and now she's eagerly awaiting the next round of those things, as the face of her mother could depend on the wind focus on europe. in 60 minutes on d. w. what secrets lie behind being discovered new adventures in 360 degrees and explore fascinating world heritage sites p w world heritage 360 yeah. now the lower ring carbon emissions. now that's the goal in just about every part of the economy. be a transportation energy for homes or even construction. the goal is to be climate

and 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 startup launches electric, cargo bikes, and ships they may 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 and tie a factor we used to produce glean cement, christian for sale is visited a production site to see how wholesome plans to make that happen. but this short cory on the north gym and coast, europe's largest book it will excavate to resolve it. look, 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 challenges. a considerable proportion of climate damaging c o. 2 emissions comes from cement production. it also has a direct impact on the environment. many, some in factories in developing countries are mostly outdated, including places where wholesome operates. many countries in africa and asia do not have the strictest environmental standards. so that trying out something new here and environmentally friendly, some and production process with no c o 2 emissions is not even possible. 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 to choke is processed into segment in this road to retail at around 1500 degrees celsius. this generates a lot of c o 2 i'm to evade by some and production accounts for about 6 or 7 percent of total global c o 2 emissions a significant proportion. so that's why we want to be on the 1st to steer, things in a different direction. might just be a mess. and deacon under the bond killings discharge around $1200000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. this is the show can it's liquified form before it's dried to make production, carbon neutral, they need to build new facilities of

a colored sections need to be rebuilt. me that would also be a kill and that runs on kill oxygen. and the harmful c o 2 will no longer be released into the and 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 of up to months. if i know up on the roof at the cooling tower, he shows us everything they need for carbon neutral production. the immediate task at hand will be building 2 mole big factories the 1st cuz we had

a troll assist 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 this and manufactory throughout pipeline. the oxygen optimize is the combustion process giving cement production. the climate damaging c o 2 produced during combustion is no longer pumped out through the chimney. 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. but rolling out the new infrastructure everywhere with cost billions,

the industry and we are investing in this side in the new types of cancer and the new oxy fuel combustion process. we're the pilot project, really from it's worth 500000000 euro funding. we're getting funding from the u. something like 100000000 euros. so that only covers about 20 percent dependence. the existing factory currently consumes 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 of 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 commer footprint done via the 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, or how long it will be before all of the companies to macbooks auckland,

neutral. what is clear is that the supplies of short 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 in the last year. well, other countries of building nuclear power plants, germany shutting them. was it a huge mistake? or 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, michael announced a plan to build up to 14 new nuclear power plants. nuclear power is the only carpentry 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 brutus 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 came the general bill capacity. it's radio to full out, also reach germany, which part of the cemented the anti nuclear sentiment and the public that led to a unique landmark decision in 2002 germany decided to phase 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 accidents and frequency mon sped things out in the kansas name of the states. the name was fish and it is easy can that can and then the 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 chart. 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 onto a 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 in peak times, which we're still far from having on a 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 it may have considerable emissions to cut those, so we need to have a low carbon energy source, hydro and biomass, 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 our so i, when i say a lot of hours, i mean that therapy 40 hours like a day or 2. and that can cause problems in areas where there is a lot of wind and solar coupled with nuclear energy like windy northern germany,

when nuclear power plants operated and wind turbines regularly have 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 3rd of its 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 germany, 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 to 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 slows 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. so, so was phasing out nuclear, the right move? well, it seemed 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 foster. then also technologies were able to catch up see 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 logistics 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, when to hubbard, to find out more better now. so my name is far how and kind of go from. 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 out. the . the idea was that the empower 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 significant electric lease,

powered by 6 of the electric power divide trailer census how the front of the vehicle is moving is to move petty either. so i'm going to close it by hand. we've got, or it's connected to a bicycle, but it's either standard headboard electron ottoman, hey, you electrically powered head and then the trailer is ready to go. see this is the search and development workshop, valasics enable mechanics. you can yeah, yeah, but the 1st section is for mechanical issues and we have your tools and machines for a central mechanical operation um to up and try to get 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 boss was making sure you got the hanging out the, the both the night i came here

to driving it to study, we're both people of color. we speak german, but we're, we're not race and grew up in germany. we take a try either as an advantage, because on this give us a possibility to be role models for either for and students who 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 for to different countries. and we do believe that the diverse, whatever is for all the stronger we applicants, we have this input from them. please come 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 switches and make them more

green and sustainable, and efficient a tomatoes to verify, answer a logistics company just for the time being i q, we work with that guy here in germany and tube. yes. he thought at the same time we're in operation all over europe. autoplay. correct? 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. estimate columbus space. must program many, assemblyman se excited sir? easy. i studied for one year in germany and then completed the rest of my studies in sweden, in france, before heading back to pakistan on mental want that as a me checked and 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 kids. okay, i'm good. even fairfield, i used to tell him it's okay even if he failed, you have nothing to lose. i'm cutting people since i was already working in germany, taking a risk as a family founding a startup 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 specifications on the adult successfully. the any is at the start with

challenging and stressful for the family challenges you with for how the lot of stress to, to work 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 to start up up and running to uh, to get us started up and drive. 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. the you come up with a good idea of it, just if it is marketable, which is sellable, which has the potential to be beneficial for someone. and then you just start

working on that. so i would only suggest to, to actually go ahead and start doing your 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 a 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 disease which i think historically, tristan was the center of semi conductor production in east germany with companies such as a z m d and ro, betron. and so that was already and existing environment and workforce for the industry. global foundries in drugs been employed 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 race to acquire skilled workers and semi conductor subsidies. one factory alone costs up to 5000000 euro almost such as long as the semi conductor industry is very much in the political spot. like right now, we need to put lots of countries are competing for control of the chip sector. learning plenty of countries, some of them as economies depend on micro chip pouring funding and subsidies into that industry. and europe can even come close to matching those incentives. right now. the dean who gets into it so when it's on the type of global foundries,

infinity on and boss have still chosen this location. and the european ships act will allocate 43000000000 euros to jumpstart production. attracting more companies in the 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 and uptick 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 fine with selling concessions are very broad. and they go according to anything, a, to all of the topics that are being taught in detailed message. and if you get a call from, let's say it is a to work there. what would you say? i would still stay here that i really like lessons. it's a my city and as i stated for quote, the work culture here is very healthy. the region hopes that even more young international professionals will come to appreciate the city and choose to stay, helping to advance telecom. zack's needs position in the highly competitive global semiconductor industry. silicon saxony with tips made in germany. and that brings us to the end of today's edition of made.
