court will be shut down and god only knows when they will be able to stand back up on their feet. so this is not just administered decision or the government decision. i have said least lead different durations and let the outlets decide because the olympic games is about via that's the latest that dw news this hour. i'm marion, evan steen from me and the entire team in berlin. thanks for watching german w one. see? oh, my god, organizing this award winning offer is available worldwide. and for every language level,

learning german has never been simpler. german to go with interest in the global economy. our portfolio, d w business be here's a closer look at the project. to analyze the flight for market dominance, get us with the w business beyond a kite that transforms wind into energy, a vacuum cleaner, that pull c o 2 out of the air. and jones that plan treats 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, a plant the actively removed c o. 2 from the air 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. they are, the carbon cools in solidifies,

and no longer contributes to global warming. the plant is the largest of its kind. i can capture and bind $4000.00 tons of c o 2 per year. but it meets a lot of energy. iceland is night deal location 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 committed 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 admit about 10 percent, so we make about 100 kilos. 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 and nearby green houses. 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 fear to under the ocean floor has only had limited success, says a j gambit of impure a college london. much older except technologies, we call them capture and storage, which they suck the seo to out. the atmosphere is such but actually capture carbon dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuels and things like that. industrial manufacturing plants in coal gas line stations, and that carbon comes from storage technology has been a bit of a disappointment in terms of the rate which has been able to be policy demonstrated

in standoff, 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 punk ups from all the a metro so called nitro solutions. forests 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 forests have a rather high carbon density. so a lot 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 continued 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 roots. 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 for us or to strengthen weaken for us, a drone can carry 10 kilos of feed ball each, holding 4 to 5000 feet. this technology offers new opportunities for reforestation, says the raj petty co founder of margaret groaned. india is a very ready, vedic geography and that in like desert him rather than that, that ice in that are gone are among rules in wristband. so there are many regions of people are unable to reach for there are not many activities that are going on

at present. he's got that can be serious. auditability with is the 4 sewing the drone 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 for once the miseries they can be done from specific algorithms which can process this image to create that optimum. and unlike understand optimum environmental parameters for the maximum plan growth. so based on this information, we understand like which spots of the forest needs to be taken care where there is thin are the very low growth of 3 color. and also, what is the optimal feed bulk on progression that needs to go in? 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 the area of india to meet one companies, carbon emissions rather than just actually get to fossil fuels. so these can sometimes be end up being the unintended impact of being a distraction from much more important conversations about the carbon ation. if we are to global warming, we cannot simply keep burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. but where will our energy come from been? could you imagine life without electricity shock 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. it is finally reliable power from renewable sources. a great improvement people here. at a is the light the globe. he that the for study fell out there at a youth and he visual freezer a, found it on call to beats muffled full on life in our mic. aladin possess, coma across all to put a new eric, i need grease, they're called glad, erica, or come by this community. solar powered mini greece is designed to solve 2 problems at once. first, provide much needed access to electricity. second, reduce greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy 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 soleah 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. busy this is a very good advice will offshore our micro greats or local solar energy rates. really, a global solution. we asked energy expert marie for bras are from kenya. microgrids, i'm not the be all and all and see but let from so every but they're in the integrity part of the electrification process in the, in the global south. like for example, the solution found by dr. i'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 one for 220 megawatts and i'm generating 5 megawatts here on my land regarding it. so i am contributing to 2 percent, every single my village is power needs. i feel good about the alignment. the 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 then needs to be an understanding that is not centralized . read vices smarter microgrids or vices 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 stunned kite, the control lines, and the steering cabin pump. the kite is sloane automatically, with prevailing when conditions been taken into account. they fly higher than the tops of existing wind turbines. i noticed in 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 an artful, but hug 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 will see and replace the stability of steel and concrete with a very reliable control system. baton, gets to financing your own. the costs for solar and wind energy and for batteries are thinking 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 in greenhouse gas emissions. there are innovations, however, the technologies we have seen today are only a small part of the solution. the seo 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, enter the conflict zone with sarah kelly. my guest this week on conflicts own was one of the most prominent members of russia's well connected power. a former kremlin advisor and economist, sergei, gloria now is a professor of economics and provost that vehicle is work illuminates how authoritarian she's like, survive. how does he assess, put his grip on power. the conflict with on d. w? well, i mean we can save the did see if we are to go to now. the vast salt lake is drying up with devastating consequences. freeman from jordan, palestine in israel, are planning to shake things up with

a risky feet to swim across the sea. dead sea guardians, in 30 minutes, d w. you want to know with love via and batting thing that way. but i'm not even know how to work my own car and everyone with later holes and everything today. just getting, are you ready to meet the german and join me, rachel stuart on d. w. my guess this week on conflicts on was one of the most prominent members of russia's well connected power, elite, former kremlin advisor. an economist, sergei gloria was head of a tough economic university and was being re elected to the supervisory board of spare. buck rushes largest lender when he suddenly fled to france 10 years ago saying he feared for his safety.
