all the best to the 2 of them is a reminder of the top story we're following for you at this hour. police in japan have detained a suspect for allegedly throwing a smoke bomb. as prime minister from yoshida was due to give a campaign speech. the incident comes less than here of the former prime minister sion so op and was assassinated while campaigning coming up next shift looks at how technology is being used to fight climate change. watching detail the news for me and the team here in berlin. thanks for keeping as a company they want to know what makes the gen ed here just in the gym. loved on batting thing that way, but i'm not going to have to work my own car and everyone with later holes in every single day getting are you ready to meet the german going me right. just do it on

d. w. the tree of taking on like you're in trafficking that works. she said, i, you go very well. you can make gates and you know, and when i got to play and then go to the 4th into his vision in movies, and what makes sure that the trio combating shady dealings starts. april 29th on d. w. a kite that transforms went into energy, a vacuum cleaner, that pulls c o 2 out of the air and drove that plum trees. digital innovations that combat climate change, our topic to day 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 seo to a vacuum cleaner. ah! near iceland capital reykjavik, a plant the actively remove c o. 2 from the ear has been operating since 2021. the technology behind it is called direct your capture. each collection times 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. they are the carbon cools and solidifies, and no longer contributes to global warming. the plant is the largest of its kind.

i can capture and bind $4000.00 tons you turn per year, but it meets a lot of energy. iceland is night deal location because it has both hydro and geothermal resources. renewable energy is abundant and cheaper. it's the only sensible way to run the plant. we are committed to use only renewable energy, so we don't want to emit c o 2 while capturing c o 2. the plant we have in iceland, it's if, since he is hired and 90 percent, which means that for one come, we are capturing, we admit about 10 percent. so we make about 100 kilo plane works 1st direct here capture plant went into operation in 2017 at the swiss site. the c u 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 it 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 imperial college london. much older technologies with carbon capture storage, which they suck the seo to out. the atmosphere is such but actually capture aside from the combustion of fossil fuels and things like that. industrial manufacturing plants, cold gas light power stations. and that comes out from storage. technology has been a bit of a disappointment in terms of the rate which has been able to be piloted,

demonstrated in standoff, industrial c o 2 fell, trend 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 guts. from all the metro so called metro solutions for as are the ones that are probably have the largest potential. this is simply because it's large areas that potentially could be a forest that and horace have a rather high carbon density. so not of carbon per square meter, but every year around $15000000000.00 trees are cut down worldwide. this is for firewood or because the land is needed for agriculture, new roads, or settlements. grasslands and deserts continued to spret. this contributes to global warming. at the same time, climate change helps create even more grasslands. 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 seed copter plant trees from the air. the drones selectively spread seed falls 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 margaret drones. india is a biddy ready ready? geography and burden leg deserve seemed rather stun that that ice him with the rock on our mongrels in west bengal. so there are many regions fear people are unable to reach for they are not many activities that are going on at present sieve. got that

can be used these areas under to believe 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 emitter istic and read on some specific algorithms which can process this, emerged it to create that optimum input on like 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 avo, very low growth of 3 color. and also what is the optimal see ball configuration that you're still going. artificial intelligence is decisive in monitoring the a for 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 took around planting a ridiculous amount of trees as in them the, the area of india. i me, one companies are carbon emissions rather than just actually gentle fossil heroes. so these can sometimes be and not being the unintended impact of being a distraction 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 were wide, 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 of changed life

and to come to a village in sierra leone. there is finally reliable power from renewable sources. a great improvement. the people here had a used light the globe. he therefore studied fella. they at a youth, any fish, all fries are a fine. you don't want to be muffled full on life in our mic. i didn't we visit coma across all different anyway, the guy from the drysdale called loud eddie cap. welcome bye. eskimiya solar powered minnie. grease 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 powergen 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. what low today we have electricity here for me going for for the rest of the all. this is of a good, valuable, offshore. 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 seem up lead. so everything, but they're an integral part of the electrification process in the, in the global south. 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 farm land,

missouri like i feel like i'm contributing to the needs of my village. co put live on it for 220 megawatts and i am generating 5 megawatts here on my land regards the network. and so i am contributing to 2 percent every single my village's power needs. i feel good about that. he regularly feeds solar energy into the local power grid, individual projects which utilize a i can provide local relief but other solutions are needed to meet the rising global demand for energy. there needs to be an understanding that is not centralized. greed vases smarter microgrids or vases stumbled on 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 flown automatically with prevailing wind conditions being taken into account. they fly higher than the tops of existing wind turbines. like i'd noticed in goal enter, kate uses the wind up high, where it blew strongly and consistently above to these wind turbines. high 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 a would not get an artful, but hug the kites, are designed to generate twice the power of conventional wind turbines. decline only the small turbine bleed tips are actually effective. the page looks on this. we've reduced our system to that. it looks and replaced the stability of

steel and concrete with a very reliable control system that will be told to which i didn't get to for that thing. on all the costs for solar and wind energy and for batteries are sinking. they're 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 and greenhouse gas emissions. there are innovations, however, the technologies we have seen today are only a small part of the solution. the theo to 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.

ah rooney check come fi check. in 1st it seems pretty flawless. the mercedes e q s s c v. now let's see what it can really do. we test drive, what's probably the most luxurious all electric as the b on the market. read on d w. ah . would you work as an architect to go all in or not at all? women in architecture? ah, why are they so invisible to the larger public?

we decided to ask them, what is the poetry, the secret of the house about their struggles and dreams. responsibility is huge, they have so much to lose shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. this has to be really, really good. starts april 20th on d. w. coming up on red giant, the world's biggest producer of e cars now aims to conquer europe. the mercedes e q s s u v, a luxury electric golf roader and a labor of love and gonna as a workshop breathes new life into classic cars.
