for 20 years, the song of a k, a tom lee is considered the most dangerous time. we fund way was sort of the as we say, the poster child for the the cliff freshman problem. and then it is said, no one has ever seen a stone in the side of the superpower. the world's most dangerous frontage, dogs june 29 on dw, the raw materials are essential, costly and limited supply. one metal that's just about everywhere copper used in

power cables and electronics for its high electrical and thermal conductivity. since it doesn't rust, it's ideal for water pipe and is used in florida. and she's making copper has been used with thousands of years. a several archaeological excavations have shown it has been used to make some of the world's most well known landmarks like a statue of liberty and an entire paris metro station. so where does the cop are come from? and what does it take to extract it? will answer that in this edition of made dw business magazine. and here are the other resources we're looking at. nuclear energy, controversial get popular in poland, water fighting shortages with creativity and spices. our trend gains momentum to pundits in belgium. welcome to the show. as copper is

vital to the energy transition and digitalization and telecommunications electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar energy plants securing this metal in europe is increasingly important. so wal major produces china and russia no longer dependable suppliers. europe is looking elsewhere, including sweden. this candidate and country has the continents largest corporate deposits. and at the i take mine, guntee, excavators and trucks are used to extract the metal. a reporter question for celsius visited europe's largest copper mines. the spark engine when trucks are at work in europe's largest open pick copper mines located in northern sweden. oversized excavators, load them up. the mine is hundreds of meters deep. and the rock ends up in the world's largest stone mills, which extract copper to supply europe's high tech industries. but can it be done in

an environmentally friendly way? she drives one of the biggest trucks in the world, a caterpillar $795.00 half to you in europe such as copper mines run by the company . both of the vehicle is as big as a house. 8 meters tall tag along with her to load up some rocks. sophie visited them, drives through the page in this 3400 horsepower vehicle. so how does one actually get a drivers license for one of these mess of trucks? you have to be uh, at least 21 years old. your drivers license for the car for 3 years and then the education lights

on default the well, i will see 2 last sometimes i mean semester or shift is 8 hours. the pass down into the mine is steve. besides here, so we have to waving is required so that other drivers can see that your away can doing fine. the truck transport $600.00 tons of rock per trip and breaking times are long. i think it's maybe with reaction time rates time bars, because this is a big truck and it depends on how we load the roads. how are they? if it's no way it is said to be loaded. now the world's largest excavator vehicle gets into position the p. n. h. excavator. 4100. c 10.

1 load carry 60 to 80 tons of rock. it has 2 motors and can even be operated electrically. massive explosions are a common place occurrence here. every month, new layers of stone are being loose and for transporting the curving routes that used to be them no longer exist. and that even gets on sophie's nerve, sometimes it, when you are free for a week and you come back, it's not sure that you will find your way around here because it always, always change your belt. stretched for miles, transporting the copper rich rock to the stone mill. it's also the world's largest of its kind. they use the same amount of energy as some cities. it makes me feel very small. the rock is put in water basins where it is chemically

processed to separate the cover from other substances. in the end, you're left with this concentrated copper mixture engineer monkey, selena works in the preparation hall and is one of the people in charge of the refining process. at another factory copper is separated from the mixture and they'll sit down apart from small amounts of silver and gold. more than 99 percent of the production consists of copper to factories consume massive amounts of energy. but the electricity they're using comes from 100 percent renewable

sources, such as from this nearby hydro electric plant that has improved the mines, carbon footprint in the past 2 years. and that's important to the industries customers to the customer, the demand, uh i will say uh a cup. the product that's as high as low call them footprint. and also good quality . they have for tonight to have mainly high on the hydro power election to have sophia and her colleagues driving 3 shifts. jay in tonight all year round. over half of this 60 drivers here are women. this is usually something that people think is a man's job or something that women can do it too. so why was it like oh, i think it's attractive because it's fun. now it's time to fill up the fuel tanks

with over $7000.00 leaders of diesel a. it's as much as the heating oil needed by one house over a year. the truck can go for 32 hours per tank load. then it's also set to change less diesel and more renewables for truck isn't electric hybrid with one diesel engine and one electric motor. the. so now we're going to connect to the trucks, drive on renewable energy coming from the electric cables above them, the by 2030. all the trucks in service will be electric, then the company will marketed as green. copper, virtually c o. 2 free and powered by 100 percent renewables.

poland wants to reduce this dependence on fossil fuels, which is still a large chunk of the countries energy mix. the government is investing heavily in nuclear energy to change that. it plans to build 2 large nuclear power plants and construction for one of them is set to begin next year. but well, many in poland, support and nuclear energy. not everyone is happy about the site. the government has chosen for one power plant. a reporter mark who is in sco was there of switching from code to the action. that's the course that poland is taking. today. 70 percent of poems energy mixed comes from domestic t mind. mcknight, cold, the coal fired react trip. they had hacked off is, you know, just admit to risk greenhouse gases. the plant nuclear reactor is meant to be part of the solution. and then i get to get back to like

204075 percent of our energy mix should consist of non fossil fuel sources, doctor's integrated, half of that should come from renewable energy sources. and a quarter will be from nuclear energy. only 25 percent will be from gas and co justin hartzell's, this guy. so these are the thing. last $24036.00 units with a total capacity of $6.00 to $9.00 gigawatts will be built at 2 locations. the 1st site has already been chosen directly on the boat succeed. that i'm sure tommy's taste. as far as i can tell, this location is conceivably the worst place for a nuclear power plant. and because of all the nature here is the chief level, the in general, i'm not opposed to building nuclear rafters, but this location is a terrible choice if you have a problem by 20,

says you for the 1st react to will go online right here at the beach the opposition is growing. 19, you can't activists want to stop the construction. the group is organizing protests and public forums when other residents in the area the a. it's a didn't because you know to the boucher which moved here 3 years ago and went out some of the cartridges then not just against nuclear power. they have other concerns to the chips is who if they build a nuclear power plant here, this area will be a construction site for 20 years. but look at that will kill tourism in the area. agriculture, clean

a and hardly any industry. that's what makes this community on the coast so attractive, perfect conditions for the tourist industry. catalina's a hi, david has been running a small hotel. he, if assess, he is. she's against the plans for a nuclear power. plants probably will not concentrate on renewable energy sources like foldable tags out, wind and hydrogen. awesome nuclear energy is all technology. i st. bennett from poland. it's a beautiful country here. and we can really use all of that. nature gives us lots of diana, florida. so the kilometers away these ruins from the eighty's was supposed to be pilots, 1st nuclear power plants and then the 10 level does of destruction on the plans with scrapped. now, opponents government to starting a new p or offensive grow finished your project. oh, nuclear power plant. i just have to finish the reactor, but i'll do that in school activities, same as the reactors. the most important part is that's where nuclear vision takes

place. and that creates a huge amount of energy at the full 1000000 euro pro nuclear campaign comprises posters, radio ads on tv commercials. now 86 percent of opponents population is full. the government's plans and the post because that's great. we should have nuclear power . it's the cleanest form of energy besides the sun on that to couple days or to some other layer. power is the best solution in poland. we don't have any other energy source, so we should be protected. we should wait because we don't have a train workforce to run it. yeah. but it's a good source of energy. right. i'm all for building nuclear power plants in poland . it's a good transitional solution to renewables such up to a 1000 years. unfortunately, we have to have nuclear energy to some of our tests. the produce government is planning small marcela pounds at 7 locations. they will be close to industrial centers to provide them with power for the growing energy needs. as well as in

largest cities like more solar and crack of the responses in pennsylvania, there's growing interest in the industry for small modular reactors that provide steady emissions, free energy on your uh, malware. and we'll do. i think they'll provide a few 100 megawatts that keep locals and industry will benefit from it to most of the most of the practice in you. then i'm sure most of them are key. and then the big reason, the poles to at least support you clear energy is that many feel it's the only way of quickly achieving a c, o 2 free energy transition. water is an increasing leaky scares resource in many parts of the world. that's why we're seeing many innovative solutions to talk with shortages, most of which are also being adapted to the needs of various populations across the world. and one would all have been tried and tested. i'm sure you'll be left

inspired by the innovation and the next report. let's take a look. he has exacerbated an ongoing crisis and is us water, gas, city, water salted, has become a never ending issue with an approaching global will also causes the liquid, fresh water is not the future problem. half of the global population experience is what the scarcity of doing, at least some parts of the over consumption that he thinks planted and fads. water management training, all ground water, rivers, and lakes was white. by the middle of the century, every 2nd country was struggling with limited access to water. to tech of this problem, we need to manage all want to better. we need to reuse it and figure out ways to use less of it. but that alone may not be enough. scientists think that we need to look beyond use it. lots of sources like rain, full snowfall river run of around for to frozen i seats in the arctic stone is 70 percent of all fresh water resources globally. thousands of sweat dominos of ice

breaks, falls as ice books every year at the males into the ocean. fresh water that is wasted duty, such has demonstrated that this about unity does support potential. soft bringing water from the northern hemisphere via defendant water to those 80 yards via the need this month. so it can be as easily scientist at the united nations university and also have to both unconventional water resources from a technological point of view. i spoke to already told today ships from the oil and gas industry up pulling small chunks away from drilling platforms to provide a city like cape town with fresh water for roughly 10 weeks. we'd need something a lot bigger, an ice mountain waiting around a 125000000 tons. in comparison, a large cargo vessel weighs around 200000 tons. and instead of pulling it just

a few 100 meters, it would have to be checked thousands of kilometers. it's a huge feet. that's computer simulations from 2011. have shown that this is possible. well, theoretically, it's still a long way from luxury 3 d animation to reality one, emerald company, the national advisor of euro s pets and to the technology to eventually put it off . but they select the funding to start the pilot face. for now, the i spoke idea is proving too big a fee to solve today's problems. so let's look to something lights up, something that can be found pretty much everywhere, like you know, how in the morning everything is covered with a small droplets. guess what? these would be for executive council fob community and it becomes liquid when it cools down. that's why i called glass of beer. this went on the outside, even though no d a spilled over in nature. this usually happens in the evening and at night when

the temperature is dropped and it's possible to take advantage of this phenomenon and have as the humidity. so fog harvesting has been practiced by indigenous people on virtually every confident this is rebecca funnel. she's a consultant and research and one of the most successful fuck how this thing operations globally. you've got some kind of material. this one is nice and 3 d. so it's got a lot of physical surface for the water to get stuck on. and then as far as passes through, it's just a cloud, you can kind of see the spray coming through in front of the other, bigger net. and then it gets caught on this net put into practice. it looks like this. on the edge of the semi eric, i bump from region to morocco, there's very little rain. but for 6 months, a sick folk hangs over the region. and this fog passes $2700.00 square made use of mesh which makes it the largest 4 carbons thing operation. and that was the 4

condensers and trips into large underground deposits from where it is distributed via pipes to people's homes. the nets collected on 35000 feet is of water every day, which fulfills the needs of more than 1000 people. and it's even used to what the crops today, the big folk harvesting operations and julie, morocco, gunner, they would try a seal in south africa. but the potential is much bigger, less suitable sites, almost everywhere. a 40 square meter on that. the deal is about $200.00 ages, but they costs roughly $1.00 was in the $500.00. but it says the communities that would benefit the most from this particular technology are also those who were kind of most marginalized within countries. so getting the attention there and the kind of start up capital where it needs to be isn't uphill battle. although capital is needed for ca, this thing is fairly cheap and scalable and a great solution for people living in remote areas. but it's not an option for big cities. there's simply not enough bulk and cities need more water than that's can

catch all up solution does not seem very crazy at 1st. but what's crazy is the amount of water we could safe by implementing its leaking pipes are the reason we lose nearly 30 percent of all fresh water globally bits of staggering, 346000000000 leaders a day. to put that in perspective, that's 30 times small than german households consume per day, or more than $2000000000.00 beth tops a year. perfectly good water. we could use to drink, wash, clean, grow food, that's just being wasted. my son called me on the full space, so we'll basically promise that was the time. this is lauren guy. he co founded the tech stuff as tara plum us is a bit of anonymous statements. us throughout the trex water leaks from space. they make satellite images with the help of microwaves. the microwaves are reflected differently depending on which medium they hit. full space,

we can get with him the sci fi underneath the oxide input soto input the pipes am. so i'll go through is actually gain linking what we can say, phone space, even the water on this bottom for like for example, based on the data always from rain or something else. they're looking for the composition of the water. if it's drinking water, they assume it's a leak and we'll see that right, the result. so take this, every thought on this met, for example, is a leak. and here to at least of over a 120 meters per minute detected improper. it's at least point in bangkok or in chinese cities, estero sales, those maps to utilities globally. so they know where to fix makes and save money. locating leaks is only the 1st step in a long process. fixing one the, my trip new ones, because it can affect the pressure within the pipe, improving and renewing pipes and infrastructure is key to saving water. and then

any $40000000000.00 that, that going down the drain globally here on is here. how do you like your food? i like mind spicy and apparently i'm part of a global trend. the demand for spices is booming. the global spice market is projected to grow 37 percent this year, making it worth a whopping $44000000000.00 euros. and the trend is expected to continue over the coming years. spices can be as expensive as cars. bonilla, cost 2000 euros per kilo and stuff. one is even costly or 14000 euros a kilo, but nothing compares to i g type i. p type, a peruvian chile that sells for 24000 euros. a kilo beast outgoing prices on scaring off. customers is not great in marble runs but a treat for the eyes and the tongues spices.

the market. this booming and thousands of new companies that's profiting like fox will. heinrich stones. it's top selling blend goes well with german bread as a little something to spice, some feet, otherwise land taste, butter. as it uh, boom is i think we're seeing a boom because of the movement towards healthy your home cooking honey enough, call them as well. but there are a few other factors like the trends towards vegetarian fluid. one tends to be just extreme budgetary meals, often require more spices, different spices involve unbelievable magazine. people are also traveling more so there's more global trade, more personal exchanges between people and that means the way we eat is becoming

more diverse. chris, you've had a few said you got to start up is located in the old warehouse district of hamburg . the german ford city is the world's 3rd most important trading center for spices after singapore and new york. these young spice farmers from uganda are visiting hamburg their association, sent them here to get to know their marcus better. so are they also benefiting from the boom husky because uh, i needs this kiddo. yeah, i, i know if i skate up within the price is would be much more because now, so based on demand subsidized, if you've got notes up right too much of it, you kinda know how much more price is. most of this size is growing in the world, come from small farmers like this one in pennsylvania. he's joined horses with other farmers to be able to sell his clothes for higher prices. going it alone

usually means having middleman dictate the price is true craftsmanship for a new spice blend at another industry. new comer in hamburg, oriental spices like human are being added since they are especially popular right now. the ingredients come from farmers and developing countries who are paid fairly . that's part of the concept. so home, you know, kind of a suppliers who have a direct connection to the plantation on the farm, is that before placing an order, i take time to consider what stuff and most of say, how important is it to them to, to maintain a fast supply chain. from paying the west coast all the way to how the actual product is growing. i know how to feel the town on this. this will be to expose product. her company also offers tastings that are attracting premium customers. mostly young people who are willing to pay 18 year olds for a blend and are always on the lookout for something new.

hot stuff, and it and cheap that brings us to the end of today's edition of made. thank you so much for watching and to join us again next time until then from me and the entire team here in berlin is good bye. take care the
