intelligence in i t project in india that combines physiotherapy with new job opportunities, global 3000 in 60 minutes on d w. lou, what people have to say matters to us. mm. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. a . hello and welcome to equal africa. be thank from gemini, i am thunder at reno video and i'm so play python to be presenting the she'll 5 by 5 with my wonderful co host right here in one of your major capitals at also home

till partner would cost it d w. yes, we are delighted to be here in front of the brown, the brigade. one of the seats is both i on a lan bug. wet temperature is carnegie at about 5 degrees sashes. that's what co all the special edition what you're asking. oh, green energy can par and in pa countries. so sondra shaw was thought with a quick preview of what's in store. good idea, cri, uninformed coming up with we have green energy from hydrogen, met in namibia, and we visit a danish, my london, striving to become west con emissions free. our 1st report, however, deals with a more controversial side of energy production. the earth may beat in up at an alum rate, but the global 3rd for oil and gas remains insatiable. and as we've observed over

and over again, companies will go to great lengths to ensure the supply keep slowing. regardless of the consequences was suddenly it's often the environment that pays the heaviest price in the long run. in cynical, despite protest, my, the local fishermen and environmentalists, the government approved the construction of offshore oil fields, are equal, reported when to see how it is affecting the country. like many other fishermen on synagogue coast package, our uses fishing line or small mess. he's been going out to sea for 30 years. these men's former fishing grounds was 10 kilometers off shore. but it's out of bounds as an energy firm will start shipping liquefied natural gas there soon, i got the fisherman now fear even less catch and of mainly small fish, like sardines or cutlass fish continents. i dunno here off the cynical

east coast that used to be an incredible number of fish, but now to make a large catch, we'd have to take the boat to martina for 3 to 4 days cars, but we don't have a license to fish there longer. if we got caught fishing there without a license, we'd be arrested da da da da da morton. i no longer la. well visible on the horizon is the platform where the ellen g tankers will dock in one of the coastal areas richest and fish. local fishermen aren't allowed within 500 meters of it and beyond that is a restricted zone. the ellen g terminal has been anchored offshore, so a british oil and gas company can ship the fuel from here. a move that has angered fishermen and environmentalists alike. the area off the coast of synagogue and martina his home to large schools of fish as well as many dolphins. it also boasts one of the

world's largest cold water reefs. the production platform is located less than one kilometer away. the nearly 600 kilometer long reef forms a huge marine ecosystem rich and diverse varieties of micro organisms. algy and fish who the government of senegal has approved an environmental and social impact assessment, commissioned by gas firm b p. but even scientists working in the affected area are very skeptical. i think you see here, but the criticism is justified because they didn't go where they should have to get the most up to date information about the area. one example, mossey only blew a song the dallas. they did the study without any partner, sandy utah and didn't involve the relevant institutions in the 2 countries working on these issues. i also sambro and my book sofa. just last year they took part in a norwegian study,

which found that the large reef extends much further into synagogue coastal area than previously thought. only of if it did, if it were in the process of conducting a reference study. but enough that this andy got their co vos, we're going to take certain indicators and follow them up as they extract gas and oil, the peripheral it. then we'll see what the impact is. negative, either neutral or positive, and negative will be it. but i don't think it will be positive is busy, but what was it if mission crop? according to b p, the platform will produce some $2500000000.00 tons of gas starting next year and twice as much in the years thereafter. 5 percent of the gas will go to cynical and 5 percent to neighboring mauretania synagogue government has now commented on how seriously it takes the fisherman's concerns and how they plan to protect the marine

ecosystem. the la and look for more iving them was this goes in particular with supporting measures meaning measures of re conversion. the creation of artificial rees, notably for the sector of fishing, but also with training of the community is affected. here are the secret unity, the pan african angio. don't gas africa points out that the project, not only harms fishermen and the environment, the countries involved don't benefit much financially either. it don't fully cover the puzzle one and a 90 percent of the gas is being exported. and that's what we don't want goes key. cool. take it. it can't be that all the gas produced in synagogue is exported internationally to run other countries industries. and is what we fail to build industries in our country. i'm awfully, says industry. ellen, g tankers are already waiting outside the port of dakar. global demand for gas has increased due to the war and ukraine. but europe has agreed to phase out fossil fuel subsidies soon. due to serious concerns,

the german government has not yet decided whether or not the gas should be imported at all. inca dawson's interest in germany has made a clear, international commitment not to support fossil fuel investments with public funds in the st. james after the energy crisis and the start of the war and ukraine, we must focus on supporting renewable energy and climate protection world wide. he muscles, i don't see how else we can achieve our climate target. if we're still developing new oil and gas field worldwide, that simply won't work. it up on a given the threat to fisherman's livelihoods. organizations like don't gas africa are calling for more investment in renewables and environmental protection. football edema, you can't cause damage to our country, luck and environmental catastrophe here to benefit other countries are good to be. meanwhile, for baka joe and his fellow fishermen, they look into an uncertain future. a drop in the demand for gas might cost the

government to rethink its strategy. but until this could happen, synagogue fishermen will continue to struggle, was better place to talk about any b here in berlin than here known as the gas meter. it was built in 1909 and was once one of the 3 largest gas story tags in europe. but it's an out of service is $9095.00. and it's now a historical monument. and maybe that's decreased because of the future belongs to being energies like hydrogen, digital louise or gillian company making plans to produce hydrogen in the media and have it sent to market here in europe. yeah, it sounds like a win win situation, because as i understand it, the energy used to produce the hydrogen will come from renewable sources like solar and wind. let's find out more. a team from the germany, energy company,

and truck or owner research to accel k, a national park installed in the media. they are looking for the best location to erect wind turbines. as part of a 10000000000 euro energy project. where we are right now, some of the world's best on shore wind, we know is, is really well cloth resource. 15 kilometers to the east. we have a solar sites which is some of the world's best solar. so within a very close proximity, we have very good renewables. namibia has to signal to an area 100 kilometers long and 80 kilometers wide for the project. from 2025, some 600 wind turbines and to solar farms will deliver as much energy as 7 nuclear power plants. water from the nia by ocean would be pumped here by pipeline. it would be used to produce hydrogen, which would be shipped to germany for its energy supply. hydrogen can be used to

fuel bus isn't cars. poa, chemical plants, metals tails. or simply heat homes and businesses. aside from the media, gemini also has plans full mega projects in other countries, including in autocratic ones. altogether, it is investing in 10 different countries the album hundreds, we have trade ties with autocratic states where there's no press freedom and we have to deal with that. i'm looking at the same time, we will still have to solve the energy transition and climate crisis market. in this context, you always have to be prepared to compromise. and so is the far managing the largest project best in north east germany. it is

a pony in the weed power industry, more than 1000 wind turbine, some monitored here they're not drug was the 1st company to produce hydrogen using wind power, a pilot project and look, a mock region informs it's walk in namibia and elsewhere. that's what we do and don't recall what the scope of what we're doing here and the ok mark it size is very much comparable to what we're planning to create in namibia, the guys from within, but been num evaluate small. you booked on the fall as or this area in the ogre mark is also comparable to the area in namibia where hydrogen is set to be produced . then namibian town of ludovic, how many residents till support the new project. so people are quite excited with this project that it's coming to new ritz. ah, because out they see a lot of development coming into town. they see a lot of employment coming to town. they see

a low cost electricity and anything else. so um, i would say people doesn't have much critical views, but in the back of our heads also, we think we hope that it's not up. you know, it's not a corruption thing. everyone will actually benefit from the project around lewd ritz houses live in poverty. they have electricity and water, but it t is expensive. the equivalent of for euro's sense for 10 liters. it's often too much like for these resident to the machine now low to put it, work out with it in and show the money you know, so you know, he lives in the nominal the cause we want to supply both additional electricity and

water from our project to the people who may be and also the town of litter, it's currently has to bring water in from a very far distance. and we can over build our water purification and dissemination . facility to provide water to the both europe and africa could turn to gain immensely from project life these while watson undertaken, it will be interesting to see how these progress. but that's just one example of future production. take a look at all this. whereas the all risk campus in berlin were over 5000 people work, study or do research in the fields of energy, mobility as soft, full ability. while it is an amazing place, especially as what people here are walking to, it's one goal to enable germany to achieve them, reaches targets of covering 80 percent of his energy needs from renewables by 2040. but i thought tod, it's realistic for africa. well,

we'll come here to talk to an excellent from them mccarter. research institute on global comments on climate change. mr. felix, quite sick to find out not loss science report. say that to really slow the climate crisis, we must onto renewables and still pieces will still fuels could be example from the b b of wible motor. well, the future. yes. i think the example of no media very interesting because it deployed a lot of hydrogen, which is very, very important for your company zation. but it's also offered the oppertunity to get clean at $850.00 and it's a clean water for a b, b. so i think it's good opportunity to what extent consortium would be scada project visiting in northern africa. for example, never really quarter the grind. the original idea was to supply you are please in the tree. stevens generated on sun drenched solar farms in the sahara. you think

the technology is there to make this possible at some point, if you need large scale projects and they're viable in principles, perhaps doesn't take was 10 or 20 years too early. i think it's important to design the projects that both continents, africa, and europe profit from the projects. and it's also important to differentiate between, between countries, between because countries have different needs and also potential, okay. it looks like it is possible to create some sort of green, analytical friction between offers in europe. so one project like to show oil platforms, aid, senegal, still been implemented. isn't that a huge tax to the wrong direction? i totally agree. it's a huge step in the wrong direction. you don't need additional gas, like your must come off gas very quickly. and instead, invest into clean energy portraits like that, and i'm not part of your work involves the terminal in greenhouse emission levels

and lots cities, legal ones. kyra, just 2 of the mega cities on the african continent. now what would help to get cities to turn away from climate damage and practices? more quickly said 2 things, 2 important things to go forward. first, cooling to say important in housing in african cities in many countries. and it's important to have clean energy from photo tax. and vint falling and transportation is also very important. and for that, it's very important to have electric buses and a tram base instead of private motor vehicles that make a main difference and should be the focus of transportation policies. while this is perhaps the most difficult question to answer, how can we turn the tables on climate change? it's of a difficult question indeed. and there's not enough action and climate change. the good news, the f, vate, low cost renewables year for low cost electricity and transportation. and if it

conditioning heating system to heat pumps, it's happening globally. it's not happening at the right speed. we need doubling of speed to make it happen, that no extreme heat annoying, extreme precipitation will hit people worldwide. i would like to hear from you if you want to send me dell for the african audience. what is that limiting factor that is hindering them from taking up fashion models? the main problem here is that financing is more difficult than far call a guess for, and it's all about financing. it's economically viable, but finance it's more expensive and lower interest rates are very important. thank you very much. dunker winless bullying and took a short road trip to the neighboring state of brandon bag, which box green energy with subsidies. now, when considering how communities can be empowered with green energy, it mix a moto says to walk with what you've got. now, africa, where i come from,

has sun want year old, as you can see, has a lot of weight. they can say that again sandra, but regulations in germany, big install in large wind turbines like this. somewhat difficult it can take years to get approval. but a vessel the case everywhere piece in europe. the dentist island a one home wants to become at least environmentally speaking. the greenest island on the planet bought. just how close are they to achieving that goal? let's see. i know it's a little look like it right now, but this island might be the best island in europe and even the world. not because of its sandy beaches or its architecture or year round were weather. so cool. but because it's may be the greenest island in the world. all the energy produced here is we use the we use

a lot of their weight and are reviving their struggling economy by becoming more sustainable. so how did they become the greenest island? can they keep it up and what can we all learn from them? the 1st step was to reduce waste the common problem with islands is that waste can pile up quickly and can be expensive to ship out many islands, especially those with lots of tourists like bali. i heavily polluted with plastic and other trash and been a lot of it on the island, which used to be similar here to people already have to thought they household waste into 6 categories and they wanted about 212 and the waste that the recycling yard is divided into 40 categories to make recycling easier and more efficient. looking beautiful. so many businesses on bonham and also recycle their own waste so

that it doesn't even have to make its way to the recycle like this fiber which is left over from producing rape. see the will because this directly from the from are you still have a little bit of waste leaves and stuff like that which we are taking away also. and that we are pressing into pellets. which way he think is saving money. so no need to buy oil or gas or anything in this sustainable hotel, a lot of the furniture is made of wood would have been thrown away shower water is we used to flush the toilet. and to add a whimsical touch, this path is made from old glass bottles. and that doesn't mean bonham is completely waste free. some hazardous trash still gets lanfield and about a quarter of it gets bound to the goal is to sought the waist so well that nothing

has to be banned at the latest by 2032. that's when this plant will have to shut down because it will be too old for a 2nd. that was to stop reducing their own energy and become less depend on electricity for elsewhere. islands especially, are often dependent on the mainland or even other countries, providing them with energy which can become expensive. up until a few decades ago, bonham's energy came from almost a 100 percent fossil fuels. but not anymore. we have solar panels or photovoltaics . we have a bio gas system on bonham and of course also wind turbines on shore. some of the solar panels were developed, especially for bon home like lees, windowpane ones. many businesses send their organic ways to a bio gas facility where it's turned into energy. most of the remaining electricity and some of the heat on bonham is produced by burning wood chips.

although wood is renewable burning, it is one of the dirtiest ways of producing energy. it emits a lot of seo to. that's why bonham is planning to use less of it. another hitch was the same problem. a lot of other places have people are very, very fond. well that will live, i think we all are. and of course, this is a discussion always when you put a winter over there, you can really see them. many islanders were against windmills in their back yard. therefore, our local politician actually said, well, our food is not to put up more wind turbans on shore. we will put off shore on there, sadly enough when for wind power, bonham's harbor is already full of offshore wind turbines, which are going to be installed a few kilometers off the coast. and on top of that, they face a well known problem. what to do when the wind stops blowing and the sun stops shining, the energy produced in peak time needs to be stored for when none is generated is

going to pull of a massive energy storage capacity here on both. and so what is molten salt? it basically is salt, and we will mill on putting in electricity. suppose it was issued from the winter months when the arriving. and then we renewed in new energy, didn't we just put water internet and creech steam, and then we produce heat and power. so therefore, we can contain a lot of energy for a long period of time. actually the around 20 charging station scattered across bonham, which is not a lot electric cars are still more expensive than gasoline ones. meaning it's a hard switch to make if you're not the richest of regions. once more of them on the streets, their own home plans to use the car batteries to also store some excess energy which is already happening on a test basis with these electric cars that are owned by the islands municipality. another big problem is this very because it runs on marine diesel and as very dirty

. there's some discussion about hydrogen oil, electric engines, which are cleaner, but it's still very early days. change can be slower than wanted, especially if you can't just throw money at a problem. i strongly agree that all people want to do the right thing and the most green thing, but they have to be able to afford it also at the same time. that's why a lot of the efforts here are co funded by you or governmental programs or are set up as experiments that companies collaborate on and invest money into. so of course, all of these efforts don't mean the entire island is super green and the people are friendly, politic, rolling technologies and missing fund can get in the way and delay program. there are still a lot of things we can learn from this tiny island. experimenting away on the baltic sea, you can't just copy what was done here and paste it anywhere. but you can copy the core idea, which is makes a faint ability, the easiest most logical and he'd

a way of doing things. and where this isn't the, yet we need incentives, like wrapping up active on fossil fuels, subsidizing electric transport, or investing in experimental project like this one. well, it's true while the se time flies, when you have it fun. take a look at a few. were standing on the roof top at the dw political office, and you can see the whole city from up here. i've really enjoyed this opportunity to meet as bank time with production partners in presence. thanks for the invitation. next week, i'll be back present in the she'll fro somewhat warmer region interior and hopefully we should be back year for the summer. shoot. what do you think? i think it is a brilliant idea, greece and made me thanks for me too. it was indeed a pleasure to be in berlin. i especially liked the wind turbines in the german countryside, very impressive to look cards and all of you, our view as
