ah, a kite that transforms went into energy, a vacuum cleaner, that pull c o 2 out of the air and jones that plan, treat digital innovations that combat climate change. our topic today on shift ah, to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees celsius. greenhouse gas emissions must be nearly half by 2030. this is what the intergovernmental panel on climate change has recently reported. the consequences are a huge forest fires melting polar ice caps and devastating floods only by consistently avoiding using oil, gas and other fossil fuels. can we stop the trend or could digital innovations help humanity? some of them sound too good to be true, like the c o 2 vacuum cleaner. ah!

near iceland capital reykjavik, atlanta actively removed. c o. 2 from the ear has been operating since 2021. the technology behind it is cold direct here capture each collection tanks extract the carbon dioxide with high tech filters and fans. first, they use heat to separate the carbon dioxide than it is mixed with water and injected deep into the earth. the are the carbon cools and solidifies and no longer contributes to global warming. the plant is the largest of its kind and can capture and bind for 1000 tons of c o 2 per year. but it meets a lot of energy. iceland is night deal acacia because it has both hydro and u. thermal resources. renewable energy is abundant and cheaper. it's the only sensible way to run the plant. we are coming it to use only renewable energy. so we don't want to emit c o 2 while

capturing caea to the plant. we have an ice length. its efficiency is higher than 90 percent. which means that for one come we are capturing. we omit about 10 percent. so we're make about 100 kilo plane works 1st direct here. capture plant went into operation in 2017 at the swiss site. the c o 2 was not stored in the ground but uses fertilizer in nearby greenhouses. this closes the carbon cycle and prevents more carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. an impressive approach and it really works. but how much influence can at half, on global warming? the plant on iceland can capture as much c o 2 in a year as 250 citizens in the u. s. consume. similar projects such as storing c o 2 under the ocean floor have only had limited success, says

a j gambit of impure college london. much older technologies with carbon capture and storage which day. so the c o 2 out the atmosphere is such that actually capture carbon dioxide, room combustion, fossil fuels, and things like that. industrial manufacturing plants in poll, gas light house stations, and the common factor in storage technology has been a bit of a disappointment in terms of the rate which has been able to be pilots is demonstrated instead of industrial c o. 2 filtering plans can therefore only stop the rising global warming to a small extent. so let's take a look at a completely natural method photosynthesis. plants grow using only light water and carbon dioxide forests are especially effective at removing c o 2 from the air. according to german climate expert julia pon cuts from all the a metro so called nitro solutions. forests are the ones that are probably of the

largest potential. this is simply because it's large areas that potentially could be a forest that. and forests have a rather high carbon density, so not of carbon per square meter. but every year, around, 15000000000 trees are cut down worldwide. this is for firewood or because the land is needed for agriculture, new roads, or settlements. grasslands and deserts continue to spret. this contributes to global warming. at the same time, climate change helps create even more grass lands. it's a vicious circle in spain rangers are trying to stop this trend using drones. they want trees to grow here again. in only 2 days, they have spread around 500000 seats. in india, the start up my route. drones wants to use similar technology to plant 1000000000 trees by 2030. the theed copter plant trees from the air. the drones selectively spread seed balls over areas to plant new forests or to strengthen weaken forests. a drone can carry 10 kilos of seed falls each holding 4

to 5000 feet. this technology offers new opportunities for reforestation, says storage, petty, co founder of moderate drones. india is anybody where dvd geography and burden like deserves in boston, that that ice in oregon are among rules in which bengal. so there are many regions fair people are unable to reach for their not many activities that are going on at present. so you've got that can be to these areas under to believe the us with is before sewing the drones survey the terrain afterwards, the seat capture continues to work. it monitors the seedlings from the air and the results are collected in a database to ensure healthy forest growth. so once the immensity stick and beat on some specific algorithms which can process this,

emerged in the clear but optimum, invent lake, understand optimum environmental parameters for maximum plan growth. so based on this information, we understand like which spot of the forest needs to be taken, get rid of it is thin adverb, with a low growth of 43 color. and also, what is the optimal seed, ball consolation that you're still going. artificial intelligence is decisive in monitoring the a for a station efforts, but it can take up to 40 years for trees to grow and actually sequester c o 2. according to green i t expert chris adams. they talk about planting a ridiculous amount of trees as in them the, the area of india, i, me, one companies or carbon emissions rather than just actually getting fossil fuels. so these can sometimes be end up being the unintended impact of being a extraction from much more important conversations. authority colonization. if we are to stop law the warming, we cannot simply keep burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil,

and gas. but where will our energy come from? then? could you imagine life without electricity? for nearly 800000000 people worldwide? that's the reality. most of them live in sub saharan africa. sierra leone in west africa is one of the least electrified countries in the world. only 23 percent of the population has reliable access to electricity. intelligence solar networks are set to change all that solar panels have changed life and to come to a village in sierra leone. there is finally reliable power from renewable sources. a great improvement people here had a youth delay because he that the for study fell out there at a youth beneficial freezer. if you're not going to be muffled full on life in our mic, i'll doing possess coma. because ultimately, anyway,

the guy from the dream still called glad eddy capital come by this community solar powered mini group is designed to solve 2 problems at once. first, provide much needed access to electricity. second, reduce greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy p. d centralized energy system works in remote areas of the national power group and intelligent control systems are able to capture any superfluous energy. the power and company installed the microgrids per manager mohammed. so leo county is a promising concept is community 5 years down the road? it was completely dark or low. today we have electricity here for me going forward for the rest of the all. this is of a good, a viable option. our micro grits or local solar energy grids. really

a global solution. we asked energy expert marie for bras are from kenya micro grid and not the be all and all and save up will lead a from so every but they're in the integrity part of the electrification process in the, in the global thought. ah, like for example, the solution found by dr. m. a thing in the indian state of rochester. he has installed solar panels both on his hospital and on the family farmland, missouri like i feel like i'm contributing to the needs of my village co put a month or 220 megawatts in and i'm generating 5 megawatts here and my land regarding it. so i am contributing to 2 percent that is my village power needs. i feel good about that. i am, he regularly feeds solar energy into the local power grid. individual projects which utilize a i can provide local relief. other solutions are needed to meet the rising global

demand for energy. there needs to be an understanding that is not centralized. breed voss is smarter microgrids or bosses standalone solutions. it's really what's the best solution within each context. oh, the german company enter kite has an innovative and decentralized way of generating energy. it uses the power of the wind. there are no huge wind turbines, but instead a mobile system. the portable system consists of only 3 main components. the stunt kite, the control lines, and the steering cabin. the kite is sloane automatically, with prevailing wind conditions being taken into account. they fly higher than the tops of existing wind turbines. and i had noticed in cool enter, kate uses the wind up high, where it blew strongly and consistently above to these wind turbines uses high

technology. kate systems that are controlled from the ground and transmit the wind power via the lines to a generator on the ground. he's either or not and get it out for you. but the kites are designed to generate twice the power of conventional wind turbines. a decline only the small turbine blade tips are actually effective. with zombies, we've reduced our system to that it would see and, and replaced the stability of steel and concrete with a very reliable control system. the tone which i didn't get to for that. so you're going on the costs for solar and wind energy and for batteries are thinking they are down 85 percent since 2010. but time is running out. we must act now and make more use of modern energy technologies. the i p. c. c has warned that we have only 3 years to reverse the trend in greenhouse gas emissions. there are innovations,

however, the technologies we have seen today are only a small part of the solution. the theo, 2 vacuum cleaner won't help if we still burn oil and gas. what have you done to tackle climate change and which technologies do you find the most promising? tell us on youtube already w dot. come by and see you next time. ah, ah ah, you cream was like a stepping point, you know, pi vote you in to that ward you want to me finish your studies now. yeah, we're saying if you from 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 i don't want to go back to niger like i do. i have any reason for

this? no reason that's loving for me. that yeah, believe something great is coming very, very so. and yeah, can we learn more about la valise story in for my grief, reliable news from my grants, wherever they may be, the trio taking on nigerian trafficking networks. a lot of things when it comes to trafficking nigerian women feel sick. so they're always saying the same thing about you get to go without having to pay thing. it obviously that's all align m n a forms. yes. and then you succeed in restoring this young girls ability to treat it. it's something that really is price and met a man that gives me not to what i do. the trio combating, shooting dealings starts april 29th.
