but this time, a research team will study the possible risk 1st. in order to minimize them, we have an opportunity to get it right before we have some stuff, environmental activist, or skeptical. after a whole, there are billions to be made. our to push documentary deep sea greed starts to think on d. w. the decides against climate change is a complicated one. everyone agrees we need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, but figuring out how to do so open for folks he says to face, take electric cars, they're a key part of the green or future. but they're bob freeze,
4:31 am
require miss them to be minds itself a controversial practice more on us in a moment. but 1st a look at what else we have coming up. the power on pitfalls of using biofuel as an energy source. a whole new perspective why investors are best and big on documented reality and high one in the nation. entrepreneur used to stay here to power or come back. i'm k, ferguson. welcome to maids. the transport industry causes almost a 5th of the world, c, o. 2 emissions 2nd only to the energy sector. no wonder then that interest in electric mobility is growing so fast. but here's the catch electric car batteries run on lithium on right now. the world doesn't have enough of it to me is ever increasing demands. that scarcity has led to a dramatic rise and lithium prices, as well as a growing interest in new mining projects. and our next report will take you to the
4:32 am
us state of nevada, where indigenous people are fighting back against plans to transform their homeland into unless the mind this is silver peak in nevada. home to the only major operation release you mine into us, owned and operated by album out a specialty chemical company and global lithium producer. silver peak is a so called brian minor, lithium is drawn and extracted from brian that is in the ground water. the ground water is pumped into a network of 22 pon. spinning 21 square miles hot nevada sun evaporates the water and other liquids over the course of 18 to 24 months left over lift young boy white goals as they call it right now, we're really focused on doubling our production. so, you know, we want to get up to, you know,
4:33 am
between operative of $8000.00 metric times an annual production, $8000.00 metric tons per year. soon. sounds like a lot. it is not welcome to the 2nd pass, just about 50 miles from nevada. now they're in border with oregon sector pass is supposed to be the future side of a mess. opened. pick mine and process facility spending at least $8000.00 acres for $7300.00. take, take a passage believe to hold the largest lithium deposit in the united states, and to be one of the largest in the world. not only do we need this project for national security purposes, but we need it for the environment. so we're, we're committed to doing it right. we're committed to working with all the parties, lithium america. the company that wants to mind. second pass is invested millions in the project. it has the backing of the federal bureau of land management or
4:34 am
b l. m. and it's in possession of all necessary state permits to begin mining for lithium. moving forward with preparing for construction, preparing is for us on, on board. our work force is going to take about a 1000 people to build this project is a big, big but just take a pass or p model in the language of the digital by you is not only the traditional homeland, but it's also sacred ground for the indigenous nations of the where she show the by you and to show me that creates a bit of a problem for lithium america. and for the bureau of land management. one of the tax proposals of mine project is the reno sparks indian mission. it is head of the tribes cultural research program. she guides us to a tribal historic preservation that habitat is going to be destroyed for electric
4:35 am
vehicles, evans stripe, and at least one other part of a lawsuit against the b l. m. that aims at stopping the project at pick a pass completely that the people know that mining does it also just bring jobs, but it also brings annihilation to homelands. and we'll, we'll annihilate, indigenous peoples way of life. let's you mind it's such a pass will have a direct impact on the fort mcdermott. shoshone, probably you tried that is just 35 miles away. the drive just signed a so called benefits agreement with lucy of america. the company will build several community buildings and pay for educational and job training measures. exchange. they do not and will not resist the project, despite having significant reservations and problems with it. i made of, i've always been considered sewage of, of, you know, of mother earth. you know that this is, this is borrowed, you know,
4:36 am
we're borrowing it for the time that we're here. and so there's a special connection to the land. we may not see it today or tomorrow, 510 years on the line. you know what, what suffix could let me, i don't want to push my elders and their beliefs and then the traditional part of it. then also don't want to ignore my younger generation. that says ok, we want to improve the, the, my lifestyle. we want to be able to take advantage of some of the benefits that are being offered. they're also non indigenous people who have concerns about a few mining aztec, a past due renter, ed bartel. he's also a party in the last we, i've enormous concerns about the, the water table. there's pretty extensive agitation here, navy vegetation that grows up chastise. so if the water drops this whole turn into barren desert heat seem america says their mind will draw even less smarter than what is currently allocated for farming and ranching in the past. the company also
4:37 am
claims to have refined to at least the mining extraction process using the latest available technology to guarantee minimal environmental impact. but from ex wilbert, a member of the deep green resistance environmental group, some brand as radical, the idea of mining is take, a pass is fundamentally wrong, no matter what the company is telling us that this is going to solve global warming blowing up the mountain and isn't green and blowing up a sacred site isn't right. there's nothing more to check a pass or pc. my hosted is where different world views collide. a court decision about the pending lawsuit against the mining project is expected to be issued
4:38 am
now, while the debate, lithium mining rages on in nevada, elsewhere the search for clean energy sources continues. one place you may not have thought of looking is in your organic, been boss is biofuel, as environmentally friendly as it's science. the coal risk has been investigating a banana peels, not shelves, and other left over food which can actually power the device. you're watching this on. it's called bio mass, energy and leftovers aren't the only source would plants even mon, newer can be used to generate electricity or heat or surrounded by bio mass which creates numerous opportunities. and unlike cool, the source of power can be re growth. companies and governments around the world are ramping up investments. but at the moment,
4:39 am
only around 4 percent of agricultural stays is used for bio mass energy crops. how much potential does bio mass energy offer? let's start with how our trash becomes treasure. organic material 1st has to be converted into energy. leftover food crump waste orman. newer it's collected from restaurants or homes and then put into a processing plant to sort out other materials like plastic. the next step, the bio reactor. it's where a bacteria eat up the waste in a so called di jester, which is sealed off from oxygen. this process is called anaerobic digestion. the organic waste is prevented over several weeks at a temperature of about $55.00 degrees celsius. bio gas is produced, containing large quantities of methane,
4:40 am
a powerful source for generating electricity, antique, once it's been fed into the gas created. and it can also be used to power natural gas vehicles. the less go for bio mass can then be used as compost for farming. for example, taking the whole process circular bio gas plants like this exist all over the one about $20000.00 in europe alone. estimates state bio messing, could cover up to 40 percent of the use gas demand. but the middle of the century, the us has just $2200.00 in thailand, malaysia and indonesia combined only have about the same bio gas plants produce only a quarter of the c o. 2 emissions the coal plants, emit bio mass. energy has one large advantage over solar and wind in that it's on demand. so you don't care if the wind's blowing sunshiny
4:41 am
all sounds good so far. but there is a catch biome method you can meet from these facilities and that has a bigger effect on global warming than c o. 2 bio gas facilities are also only sustainable as long as the waste is used, rather than specially growing crops. or what else can we use bio mass for fuel. ready to run cars trucks or even planes, an innovative flight last year, save 20 metric tons of c. o. 2 emissions jet fuel was mixed with the use cooking oil for the route from paris to montreal. another biofuel is bio f and all plans such as corn or sugarcane are fermented and distilled. bio s an all can replace 10 to 20 percent of the gasoline used to power a vehicle and then there's bio diesel. it's made by combining
4:42 am
animal fence or vegetable oils like rapes seed, or solely with alcohol. as with ethanol, the bio diesel has been added to normal diesel fuel biofuels are used at gas stations worldwide. but according to the international energy agency, they only account for 3 percent of transport, fuel demand. the problem with biofuels is that crops have to be specially grown, and that steel spanks from food crops, or even depletes forest and bio diversity. like west palm while trees and indonesia, sugarcane and brazil and rate seed in germany. ringback a study in germany found that using biofuels can help save 9200000 tons of the countries annual c o 2 emissions. but 16400000 tons could be stored if natural vegetation were allowed to
4:43 am
return on crump fields. instead. the simplest means of generating bio mass. energy is our most ancient way burning it like would leads or waste governments around the world are even using it as part of their carbon neutral strategies. and by bio mass, we mean good old trees, the as one times over the past decade, the demand for them as an energy source of scheduling risen. the west is the biggest ex porter with a market share of 62 percent. they're usually made from what resident was like some of the store would chips, usually, because the think tanks and engineers have gathered evidence that shows that natural forest inhabitants in eastern europe and north america are being destroyed to state the growing appetite form when talents through illegal logging the
4:44 am
policy makers in the u. s. e u and u. k. have classified woody bio mass as of renewables, allowing governments to subsidize the production and burning of wood pallets. many countries don't have to report emissions from wood fired power plants because trees are seen as a renewable resource. producers are just required to reforest areas, so that the c o 2 released while burning pellets is reabsorbed. so in the united states, depending on what state you're in, you plan to the for treats for everyone. you cut down the plant to, to, for a new one existing a little tiny, tiny researches like kelly suggest that the immediate impact of substituting would for coal is an increase in atmospheric c o. 2. a studies found that depending on
4:45 am
the type of forest it could take up to 10 years until nearly planted trees absorb the same amount of carbon sock done by the ones that were cut down folder trees, store more carbon. so there are certain for us and that are even more critical to that excitement changed than others. unfortunately, these are some of the for us being loud down for bio mass energy. one study suggests that replanted forest with fast growing tree species absorbs less c o 2. the natural forest carpet neutrality cannot be achieved by burning wouldn't big power plants like this one and the u. k. trees are spending money. they should be spending on true renewables like wind in solar, on this energy stores. uh, that's not going to get us where we need to be as a planet. most forms of bio mass looked at 1st glance to be better than they are
4:46 am
for burning wood to replace coal is not a solution because even if the wood comes from sustainable forestry or is would waste it's still produces emissions would waste can however be digested by bacteria at a bio gas facility and organic products like that for non appealing power and your phone can help manage waste cycles. that does make sense, but today, bio mass energy covers only a small part of our won't line demand. it can work in combination with other renewables, but it's not scalable to be our main energy source, not even in the future. imagine exploring a shipwreck or viewing an apartment. oh, without leaving the comfort of your home. well, according to some tech enthusiast, all it takes is the right pair of glasses. the global market for augmented and virtual reality is on a major path towards growth. in 2021,
4:47 am
it was worth just under 26000000000 euros. a number that's expected to rise almost 10 fold in the next 5 years tech. so it's like mass um microsoft and alphabet are all in on the game. but smaller star shops like big full in southern germany, are also hoping to revolutionize the way we see the real world meets the virtual world. the promise of adventure, reality, logical evolution of the internet. it's a huge future market and the bottle dry and for digital giants, one job and starts up stunts confidently. i'm at the freight. we're going to be big calls rule in southern germany. a young start up with lots of money, from 3 funders with big plans. it's important to, to so called hollow decks, they connect to colleagues in
4:48 am
a virtual room. it's clear that the green parts that change has in for red trackers up there and can recognize the glasses in the room. and when i move the software, it corrects the picture of it. it creates the illusion that the other person is right there with me in the same room. it works because the glasses send a signal to the eye that mirrors what's on the screen above. i think we have to try filming through the glasses. ok, but it's not easy. and the 3 d effect gets lost in the virtual meeting. but the people feel like they're sitting across from each other. you know these days when i'm turning my head towards the end to talk to him without me having to say, hey boss, i'm talking to now. and i was naturally by paying attention and reading body language. this is, this is the system we 1st developed in the garage cost to try out different applications. that's why we could build it so cheaply. good. but now we have the
4:49 am
funding and we can shrink everything and shrink tyler, those dots, res and sensors that locate someone in the room. in short, everything you might find in a smartphone and more parked into a period of lightweight glasses that fit everyone. but how this comes from a lot of things are involved display, there's the display there, and then we have the whole human factor, which on various measurements, the brightness is a big issue. because we're looking through the glass and fighting and being polite and came from getting i think all mentioned reality is one of the most complicated things you can build right now. and con, i haven't put a rocket in space yet, but i bet it's easier houses. i boss will make glasses that everyone will want. the big digital players are investing billions in the bustle for the markets. the future. i need to play as an sunday on players have been at it for a long time like microsoft and logic. leap is may not meant to be onto glasses for business applications. and the big hope is upload mentally onto glasses. and so far
4:50 am
they've always been somebody for next year cuz i want to name the other companies like and real to that have already brought the test consumer ready glasses onto the market off market for some kind of a our glasses replace smartphones in the long run and so with the change of perspective, you can see more content is the same time, which is by the blessing and a curse, just like we today, smartphones. i'm showing everything i want to save the time, some things that don't interest me, and i'm not going to be in and even think of an issue with these processing. they're not too worried about the international competition and calls route, which is only offered a limited field of vision from entity boils down to a technical problem. both then and now they thought they had the problem solved a few times. they threw a lot of money added and they realized afterwards that they still couldn't get the fields and vision on the form factors that you'll need so that you don't look stupid wearing it, and you get this immersive feeling. we're doing something completely new. what
4:51 am
we're doing, i'm not going to say will the technology worked? the german ministry of education and research thinks it will. they are allocating 26000000 euros to support what they call an individual leap. although it's time for a functioning prototype, this tool can help doesn't come. i don't own that. it's a camera down to record data and compute and avatar for us. it generates an image of the user as they really are for the other people they're communicating with. it's going to be on for the ongoing, we're working on getting everything into these little glass on this into the. i mean that's what all of the setup is for here, doc. feel to make it all disappear afterwards. tag nocka associated with the i t specialist and engineers who work full time for gigs. so for old men, for the founders hoping that will change soon. the glasses will be launched in 2 to 3 years under expect it to conquer,
4:52 am
nothing less than the world i. k. r is expensive. you either do it big or you shouldn't do it at all. small a are doesn't work. so yes, we're going to be a big player. now, if you've ever dreamed of stars in your own business, you'll certainly be interested in our next story from indonesia. right after graduating from university, whom i hop sorry, began selling shoes online. business was going well for a while until a tough transition in her personal life caused her fortunes to change. but that didn't stop him from getting right back on her face. when i said, i feel like them to step up and say the truth, the
4:53 am
officer i read you, it is something you do for see i came straight to my family business that has a conventional traditional store, which is, you know, they sell everything including shoes. i was just want to do something on my own make myself independent. the somebody that i really liked when i was in university, i so huge market already. they like everyone who sort of setting online. so i well, why not? i start something online interest, you know, so something that i can my name is love. i am the founder of the she local brand name. i'm ozetta. i'm from indonesia and i'm also writing a book called in my own. she's straight after i get married and start a business about you later i have a baby. her name is i'm is out by the way. after 7 years, i had a divorce,
4:54 am
which came and play huge part of my life because at the moment it was really in the dark and you know what happened to entrepreneurs when they have personal struggle, everything from both. and that's why um, in 2019, we decided that we have to close amazon in terms of bankruptcy. from that moment on, i realize that it is crucial for entrepreneurs to be able to read numbers of their own business so that they can make and allies these according to facts and data on many of the interactions that happen in my life have been 2 social media, i have nothing to lose how to do this, the business, so i thought, why not just post it as it is, surprisingly, i found so many of other entrepreneurs who are not able to even read their own
4:55 am
final financials goodman, let alone having financial fit. after um, you know, experiencing failures. i felt strongly that having the courage to leave s yourself, as i call it, in your own shoes, is very important because that is the only way that you can be the best question of yourself. not. you know what other people expect you to be or to do, and that is the only way that you can give meaningful impact for other people. so i think it's all about it for yourself and that cottage to this in your own shoes and firing stuff. and that brings us to the end of this edition of made. thank you so much for watching. remember, you can always re watch the reports from today's show online at www dot com. you can also find more business stories on the detailing, use youtube channel until next time for me on the team. its goodbye. take
