4:30 am
a tech told me about sugars paralyze between your societies, computers and governments that go crazy. so your data explain how these technologies work. they can that's how they can also watch it. now, the raw materials are essential, costly and limited supply. one metal that's just about everywhere copper used in
4:31 am
power cables and electronics for the 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 the statue of liberty and an entire paris metro station where it is cop are come from. and what does it take to extract it? will answer that in this edition of made the w's 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 and valuable welcome to the show. the copper is
4:32 am
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 while major produces china and russia are 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 to guns. excavators and trucks are used to extract the metal. a reporter question for celsius, visited europe's largest compromise. these dark entry 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
4:33 am
an environmentally friendly way? she drives one of the biggest trucks in the world, a caterpillar 795 half year in europe, such as copper mines run by the company. pull the debt 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 pit in this 3400 horsepower vehicle. so how does one actually get a drivers license for one of these massive 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,
4:34 am
i will need to ask sometimes i'm an instructor or shift is 8 hours. the pass down into the mine is steep besides here, so we have to make 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 maybe i don't know. reaction time. rates time. pretty far because this is a big truck and it depends on how we load the roads. how are they? if it's no way it says to be loaded. now the world's largest excavator vehicle gets into position the p. n. h. excavator. 4100 c 10.
4:35 am
1 load carry 60 to 80 tons of rocks. 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 curve, the routes that used to be them no longer exist. and that even gets on sophie's nerves. sometimes it, when you are free for, we do come back to you. it's not sure that you will find your way around here because it always, always change your belt stretch 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
4:36 am
put in water basins square. 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. to add 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 the factories consume massive amounts of energy, but the electricity they're using comes from 100 percent renewable sources,
4:37 am
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 a cup, the product that test has low call them footprint and also good quality. they have fortunate to have mainly high oh and a hydro power election to here. sophie and your colleagues driving 3 shift j and 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, but 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 leaders of these or it's as much as the heating oil needed by one
4:38 am
house over a year. the truck and 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 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.
4:39 am
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 to a 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 switching some code to the action. that's the cost that poland is taking. today. 70 percent of poems energy mixed comes from domestic t mind. mcknight, cold, the coal fired react to it. bad hospital is you know, just admit to risk greenhouse gases. the plant nuclear reactor is meant to be part of the solution and then get to get back to the 204075 percent of our energy mixture consist of non fossil fuels. sources
4:40 am
is in a good 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 cold step justin hartzell's. this guy's a, is the thing law by 2043, 6 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 baltic sea viruses, right? tony's face, as far as i can tell, this location is conceivably the worst place for a nuclear power plant and to because of all the nature here is the chief level. in general, i'm not opposed to building nuclear rafters, but this location is a terrible choice. is it a little bit on the 20 says he for the 1st react to will go online right here at
4:41 am
the beach. the opposition is growing on tv activists want to stop the construction the group is organizing protests and public forums to win as a residents in the area the it's a dent containing a tree bush of which moved here 3 years ago and went out some of the cartridges then not just against nuclear power. they have other concerns to do chips is who if they build a nuclear power plant here, this area will be a construction site for 20 years moment. but look, that will kill tourism in the area. agriculture, clean a and hardly any industry. that's what makes this community on the coast. so
4:42 am
attractive, perfect conditions for the tourist industry. katara, she knows the heidi which has been running a small hotel he, if assess, he is, she's against the plans where nuclear power plants push the button. i'll concentrate on renewable energy sources like photo, ball 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 put somebody in the florida. so the kilometers away these ruins from the eighty's was supposed to be payments 1st, nuclear power pounds, and then the 10 level does of destruction on the plans, the scratch. now opponents government to spell seeing a new pay our offensive grow. you finished your project or 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 station takes place. and that
4:43 am
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. so to give you a couple days to some other layer, power is the best solution in poland. we don't have any other energy source is a research project that we should wait because we don't have a train workforce to run it yet. but it's a good source of energy project. i'm all for building nuclear power plants in poland. it's a good transitional solution to renewables such up to 1000. unfortunately, we have to have nuclear energy to some of our tests. produce government is planning small margie laptops at 7 locations. they will be close to industrial centers to provide them with power for the growing energy needs,
4:44 am
as well as in largest cities like most orange clack of the trust offices in pennsylvania. there's growing interest in the industry for small modular reactors that provide steady emissions. free energy on your uh, now we will do, i think that they'll provide a few 100 megawatts. so to keep locals and industry will benefit from it the most to the most of which practicing you then them to move the key. and then the big we're using the polls to at least support nuclear 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
4:45 am
inspired by the innovation and the next report. let's take a look. he has exacerbated an ongoing crisis in the us water gas city. water shortage has become a never ending issue with when approaching global will also causes the liquor fresh water is not a future problem. half of the global population experience is what the scarcity of doing, at least some parts of the over consumption. he thinks bennett and bath water management training, all ground water, rivers, and lakes was white. by the middle of the century, every 2nd country will struggle with limited access to water. to take up 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 for snowfall river run of around for to frozen ice seats in the arctic stone, 8070 percent of all fresh water resources. globally. thousands of flicky dominos of
4:46 am
ice breaks, falls as ice boats every year at males into the ocean. fresh water that is wasted duty, such as damage to get that piece up to the dashboard pretensions chart, bringing water from the northern hemisphere. we're data defendant water, $2.80 yards via the needs this month. so it can be as easily scientist at the united nations university and also off the book, 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 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
4:47 am
a few 100 meters, it would have to be checked thousands of kilometers. it's a huge fetes 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 in the rocky company, the national advise of euro s, pets and to the technology to eventually put it off. but there's still a 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 like that. something that can be found pretty much everywhere. like there, you know, how in the morning everything is covered with the small droplets. guess what? the square before executive council, fob humidity, and it becomes liquid when it goes down. that's why i called glass of beer. this wet on the outside, even though this spilt over in nature. this usually happens in the evening and at
4:48 am
night when the temperature is dropped and it's possible to take advantage of this phenomenon and have as the submit it to. so fog harvesting has been practiced by indigenous people on virtually every continent. this is rebecca funnel. she's a consultant and research at one of the most successful forecasting operations globally. you've got some kind of material. this one's nice and 3 d 2 got a lot of physical surface for the water to get stuck on. and then as far as passes through, it's just the cloud, you can kind of see the spray coming through in front of the other, bigger net. and then it gets caught on this not put into practice. it looks like this on the edge of the semi area, i bump from region to morocco. there's very little rain for 6 months, a sick fall kegs over the region. and this fog passes 2700 square meters of mesh which makes it the largest for competing operation. and that was for condensers and trips into large underground deposits from where it is distributed by
4:49 am
a 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 cheating morocco gonna, they would try a, that's the opiate in south africa. but the potential is much bigger. they have suitable sites, almost everywhere. a 40 square meter net that 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 are kind of most marginalized within countries. so getting the attention there and the kind of start of 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 bog 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
4:50 am
amount of water we could safe by implementing it. leaking pipes are the reason we lose nearly 30 percent of full fresh water globally. that's a staggering 346000000000. lead is a day to put that in perspective, that's 13 times more than german households consumed per day, or more than $2000000000.00 desktops. a yeah, perfectly good water. we could use to drink, wash, clean, grow food. it's just being wasted. like sun quote, we have the full space, so we'll basically thomas, that was the time. this is lauren guy. he co founded the text of us, tara plum us is a bit of an understatement, a stair, a trex, lots of 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 within the sci fi, underneath the outside, into the soil,
4:51 am
into the pipe sale. so i'll go through is actually gain linking what we can say, phone space, even the water on the spot. so for like, for example, based on the death of 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 mostly the right. the results look like this. every dealt on this met, for example, is a leak. and here to at least of over a 120 meters per minute detected improper. it's elise and bunker for in chinese cities. estero sells 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 pipes, improving and renewing pipes and infrastructure is key to saving water. and then
4:52 am
any $40000000000.00 that going down the drain globally. how do you like your food? i like mine 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, vanilla costs, 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 themselves 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.
4:53 am
the market. this booming and dozens of new companies that's profiting like ok. so heinrich phones, it's top selling blend goes well with german bread. that's 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 money on the call with them. but there are a few other factors like the trend towards vegetarian food. one tends to must be just as if she budgetary knows often require more suffices. different spices involve unbelievable exit. people are also traveling more so there's more global trade, more personal exchanges between people. i thought maybe a 160 and that means the way we eat is becoming more diverse. creative it off. you
4:54 am
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 slice 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? hub, see because i needs this kid. yeah. i, i know if i stayed up with in the prices would be much more because of how so based on demand subsidized. if you cannot separate, i 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 is joined horses with other farmers to be able to sell his cloves for higher prices. going it alone usually means having middleman dictate the price is true craftsmanship for
4:55 am
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 as high as, who have a direct connection to the plantation on the farm. is that before placing an order, i take time to consider. what's the philosophy on how important is it to them to maintain a fast supply chain from paying the work? cuz all the way to how the actual product is growing. i know how to feel the town on this. this will be to expose the product for 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
4:56 am
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. it's good by and take care of the
