the, the, it is some of the current key, more people than in such a passion, life crisis within pod from the company. that's the best the best and find out adult bailey story. info, migraines, reliable news for migrant wherever they may be, the lowering carbon emissions. now that's the goal in just about every part of the economy. be of transportation,

energy for homes or even construction. the goal is to be climate neutral. we'll be looking at that on this edition of made the w's business magazine. and here are the other topics. energy transition was germany wrong to phase out nuclear power. transportation, 100 based start up launches electric, cargo bikes, and ships semi conduct is made in germany to bonded to invalid. welcome to the show. the concrete is a climate killer. the cement and concrete industry accounts for about 8 percent of the welds carbon pollution. it is something the world's biggest cement producer, wholesome wants to change, much like manufacturers and other sectors. it is with building entire factories to produce green, cement. christian for sale is visited a production site to see how wholesome plans to make that happen. strong cory, on the north gym and coast, europe's largest book. it will excavators,

hard work. it can extract a 1000 tons of chill per hour. the material is used to make cement for the wells market. lita pulse in the industry is facing major changes a considerable proportion of clement damaging c o. 2 emissions comes from cement production. it also has a direct impact on the environment. many simon factories in developing countries are locally outdated, including places where holston operates. many countries in africa and asia do not have the strictest environmental stand. so that trying out something new here, an environment to be friendly, some and production process with no c o 2 emissions is not even possible. the cement works is located right next to the tool, corey. it's one of a 100 plants operated by wholesome,

around the world. the camera crews are rarely allowed on site the king to show us the changes that planning the mind. the choke is processed into segment in this road to retail at around 1500 degrees celsius, which generates a lot of c o. 2 to verify some and production accounts for about 6 or 7 percent of total global c o 2 emissions a significant proportion. that's why we want to be among the 1st to steer things in a different direction. that's antique in the bonds. the kilns discharge around $1200000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. this is the show and it's liquefied form, before it's dried to make production, carbon neutral, they need to build new facilities. all the colored

sections need to be rebuilt. that also be a killer that runs on sure oxygen and the harmful c o 2 will no longer be released into the instead it will be processed and then deliver to industrial clients by a pipelines behind me. you see our cement road, retail. that's the heart of our cement works. these i'm not at this plant. the fuel is burned using the surrounding air, but in the future, we'll switch to pure oxygen. that's something you learned in school. burning with pure oxygen gives you the optimal combustion. it's up to you model handle on the roof at the cooling to all of the shows is everything they need the common utah production the immediate task at hand will be building 2 more big factories the 1st cuz we

had it told us as facility it produces hydrogen which can be used to refuel hybrid vehicles. for example. the waste product is pure oxygen. this project will get all of its electricity from wind farms because they produce the most efficient carbon neutral option. the waste product, oxygen is fed into the cement factory throughout pipeline. the oxygen optimize is the combustion process steering cement production. the climate damaging c o 2 produced during combustion is no longer pumped out to be attending. instead, it's fed into a new refinery that uses the c o 2 to produce some other things by a method of an alternative fuel that can be used in cost. for example, the various stages of the new production cycle and rolling out the new infrastructure everywhere, costs billions in to see and we are investing in this side in the new types of

channels and the new oxy fuel combustion process. we're the pilot project really competes worth 500000000 euro since the one that we're getting funding from the u. something like 100000000 euro. so that only covers about 20 percent dependence with the existing science recovery can seems as much electricity as a small town with 80 percent already coming from renewable sources in a few years. it should be a 100 percent on the conversion if the facility is set for completion by 2029. they're already producing that 1st cement products involving clean power, including packaging. i'm with a slightly better cotton footprint than the other products. but most of the cement is still produced conventionally around $1300000.00 tons of it every year. it's still unclear how much more the 100 percent green cement, low cost for how long it will be before all of the company cement works auckland,

neutral. what is clear is that the supplies of shore care less for many decades to con. april 15, 2023. that date, mark the end of germany, 60 years old nuclear power history. and it's a prize, the many berlin decided to go ahead with its plans to phase out and nuclear energy, despite having had to fire up old coal plants to secure energy and the last year. well, other countries of building nuclear power plants, germany is shutting them. was it a huge mistake? on the 15th of april 2023 marks the end of the, of a 6 year old arrow of nuclear power in germany. while the world is still reeling from an energy crisis, germany decided to take its 3 remaining nuclear power plants off the grid and get out of nuclear energy for good. so many of you things that the country is making

a huge mistake and you're not alone. meanwhile, many of the powerhouse nations are building new nuclear power plants, even japan. another milestone in the commercialization of china comb, grow, and nuclear technology president emmanuel, my cool, announced a plan to build up to 14 new nuclear power plants. nuclear power is the only carbon 3 energy source we have that can deliver large amounts of power, day and night. and even environmental as to a traditionally anti nuclear, criticize germany's exit. i feel that it's a mistake to close them down in order to focus on co. so was germany wrong to ditch nuclear power? the germans have always had a very special relationship with nuclear power. the the says purchase to us me and local. but the movement spread quickly in the 7th

leading to month long citizens and riots in the following years. and then change the channel capacity for me. it's radio to full out, also reach germany, which kind of the cemented the anti nucleus sentiment in the public. that led to a unique landmark decision in 2002 germany decided to face out nuclear energy. at that point, 19 reactors which generating over a quote of germany's electricity. but they were shut down one by one and the 2011 nuclear accident and focusing on, sped things out in producing the kansas name of the states. the name will fission is easy can that can. and then next we so that has been the week of the catastrophe . all the phones were shut down. a few months later, the government decided to get out of nuclear power once in full, by the end of 2022 and focus on renewables to transition out of fossil fuels.

have a look at this job. this is how much renewable electricity was generated on a day in april 2022. first you have the constant energy coming from hydropower environments. offshore wind, on show wind, and the big play on this date solar. in 2022. on average, almost half of the electricity generated in germany came from renewables. and the government wants to wrap that up to 80 percent by 2030. but what about the other 20 percent and what do we do when the sun doesn't shine? and the wind doesn't blow the amount of electricity needed to compensate for that is called the residual load. and it fluctuate it's a lot during the day to fill the gap, we would either need huge batteries to store the energy and peak times, which we're still far from having on the large enough scale. all we need to apply and so we can shut on and off. very flexible. right now. a lot of this flexible,

adjusting and gemini is done by gas plants, which can be turned on and off completely within just 30 minutes. but they of course, also and with considerable emissions, to cut those, we need to have a low carbon energy source, hydro and biomass a currently not flexible enough for that in germany. so could nuclear power filled that gap on the call benefit point of view? the bit would be to shut down and if that offends when there's a lot. so this is much. yes, mia keys of research are looking into the economics of nuclear power. but this is just not the way it works out. now it's just not suitable to shut down and shut off when you do that the days of hours. and when i say a lot of hours, i mean that therapy for a few hours like a day or 2. and that can cause problems in areas where there was a lot of wind and solar coupled with nuclear energy like windy northern germany,

when nuclear power plants operated and wind turbines regularly had to be turned off, meaning clean and cheap energy went to waste. so if germany does install a lot more fluctuating, how to predict renewable energy in the future using nuclear power instead of gas to flexibly meet the electricity demand could be hauled. but the thing is, germany just isn't there yet. a said, if it's electricity still comes from doty cold, and that's when you click energy could be useful to replace coal until renewable energy is ramp up. enough. batteries are developed enough, and transmission grids are built widely enough to even though the regional differences in wind and solar generation. that's also the line of argument from the nuclear industry. so when you look at the carbon content of jim and the electricity is quite high in comparison to many other countries, west and europe, this is jonathan called and spoke specified for the well nuclear associations. the meet the prompts that it, it did have, could have operated for a lot longer,

very cost effectively some provided time where all the accomplish those this could have been developed. cost is a content this topic, critics of nuclear question, whether the price of decommissioning plants and storing nuclear waste is calculated appropriately. and there is some discussion on whether keeping nuclear power plants running flows, the growth of renewables. but that's how to pin down since every power system has its own different conditions and constraints. but on the point of emissions, there is agreement. the international energy agency sees nuclear power as necessary to low emissions as fast as possible. and the i p. c. c also effect is in the growth and nuclear power in most of it's $1.00 degree scenarios. this is, i mean it's, it's a problem, sol. so was phasing out nuclear, the right moves? well, it's seen so when the danger of nuclear power was very present in people's minds. but now the climate change is finally being seen as

a crisis. things have changed. international organizations like the ip c, c and the i a think that nuclear power has a role to play in lowering emissions. large scale nuclear power is likely not a long term solution for germany. when or rather, the east germany ramped up renewables to a 100 percent and if energy could be stored efficiently. and if we have the perfect electricity grid, there will be no need for nuclear power in germany. but that's just not the reality yet. right now, every ton of emission avoided counts. and that's why germany may have made a mistake in exiting nuclear. faster than other technologies were able to catch up . the energy transition won't work unless alternative to older technologies get traction. that can mean replacing an old delivery van, but as new or cleaner cargo bike start up in hamburg is making electric cargo trailers for bicycles up to

a 150 kilograms can be transported in an environmentally friendly way. and while that might not sold the logistic industries carbon emission problem, it's a step in the right direction. and that's what our show today is all about looking at what is making a difference, dw, if one of the tub went to hamburg to find out more made an alpha, my name is spar hot and kind of cool. i'm a co founder and managing director of new via the based in hamburg, germany, and we provide a sustainable transport solution for the urban environment job. the . the idea was that the empowered people living in an environment to move a lot of weight with dollars using their cars. the baby came about the following. this is by this, by secretariat, electric lease,

howard bicycles. the electric power bank, trailer sensors out the front of the vehicle is moving to move petty i is. i'm going to close it by hand. we've got, or it's connected to a bicycle, but it's either standard headboard electronic mon, hey, you electrically powered head and then the toilet is ready to go. see this is the search and development workshop, valasics enabled mechanics. you can yeah, yeah. but at the 1st section is for mechanical issues, and we have your tools and machines for a central mechanical operation. i'm to up and toyota k of some assemblies with him one quick test, we test subassemblies for trace loose. i can validate some folks sample job, but i'd be, for example, if you were testing the brakes with the simulating loads of interest, see if there's any failure sites and skip bought. it was me configured at the beginning at the, the,

both the night i came here driven it to study. we're both people of color was big german, but we're, we're not race and grew up in germany. we take it rather as an advantage because on this give us a possibility to be role models for either for and students to come to drum and just study and to realize that they can pursue all the career opportunities. so not only work in the company, but also create their own company and culture. diversity for us is extremely important. typically, this is a pop part of our culture. news that has so to, to me, please come to different countries. and we do believe that the diverse, whatever is for all the strongly we applicants, we have the input from employees coming from many different countries from the u. s . from sweden, from germany, from pakistan, from india, from denmark, from hungry and so on, to work together on the vision,

to how for to change the cities and make the more green, sustainable, and efficient the tomatoes to verify and start logistics companies. for the time being. i q we work with that get in germany and 2 p. s. at the same time, we're in operation all over europe. is autoplay dot product good. and how about our biggest buyers, belgium post, which uses the trailers for post and partial delivery service. good possibly can to liberty, can you use the i 1st came to germany in 2008 to do some of the boxes. i was selected in it as smith, columbus space must program. many of them remained se excited, sir. easy. i studied for one year in germany and then completed the rest of my studies in sweden and france before heading back to pakistan on many want that as a me sector. i worked there in the small and medium sized enterprises sector in

germany. again in proof and then returned to germany again back in 2015, i was ready to attend. after i came back to germany, it was clear that i had to do something different. i wanted to start my own business, or i wanted to start something on my own. the i used to tell him care to. okay. i'm good even for any people just by you said, tell him it's okay even if you fail, you have nothing to lose. i'm cutting people since i was already working in germany, taking a risk as a family founding a stone. so it was significantly easier to manage our support to him in a way that even if we failed off to try and for 2 years, as many startups failed, we would still take dr. system accessing to home school payment except assessment should okay, go to your specificities, all the adults are stressful to be the any is at the start with challenging and

stressful for the family and challenges you with for how the stress due to work and, and technical challenges to them that things became most streamlined because time of booking, you know, he has more time for his family. i would say the to me can the, even germany entrepreneurship is relatively easy and you can get help from institutions that have been around for a long time. and a lot of funding is available to get your start up up and running to uh, to get us started up and running. another positive aspect of doing business in germany is that the universities are also very supportive here. it's a significant advantage. if you're creating tech started up, you can always go to university, then get linked up there and take a lot of resources. you come up with a good idea of it. just images marker table, which is sellable,

which has the potential to be beneficial for someone and then you to start working on that. so i would only suggest to, to actually go ahead and start doing your own thing. good. the technology is key in the energy transition and for vehicles, smartphones, laptops, and other gadgets, microchips are essential. but there aren't enough to go around to meet the booming demand, even while factories go up in different parts of the world. countries are in a race to your tip makers of subsidies. a reporter alexa maya visited the company in dresden to see how germany is doing. micro chips are going to play a key role. interest in the future. global foundries is a us company that's been producing high tech micro chip since 2009 in the eastern german region known as silicon saxon inc. and is not the only

one these types of historically dressed and was the center of semi conductor production in east germany with, with companies such as the m d and ro, betron. and so that was already and existing environment and workforce for the industry global foundries. interesting employees, skilled workers of all ages from the region, as well as people from 45 different countries, such as these engineers from india and indonesia, the blender people wanting see, has been working in development here for several years. i'm surrounded by so many groups mine so it's i feel like i need to learn lots every day and, and there's something that i would both do me is working other other places

up to 20000 semi conductor chips fit on the silicon wafer as well as the factory and drug and the company also has production sites and the single port and the usa, and it's feeling the pressure of the global raise to acquire skilled workers and semi conductor subsidies. one factory alone costs up to 5000000000 euros almost such as long as the semi conductor industry is very much in the political spotlight right now. we need to put lots of countries are competing for control of the chip sector, learning plenty of countries. some of them is economies depend on microchips going up pouring funding and subsidies into that industry in europe. can even come close to matching those incentives right now. and the dean who is on the type of

global foundries infinity on and boss, have still chosen this location in the european ships, act will allocate 43000000000 euros to jumpstart production, attracting more companies as an industry producing cement, plus the congress stacked on it's a policy that strengthens the semi conductor industry and so it's a european response to the subsidy race that makes us more competitive with other parts of the world. at the end of the forget to myself, the company in optic is planning to start producing sensors for semi conductor equipment here soon. and infinity on is planning to open. another chip factory. taiwan is market leader, t s m. c has put plans on hold to build another plant in drugs. and for now, many companies including basics, assembly conductor design company, recruit international graduates from the technical university of drugs. and they are optimistic that the region will become a leading hub for the chip industry. you have the global families design companies, you have this new startups that are designing this technology organic, uh,

some conductors and other stuff. so the opportunities you can find with a set of construction, these are very broad. and they go according to anything, a, to all of the topics that are being taught and detailed. this is. and if you get a call from, let's say it is a 200 there. what would you say? i would still stay here that i really like present it to my city. and as i say that for co, well, the work culture here is very healthy. the region helps the even more young international professionals will come to appreciate the city and choose to stay helping to advance the contacts needs position in the highly competitive global, semi conductor industry. silicon saxony with tips made in germany. and that brings us to the end of today's edition of made.
