a with interest, the global economy, our portfolio d w business. beyond. here, the closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market dominance. east versus west. good is still ahead with the w business beyond ah, with humans are dependent on energy, whether it's to heat our homes, look off food or travel to work. but this dependency fuel, by all its limited resources, has led to
10:31 am
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, welcome to eco india. i'm son that now damage is another problem. we've cleared it. every day we produce more than $2000000000.00 of solid waste. in time in not, we'll adjust a, using their trash to generate energy solving to problems at once. let's see how little bottles 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 auto country wrangled village and dumb. another zivare gun guy, district gear. they generate electricity from vase using this bow. gas blocked. everybody keeps talking lordis about restoral. so this is
10:32 am
a perfect as on mission in that angle. dom alondo generates more than 14 and a half tons of solid rest 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 asset that we're not 100 percent of processing in many places. so now that attempt 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 nearby 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 rest every day. the village president, money moved to say is that this process reduces the burden of vest management on
10:33 am
those local bodies. funny commer. oh, sunday, gotten no report. 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 is to with the vehicle. when we do saw, the village saves about $15000.00 rupees that it could have otherwise. a spangler did it, that, that left london all 60000 rupees, ominous when any product ah, even uploaded. once the waste to send to the bio guest blonde, it falls within the purview of the blonde supervisor. so godaddy branch, he works long site, do sanitary workers, and oversees operations and the plan to ensure everett and grants of smoky. although the biodegradable waste is already segregated when it arrives, pradeep says it is necessary to repeat the process. only it should contain biodegradable waste only that many to cross ticket to insure it. it doesn't contain anything like plastics love as we get it is made up of the you tables, chicken parts and things from this event and vis from which other schools and fish market like after we think negated,
10:34 am
which of the mission up and send it on to for the next, a standalone for that next the se, debit travels through as crude i've convinced 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 an important step which involves cow dung and al guardian, we get a lot of side pick fruit to count of the acidity. we add about 100 k g of golden due to close to think that and shows that the back d b i inside survives on the act quickly, quickly 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 di justice 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
10:35 am
out in the open bullet list. if you don't, the based on that all the place becomes dirty. landfilling happens that problem of landfilling thought because of my best learning. all of that, not is anyone who wants to buy gases produce unwanted gases and moisture content are scrubbed out. and the filtered gas is fact the generator for electricity generation and can go out in the den, so don't give us a degenerate those capacities 15 kilowatt like engineered up to 100 units of electricity, the data, the entire unit is powered by votes that indicate law as a day movie on pouting 25 lights. i don't get lined with this electricity. and i think i'm leaving have a charging istation for the eguard that i'm getting sluggish to what, what are the jobs and one of you know, a pot from bio gaston digest role to generates slurry volta as a byproduct. it is an efficient alternative to chemical fertilizer and is distributed free of cost to residence in the region. nathaniel nestle water has to be used in one by, in this you, for every daily dose of water velocity is mixed with did because it's highly
10:36 am
concentrated with nitrogen. and the garden head was created with that sled water. i would say that he workers working that it and they take over the fruits and vegetables, they read of it cultivating their desire. it gives them some supplementary income, also for them to sustain their lives. the blonde was financed by the ministry of ruler developer. for 66 lack rupees about 75000 years. it's daily operations are managed by the villages administration. he did 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 would auto or india. this must be known as m. since the by august unit begin operating in august 2021, it has processed some 400 metric tons of biodegradable waste and sustainably. the rest has to be managed and it has to be measured in low cost
10:37 am
that happens 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 only we can assess in the future. the village 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 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
10:38 am
. 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 just cannot 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 sticker turbine in 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 on a generator,
10:39 am
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
10:40 am
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 difficult 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 title, power generation could ship things up for the younger and sexier kind of the market
10:41 am
dido stream power. it's showing more promise at 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 flying past 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
10:42 am
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 something 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 turbo deteriorates. he finds when we are renting, that that's a huge operational, 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
10:43 am
a significant role in getting the net 0 in a relatively less destructive way. the need is rooftops where more and more people are considering solar panels to generate cleaner and cheaper electricity. we explored how businesses are helping people use the sun's limitless energy efficiently. share. ronnie 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 nord his carbon footprint, but ran into a problem living. and i said you like more weight, your daily understand that moodle stop is never communion spirit. so shared spheres, it's not on late. the other thing is that you have your worn hose, your own rooftop, that you can, you know, use or control, ah, saw gating access to little thought, who set up
10:44 am
a lot by mill warns that electricity cause i don't let those her diesel openly, con, weekly, or bi, only me this is one big problem. several renters and homeowners in crowded cities like mom by your facing. and it accounts for a large gap between the countries. ambition for rooftop solar generation and the reality on the ground. india's target was to produce it on 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 jaw that has raised private investment to install low cost solar panels far as a danger communities. so far they have set up solar panels for hundreds residential complexes in one bite on the nashik. then modeling was
10:45 am
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 me. however, the update from consumers continues to be slow and in detail, but betty or jack will founder, she believes that when a few people feel incentivized to buy in more will follow i feel that you know it, the trust definitely needs to be solved for the starting step for solving their trust is definitely them would instantly shane social prove which it with that creates. they are working with a bangalore based technologies doctor called sunday grades,
10:46 am
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 doors 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
10:47 am
them because we are building larger systems and then we are basically, you can come and res, so smaller portions on it. they have let me resort to close a solar we actually segregate and basically allocate to glow what's 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 bone. 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
10:48 am
bought into these installations as it's in the development fees. 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 in bio collaboration with solar producers like betty, you will just provide that infrastructure. they need a group of believers or you're creating a of a digital holiday in oh i, i felt this was 11 that really grid. oh god. but he was filling in though and died . ecosystem. the link between public and private electricity providers is a really important step that helps customers offset the credit against that electricity bills and minimize their own carbon footprint. and this platform was exactly what sharon ronnie was looking for. it's undergrads. i started at about 50
10:49 am
percent off my bill basically though traders, gibbs getting accrued through your account as they are generated. and whenever you have to pay your bill, you can just go on to that or portal, or their dashboard and use your credit to pay your bill. and if anything's left, right, you can use your traditional sources to be the rest of the going rate. and what that also allows me to do is all the ability to decide how much of my big offset gives me a good starting point, right door as an entryway into this ecosystem. while this still remains accessible only to a small section of india's city dwellers and is still in its early stages, going into digital solid energy is one potential step forward to work lee now future ah. solar
10:50 am
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 that 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 paula 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,
10:51 am
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 residence 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. zeal 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
10:52 am
a solution unmet takes all turbine blades from germany and turns them into furniture. the plains of the 12 meters long are 1st saw into sections sanded and painted. they get a new life is 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, 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.
10:53 am
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 miguel is going to be monumental. i really big so that it was really wild. your bush bunge. it'll be on a little jacket as an entre 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 a small and stylish brand, to that. that helps raise awareness of the problem and also shows that old discarded objects can be turned into beautiful and unique furnishings. the movie
10:54 am
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 wall. the new generation of winter binds 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 huffman, here still 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 savings in advance . if the customer,
10:55 am
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 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 appreciation 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
10:57 am
10:58 am
dw woman like freedom. cool, that's radian women, not taking to the streets with my mom risky then life who are fighting against oppression who freedom the women in iran, a show of resilience close. oh. in 90 minutes on d w. ah, will you become a criminal pre climb aol already know who's with about hackers? generalizing the tire societies. computers that out some are you
10:59 am
and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. you cream was like stepping point to, you know, i bought you into that. warranty wants to finish your studies. now you have positive control crane, you can choose to go back or somewhere else. currently, more people than ever on the move worldwide in such a better life. so why do i want to go back and i like, i don't have any reason to, but there's no reason that's moving from the bit. yeah, i believe something great is coming very, very soon. and yeah, can we learn more about la police story in for my grand reliable news, how my going wherever they may be?
