11:15 am
the i did you have and football team played. it's 1000 match on monday evening, but could only manage a drawer against you paying 72, lead through nice. that's who cool. bought in own goals from antonio, who to get into goes from victoria to sun coast gave you pain. so $31.00 lead to that goes from i have its annual, it's about 2 minutes salvage the pool for the hose springing the final school $23.00. all the proceeds from the charity match will be terminated to close up is up next on big visible and getting ideals. this will have been used next down on the interest, the global economy portfolio dw business be here's
11:16 am
a closer look at the project. to analyze the flight for market dominance. with d w business beyond john c. o 2 vacuum cleaners. mary cooled us in the fields. algae funds in africa. how i took efforts to stop the global warming and say no, i'm 10 years from now. it's too late and we need to start now and research it from all angles. what is most effective effective? what can be implemented later? that's false. which innovations can really mitigate the kind of crisis and which ones should be used with caution? the condition we can take one problem or humans have created to add another on top of i find the very unappealing them thoughts. i took innovations of breaking new ground, but can they re the stop climate change the
11:17 am
most and spun is doing the rounds and it's gotten in west and germany's ryan has to reach him. most of his plans have recovered from last. some is heat way. 2015 as on the like lawn which was exposed to the sun and turned into a field of stomach and the cells, it looked nothing like a lawn anymore. it looked like it was in southern spain, and it hadn't rained for 30 years. i think it was alarming elf. good. at one point, we just stopped watering at the ground scraps was too much. the consequences of climate change a palpable buzz here in the garden and more domestically elsewhere in the world. martha huntsman believes that something has to change on a small, as well as the large scale maintenance. there's a wide range of solutions. there's no one answer and it's not just down to electron mobility or rain water management or getting up meet. there are so many
11:18 am
constructive solutions that work well, hopefully in the news, all also will show us later which of these solutions he's involved in professionally intensive research and to climate change mitigation has been conducted for several years now in iceland, nature office a solution with an ideal combination of ingredients, geothermal energy, volcanic rock, and plenty of water the like a spaceship, stranded in the middle of nowhere. the carbon cat chips on is the 1st of its kind. okay. use of dr. connect to is to filter carbon dioxide, a harmful greenhouse gas from the atlas van the.
11:19 am
the assessor captures the sale to monitor while releasing of a cleaner air back into the atmosphere. and once the filters are full, you close up the compartments. that the filter is in, and you apply sheets to around a 100 degrees celsius, which released assist c o 2. and we can capture and collect the heat is produced, renew, believe from it to you. it's m o power station, the old website, and has collected $4000.00 tons per year so far. the equivalent of the greenhouse gas emissions of $360.00 people in germany. it's not a lot, i mean, because it mits, around $36000000.00 tons of c o 2 per year. but this is a new technology. we went from capturing milligrams 2 kilograms to tons to 4000 tons. and so we are on our way to a huge, a massive scale of motion. so will be built ceiling, not just hear a noise, cent, wherever there is volcanic rock,
11:20 am
these plans can be built as the c o 2 can be permanently stored in the row. that's what's happening under these a glaze nearby the although it take to good not sun explains to us exactly how the company he works for the event. if the process it's simple, at least in principle. so this allows 5, but we're looking at this a pipe from the tail, from a power plants injecting to a terminal water back in to around 2 kilometers deep into the area. and what conflicts to us is to actually borrow that pipe and injects our c o. 2 charged water coming through the smaller might enter the bigger one. and also going down into the earth. where the seo tool from the water is minute or less than in less
11:21 am
than 2 years. it's a natural process, but it runs more quickly here as the quest, as large quantities of c o 2. it's all the question of the right ratio between pressure, temperature and depth is what i'm holding here in my hands this to course until the before. and after off the top it's not. the one of them is the uh, fast off the garage, but you can see it has a lot of homes in it. so the want so that we inject into the ground, goes through these holes, and the c o 2 in the water. and the solves muscles in the wrong and forms a mineral called co sites. and this core that i'm holding here shows you the wides. thoughts is c o 2, that has been turned into stone, filling up the holes in the rock. the c o 2 can stay in the rock for ever
11:22 am
several 100000000 tons of c o. 2 could be stored under this plan to loan and much more worldwide. in principle, it's a brilliant process, says 12 and i'm on at the university of humbug. he's working on ideas to remove c o 2 from the atmosphere like this most of my life. but of course you do have to ask yourself what it costs less costs with us, the all. and if there are other solutions that can make a contribution, which are perhaps less costly, di, bypassed by some kind of deflect, direct, the air carbon capture is one way. there's huge potential that's put inside of this whole at least in places where there is enough. but cell trucks, i'm green energy, but is it really the way to stop trying to change? you can not use this technology to as an excuse for business, as you'll see a little bit can only be on a fission to all of our other efforts in reducing emissions. reducing that
11:23 am
dependency on fossil fuels, changing over to green or sources of energy. we need to, to all of those things according to the un in together mental panel on climate change, carbon dioxide emissions need to be reduced quickly and drastically to hold global warming to $1.00 degree celsius of laid out in the 2015 power as climate is agreement, but to ensure this existing greenhouse gases also have to be removed from the atlas van. this is known as negative emissions because needs to full below 0 current li, just to giga tons of carbon dioxide are extracted from the atmosphere to year. mainly through reforestation. a tiny fraction is extracted using technical methods . according to one study, these would have to extract as a $1300.00 times more by the middle of the century than they do now. so
11:24 am
he's here to escape from the small size that is now in the mountain work. it has to be done faster, and if we facilitate more research, of course it will go faster. but it's not all we need to inspect the right political guidelines are also necessary to specify which direction we don't on the go as in which the goal is. we want to have a way to see the volume at home and is got an assignment also relies on a small scale technical solution, putting up umbrellas to protect against the heat put in by what it cannot be. and we have to umbrellas for the area where children play boxes at 30 degrees in the shade with direct sunlight the garden, the face of south north. it's not very sensible to be there without shade one of us out on the front of the stall, as he also had is the idea of a dry and power is sold to cool the whole scientists a crazy one, actually knows. it's been around for some time. in 1991, the peanut to the volcano erupted in the philippines. hundreds of people were
11:25 am
killed and the damage was enormous. hit the volcano did something that researches all over the world have been studying ever since. the volcano ejected salsa gas into the stratosphere, where it reacted with oxygen to form tiny particles. this formed familiar which reflected unplug the sun life creation a kind of dry and shield like a parasol for the planet. for months, temperatures will half a degree cooler than usual. it's ok, nose can do is quite calm. humans, special ed across could bring the salsa up to the stratosphere. technically, it is possible to create an artificial shield against the sense limits splunk institute for me to reality and have the as we searching how it could work. whether they can be maya and his team are using data collected during volcanic eruptions.
11:26 am
very different brought itself or into the atmosphere. it would be globally distributed in all directions, high air currency, it would affect everybody. this is exactly what makes it difficult to assess the impact and consequences ever since the so we have to see what the impact of a saw for our mission up there would be what kind of crime and effect. but it has to end on the maybe there'd be side effects we can't easily for a single categories upsets and couldn't would you the by to it could change rainy and dry seasons regionally with consequences for farm is it's also not clear how much sofa would be needed, and it should be if it had opened and insights, i'm so far as a lifetime of about one year. so that means you would have to bring up large amounts continuously, or at least once, twice, 3 times a year, to get a fairly constant layer on the federalized live and the few stop. the whole thing done with the software would be gone again in 2 years. at most and the temperatures would rise rapidly again, but the house on understand no one has the dead to attempt such a technical intervention in the course of nature,
11:27 am
but suitable across could be available in just a few. yes. for the i just knew it should really only be used as a last resort. but if we don't reduce emissions, i think life on earth will become very difficult. and son reaches music, which could very well tip the public mood and favour of such methods. just of course, this would mean creating another artificial solution on top of artificial climate change, which is not such a nice idea either on the whole state. it's not, there's no constraint of course to invest dr. nema within one to see a political framework put in place to regulate the deployment of self of world wide, or the idea was stocked, bible kind of corruption. volcanoes also happened to provide the rule materials for office solutions, which could permanent a. we may have c o 2 from the atmosphere. volcanic rock can be used as a greenhouse gas, think not just in our salons, excellent. the,
11:28 am
and also bought in this book, the sold rock just as being spread across the field. the . it's an experiment to show that c o 2 can also be sequestered without specially developed high tech machines. on this still showing what we're doing here is accelerating a natural process and see the weathering of salacious rock happens around the globe all the time. you know, so i just attended in the weathering process. rainwater reacts with the minerals in the rock. the c o 2 becomes fixed and permanent, t boned within a salt as a decomposition product. the conditions in the arable sewing are ideal. refunds and due to the fox and can be the plants that grow there. and the micro organisms that live there, they produce c o 2, the c o 2 concentration in the soil is much higher than in the atmosphere and that
11:29 am
accelerates the weather in process. let's pull tests. that sounds simple enough but is requires more research on a gale cost is already struggling with $1.00 of the most amount, simple problems on his field. the machine is taking longer than expected. take fingers for this technology is actually designed for fertilizer for line. that's why too little is coming out as missing competition. so why don't we just improvise and double back out there is less of the of how to draw, which is very fine and drawing creates a lot of the us go with 5. if i think you can see the effect of the neighbors failed to do anything with the scientists, the method and the formulas still need some look. every field and every kind of soil is different. grain size makes a difference to you. find that the sum of
11:30 am
a like mind, the finer we grinds, the rock, the greater the surface area you can cover. there are pros and cons both ways. and if you have very finely ground material with very little moisture and you get a lot of dust, when you distributed, stopping to compare to all spring on the production of the material is also more expensive. which is why the researches want to use existing pouted wrong. if possible, it could be found by the ton simply line around inquiries. this would be cheaper and more efficient. another advantage is that enhanced weathering release has nutrients that improve the soil. tobin almonds team at the university of handbook is investigating exactly how much c, o 2 is captured in the process. the result, the method works and not in, in the power train as something it often it also works in that field. we have to assume that he only got on it's just more difficult to prove it doesn't. and of
11:31 am
course of field is not in close, like a bucket or a tube or a huge rain barrel used for an experiment. kind of these things. it's open in all directions, upwards, downwards to all sides. so it's hard to really trace where the product of our weathering ended up. is it the whole are they still stuck in the ground? or maybe we can't recognize them at 1st and what we spot them again later. that's the challenge to talk to them on is sure to look and keep catching up to 5 percent of the c o. 2 emissions annually. worldwide. the infrastructure already exists and there is plenty of arable land about this even more ocean. the oceans already excelled around the corner of the carbon dioxide emissions and researches things the real 2nd might be much higher. and the problem is that when c o 2 dissolves in bullshit, it turns into acid with tom's, both animals and plants,
11:32 am
the carbon dioxide would have to be permanent lease requested in the ocean and acidity levels, need to be reduced. an experiment is coming to being prepared at the g o more ocean research center into measuring pro, so installed in these simple boxes, which are filled with soil and post colonial guy. not and who research team call these boxes been so cousins estimate from the baltic sea and pouring fjord watcher over it. we can simulate to see bed of the baltic sea and via the middle school in the us see guidance and hit team have retrieved, settlement from the c bed in various the locations. the experiments are now being done in the pen. so customs without any risk to the environment, to rock dust will be added to the water soon in different grain sizes and ratios.
11:33 am
the stuff comes to mind physics, taking the silica or carbon elementary nevada one day to solve the marine chemistry . the chemistry of the sea water surely is changed in a way that means more c o 2 can be absorbed acetate with. so i also know that in come a welcome side effect is that it also neutralizes harmful acidity. in the voice in these processes can be precisely measured fan for seen as we have different codes that we insert into the settlement itself. and some that we measure at the surface so we can determine exactly how the chemistry changes and how the organisms in victoria and the settlement are subsequently affected with a meant to call from somebody is also called a c bed is teeming with life stuff which snails and runs could all be at risk from heavy muscles that could be looking in the rock dust. yeah, that's good to know. we have somewhat nickel and manganese, for example, can have a toxic effect on some organisms, but it has not yet been researched. how much is released and whether it really has
11:34 am
a negative effect on organisms. if that's exactly what we want to find out here, holes clean the weather is taking a 10 for the west of the field into cold and rain, or hampering the research as well. and this is the tricky part. the different mixtures have to be carefully distributed in the been so cost them that associates live on the pentecostalism, dental kaufman. it's actually a byproduct of simon production. that is um in total cost, but it's a mens we want to get just the right mixture canada, so it's all to solve and there is no thick layer left at the bottom of the pen to cut some because based on the um for the special costs we did a layer would also cover creatures on the see about taking since because of the $1.00 in a few months, it will be possible to see exactly how well the process works. by then, results will also be available from experiments conducted in other locations,
11:35 am
such as the cost of ground. canaria preachers live just below the water surface, the to the insurance on them of minerals added to the water is also being tested enclosed contains. the potential of this message could be huge because the main one do you need large quantities to shift? so also new ships so, so and for part of the loading capacity of existing ships could be used for distributing the rock the about. but either way, we have to come up with a method to get the material into the ocean with them to come to the new message, such as here on the atlantic coast of laraca on the edge of the sahara. this plant is a way to extract in c o 2 from the atmosphere. lorayne l g, do the job in huge tanks. by other just russell,
11:36 am
you have lena came up with the idea. l chain naturally absorb c o. 2 from the volta and store. it's called the fascinated gland. we learn very quickly how much light they mean, how many nutrients they need, what temperature they need. this is the how much when they like it just what makes these algae happy as it were? so they grow fast to organise moves and also have holes. the organisms are also very generous when they've been around for hundreds of millions of years and they're very patient to do it. so they've put up with a lot of our research and have them feed it for an open functions like tv tape and at the the algae in these sit in this and the green house. i'll just 2 weeks old. now not for bust enough for the outdoor tanks yet. dr. so you, vena and his team has been submissive, the project for 11. yes. the algae are indigenous to
11:37 am
morocco. the grow especially quickly under the facilities conditions. say bio mass doubles in less than one day. in decent lives in this environment, they can be very effective as a 30 times more effective than trees and extracting c o 2 from the air going the location on the american coast is ideal. the algae like the local climate and lots of some the nutrients which was that comes from the sea and the electricity for the pumps and paddle wheels is from the cool wind. and so that's not how this thing takes place of just a few days. the algae are dried in machines or in the sun. this is how they end up looking. of the yeah, the having the just here are are dried elegy these into their now the hydrated, super, super dry and super salty. and we can now bury these algy directly and they will last for several 1000 years. and um, the hudson done me is
11:38 am
a $1000.00 buried in the deserts. so carbon dioxide can no longer escape. the aim is for the algae plan to operate as quickly and energy efficiency as possible. fuel vena and his team already one step ahead. in this experimental tons made of plexiglas senses constantly measure the conditions and adjusts them independence. the 4 optimal growth in moines and the new green house. we're trying out the technologies to automate or algae cultivation and so so ultimately is young. when they're going, algae can adapt very well to the environment, the arden, but we can also adapt the environment to the algae here in the greenhouse. you can
11:39 am
type house of the owners on the auditing and passing construction of a plant 10 times launches. and this one is about to begin uh, this option here in southern morocco, 400000 tons of c o 2 could soon be removed annually. and that's just the stats in the line to get this in morocco alone. there are 5000 square kilometers of land that's ideal yards and, and that's just morocco mobile phase 5 world wide. there are about half a 1000000 square kilometers of a perfect land, flat sunny by the ocean, and go to what's there about $2000000000.00 tons of c o 2 per year could be sequestered this way. about 5 and a half percent of current emissions. many companies are interested in the technology by buying c o 2 certificates. they could improve the calvin footprint of the the method wouldn't work in the gym in climate. but another one does,
11:40 am
which also relies on biomass from song hey, most gab, help develop this kind of project and did ryan and politeness the role materials o garrick waste in which plans have stored, coven actually visits. the stuff that we use, the residual materials from legit production to be all similar which we obtain from the local board as to now. but we can use any other dr. plant residues here to produce bio charts. so that's all the cold from suns has been around for centuries, but gambles machine processors, the residues fall more efficiently and clean the and its latest version. it runs entirely on its own energy. no harmful gases are released in the end, the what chips are turned into bio char from the onset, se additional and we read discovered methods that already existed. simmons,
11:41 am
the technology from old civilizations, which was originally developed by indigenous people in brazil. you doing things when we built the machine, which can also be operated in central europe and below which complies with the limits and also ensures that the heat generated can be used at all sort of steep. i'm going to divide staple twice. here in decades the energy is fed into the local heating grid. the system is already working on this funding, new customers worldwide. the order for a full, full gather and his team. the system being assembled here seemed to be installed in the usa of the hop name of since our buyers are comp posting plan, municipalities to cities that process green waste and the facilitators to unlock the fun moments of volume to say at least days we also have an nashville customers, the geology applied to our customer ranges, whitening due to climate change being such
11:42 am
a massive issue. now the applied on your homeless by a chart is also produced in death. we made most so then someone again who works as plot manager at the alba. so they take a sample of to buy it, shaw that time, and then choose the quest. as c o 2 from the atlas van to great quality strives you probably wouldn't want to eat it's it's mostly used as a di, as an additive and concrete. and even in skin scrubs or tradition, the social condition to an agriculture and look under the microscope shows why they put on to call it as income, bio char, as a carrier income, a whole each bomb. it works like a sponge. so for on this page binds and stores nutrients and water onto those on my and since our summers are getting hotter and hotter and it's raining less and less with extended periods of drought. but the bio chart is very helpful to you. i've got to have his advisor, muscles and spun. also use this by
11:43 am
a chart at home and he has got and he mixes it with sand and humans before planting his vegetables and it it also helps on a small scale. he says the notes got and we'll do in our kitchen garden where we've added significantly more bio char. we don't have to water as much as we need. that's one effect which is very clearly achievable, seen by us. in this way, his gun is also making a contribution to the fight against climate change will be it's a very small one. winning the battle against climate change cannot only be achieved by technical solutions. on the positive flights of a mighty avoiding a ton of c o 2 by not emitting it in the 1st place costs relatively little. and a ton of recapturing a ton of c o. 2 that is already in the atmosphere costs much more female damage. so you have to think through this, but you want to do nothing and pay $10.00 times as much, maybe 20 times as much 5. or would you rather save money and just do the obvious
11:44 am
thing by not emitting c o 2 in the 1st place, the to on the 5th fine as well as for some high tech salute is crucial to stop climate change bus. even the best method cannot win the battle alone. the one said s b, i c i a and most of us have been hunting for 20 years. the son of a k, a tom lee, the most timely fund way was sort of the as we say, the poster child for the,
11:45 am
the proliferation problem assigned to them. and then it is said, no one has ever seen a sold in the side of pacific. how is he the fugitive right now? the world's most dangerous. where is, is wanted dogs june 29 on dw, the in sierra leone health crisis, he's looming to 90. they tells me in the hospital, i have diabetes. patients will often die because they don't have access to industry. i'm liking wealthy countries. sierra leone has a severe lack of drugs used to treat diabetes.
