate. and what that also allows me to do is the ability to decide how much of my bill to effect gives me a good starting point. right. as an entryway into this ecosystem. ah, while this still remains accessible only to a small section of india as city dwellers and is still in its early stages,
4:50 pm
going into digital solar energy is one potential step forward to work lena future? ah, solar panels like those from the last report. wind power, title, energy, these renewable sources are key to generating clean, abundant power. the infrastructure needed to harness the power requires other resources. and there's the question of what we do with the material when we can no longer use them. we travel to poland, where a company has found the creative son with these wind turbines are more than 20 years old compared to modern ones. they're small and inefficient. so they're being torn down. so what happens to these green energy giants at the end of their lifespan?
4:51 pm
the blades, especially, are made of composites and plastics. instead of recycling them a lot, ends up in landfills or incinerated in the kilns of cement and steel factories for some years. now, facilities that insinuate them aren't really happy about it and that's down to the physics of the combustion process. last fall, the glass fibers bonded with residents which come up the kiln and the ash and i so quite apart from the environment, luna's ankle and it's just not an ideal solution. zeal is missed you lose own and recycling is only just getting off the ground. it's only recently that wind turbine manufacturers have had the wind to waste problem on their radar. that often leads to situations like this on this green field decommission turbine blades
4:52 pm
are dismantled for the scrapyard. one company near the polish city of rod suave has come up with a solution unmet takes old turbine blades from germany and turns them into furniture. the plains of 12 meters long are 1st thought intersections sounded and painted. they get a new life as outdoor furniture, chairs, benches, and tables. accented with top quality, large wood. students from the university of shalana gotta come up with the designs. they're thrilled that their products are being bought by customers around the world. of course we can use it inside, but i think outside is am is by the right to to use this material. because it's water proof is damaged grove,
4:53 pm
a foot bridge, another of unmet novel recycling ideas. the rotor blades were transformed into the support for pedestrian bridge. it's the brain child of engineer on j. r. done show . for him. old blades are not hazardous waste, but a resource spout. shamiqua news me ions, gov's for example. we don't try to change the shape of the rotor of yet we turn it into a sculpture or that doesn't blade. and so we have miguel is going to be monumental . you really big so that it was really wild your bush bunch. it'll be on a narrow jug. rosanna enclave novel of runs, an online shop wings for living. that's the exclusive retailer. there's even an app to let you see what the furniture would look like in your garden shed novel and his counterparts in poland are good friends. a garden bench like this can easily cost 1500 euros. we're aiming to be
4:54 pm
a small and stylish branch was that helps raise awareness of the problem and also shows that old discarded objects can be turned into beautiful and unique furnishings. the movie boy, his friends and poland are constantly coming up with innovative designs. like a rotor wing transformed into a wine cellar. when it comes to up cycling the sky's the limit. and there is no shortage of turbine blades that need re purposing. will. the new generation of wind turbines are bigger and more powerful. modern turbines are temples of high tech filled to the brim with electronic components. and they promised to help solve the wind to waste problem. in 30 or 40 years, when these turbines go offline, they'll be more easily recycled into valuable raw materials. elena ha, yesterday about the all big manufacturers are working on producing their components
4:55 pm
and so that they'll be easier to recycle. meaning in a way that's environmentally sustainable energy saving and cost saving energy intensive. the cost at 2100 percent recyclable turbine blades are the wave of the future. germany, for example, plants to install $1500.00 new wind turbines a year in a few decades, their aging blades will be mind per valuable raw materials. recycling components surely seems to be the way forward. and while we're talking about the way forward, a team in india and germany is working hard on bringing eco india to point to in the next few weeks. sadly, it's time for me to say good bye. thank you for all your depreciation and support over these last 4 and a half years. aku. and i have enjoyed every minute of bringing you this short week off to week. keep tuning in to find context and solutions to some of the biggest challenges i generation faces to be the bi.
4:57 pm
4:58 pm
with 90 minutes on d. w. that has to promote, did you do before i came to china. fantastic. ah, she survived auschwitz, thanks to music. he was, the nazis favorite conductor, is morally degenerate for 2 musicians under the swastika, a documentary about this sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home and go get the tennis. i was the only one what lies and luke music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube, d. w documentary. oh, would people have to say matters to us or mm. that's why
4:59 pm
we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. a. in charlotte. now by your office i am currently more people than ever on the move world wide in such a better life. one of us and so it as a committee god, the alarm goes out. ashley, the now with is it america unknown the god lazily or for the bench? double play the still nanda. donation one back to the gun. find out about rubinez story. in some migraines, reliable news for migrant. wherever they may be. ah
5:00 pm
ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. you leaders try to calm down financial markets . the end of the process all summer germany is chancellor. all our shows and others hail water they call stable banks and tougher regulations. meanwhile shares in deutscher bank suddenly tumble also coming up closely. you close the fire at the soft.
