ah, as to what did you do before i played the channels tested? she survived auschwitz, thanks to music. he was the nazi's favorite conductor, to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power and inspiring story about survival. music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube of d. w documentary. thank oh, hello. i'm sorry because the lady and saw he need to remove this mask. not a huge fan of it anyway. keep keeps winning my me up. but what option do we have? look at all of this construction dusted on my house. anyway, i'm sorry,

got the lady and your watching ego india. and today i will take you along with me to explore innovations that are offering improvements to the way we build, including how to deal with this annoying dust hand to my heart. if i could, i will go to to, she gave at least once every month. and maybe also lived there between october and december because of the pollution and maybe also man june because of the big heat. i mean, i can practically live this, but i feel more deli 8th and people who live near the capitol region would share my sentiment. let me show you. this kid is a beautiful city located in the foothills of our he, maria's in and out mountain feet with rock on the beautiful, pristine ganges floor through here. and it is a pop, you know, we can get away for more delegates. i mean, i've given a choice, no one would deny living here. i mean, also because delhi is a city of extremes,

the heat me, they'll call wave and unbelievable pollution. the pollution here gets so bad that be we haven't done for people who leave messages for a couple of months. the polluted months is quite a while you cation and i mean, one of the major reasons i cited for this pollution is double bonding, like least for a couple of those months. but there is someone who has done this problem into a solution for the same problem. hook in on what it is, see for yourself. loop in the low lying mountains of a, she gauge locked me sewer. swamis overseen construction on a hillside home for her family. and husbands patterns will move yet to skip the toxic air pollution that plagues delhi and it's greater metropolitan region. no, not the and c r. basically, the idea is off for making my aim loss feel more comfortable with respect to all the unfortunate illnesses that you encountered in places like n,

sciatic cetera. so you know, diabetes and pressure, et cetera. so wanted to bring them to a place which was more peaceful and more connected to than the house is not just located in a beach with sit. it is also building materials that are easier on the and one and then conventional homes above all, with an alternative brick build by its makers as god the negative dot as because it addresses one sos of the stifling, the small duct jokes denny, and other immune cities. during the winter, when farmers dotted their fields to clear them of grub residue and dine for their next sewing season to tackle the problem. don't johnny set out to dance dublin to had his souls de brick. he named a girl creed combines groped based like betty straw with the mineral binding since 2020. his company green gems has produced thousands of blocks that had saved have

helped capture more than 130 tons of climate heating, carbon dioxide. so in the crop is growing in absorbing theatre from the atmosphere and it has basically embodying it. but if you leave it or be come for the burn. the theater goes back to the atmosphere. essentially the cobblins i could put in a nutshell, now we stop at that. we take the crop residues, we mix it with a middle binders. so now we're just chemically bonded within that concrete. and that is how we're actually able to run the cobblins cycle and put that theo too, into this mix. and because it has chemically bonded, it does not ever go back. i'll get the atmosphere. the bricks are lightweight and easy to handle. they're also robust an offer a better prominent solution than widely used clay bricks like these that makes them a sturdy alternative for smaller scale buildings in a country that over the next 15 years expects to see a continued construction boom. a clean sort of needs to be fired under both powers

in degrees and degrade to cleared good bricks, which is a high temperature. and of course, if you have such high temperatures, you usually need a lot of fuel. and most of that fuel is, of course, colby's so in fact, india is the 2nd largest producer of bricks. he produce about 202260 1000000000 bricks every year. and in terms of industry, it's the 3rd largest consumer of coal. so you can imagine how much of emissions i've place because if it i grew, greed doesn't just have the potential to cut pollution caused by stubble, burning and clay kills the bricks are manufactured by franchise, barkers who sows, harvest residue from local farmer. again, that generates extra income for farmers and gut emissions from prosper, patient and logistics. so we per kilogram residues they come bundle lose their common multiple formats. depending on how it is harvested. we filed them up here and you can see this odd tiny hillock or fall by the straw here. and our

after that happens the once we receive it here. the next thing that we do is we are using a threshold machine. ah, it's regular farm equipment. this has been used since centuries on, so we use that and we resize them, which of them up into our smaller particles. once job and soaked, establish combined with a pretended binder also made from agricultural residue and non toxic by products of a steel manufacturer. this is a bad mix up into this guar. the crop residues and the flesh and the most important competent without which aggravate cannot be made, which has bind up. so those are on the back of by no re manufactured it and resides in our manufacturing unit. hoffen on after mixing, the egg laquita is molded and left to sun dry for a week, prized between $26.55 rupees each. less than 60 euro. since

a single block equals the size of 8 to 10 directly. briggs, that makes it a cheaper option. it's also multiple problems. one, your vs gets reduced, ah, to stumble burning as you said, gets reduced 3rd, but hops the fact that you're not. if you use such a material, you're not going for a virgin, marty little which have to be extracted on mind on earth, which is a good thing and forth, but has also the fact that it can trap godwin and put it into our buildings, which gives me a way to sequester my carbon into my building. this is a wonderful idea that can we look forward with that andrew? she gauge civil arm is busy at locksmiths. he was from east construction site. it is the 2nd house he has built using agra creek bang. did you say the more did that come all the an interval of it is very easy to work with. first of all,

one block is bigger than a single conventional break much. so it gets faster to work with. i do not have to use a lot of more study that a c yet. i have used only one block. that's the same size that it had been since i would have to do this big times. this saves me time to learn more about going, how technology and nature can come together and how we can be responsible not on this. so i took the responsibility with the break and other things that we are going to use in this place so that it is going to be more sustainable. and of course, give the opportunity for my family to be more close to the nature of a home close to nature built with a bridge that can be produced almost anywhere laying the foundation for, built and bundle. and that's designed to protect our natural resources. ah,

feel is killing me environment. yeah. the same method that you are you dancing? got home and even the back of this watch is middle si, stainless steel. but still sucks because it is very damaging for the moment. i'm not saying this. x spots are telling us which means that every time you use any of the made up in the feel, your carbon footprint goes up. damn this one. but there are some things that can be done to reduce the ad was in the back of steel. on the environment. this of the metal that makes the modern world tip. imagine life without it. no cars or gadgets, electricity. but this one, the material that aligns are built around carry the dirty secret that nobody's talking about. the steel industry is responsible for jaw dropping. 8 percent of the wealth greenhouse gas pollution. and bizarrely, we're actually going to need

a lot more of it to clean up our economies. so how can we make steel green and what's wrong with the industries favorite solutions? there are 2 reasons, the steel making processes. so dirty, the 1st is purifying the iron or needed the steel, but heating i annoy the charco fire though, mixing it with coca cola in big bluffs furnaces. you can extract pure iron from rock. not because oxygen atoms in the ion all fly off and bind with carbon atoms in the cold. what's left behind is essentially pure iron known as reduced ion. and a whole lot of c o 2. the 2nd reason steel sat said that it takes colossal amounts of energy to power. this process that most of that comes from you guessed it, burning cold. so what should still make us be doing right now? either gen hydrogen nitrogen and only genes. wanda's all hodgen hydrogen is

a gas and fuel that can be made cleanly with renewable energy. oh, much less cleanly with fossil gas. if you reduce ion all with hydrogen, oxygen atoms no longer react with carbon atoms to make c o 2. instead, they react with hydrogen atoms to make a h 20, the beauty about this concept is ah, yes, you needs a new production process. but as a by product, you have water instead of c o 2 and, and this is how we can make, ah, but still making process. timing of the 2nd step is then feeding the purified ion into an electrical furnace. these devices meltdown scrapped steel or reduced ion with high currents of electricity that turn them into liquid steel. and ideally that they would be running on electricity made from renewable energy. that's pretty much what swedish steel make a s as a beaded when it delivered the wolf 1st batch of fossil free steel to comic of over

europe. steel. make of the betting that hydrogen will be the pietro steel right now . it cosmo to make this way. but if gas prices stay high and carbon taxes rise, switching away from fossil fuels will become increasingly attracted from a business perspective too. but of course, using hydrogen to learned doesn't make steel, greek. it's a process with several levels. kind of feels like an onion. this is caitlin wallack, a steel on the list of the u. s. based non profit global energy wanted to. the 1st layer is to make sure your electric arc furnace unit is running completely on like green energy. but then you need to make sure that the reducing agent and the direct reduce iron plants is hydrogen are that's not enough. you have to make sure that that hydrogen is actually being produced through an electrolyzer that's operating on 100 percent green. i'm renewable energy, sir. time for hydrogen right?

well, unfortunately, over the couch, you need a lot of hydrogen, like really loads, making all the steel in the you out of hydrogen would require about 6000000 tons of the gas. just to satisfy the steel industry, hydrogen, if you need almost as many wind turbines of the you have to date is not impossible, but it is a logistical nightmare. one of the big challenges is where we build these hydrogen ah, production facilities. it needs to happen in places that have that renewable energy capacity. the problem so far is lots of steel making regions, dirt, habit capacity for at least don't have plans to build a top anytime soon. and piping or shipping green hydrogen from elsewhere requires infrastructure to do so. and that all mean hydrogen can't be the whole solution. but the powerful waste simply by the problem that sounds almost too good to be true . recycling, you might not expect it,

but still is already one of the most recycled materials in the world. more than a quarter of the steel made today comes from recycled scrap steel the new need. that's basically because the 1st step, a purifying iron or is expensive melting down old steel. well, that's much cheaper, but there are limits. each time you price a steel little impurities, like cauffron nickel can sneak in and we can the metal. that means you can't recycle it forever. a 3rd solution has to keep the blast furnace as we're already using, but catch the emissions before they escape into the atmosphere. that's what advocates of carbon capture, cooling for. fossil fuel company said the principal, a simple stick, a box on top of the polluting pipe and sack up the c or 2 that comes out so you can use it in industry or start safely underground. the reality is trickier. today, capture rates are often low and casa hot. what's more, the fossil fuel industry has viewed the promise of carbon capture and storage,

or ccf as an excuse to keep on polluting. but when it comes to be caught by the heavy industries. and let's do broadly agree that ccf the vital role to play alongside hydrogen. we're way behind where we're going, and this is largely down into complete inaction on the policy level. this is about panel from the clean at hospitals. it's one of the few environmental organizations calling to put money into capturing carbon. one of the reasons why we, you know, we don't know answers to questions like how to raise the, how would that work in the commercial scale? is because your companies haven't had to actually reduce their mission. the international energy agency expects carbon capture to cover half of will steal production by 2050, the climate friendly scenario. if it works, it would free up hydrogen to be used in other processes that are also hot clean. but to date, we don't really know what chair of emissions cclc can actually capture from steel.

if steel make a stick to blast fantasies, but c c s doesn't quickly become cheap or efficient, the cold, a bird will just keep on polluting. we console steel by giving up on it. but there's a huge amount policy makes and companies can do to get the tech solutions working with age come visit him. we've all heard it. but what of the elderly and your community started willing houses with eggs and not said jagat. well, i will not be able to sleep. oh, wink in that house, even if i was forced to. i'm pretty sure a roof made of egg will certainly fall on my head. but probably that is why the elderly in a village in south india are wiser than i am. he has wife iving in gun to put the plan. it appears to be a village like any other in india's coming not to state the young have all left only the elderly, demean custodians of local knowledge,

including the reason which religious once been to their homes you are having made for i used to watch my father make them so your father, handcrafted them, used a killing to make them yes. construction engineers out of in manhattan and product, but as of the money m. want to tap into this ancient knowledge. they have visited more than 40 villages around them and not do in recent years. investigating the old techniques and building materials either community bollinger rather than in the used to be only one or 2 masons, but regional local people wouldn't work together on the la mail. and so any one over if you knew the anti prost monday, how a mud mixture shouldn't be and how to choose to model what to add to the lime and it's consistency and about grouping and floating with them. but we interviewed that elderly people in each region and benefit from their knowledge on the way he's on the landry of $17070.00 at all storm meas and keen trojan is one of the last

of his guy. and he's building a house 650 square meters anadia in villa coin in the old. he adds a divide to the line makes to lend the plaster effect and she's in the business for 50 years. he's delighted to share the secret of traditional construction with a new generation window. one of the houses in my village used to be a big tag. this was on the, in the city. the structure like this. but we had met was of a line plaster and tyler. this is tom. i went off. the main thing was wondering what i have in the minority and had a balance of money and have been building with natural mathias for the last 3 years . thinks like my balance not are january i sugar use in construction for centuries to bind line glasgow. me what reading of it. i'm going to go home.

shoes, local media, local soil. luckily sources for a lot only then easy to structure. does nothing big thing whitening though? to bother me off putting a t d u gone back there. i didn't read the maneuver and put a bunch of money to build her and always stay holiday home in the countryside. again, the natural foaming. i'll be leaving the organic farming because we wanted to provide good food for our number one, the phone and since the wanted to house to stay in when we came out here, be talking, why not do the book with the 7 year old twins been by and sat to begun love to play at their country home in bed on dry. the walls are quoted with 5 layers of line plaster that allowed the house to breathe. this natural material keeps the house cool in summer and warm during winter. the,

what's the rule for source from reclaimed wood market will need to be and her husband hammer dodge among a growing number of income house owners who have opted for green building materials around manhattan and barret valesa romania have already completed numerous sustainable projects, mainly in rural areas including schools, depending on model and workmanship, building, cor surprised it around $3000.00 rubies or $35.00 euros per square meter. by contrast, a conventional house costs less than half that sum. when it ever did, d dot and regrettably investment, she believes it's already paying dividends in a cleaner, more sustainable environment for her children. we all seen this rather breaks the incessant construction sounds and the dust we while been there. whether it's our own house being built on that new house around the corner which is being

reconstructed. but these, this material is literally the building block of the concrete jungle that we live in today. but after all of this, construction is done. it leaves behind tons of this wasted material, but like more things are that we have talked about on the shore to day. there is a company in southern germany which has found the solution to this as well. germany creeds, 280000000 tons of concrete waste every year. but at least of this, rob will soon be re purpose into new concrete face. accompany, and southern germany specializes and recycling, building materials. a crushing machine turns the concrete pieces into small granules, which are sorted by size. the granules are then sold to cement, manufactures what's good for face can also be good for the

environment. which i'm a onsite processing can save millions of truck kilometers. how many kilometers inch bon sand used to pre is concrete, is usually done from large pets, then transported hundreds of kilometers. the same is true for gravel. the 2nd component in concrete, but sand and gravel are becoming scarce. at this construction recycling plant, old red roofing tiles are also used to produce concrete, recycled sand is taken from an old construction pit. it's cleaned and served before being sorted by size of the of a bomb. everything here used to be a bridge or a floor slab or a house and we're making something new from it. all this material would have ended up in landfills and in some dumbbells and i now we can use it to make high quality building products that are used to new construction project. will i use it? so the recycle products are then delivered to customers like this nearby concrete

manufacture. this company is different than most of its competitors. because globally, only 2 percent of building materials get recycled. but this company depends on recycled materials, which account for 30 percent of its entire production. and the recycled concrete is less expensive to the materials are mixed in this plant and then delivered to customers. the final product will look like this. a building material that many customers prefer over conventional products. other solutions are also being developed at this cement plant, for example, permeable, concrete that can absorb rain, water, helping improve urban climates as cuz some of the vague mazel this interstate rainwater seeps through this concrete and goes under ground

one which can help improve groundwater levels, include fos, a household readable based on done donato, and then warner can cause the water to evaporate. muscle, eliminating hot surfaces is all mountains, unkindness, ohausen flatten, i could move. this could help prevent concrete deserts, with completely sealed surfaces, recycled. construction materials are also brought to this southern german company, which uses it to make concrete blocks. ingredients include recycled sand and recycled rock granules. they are constantly testing new stone formulas in the lab. experimenting with different colors, shapes and components to increase the portion of recycled content, which is 30 to 40 percent. the recycled look is intentional. and performer your films were primarily talking about up cycling or incompetent. we

want to produce a very high quality design. b, this tile pattern creates an entirely new surfaces. you look on the, on the gun loyal this is what it should look like. a new generation of recycled sidewalk with lots of green grass sprouting up in between and space for water to sleep into the ground. this is what many customers now want. it's a new gross market for the concrete industry. i hope you found this episode interesting and filled with some solid, concrete fact. colgate, no more jokes. but do let me know what did you like the most about the shop? and what would you like to see more of write to us at ego india, at the rate of v w dot com? we will keep bringing more stories to you about the impacts on our environment. and i hope you continue being a part of this journey with me. thank you so much. i will see you next week until

then have a lovely week. no muska. thing with

you. ah, ah, i just know that like, i'm dis sinful graters. that's something that i'd like in friends and meet the guy named milan mcqueen, dancer, fashion designer, and photographer. the multi talented artist is seeking up the are seen in tape town . for him it's all about transcending borders and taking on challenges. re

max 90 minutes on d. w. thank i'm an avalanche. are my welcome to my podcast, love matter. but i invite celebrities influences and experts to talk about all plain labs from day to day. nothing less of all these things and more and then you know, season of the plot can make sure to tune and wherever you get your pot path and join the conversation. because you know, it love matter and guardians of truth. my name is john dinner and i have paid almost every price of being a journalist in a country like turkey. taking all the powers that be they risk everything

they want to kill me. and they try many times. john dunder, asked activists, journalists and politicians living in exile to which and what drives them. it's too much on my shoulders, but i have to hold this weight because i'm responsible for the future fall country for the people far behind the bus. no danger. they live for their mission. people need to know what is happening there with the courageous effort against options and political crimes. ah. in our series guardians of truth watch now on youtube dw documentary. ah ah

ah, ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. the middle east is on high alert, was violence escalates to women, a shot and killed in the west bank hours after israel launches and strikes against targets in garza and lebanon. also on the program to battle for back most in ukraine. british intelligence as russian forces are probably taking the city center threatening a key you.
