[000:00:00;00] ah, humans are dependent on energy, whether it's to heat our homes, look off food or travel to work. but this dependency fueled by its limited resources has led to a crisis that threatens the world as we know it. humanities only who is to change the way we think about energy and debbie get it from. that's what we talk about today. 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 or using their trash to generate energy solving to problems at once. let's see how ah a little bottle. some done walked through this village and he will noticed all of these lights come on. these lights are powered by this, this, this and this. re autumn country wrangled village and dominant. who's ever gone guy district. here they generate electricity from vase using this bow. gas blocked, everybody keeps stocking nowadays about west to well. so this is 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 waste from more than $4000.00 households and come to wrangell village. additionally, the super 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, sunday retina. now apart. so let's assume there is a leaky market in one of those villages on a saturday, and we go in the evening and collect the v est with the vehicle. when we do saw, the village saves about $15000.00 rupees, that it would have otherwise. a spangler did it, that i'd love to like $60000.00 rupees. amanda's went any product or not. even i believe it wants to waste to send to the bio guest blonde. it falls within the

purview of the blond supervisors. look up ready branch. he works long side to sen 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. then we need to cross ticket to ensure that it doesn't contain anything like last extension of, as we get here, is made up of the tables, chicken parts and things from the students and vis from which other schools and fish market like it. after we think negated which of the list up and send it on to for the next, a standalone for that next the se, debit travels through his crew 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 dang, 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 all of that, if we get a lot of cytochrome to count of the acidity, we add about 100 k g of golden doodle kills to think that and shows that the back media inside survives, i had the act quickly quicker. that's an out of now back to the digest. it is this huge balloon like structure. and here is where the magic happens. this digested capacity is 2 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 a month to decompose. that process would be 3 times as long if the refuse were left out in the open will not honestly, if you dump the based on that order please becomes dirty. landfilling happens that problem of landfilling assorted because of my best line. and all of that now is anyone who wants to buy a gas is produced. unwanted gases and most of content are scrubbed out and the filtered gas is factored the generator for electricity generation and can go out in the dense and order give us the generators capacities 15 kilowatt like engineered

up to 100 units of electricity with the and died who nick is powered by votes. that indicates law as a movie on power england, 5 lights at on decline with his electricity. and i think on leaving have a child diagnostician for the eguard, benefiting sluggish to a while. you were italian one, you know, a pot from bio gaston digest role to generates slurry voter as a byproduct. it is an efficient alternative to chemical fertilizer and is distributed free of cost do residence in the region. nathaniel nestle water has to be used in one byte an issue for every tele does afford a velocity is mixed with did because it's highly concentrated with nitrogen that the garden head was created with that sled water, our sanitary workers working there. and they take over the fruits and vegetables, they've had that a cultivating and their desire. it gives them some supplementary income, also for them to sustain their lives. the plant was financed by the ministry of lar development for 66 lac rupees,

about 75000 years. it's daily operations are managed by the villages administration . even this type of unit can be set up in every religion. ex benita and quantity can been abused and this model can be replicated when it's ready would auto or 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 and it has to be measured and low cost that extends or not in terms of financial benefits. but that in terms of the ecological benefits, the protection of our health, protection of public health sanitation. that way, when you, we can assess in the future, the village and administration plans to utilize all of the electricity generated from the bio gas plan 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 diet. ocean tides could potentially be an abundant source of energy, but utilizing that power is not so simple. we took a look at the highs them north of tidal energy, off the coast of scotland. you could witness this wind turbines being put into the water. they're called tidal turbines. they sit on the sea floor and harness the energy in the moving water that comes in and goes out with the tides. tell car to scan, i'm sitting there and waiting to be used. the potential is huge. it's estimated that we could practically capture enough tidal energy to power all home from the united states,

twice over my research with climate change shows beneath this energy. now, yes, at the moment, all the energy we get from existing title power plants worldwide can power less than 400000 homes. so how does title power work 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 bond. so with the dial stick a turbine on the water as it flows in, out. and viola, you can make electricity with the same principle that window binds you. moving water mix the turbine spin this powers a gearbox, and a generator which turns mechanical energy into electricity. water incidentally, is over $800.00 times delafield 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, which can go up to 12 meters. and this kind of title power has been around for decades. the oldest title 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 does, 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 total energy today comes from titled 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 total power generation could ship things up for the younger and sexier kind of the market dido stream power. it's showing more promise of the moment with its simpler devices that depend on under water current caused by the tides. they vary in shape and design. i like wind turbines that have been known to cause the lungs of bats flank boss to implored the pressure difference caused by title 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 doesn't have an established supply chain or manufacturing chain. corrosion is going to be big problems. you're going to choose your materials really carefully, bio falling as a really big issue where you know, you put them in the water as things are going to want to grow on it. and it's going to make it into low, many repo habitat, the performance of the turbine deteriorates the funds when we are 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 its 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 a beautiful sea view. so especially, and course to long island nations title does have the power to play a significant role in getting the 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, rooftops where more and more people are considering solar panels to generate cleaner and cheaper electricity. we explored how businesses are helping people lose

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 ran into a problem living in us, ideally one by 8. your new understand that moodle stop is never communion spirit said so shared spirit, it's not on lay the other cities where you have your own holes, your own little thought that you can, you know, yours or control ah saw gaining access to little thought who set up a solar panel warned that electricity, because i'd like to see diesel, openly, con, weekly, owned by 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, the ground india dog. it was 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 startups in india working to bridge these gaps like betty job that has raised private investment to install low cost solar panels far as the dangers of communities. so far they have set up solar panels for hundreds residential complexes in one by pony and nashik model and was a long term leasing contract and financial support. eventually, the communities will own the banners. 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. and 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 dated. but betty or jack will found, she believes that when a few people feel incentivized to buy in more will follow i feel that you know, if the trust definitely needs to be solved for, ah, the starting step for solving their trust is definitely them would instantly shane social prove, which is with that creates they are working with a bank loan based technologies, dr. called sunday grades, also attempting to make solar energy more accessible and affordable by going digital. is it possible for us to basically decouple the boat, 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 or another thumb drives with storage. and now everything is on the cloud in a similar fashion. can we put solar on the cloud? it sounds novel, but it's similar to a credit treat scheme. how it works is sunday grids rains grids like those belonging to the residential sooner project from perry, which are the units of energy produced here, are mark distola credits and can then be traded on their platform. customers can invest in the panels, monthly and reserve units of solar credit because of economics of scale that rick them because we are building larger systems and then we are basically, you can come and re so smaller portions on it. they have, let me result to close of solar. we actually segregate and basically allocate to

glow words off this particular project for your requirements. so whatever power gets generated from this, right, we trade the power to a local, a partner of ours. in this case, it is this building, retrieve this power at the p defined price point. so that is around $5.00 rupees per unit. that bubble essentially whatever gets treated, that credit then come to a what? 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 on. and onto that wallet. we essentially add those credits from the system since it's launch in november 2021. sunday grids has changed 64 kilowatts so 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 jobs who provide the infrastructure. they need a group of believe was using digital whole lot. and, you know, i found that this was one when the really great guy, but he was filling in the and died ecosystem. the link between public and private electricity providers is a really important step that helps customers offset the credit against their electricity bills and minimize their own carbon footprint. and this platform was exactly what share ronnie was looking for. but san diego that started at about 50 percent of my boot. basically the credits keep getting accrued to your account. they are generated. and whenever you have to pay your bill,

you can just walk into the portal or the dashboard and use your credit to pay your bill. and if anything's left right, you can use your traditional sources to pay the rest of the rate. and what that also allows me to do the ability to decide how much of my base to effect gives me a good starting point rate 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, 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 portland, where a company has found a creative solution 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? the blades especially are made of composites and plastics instead of recycling them a lot and some in landfills, more 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 sank on the it's just not an ideal solution. 0 unique you lose on 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. decommissioned turbine blades 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 the 12 meters long are 1st thought, intersections,

sanded and painted. they get a new life as outdoor furniture, chairs, benches, and tables. accented with top quality march would 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, a foot bridge, another of unmet novel recycling ideas. the rotor blades were transformed into the support for a 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 gives a far example. we don't try to change the shape of the rotor of yeah,

we turn it into a sculpture or that doesn't blade. and so give me, gill is going to be monumental. i really big so that it was really wild, your bush bunge. it'll be on a narrow jug rosanna, unquestionable 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 a small and stylish brand whose 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. alanon ha, yesterday about the all big manufacturers are working on producing their components 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 customer, 100 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 mined for valuable raw materials. recycling, conformist 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. a crew and i have enjoyed every minute of bringing you this short week after week. keep tuning in to find context and solutions to some of the biggest challenges i generation faces to be the bi. ah
