oh the oh, hello, i'm sorry because i already am. sorry, i need to remove this mask. not a huge fan of, but anyway, keep, keep doing my makeup. but what options do we have? look at all of this construction. dusted on my health. anyway, i'm sorry. got the body and you're watching eagle india. and today i will take you along with me to explore innovations that are offering improvement to the way we build, including how to deal with this annoying dust hand to my heart. if i could, i would go to the she gauge or g once every month and maybe also live there between october and december because of the pollution. and maybe also man june because of

the heat. i mean, i can practically live this, but i feel more deli ice and people who live near the capitol region would share my sentiment. let me show you. this case is a beautiful city located in the foothills of molly. as in india mountain sate also dot com, the beautiful 15 ganges flows through here. under the popular we can get away for more delegates. i mean have given a choice. no one would deny living here. i mean, also because delhi is a city of extremes. the heat be they'll call we've and unbelievable pollution the pollution he gets so bad that the we have a term for people who leave the city for a couple of months, the polluted month. it's called for you. and i mean, one of the major reasons cited for this pollution is double bonding lightly for a couple of those a month. but that is someone who has done this problem into a solution for the same problems. hook it no more. it is sci fi also. ah,

in the low lying mountains of a she gauge locks me sooner. swamis overseen construction on a hillside home for her family and husbands. patterns will move yet escape the toxic air pollution that plagues delhi and it's greater metropolitan region known as the and c r. basically the idea is off for making my aim last feel more comfortable with respect dollar unfortunate illnesses that you encountered in places like n, sciatic cetera, so you know, diabetes and brush, et cetera. so wanted to bring them to a place which was more peaceful and more connected to them. the house is not just located in a beet will sit. it is also built in materials that are easier on the and one and then conventional homes above all, with an alternative brick build by its makers as goblin negative. that is because

it addresses one source of the stifling a small dick jokes deli and other immune cities during the winter, when farmers dotted their fields to care 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 source? the brick, he named a girl creed combines grove greased like betty straw with mineral binding. since 2020 his company green gems has produced thousands of blocks that it says, have helped capture more than 130 tons of climate heating, carbon dioxide. so in the crop is growing. it is absorbing c o 2 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 carbon cycle 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 carbon cycle and put that c o 2 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 better permanent solution than widely used clay bricks like these that make them a sturdy alternative for smaller scale buildings in a country that over the next 15 years, expect to see a continued construction boom. a clean sort of needs to be fired or both housing 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 who 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 are taking place because if it agra creek doesn't just have the potential to cut

pollution caused by st. double burning and click kills. the bricks are manufactured by franchise bottlers who sows harvest residue from local farm. again, that generates extra income for farmers and got emissions from prosper, patient and logistics. so we broke our crop 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. it's regular farm equipment. this has been used since centuries on the so we use that and we resize them, which op them up into our smaller particles. once job and soaked, establish combined with a pretended binder also made from agricultural residue and non toxic byproduct of

a steel manufacturer. this is a bad mix up into this guar, the crop residues and the flesh, and the most important competence without which aggravate cannot be made, which has bind up. so those are the bags of my know we manufactured it and reside in our own manufacturing unit. half an hour after mixing, the egg laquita is molded and left to son dry for a week. bryce between $26.55 rupees each. less than 60 euro. since a single block equals the size of 8 to 10 directly breaks. that makes it a cheaper option. it's always multiple problems. one, your vs gets reduced. ah, do stubble burning as you said, gets reduced 3rd, but have the fact that you're not. if you use such a material, you're not going for a virgin, marty little rich have to be extracted on mind from us, which is

a good thing and for it. but how to alter the fact that it can trap guideline and put it into our buildings, which gives me a way to sequester my carbon in the library. this is a wonderful idea that can we move forward with that. and russia gauge, civil arm is busy up locksmiths. he was swamis construction site. it is the 2nd house he has build using agreed you said the model that come on an interim below it is very easy to work with. first of all, one block is bigger, been a single conventional break much, so it gets faster to what would i do not have to use a lot of more study that how did let see 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 beat us. one's really

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 middle finger feel your carbon footprint goes on. damn this one.

but there are some things that can be done to deal with the ad was in the back of steel on the environment. this of the metal that makes the modern world tip. imagine a life without it. no cause homes, 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 process was so dirty. the 1st is purifying the iron or needed the steel, but heating i annoy the charco fi as o, mixing it with coca cola and big blast furnaces. you can extract pure iron from

rock. that's 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 load of c o 2. the 2nd reason steel suck said that it takes colossal amounts of energy to power this process. and most of that comes from you guessed it, burning coal. so what should still make is be doing right now. i got to hydrogen, hydrogen to hydrogen, wanda's all hodge hydrogen is a gas and fuel that can be made cleanly with renewable energy. oh, much less clearly 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 2. 0, if you would see about this concept is and yes, you needs a new production process. but as a byproduct, you have water instead of c o 2 and,

and this is how we can make, ah, the steel making process, ton of the 2nd step and then feeding the purified ion into an electrical photos. these devices meltdown. scrapped steel or reduced ion with high currents of electricity that turn them into liquids do. and ideally 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 the betting that hydrogen will be the future of steel right now . it costs more 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 lives. kind of feels like an onion. this is kaitlin's wallack, a steel analyst at the u. s. based non profit global energy monitor. 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 reduced iron plants is hydrogen. but 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 there was a catch. you need a lot of hydrogen, like really loads, making all the steel into 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 that 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, how much capacity for at least don't have plans to build a top anytime soon. and piping more shipping green hydrogen from elsewhere requires infrastructure to do so. and that all means 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 that nobody needs that basically because the 1st step, a purifying iron or is expensive melting down wholesale. 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 a blast furnace as we're already using. but catch the emissions before they escape into the atmosphere. that's what advocate the carbon capture cooling for fossil fuel companies, say the principal, a simple stick 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 costs are high. what's more, the fossil fuel industry has used the promise of carbon capture and storage ccf as an excuse to keep on polluting. but when it comes to be caught by the heavy industries, analysts do broadly agree that ccf the vital role to play alongside hydrogen. we're way behind them where the cabinet is going. and this is largely down into the inaction on the policy level. this is about panel from the cleaner 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 the answers to questions like capture rates. work in commercial is because companies haven't had to actually reduce their mission. the international energy agency expect carbon capture to cover half of all steel production by 2050 in 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 emission c t s can actually capture from steel. if steel make a stick to blast furnaces, but says yes, does of quickly become cheap or efficient to cold. a bird will just keep on polluting. we cancelled 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 gone, 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 life iving in going to put the plan. it appears to be a village like any other in india from 9 to state. the young have all left only the elderly, demean custodians of local knowledge, including the v's and vit. religious ones been to their homes. you are having a roommate, but i used to watch my father. make them so your father, handcrafted them, used a killing to make them yes. oh, construction engineers out of in manhattan and but, 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 minority bollinger rather than a low on the used to be only one or 2 masons, but regional local people would work together on the la male goodness. so any one over, if you knew the anti pro slender, how a mud mixture should be and how to choose to monitor on what to add to the lime and it's consistency and about grouping and floating with them. but i mean, we interviewed elderly people in each region and benefited from their knowledge on the way he's on aladdin. 3, opening 7070, or stone. me then came. the tragedy is one of the last of his guy and he's building a house 650 square meters. the media in villa point in the old style. advice to the line makes to lend the plaster effect and she in the business for 50 years. he's delighted to share the secret of traditional construction with a new generation of windows. one of the houses in my village used to be

a big sag. this was on the, in the city structure like this. but we had mud walls of lime plaster and tile room . this is tom. i went off, seemingly wondering what i have in the maneuver and had a balance of money and have been building with natural materials for the last 3 years. thanks 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 and local soil go look resources for a lot of only then easy district does nothing big thing. whitening little body for me off putting a t p back there. i didn't read the minute and put a bunch of money to build her and all started holiday home in the countryside. again, the natural foaming. i'll be leaving the organic farming because we wanted to provide

good for, for our number one, the phone. and since the wanted to house to stay in when we came out here, the target, why not do the book or the 7 year old twins been by and sat to begun love to play at their country home in bed and dry. the walls are quoted with 5 layers of lined plaster that allow the house to breathe. this natural material keeps the house cool in summer and warm during winter. the vote for the roof for sause from a reclaimed wood market. pulido at 80 and her husband ham garage are among a growing number of middle 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 doesn't regrettably invest wind. 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 dawns of this wasted material. but like more things are that we have talked about on the shore today. there is a company in southern germany which has found the solution to this as well. germany creed, 280000000 tons of concrete waste every year. but at least this rob will

soon be re purpose into new concrete face. accompany in 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. so be good for the environment. which either onsite processing can save millions of truck kilometers. how many kilometers i'm spawn? sand used to produce 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 was this whole bedroom up. all this material would have ended up in landfills on in some dump. and now we can use it to make high quality building products that are used in 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. just because some of the vague mazel this inch date rainwater seems through this concrete and goes under ground one which can help improve groundwater level synchron fossa, household beautiful basal or done to now her and then warner can cause the water to evaporate, muscle, eliminating hot surfaces is all mountains unkindness, ohausen flatten. i could lease 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 perform a good for you. we're primarily talking about up cycling the horn quantity. 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 oil. 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 seep into the ground. this is what many customers now want. it's a new growth 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 shops and what would you like to see more of write to us at ego india, at the date of d, 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 under land have a lovely week. no muska. thank
