to long before it was only when humans came along that the great mass extinction began an amazing diversity of distribution of the british isles. and they are going to preserve this habitat. the aisles start to main 19 on dw, the, the power of micro tips is enormous. and has catapulted a small island nation into the eye of a geo political storm. now, threats to the world's most important ship maker are turning into

a threat for the whole world war and that in a bits. and these are other topics on this week's edition of made the w's business magazine, greener without russian gas, the warm ukraine accelerate the energy transition. going was results in indonesian start up as fighting plastic and a breath of fresh air. frances and bracing, wind energy mountains. you know, welcome to the show to computer chips, are you big quitters, but they're only made in a few places and no other place makes more sophisticated chips then tie one is expertise, drives the modern world. because chips are found in computers, cars, phones, and much more. but this dependence also presents a global danger because the i went nation is increasingly under threats. and invasion by china can be ruled out and move that would shake the world economy. we

took a look at the great power struggle over micro tips, tips like this one containing cycle, semi conductors keep the world turning. the world market for semi conductors is what $600000000.00 per year. demonte usually out strip supply without them much of today's technology couldn't be built. most stomach, conductors are produced in one smooth country, taiwan, an island nation of the coast of china. it's only 400 kilometers long time to almost 24000000 people. trying to conduct regular military exercises around taiwan, trying to insists that taiwan is part of china. the prospect of a chinese invasion is 13 5th among the industrialized nations. but the domestic shortage of stomach conductors could be on its way to the west of life without tie one semi conductor production. and how can supply chain disruptions vehicle we did in the future. semi

conduct cause a pulse and pulse of everyday life aviation communications. traffic management to light technology, high tech wouldn't work without them. might have linked a semi conductors to the oil off the 21st essentially. and if you then think about how much effort nations and seats went through to secure for access to. busy we'll over the history of the 20th century, we kind of get a sense of where sammy conductors perhaps are taiwan dominates the semi conduct the markets with a 66 percent. yeah. it's followed by south korea with 17 percent in china, with 8 percent. the rest of the world combined to produce as 9 percent taiwan semi conductors are produced by 2 main suppliers. the majority come from the

company, t s m. c, followed by u m. c. of the smaller companies make up the rest. it's a natural monopoly for the islands nation, exacerbating status of disruptions and production. recent yes, i've seen production repeatedly come to a standstill due to chip shortages. for example, in the car industry. the reality is that the monitors that we conduct as worldwide of many different types. again, not just the most advanced chips is growing exponentially because of the templates for development to grow up with the internet of things, increasing computerization of everything. this is a semi conductor from the 1950s containing just 6 transistors. today's chips contains several 1000000000 transistors. the connections and much then at and a half. that diameter is comfortable to the length of the spikes on

a to bring the virus. this, poultry eating is about 10, you know, meters long. so by the sizes we use in chip manufacturing, that's already fairly large. and then a set to reduce dependence on time. and these chips appliance countries in the west of launch programs west billions to build new semi conduct, the factories in the us and the year or by the us government on the commission and brussels have signed off from the emissions projects which will cover all stages of my career process of development and production. the goal is to build that right in semi conduct to industry multi u. c. o, of ts, i'm see the tie when he's world market leader is playing a major role in these developments. he's currently building an you send me conduct

to factory in phoenix, arizona. it's a $3500000000.00 us dollars. t s m c will say plans to build a new factory in the you most likely in germany. other chip manufacturers like intel infinity and samsung have announced bullying your ro investments to set up additional production sites in various industrialized countries. and so to the extent that to me to re shoring takes place over. ready next several years um, this is probably going to be led by to some c by its korean competitor, samsung moving over locating new factories in the us. and the us was out of the incentives which i provided under the trip sax for the time being the world will continue to rely on semi conduct as the new infrastructure will take years to build supply is set to remain tight. the

beacon right job applications, love letters and history essays, artificial intelligence spots are entering all spears of our lives quickly. the intelligent child thought tool charge the p a t, for example, immediately went viral just months after it's launch. that's become the fastest growing consumer app ever for the tech industry. that's cause for celebration. but while it's booming, so it's carbon footprint. of the artificial intelligence to chat g p t has more new daily users than any other app. the can be used to complete homework, explain complicated text, and even write poetry. but no one really thinks about what it costs to run, or how much energy use is. experts estimate that the computing power of an inquiry, for example, what is artificial intelligence costs is around $0.02 and that all adds up training

. the chat box required some 936 megawatt hours of energy that's equal to about $100000.00. an average households in europe and he was on a daily basis. the energy consumption of online service is, continues to grow. worldwide some 5000000000 people use smartphones, tablets, laptops, and pc. this to go online. these internet users spend almost 7 hours a day there. 80 percent of the internet's energy use goes for streaming music and films. depends. that's bad for the environment. 3 gigabytes of data are needed to watch an hours worth of video in h d quality. with germany's current energy mix. that's 3.2 kilograms of c. o 2 equals to driving your car. 20 kilometers. if the internet were a country,

it would have the 6th largest energy use and released 2.8 percent of the world c o . 2 emissions after china, the us, india, russia, and japan. and the prognosis for the next 10 years is that the internet energy needs will grow by 60 percent. partly due to apps, like check g, p t to russia's war, and ukraine was an inflection point for europe. and it's energy policy. gas build surged as did europe's awareness of its energy dependence on russia. many spoke of a crisis, others were quick to point out a big opportunity. the push to move away from oil, coal, and gas, faster than expected, the worn ukraine as a catalyst for the green energy transition. that was the idea. but this a plan of work we investigated for years. europe has been hooked on the russian

fossil fuels. in 2021, you got 40 percent of its total gas from russia. wasn't half of russia's always exports, went to europe at a steady supply of cold meat from russian mines to europe and power plants. both together, your boat about $100000000000.00 of fossil fuels from russia, the year before, the invasion. that left its prosperity dependent on a war monger. in this school, we were always taught not to put to pull the x in one basket. this has got to be the executive director of the i, a and organization led by the energy ministers of rich countries. so you put the old eggs, one basket and basket. that was it destroyed. and x that broke within a week of the invasion, his team had put together a 10 point plan to we in europe, off the russians guest. that included actions like buying gas from other countries,

keeping nuclear plants from closing and building most solar panels and wind turbines. their photos are contained another dutch here option. spending more cold and oil. altogether. these policies permits to hump, the demand for russian gas by the end of 2022 at that time. and i talked with a government leaders in europe, they found that too radical. but despite some reservations, you took most of the suggestions on board. the 1st thing europe did was to replace russian fossil fuels with other fossil fuels to you pipe, smoke gas and promote jerry are in no way it boat shipments of liquefied natural gas o n g from the us and canada. and it went back to one few, it had swamped equipped coal has no future. that was that you've talked climate. 10 boy at the summit in 2021. the rich countries reliance on the gas electric poor ones on the importance of phasing out cope with pollutant costing gas supplies to

europe. and by october 2022 having stopped the moments to tie lead countries began to to an old cold tal. it's back on germany pushed ahead with preexisting plans to raise a village for coal mine. but the problem was russia wasn't the only reason. europe was facing an energy crisis. europe isn't the growth of its most extreme drought in decades with during drought to dry it up, rivets in europe. so hydropower dams generated less electricity. and you clips the most important source of electricity in france. but it's fleet had been played by maintenance problems to make much of the west. germany and belgium was shocking. the nuclear plants down there, belgium agreed to a 10 year extension in germany a few months. but altogether, europe's climate goals mean it would have to move away from coal quickly. and in theory quite a completely by 2030. instead you've been 7 percent more coal in 2022. then in 2021. or that was the 1st big surprise of europe's energy crisis.

culls come back, turned out to be way smaller than predicted in the final quarter of that. yeah. the 26 co tons brought back to the emergency standby. when you run an 18 percent capacity, 9 of the one use the tool. so while you're defined a bit more cold, it was wind and solar debt. so the biggest varies in 2022. they were what made up for most of the shortfalls not cope. so that is the king of power markets around divert and replacing the old king, which we suppress cold europe didn't just turn to the fossil fuels to replace russian gas. it was like sped up, it switched to clean energy in 2022. the laid down most solar panel put up more wind turbines, built more batteries and installed more heat pumps than ever before. the european commission raised its renewable energy target, the 2013 from 40 percent to 45 percent. and it made it easier to build the

infrastructure needed to get there. so you repeatedly that seemed reluctant to pull what obviously using less energy, the average european building a few to $22.00 degrees celsius. well above what's needed for comfort. the i use action time should tiny the my steps down one degree celsius kind of top gas demand by 10000000 cubic meters. but only a few governments really invested in public awareness campaigns to make this shift happen. our didn't get it was it. this is a bigger room in a you'd have to push the a got saving and i just have a much harder. we did a good job, but if you've done it a indeed we do an excellent job. no 2 things happened to the 1st. it's at high gas prices and a sense of southern guarantee with ukraine. many,

many people hated less. anyways. some countries like germany, lower the temperature and public building found soft citizens, tasty times, and officers to name. well, the 19 degrees celsius, though it didn't really enforce it, but the biggest help, unexpectedly came from the climate. the winter of 2022 with your 2nd woman's gone. recollect that many people needed to keep the homes less on top of that industry, scaled back production and he's 25 percent less gaps. total demand in the, you know, 50000000000 cubic meters in 2022. it's steepest drop in history from september, electricity demand was unusually low. the, the cubic demise winter. and i, when i talked with the governments i on the line, this is the luck beat because for the next winter, v should don't count on the luck. and the mart event to again,

so how serious is your screen transition? well, it could have settled on walter ditch russian oil foster price cab on russian oil entered effect today, drawing the arrow of moscow and adding another kink to global on martin's sanctions . and he started in december 2022. so over the year the, you imported just 16 percent less than it did the year before. lots of countries even subsidized fuel to drive us, instead of making it easier for people to ditch cause they'll buy electric one. the 2nd big worry of how big it best on the island. the countries like germany, which didn't have any way of receiving shipments approve the way more time. it was the next but saves needed to secure the gas supplies or the huff of europe's planned. ellen g infrastructure will be needed by 2030. either the rest will become stranded assets of the continent runs down its fossil fuel consumption, or europe will use more gas than it should. on top of that, some of the deals, european governments have made to buy and gas from countries like a tough, have locked them into 15 year contracts. which makes you wonder if they really

learn less than from that river reliance on russia. and the invest sits those don b, b a in jump for the governments in europe, including germany, to the side of critics in terms of their energy policies. because it was a subject mistake in my view, which it in patricia is not on the for n g a, but also for uh, 40 and 40 c. and to be put together putin's invasion of ukraine delta mixed low to the ease energy system. on the one hand, push the e. u to buy more co build infrastructure people got pushed it away from its climate target. even if it was lecturing on the countries on the dangers of fossil fuels. but it also shopped the content into cutting its dependence on the russian fossil fuels. and that's go ahead and given a short time base to renewables. it's also led to structural changes that move fast

forward it's green transition effect. spencer, right, the coal search will be short lived, but the piece to clean energy. let me just get bigger. besides clean energy, our environment also needs clean ocean's rivers and lakes. but those are drowning in plastic and has infiltrated our environment on the beach. for example, some of the sun we feel beneath our feet, it's actually just plastic particles, hundreds, sometimes even thousands of years have to go by before those particles decompose, meaning waste keeps piling up. now in indonesia to start up on some change that it's making, reusing plastic easier. the west side of that. 10 of us repos up consumer products to store it without having to charge it in simple you know, these products that you need every day and then customers kind of either on there what that for on our app. my name is yanna on the phone or of course i just have to

have a tech $3000.00 in the park in one second. let me just see we can, we can, we can get it started. so we tried a stationary model but quite inconvenient to go somewhere and then you have a very small catchment area. and then we have this push current model where basically it's kind of like an ice cream chart is like a young, you know, use and so on 5. and the issue was that was people really likes it, but then because we ran out of product. and so that's when we basically decided, hey, let's do this postcard 2 point oh, as a model by which can cover larger area, it's much easier for the driver. it's so much more advanced in terms of tech. it's much easier to, to start up here. one us because there's a lot of investment now we've got incorporated and you know, re re re sandra funding and there's a great infrastructure. and also there's a little bit less um like locked regulations out of it. less strict.

advert crating. now that helps me compliment that because there's so many things i don't understand there are times when hardly any one way or that. right? so we like so close to dying. and business model as me seem to be working on it or it doesn't really look like, like we're really getting anywhere near to product market fits. you know, you may have some really bad decisions. and now you know you're suffering a consequence for me. and one thing is just like staying positive after the fixed price that i summarize in the back end. yeah. okay, great. let's try again or when i'm suffering or i just, i forget about everything else. i feel so happy and it also helps me stay a little bit ground to someone's who gets a little bit out of touch with like the real indonesia,

indonesia onto the 2nd side of the ocean plastic built into wide. and so i really would say that here is that most the, the, the, the most impactful place to do this only 45 percent of race ever gets collected in indonesia. you really see like rivers for i think you can see the water anymore, right? it's just the trash. and previously we have pause and knocked her card on areas where we're supposed to sound how so. so i'm stuck and no was just trash. like there was no water. and you know, you'd also have a 10 2nd. oh, you know. what about flooding 6? 0 yeah. floods last year wasn't so bad. it was only to like here and you're like. so if the water is to to here, how can you even now you can enter your house to get rid of the last here we save. 1.8000000 plastic packages from being produced,

no faster. and currently like his destiny drop in the ocean. and if we did serve, you know, 1000000 indonesians, right, which is 5000000 households. and we actually need them, you know, reduce it if it wouldn't make a difference. and it wouldn't be significant. okay. like the potential, right? like, if we crack this like it would be huge. the stay focused and staying in there when you are like 111, the doctor, the other like nothing is working. and i, i think that's, that's really hard but that, that's just the, the, the founder slide is an interview with you. i'm not going. he said, oh, what's it like being a founder and he said, it's like chewing glass and staring into the bed. the

friends is feeling the wind of change. the country has too few electricity sources, especially environmentally friendly ones. it currently only generates a quarter of its electricity from renewables, particularly when it comes to wind energy production. the rest of europe is breezing past friends, but that's set to change french president emanuel, and my call is investing in winning the parks floating once in particular. may not have been bent, that's 60 bucks. a recent press trip to this construction site displayed what could be one solution to future energy crises floating of show wind energy. the company's developing this part of the project are investing 300000000 euros. in 2023, the wind farm will be towed to a site 70 kilo because of the coast limits its powers limited equal to just a 40 is of a nuclear reactors capacity. that's floating also wind energy is

a barrier of hype. unlike existing, when you book it could produce electricity. 247, then they will. yeah. on there. for this traditional offshore wind farms can only be constructed in which is up to 50 meters deep. placing platforms can be installed further away from the coast where the window stronger what these when funds could be key to reaching top. and you're trying to back up what francis taking bids to construct 3 commercial flights and also wind farms. and the 10 times the size of the pilot project, this economist agrees floating of the wind energy is promising. yet questions and challenges abound. when this up in the front should try to take the lead in this market. it's lagging behind in terms of boston, fixed offshore, wind funds, also due to legal challenges. it's a question of not losing face office good and evil ones,

but it's not clear yet which technology will when the day. there are several technical solutions in the market. and i'll also stand as needed to construct the platforms finding that still might prove ultimate when the method of the fronds will have to compete with other countries such as portugal and scotlands, which are also i inflating or feel wind energy. in any case, the projects developers are determined to become unimportant, play a in the markets here or broad. so that's the whole, say, prickly yellow firms as well positioned. the bidding for commercial projects is underway. we're hoping to be awarded these industrial projects in the mediterranean sea and of impersonate hill newest fiance. but we're also looking at markets such as the us, china and taiwan. as the globally potential for this technology is estimated at $3500.00 gigawatts, which represents as many nuclear reactors. but that won't be any time soon. fronts

the source commercial flight and also wind farms won't produce electricity onto the at least 2030. that's it for this week for the addition of major. i'm other xena. thanks for watching and see you soon. the
