i have paid almost every price of being a journalist in a country like turkey taking all the powers that be they risk everything, john dunbar, meet activists, journalists, and politicians living in exile. they will in torture. they live for their mission. what drives them? people need to know what is happening there are series guardians of truth watch now on youtube. d. w documentary ah, with hello and welcome to equal africa the same from gemini. i am sandra tree novia, and i'm so play type it to be presenting the shelf 5 by 5 with my wonderful co host

right here in one of your major capitals at also home till partner broadcast it d t m b. yes, we are delighted to be here in front of the brown, the broad gate. one of the seats is both i on a lan bug where i can purchase is carnegie at about 5 degrees says shes sounds quite co on the special edition. what you're asking. oh, green energy can paw on in pa countries. so sondra, shall we start with a quick preview of what's in store. good idea, cri, uninformed coming up. we have green energy from hydrogen, met in namibia, and we visit a danish, my london, striving to become west and emissions free. our 1st report, however, deals with a more controversial side of energy production. the earth may beat in up at an

alumni 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 keeps flowing. 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 equally ported when to see how it is affecting the country. like many other fishermen on synagogue coast package, our uses fishing line or small net. so 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. they are soon, i got the fisherman now fear even less catch and of mainly small fish like sardines

or cutlass fish continents. and i got to run out on domino 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'm not one of the le, 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 l n 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 is home to large schools of fish as

well as many dolphins. it also boasts one of the world's largest coldwater 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 fear buster, the criticism is justified because they didn't go where they should have to get the most up to date information about the area of law. ms. m. for mom, she only blew a song the dollars they did the study without any partner saying that you saw 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 to lay out for nampa. different inter differ we are in the process of conducting a reference study, but it knows that there's india got their co voss. 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, neutral, or positive and negative will be it. but i don't think it'll be positive id visit, 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 war. atanya 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 reeves, notably for the sector of fishing, but also with training of the community is affected here with the secret immunity. 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 coupled in the pool, so one at 90 percent of the gas is being exported. and that's what we don't want goes key cookie. it can't be that all the gas produced in synagogue is exported internationally to run other countries. industries. it is while we fail to build industries in our country. i'm awfully says industry. ellen g tankers are already waiting outside. the port of docker global demand for gas has increased due to the war and ukraine,

but europe has agreed to phase out fossil fuel subsidy 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. she 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. she didn't finish given the threat to fisherman's livelihoods. organizations like don't gas africa are calling for more investment in renewables and environmental protection for but if, if you can't cause damage to our country, luck and environmental catastrophe here to benefit other countries or go to the meanwhile for barker, joe and his fellow fishermen, they look into an uncertain future,

a drop in the demand for gas might cause the government to rethink its strategy. but until this could happen, synagogue fishermen will continue to struggle. what better place to talk about energy here in berlin than here known as the gasoline meter. it was built in 19 o 9 and was once one of the 3 largest gas story tanks in europe. but it ran out of services $9.00 to $95.00, and it's now a historical monument. and maybe that'll exceed the case because the fisa belongs to been energies like hydrogen. did you know of art louise, a german 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 in a truck around a research to accel k, a national park in southern namibia. the are looking for the best location to erect wind turbines. as part of a 10000000000 euro energy project. where we are right now for some of the world's best on shore. wind we know is, is, is really a world class resource. 15 kilometers to the east. we have our solar sights, which is some of the world's best solar. so within a very close proximity, we have very good renewables. the media has disseminated 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 nearby ocean will be pumped here by pipeline. it

will be used to produce hydrogen, which will be shipped to germany for its energy supply. hydrogen can be used to fuel buses and cars. paula chemical plans, who's metals, to use, or simply heat homes and businesses. aside from the media, gemini also has plans for mega projects in other countries, including in autocratic ones. altogether, it is investing in 10 different countries. i have hundreds, we have trade ties with autocratic states where there's no press freedom. we have to deal with that. at the same time, we will still have to solve the energy transition and climate crisis. 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 in look, a mock region informs it's walk in the media 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 applies from the deal but been w, it's noise gone for a lot. this area in the ogre mark is also comparable to the area in namibia we're hydrogen is set to be produced. but then may be in town of ludovic, 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 low cost electricity and anything else . so um, i would say people doesn't have much critical views, but down 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 light for these resident to the machine. now low to put these work up with it in and show the money you know, 20. he lives in the nominal the,

we want to supply both additional electricity and water from our project to the people of namibia 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 stand to gain immensely from projects like these wall watson undertaken. it will be interesting to see how these progress, but that's just one example of future that 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 soften ability. while it is an amazing place, especially as what people hear a walking to it's one goal to invalid. so many to achieve them, reach us target 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 really slow the climate crisis. we must onto renewables and still pieces will still fuels could make sample from the me b, b, a wible model. 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 p d compensation. but it also offers the oppertunity to get clean and a to city and also clean water for a b, b. so i think it's good opportunity to what extent can fortune, what is the project despotic in northern africa, for example, never really quarter the grind. the original idea was to supply you replace 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 does it take was 10 or 20 years to early. i think it's important to design the project that both continents, africa, and europe profit from the projects. and it's also important to differentiate between, between countries, between the cost countries have different needs and also potential, okay. it looks like it is possible to create some sort of green and the ducal friction between offers in europe. so why projects like the old 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 projects like that. and i'm not part of your work involves

the term lead greenhouse emission levels in lots cities, legal and kyra, just 2 of the mega cities on the african continent. not what would health to get cities to turn away from climate damages practices. more quickly said 2 things, 2 important things to go forward. first cooling, say important in housing, in african cities in many countries. and it's important to have clean energy from foot attacks and vent falling. and transportation is also very important. and for that, it's very important to have electric buses and a trembling face instead of private motor vehicles. that would 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 as a byte speed. we need doubling of speed to make it happen, that no extreme heat annoying, extreme precipitation for people to hit people worldwide. i'd like to hear from you if you want to send it off for the african audience. what is that limiting factor that he is hindering them from taking up fashion widows? the main problem here is that fine, and i think it's 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 we love berlin and took a short road trip to the neighboring state of bonded bag, which bunks green energy with subsidies. now, when considering how communities can be impala with green energy,

it mix moto says to walk with what you've got. now, africa, where i come from, has sun want europe, as you can see, has a lot of weight. you can say that again, sandra bought regulations in germany. big install in large wind turbines like this . no more difficult. it can take years to get approval. but that's not the case everywhere. peace in europe, the danish island, a one home wants to become at least environmentally speaking, the greenest island on the planet. but just how close are they to achieving that goal? let's see. i know it looked like there 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 world weather. oh. but because it's maybe the greenest island in the world,

all the energy produced here is with the reuse, a lot of their wasted and are reviving their struggling economy by becoming more sustainable. so how did they become the green this 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 barley, i heavily polluted with plastic and other trash and burn a lot of it on the island. which used to be similar here to people already have to thought they household waste into thinking categories and they want to about to 12. 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 to 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 that 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. but that doesn't mean bonham is completely waste free. some hazardous trash still gets lanfield and about a quarter of it gets band, with 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. the 2nd step was to stop producing 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 any more. we have solar panels or photo bottex . we have a barrel gas system on bonham and of course also wind turbines on shore. some of the solar panels were developed, especially for bonham. like these windowpane ones, many businesses and their organic waste 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 banning it is one of the dirtiest ways of producing energy it emits a lot of c o 2. 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 of where that will live. i think we all off. and of course this is us discussion always when you put on winter wants to live. you can really see them. many islanders were against windmills in their back yard. therefore our local politicians exit well, our food is not to put up more winter robots on shore. we will put off shore and there, sadly enough, when for wind power, bonhams 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. we're going to pull of a massive energy storage capacity here on more from sort. what does molten salt? it basically is salt and we will melt on on putting in electricity. shoppers in electricity from the winter months when the arriving. and then we renewed it need energy didn't we just put water into it 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 pon home, 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 regions. once more of them on the street, 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 a 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, the entire island is super green and the to break a friendly politic darling technologies and missing fund can get in the way and delay programs. there's 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 pasted anywhere, but you can copy the core idea, which is makes a thin ability, the easiest,

most logical and key way of doing things. and where this isn't the case yet. we need incentives. like wrapping up factors on fossil fuels, subsidizing electric transport, or investing in experimental project like this one. well, it's true. well the say time flies when you will have it fun. take a look at a few. were standing on the roof top at the dw, please school office, and you can see the whole seat from up here. i've really enjoyed this opportunity to meet as pang time without production partners in presence. thanks for the invitation. next week, i'll be back present the shield from somewhat warmer region nigeria and hopefully we should be back here for some shoot. what do you think? i think it is a brilliant idea, greece and many thanks for me to. it was indeed a pleasure to be in abilene. i especially liked the wind turbines in the german
