but figuring out how to do so open for folks he says to face, take electric cars, they're a key part of a green or future. but they're bob trees require lithium 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 and pitfalls of using biofuel as an energy source. a whole new perspective why investors are best and big on augmentative reality and high one in the nation. entrepreneur used to stay here to power or come back. i am kate 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 a lithium on right now. the world of and have enough of it to me is ever increasing
5:32 am
demands. that scarcity has led to a dramatic rise in lithium prices, as well as a growing interest in new mining projects. and our next report will take you to the 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,
5:33 am
we're really focused on doubling our production. so, you know, we want to get up to, you know, between upwards of 8000 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 tech tech capacities believe to hold the largest leasing deposit in the united states and to be one of the largest in the world. not only do we need this projects 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,
5:34 am
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 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 by just take a pass or p model in the language of the digit is by you. it's not always 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
5:35 am
tribes cultural research program. she guides us to a tribal historic preservation that habitat is going to be destroyed for electric vehicles, evans stripe, and at least one other part of a lawsuit against the b l. m. that aims at stopping the project at tech a pass completely that the people know that mining doesn't also just bring jobs, but it also brings annihilation to homelands and will, will annihilate indigenous peoples way of life. unless you mind at tech, a pass will have a direct impact on the fort mcdermott, shoshone pa, you tried that is just 35 miles away. the tribe 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 made it was have
5:36 am
always been considered stewards of, of, you know, of mother earth. yeah. you know that this is, this is borrowed, you know, 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 ago in the lines. see what suffix connect me. i don't want to push my elders and their beliefs and then the traditional part of it that 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 and ed barto is also a part in the last we. i've enormous concerns about the the water table and there's pretty extensive agitation here, navy vegetation that grows up chastise. so if the water drops, this will turn into barren desert heat. seem america says deadline,
5:37 am
we'll draw even less water then what is currently allocated for farming and ranching at the past. the company also claims to have refined to alicia 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 effect 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 is in green and blowing up a sacred site isn't right. there's nothing more to it. the 2nd pass or pc ma is where different world views carolina. a court decision about the pending lawsuit
5:38 am
against the mining project is expected to be issued the . now while the debate litzy in 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,
5:39 am
this source of power can be re growth. companies and governments around the world are ramping up investments. but at the moment, only around 4 percent of agricultural space 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 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
5:40 am
a temperature of about $55.00 degrees celsius. bio gas is produced, containing large quantities of methane, a powerful source for generating electricity and heat once it's been fed into the gas grid. 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 world . about 20000 in europe alone. a estimate 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 admit bio mass. energy has one
5:41 am
large advantage over solar and wind in that it's on demand. so you don't care of the winds blowing. sunshiny 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 ground crops. or what else can we use bio mass for fuel 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 used cooking oil for the route from paris to montreal. another biofuel is bio ethanol plant, such as corn or sugarcane, or fermented and distilled bio s an all can replace 10 to 20 percent of the
5:42 am
gasoline used to power a vehicle and then there's bio diesel. it's made by combining animal fast 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 the crops have to be specially grown, and that steel spanks from food crops, or even depletes forest and bio diversity. like west palm wild trees and indonesia, sugar cane 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
5:43 am
emissions. but 16400000 tons could be stored if natural vegetation were allowed to return on crump fields. instead. the simplest means of generating bio mass. energy is our most ancient way burning it like would leaks or waste governments around the world are even using it as part of their carbon neutral strategies and biomass. we need good old trees. the as one time over the past decade, the demand for them as an energy source have steadily risen. the less 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 n g hills have gathered evidence that shows that natural forest inhabitants in eastern europe and north america are being destroyed to state the growing appetite
5:44 am
form when balanced through illegal logging. the policy makers in the u. s. e u and u. k. have classified woody bio mass as renewable, 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 small burning pellets is reabsorbed. so in the united states, depending on what state you're in, you plan to the for trees, for everyone, you cut down the plant to, to, for new or existing little tiny trying to reach for searches
5:45 am
like kelly suggest that the immediate impact of substituting would for coal is an increase in atmosphere excel to a study found that depending on the type of forest it could take up to 10 years until nearly planted trees absorb the same amounts of carbon sucked up by the ones that were cut down folder trees, store more carbon. so there are certain for us that are even more critical to climate change 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 absorb 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 and solar, on this energy source. that's not going to get us where we need to be planted.
5:46 am
most forms of biomass look at 1st glance to be better than they are or printing, want to replace coal is not a solution because even if the wood comes from sustainable forestry or is would waste it 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 in 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 ship rack or viewing an apartment. oh, without leaving the comfort of your home. well, according to some tech enthusiast,
5:47 am
all it takes is the right pair of glasses. the global market for augmented on virtual reality is on a major path towards growth. in 2021, 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
5:48 am
with big plans. take some moment to, to so called hollow dex. they connect to colleagues in a virtual room is clear that the green part 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 you now. and it happens naturally by paying attention and reading body language. this is,
5:49 am
this is the system we 1st developed in the garage to try out different applications . so that's why we could build it so cheaply. good. but now we have the funding and we can shrink everything the decline, shrink tyler, those dots reuse 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 we have the whole human factor to wait on various measurement as the break. this is a big issue was because we're looking through the glass and providing him being polite and came from getting i think old mentioned reality is one of the most complicated things you can build right now and kind of, i haven't put a rocket in space yet. but i bet it's easier houses. i thought it 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. young players have
5:50 am
been out for a long time like microsoft and logic. leap is made meant to be onto glasses for business applications. and the big hope is upload. mentioned we onto classes so far . they've always been somebody for next year, so that with a name, there are other companies like and real to that have already built the 1st consumer ready glasses onto the market off market. 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 on a qu, us just slightly, today's smartphones. i'm showing everything i want to save time, some things that don't interest me and i'm not going to be in. i even think of an issue with these classes. they're not too worried about the international competition and calls route, which is only offered a limited field of vision into the 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,
5:51 am
then they realized afterwards that they still couldn't get the fields vision, the form factors that you need so that you don't look stupid wearing it, and you get this immersive feeling. we're doing something completely new. what 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, it doesn't come up. i don't own that. it's a camera down to record data and compute in 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. i mean, that's what all of the setup is for here. you can make it all disappear afterwards . tired and not have the i t specialist and engineers who work full time
5:52 am
for gigs. so the old man to the phone just hoping that will change sooner. the glasses will be launched in 2 to 3 years under expect it to conquer, nothing less than the world. anti is, or 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,
5:53 am
the 3 do it from 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 and just, you know, so something that i can so 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 a year later i have
5:54 am
a baby. her name is i'm is that out. by the way, after 7 years i had a divorce 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. i 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 the lives these according to the facts and data on many of the interactions that happen in my life have been 3 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,
5:55 am
i found so many of other entrepreneurs who are not able to even read their own final financial statement, let alone having financial after um, you know, experiencing failures. i felt strongly that having the courage to leave us your cells, as i call it, in your own shoes, is very important because that is the only way that you can be the best place you on of yourself or 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 set in front of yourself and that cottage to the senior, which is inspiring 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
