removed bags and eventually goes facing the country's features to the prospect guessing pushed back in from their own families and shrugged on slicing social loans. seeking his self determined life, douglas escaped from drudgery and abuse. the oldest fis on dw, the sustainable, equal conscience, green walk into any store, and you are bound to hear or read. these words. business has become all about being

read, that includes brands and consumers, but it's everything really as green as it may seem. for example, our lithium batteries for electric vehicles, i'm sure or curse for the environment. that's the topic of this week's edition of made use business magazine i mother xena. welcome. and these are some of the other stories we will be looking at. making waves how denmark is heating a city with the ocean, making a come back, kind of former spanish coal town, become a hydrogen hub and making it minimal. our 20 houses, the solution to our problems. it's the white gold of the energy transition. lithium . that's because lift him is a crucial ingredient for rechargeable batteries. specifically for those sound and electric vehicles, around 8 kilograms of lift him are needed for midsize the electric car. and as the e sector gather speed. so this demand for the metal,

lithium exporters like truly are scrambling to meet offers. business is booming, but how sustainable is the trade around sustainability? a lithium is essential to electric vehicle batteries. the global run on this raw material is well underway. the global north tuscan being the, make the effort, the resources and directions to the cardboard. they are highly carpeted. but is that really true? is the shift to e mobility coming at the expense of the global south? and why does chile want to bring its lithium companies under state control? in latin america, lithium is extracted from underground fines. the process is straightforward and profitable. the salt rich water is come to the surface and large ponds where to bath rates and the sun that can take up to 2 years. the salt water is in filter to extract the lithium,

a basic component in battery production. there's more than enough lithium in the world. the world's largest lithium reserves are in bolivia, argentina in july. the lithium triangle. 53 percent of all deposits are located there. when it comes to lithium extraction, australia leads the way in 2022. it mind around 61000 tons, followed by to a china and argentina, around 130000 tons of lithium were produced globally at home. but that's not nearly enough. by 2028, we'll meet 8 times as much lithium, mainly for rechargeable batteries and smartphones, laptops and wind turbines. not to mention the vehicles a single mid size european car needs about 7 to 8 q us. lithium goes into the battery, which stretches nearly the length of the chassis. it's what allows the

battery to charge and discharge without lift the there's no electricity flow and the current one drives. the advantage of leasing them is that it's really light and also has a small volume. this means step with a leasing better rece. we can really build power full and small and low way better res, as compared to other electro chemical elements. chilly for it's part wants to raise a chair of the mobility boom. in late april chili's president announced his new national lithium strategy. he wants the country to not only extract the lithium, but to process it. and he wants to put lithium production under state control. if you middle what a fellow about 60, but 1st, the state will participate in the entire production cycle of this monroe by establishing a national lithium company and 2nd towards the exploration exploitation and value

adding efforts will be based on the principle of public private partnership. also, when you are but what exactly does that mean? and sheila, all mineral deposits are owned by the state. and nearly all of that is extracted by 2 of the world's largest lithium companies, s q m. 's lease runs out in 2030 while us own all the models runs until 2043. afterwards the state will receive a majority stake in all new contracts under president bar, which is proposed policy. historically, most of july's lithium has been processed elsewhere, mainly in china. china is the world's biggest with the importer and also the 2nd largest exporter. the asian country dominates the refining industry, and lithium ion battery manufacturing. it's by far the leader accounting for 79 percent of lithium ion battery production capacity worldwide,

followed by the us congress and poland. how realistic is it for a country like chile to develop its own production industry, given that it's competing, just the big players on the battery market like china is c h, e l, the theory you could build out a supply chain in shelly, you know, cathode and an old production battery production, perhaps even alexis, vehicle production. but you know, the largest e v markets in the world or the, you and china. and they are also building out their own supply chains and capacity . so chile would probably be competing to try to export any, any manufacturing into those very crowded and very competitive market. so no, i don't think it would work. so as to like going to be relegated to a supplier of raw materials for the big global carpet. and mentors. we're now looking to meet their climate goals, places like china, the us and the you. the varies uh,

really dividing line incomplete in this world drive towards the organization. because the global north is asking to go south to make the effort to deepen resource extraction in order to the cardboard nice. they're highly card when a meeting you come and the most out says so i can have, you know, more investment for an investment. i can have more employment. i can have more state resources. in 2020 some 10000000 e. b 's were on the road world wide by 2025. that figures set to be nearly $80000000.00. sheila wants to expand lithium production to new regions. while doing more to help protect the environment, until recently the extraction in the country has been limited to the art of

commerce, salt, flat region. it's the world's largest lithium reserve. extracting the commodity from brine, emits comparatively little c o 2. but it does consume huge amounts of water and that's depleting. vital ground water supplies, wetlands are being drained and delicate eco systems are at risk. chile has pledged to protect 30 percent of its land in marine territory by 2030 and to look for new techniques for lithium extraction. they, they, i kind of like the idea is to look for more modern methods, such as direct extraction of lithium to reduce the use of water now and for the state to provide communities with a more active role. so that they can also share and as well, so like indigenous communities, for example, if i'm to be, when i, when they probably get going to i and we can afford on a of the problem is that new techniques are not yet being used commercially.

and it's unclear when they'll be ready for use but one thing is clear, e mobility is booming and shield a hoops to profit from the trend. but it's not clear what will be chillies, priority, maximizing, state profits or protecting the environment or whether the government manages to find a good balance between the 2. european countries are locked in a race race to bits orland gas to heat their homes and denmark, those leading the way the danish city on the north sea swapping fossil fuels with the ocean. 100000 inhabitants will soon keep their homes with sea water. that's thanks to a heat pump developed by a german business. but as the project a drop in the bucket or a scalable solution, this is the new will see in the future. this will be where the danish city of s. b, a sole sees its energy. sieboldt will be pumped by underground pipelines to the

utility companies clouds. it's about 14000 cubic meters an hour here that just completing the assembly of a huge heat pump manufactured by m a n energy solutions. wind will generate the electricity needed to run the system that will provide the city with heat. heat exchanges transfer about 2 to 3 degrees celsius of the world from the sea water. ultimately, the water inside the city is district teaching that work is heated up to a temperature of 90 degrees. liquid carbon dioxide circulating in the heat pump is warmed up by the sea water and vaporizes. the c o 2 is then compressed further increasing its temperature. wind farms of the danish coast provide the power to operate the compresses. most of the activity in the city especially on the hopper is wind turbines. so you can say this project with using a lot of electricity,

windows and excess electricity helps us integrate more renewable into the, to the grid. it also enables us to provide c p, so our customers would fail also. so happy about. so this is something this, in the sense that the heat we produce when de macpherson cheese very cheap, when we have a lot of wind, then the price to see a fall, so close to 0. the project was this months idea the, the foundation in denmark is that we have a district key thing system. so that was, is already, uh, the connection in the city. we can produce the heat at one place and distribute it to the, to the houses all over the city. i think this is a very, very big explanation on why denmark is on the full front uh on the screen from up to now, s p a and it's a 100000 residents, upward light on a coal fired power plant. now is district peak supply is going to run of green energy. so we got to the locals, think it's called furniture. the exclusive foss. oh,

that's good. you like that? yeah, of course. as long as it's an environmental good. we should the big our, our traditional meat of because the all that this is that this might meeting about just a great dream agenda is a, is a, is a big problem. yeah. but actually implementing the project was not without its challenges. there's always a lot of a fault is that has to move into the when you do a big installations, big constructions button in generally we have this teaching the law which is almost 40 years old and denmark saying that these, the district key thing systems, the money has to be used internally, do kind of good profit out of it's very environmental obstacles into projects. we

are here at the and that is probably we actually very close to a nature 2000 area. we go to unit squared habits, it's area. and when we started talking about us, see water based heat pump, we actually can send you a hard, he's didn't really take that much interest in the machine itself. but they were very most interesting what, what happens with the civil and especially if that was a leak, it's all contamination of the see what's on with refrigerants. i'm says, we spend an enormous amount of time figuring out in the meantime, those concerns have been addressed. and all parties involved hoping that the heat pump system can go into operation is full the cities reinventing themselves to go green. that's not just happening in denmark and the spanish city of perhaps a yano dreams of an emission free future are also being born. perhaps we all know

used to be a hot spot for coal mining. then for chemical production today it's changing course . it wants to become your biggest hub for green hydrogen renewable is being held as a miracle ingredient. and the energy transition. planes, industry and cars are meant to go green with hydrogen. we had a closer look at the small city with big goals. this innocuous looking site is home to a ground breaking project. after coal and oil shell. now, natural gas and mineral oil are also set to be displaced by green hydrogen. but there's still a long road ahead as the undertaking is only just beginning right here in this fertilizer factory. what can leave the panel is hydrogen is shatelle producing another vehicle and thought into the commercial ingredient of the money factor the to lies that we sell different levels. so i'm putting this past a single field. this currently,

it needs natural gas to create the $40000.00 tons of hydrogen a year needed in puerto yano in a climate and friendly process. at the am wonderful cup, with every turn of ammonia generation, with natural gas, we a meant to metric tons of c o 2 green hydrogen is generated using solar power and with 0 fossil energy. but the $3000.00 tons now produced per year, is less than a 10th of the amount required when it was the vision of the biggest problem of its kind in euro to bring it down to product facility for an alliance between e bedford or on 50 betty f, like the idea is for us to go from 20 megawatts here to $800.00 in total in parts of yano unimed pulse to that fontana with 30 ability as factory just ended, spain is turning into a hydrogen hub, as can be seen at the national hydrogen center also located from portly yano. the boom is no coincidence. explains the director programs get state backing that me able to talk a little. i just thought there's also funding for the projects in the u, which is speeding things up low proficiency as well. only more or less, we have

a lot of renewable energy in spain. we know 1000, and then the geographical advantage when it comes to the energy transition, while the set equal in particular. and i know over the next 2 years, spain is that to build more wind and solar power facilities, with a total capacity of $35.00 gigawatts. the equivalent of $25.00 nuclear power plants . but together was the plans for green hydrogen. that goal has also attracted criticism. it's good, but it's one of those, of course it can be a good solution for all the industries that have no other options here. and this development in spain is a real bubble in many cases, unnecessary discretion. and it leads to conflict with residents and many parts of the country. and we import them this in the $7030.00 us more hydrogen requires more water the facility and partly on a uses at least 9 leaders of h 2 o to produce one to low of green hydrogen. and this is in the drought stricken south of spain. when i love the lay, my said one that i'm

a is whether we'll have enough water for everything. i mean, not just now, but in the future. no. can i speak? and according to forecasts several climate change will mean to 20 percent less motoring the decades to accommodate that for the engineers and researchers at the national hydrogen center. and the water is not a problem the, you know, i mean, i'm gonna say kick on seeing that we expect to be able to come to us in time, hundreds and amount of 2030 on. and by producing 852818 1000000 cubic meters is from the same quantity that operates in spain alone every year from agricultural navigation on those and think that with the range of options available, fertilizer companies, their t barrier is already thinking a step ahead of time when we want to increase our capacities in order to harness the opportunities with green hydrogen and ammonia as a new energy sources indicated to the new market. there are some old medical meaning that fertilizer maker fair to betty intends to ad clean energy to his product range. and there will be no shortage of customers in spain alone. existing

refineries and still works, need green hydrogen in the hundreds of thousands of tons per year with other new industries. now also joining them. there are plans for a new hydrogen powered still works here. importantly, yano itself. a town that might soon come to symbolize the transition from coal and mineral loyal to hydrogen. moving on from down those big emissions to more moto straightens existing, as little space as possible. that's what living in a city feels like from many, often. there is no other choice, but recently embracing minimal living is gaining popularity. it's the idea behind so called tiny houses, the many homes bend from age to 50 square meters. they are cheap, practical, and said to be sustainable. there minimalism is meant to solve big problems from housing shortages to wasting resources. but it's less,

really more there is a global housing shortage right now. people are feverish, the trying to find solutions. tiny houses on just small. they also have the potential to be practical, green and affordable, and they're growing in popularity. as well as a 1st time home. i don't want to shut out 1200 years a month for an apartment. it's very snow, but i think we carry too much around with us anyway. but the problem is where to put them there aren't many sites housing shortages are in of in problem, not a rural one. the so 10 tiny house is also any relief to crowded city. is there even space for them and concrete jungles? as was on definitely more fun, but you might be able to accommodate tony houses in the gardens all courtyards. yet some particularly at urban areas. that housing short decided house on the thinking

that might help alleviate the things that on the vehicle. but he both chuckled a huge problem that we're facing the gun difficulty him to get caught to, um it would ease things in an extremely modern no way. he might have put that switch up those pets actually sort of stay out there. often, many vacant lot step boom. and you can use a crane to hoist them into the ice and fill the empty space in cities. you have done, i will all fall. no, you can also order the same story. muscles match for the stand, it's a few chest we need taken off or i lost it for mike crow, a pop now type cities should design a apartment through some beeping. tiny houses in the form of money to boots that can be constantly adapted, environmentally friendly, mobile waste for several tracing systems, there are a constant stream of innovations that claim to reduce the carbon footprint of tiny houses. but it's small, really sustainable, tiny, oldest diesel impact on the bottom available. commercially available, tiny houses use up 7 times more energy per person. so i'm wondering if the football

is on a 2nd floor. so that needs to be considered. is that a tiny house set on the needs quite a lot of space on also on the timing goals, you don't, as you can imagine, if i build a lot of small buildings, then it takes up a lot of space to if it was up to 101 commission, but whereas if i can start to an apartment building almost like a house, a lot more people like with a much smaller plot of land. try me over the place is definitely i mentioned something about the tiny house movement is about more than just addressing housing shortages. it's a lifestyle long that is about owning less, as well as enjoying more freedom of the mind. if i want to live on the bolting coast, i'm more of the mortgage just to touch a hitch and head off with the thing that any one of us things like that or an extra ford could serve as an inspiration for a tiny house construction. sustainability is also

a big buzzword in the ation industry and plains. there's too much care us and for example, they are retired. but where do they go? usually they rode on so called plane graveyards, not very sustainable. and business an ireland wants to change that. it's turning carpets into garden sheds, and play and cabins, and to offices on the coast of ireland as known for its unpredictable west. one minute it's sunny. the next. it's raining. anyone wanting to watch the waves and needs to wrap up warm or find shelter. in one of these up cycles athlete infected science, loved them, and the love to find the console appear on the bank and looking at it at that the see that can watch people surfing, they can watch people's funding and there's none here. and the comfort of this, the sand house to tell them don't the going on, is the proud own of to full my across cabins. by the see here,

everything was the windows and the bathrooms. the doors handles everything. a rust so far with these are the pain, fantastic, you know, no rust and no meant. and so we think a very, very good investment there are acros, graveyards all over the world like this one and tad, well stay. the international ad transport association estimates that $700.00 planes go out of service every year. and the numbers rising, finding ways to reuse that thoughts is more important than ever. so you want to strip, it does change. so once in and kevin recognize the brains behind the so called error pods, they came up with the idea 2 years ago since then. they've told moved inside the aircraft parts into god and sheds mobile offices and holiday homes. and airport costs between 20 and 45000 euros depending on its size and features, were basically buying that on the last place. we bought the fuselage sale as soon as it lands we have one ordered so and everything us and the plan has been recycled

and sent all over the world to to be read on the some of us going back into plans to refer to flying again. and, and the likes of what we're doing here. we're basically use nearly easy percent of everything in the plan. someone's on the bottom doesn't show the rules and flow need more installation and the hall has to be re wyatt, special paid their sion. what do you like on that side? the stuff up can even build a small house from a plane, paused in 2 to 3 weeks, including a kitchenette and a bathrooms. a tiny houses in america in the states is huge and it's getting that we're to hear even, you know, people realize now that we can't build a big house just like we always did, we can't do it like, you know, you can't hate them. you know, you couldn't get signing permission up here to build massive structure as so these were absolutely ideal, you know, during the winter and the biggest storm you can set on here. you don't hear a thing, no movement, no, and anything. the smaller the pulse,

the easier they are to transport, making them all move out. that also makes them attractive for businesses attending trades. this the to company founders are looking to so the upgrade the designs and recently hire their own architect. so we have a lot of interest from the corporate market now. so we've hired guys to come in and do all our new designs. so for the corporate in, for their offices or, or, and for people as doing expos in the future, they also hope to break into the why the european market. after world, the heating costs a high that to the coast in many areas, equally rough to reach our client goals, we have to rethink and reinvent, but which new developments are really a clauser cool and which ones the sound like it green or green washing? that was this big topic on maid. mother's the not thank you for watching. take care
