the one move back eventually goes, facing the country's features to the prospect guessing pushed back even from their own family because it showed 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

green, that includes brands and consumers, but it's everything really as green as it may seem. for example, our lithium batteries for electric vehicles of 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 up and making it minimal, our tiny house of the solution to our problems. as the wife, gold of the energy transition lift you. 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 mid sized electric car and is the e v sector gather speed? so there's 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 edward research fractions to the cardboard theater, 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 it evaporates in 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, and sheila, 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 $61000.00 tons, follow by to a china in argentina. around 130000 tons of lithium were produced globally at home. but that's not nearly enough. by 2028 will need 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 and 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 the leasing better rece. we can really build power full and small and low weight, betral res, as compared to other electro chemical elements. chile for it's part, wants to raise a share of the mobility boom. in late april chili's president announced his new national lithium strategy. he wants the country to not only extract olivia, but to process it. and he wants to put lithium production under state control. and if you middle with a fellow but 60, by the 1st, the state will participate in the entire production cycle of this monroe by establishing a national lithium company. and 2nd, what's the exploration exploitation and value adding efforts will be based on the

principle of public private partnership. also, we hope you are what, what exactly does that mean and show a all mineral deposits are owned by the state? and nearly always, it 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 for riches 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 export or 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 against the big players on the battery market like china's c h e l, the theory. so you could build out a supply chain in shelly, you know, cathode and, and production battery production. perhaps even the next 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 credit 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 carbon emitters. 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 global new station . because the global north is asking the global south to make the effort to deepen resource extraction in order to the cardboard nice. they're highly card when the meeting to come. and the golf outside, so i can have, you know, more investment private investments. i can have more employment. i can have more state resources in 2020 some, 10000000 e. b 's were on the road worldwide by 2025. that figure is set to be nearly $80000000.00. sheila wants to expand lithium production to new regions while doing more to help protect the environment.

and tell me simply the extraction in the country has been limited to the audit comma salt, flat region. it's the world's largest lithium reserve extracting the commodity from brian 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. the chile has pledged to protect a 30 percent of its land in marine territory by 2030 and to look for new techniques for lithium extraction. they, they, i will kind of make ideas 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 see the guess only i in the on 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 ditch orland gas to heat their homes. and denmark is leading the way the danish city on the north sea, a 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 it's the product of drop in the bucket or a scalable solution. this is the new will see in the future. this will be with the danish city of espia. sophie is its energy. sieboldt will be pumped by

underground pipelines to the utility companies plant. about 14000 cubic meters an hour. yeah, 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 well from the sea water. ultimately, the water inside the city's district heating network 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 being compressed. further increasing its temperature, wind farms of the danish coast to provide the power to operate the compresses the most of the circuits in the city, especially on the hopper, is on wind turbines. so you can say this project with using a lot of electricity,

windows and excess electricity helps of integrate more renewable into the, to the grid. it also enables us to provide c, p, so our customers with the cost of also happy about. so this is something this, in the sense that the heat we produce when they make frequencies very cheap when we have a lot of wind, then the prices here fall till close to 0. the project was this mom's idea. the foundation in denmark is that we have a district key thing system. so that was already uh, the connection in the city. we can introduce 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 system up to no s p a, and it's a 100000 residents. upward light. when a coal fired power plant now is district pete supply is going to run of green energy. so we got to the locals. think it's good furniture,

an excuse for us. oh, that's good. we like that. yeah. cost. as long as it's an environmental good, we should the bar of our traditional made of because the all that this is that this might meeting about just a great dream agenda is a, is a, is a big project. 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 big installations, big constructions, everybody in general, 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 cons, good profit out of it's very environmental obstacles under projects. we are here at

the and that is probably we actually very close to a nature 2000 area. we go to units compared heritage area. and when we started talking about us, see was a based heat pump. we actually 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 happened with the civil war. and especially if that was a leak, it's all contamination of the sea water with refrigerants. and this, we spend an enormous amount of time figuring out in the meantime, those concerns being addressed. and all parties involved hoping that the heat pump system can go into operation. this 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 groundbreaking project after coal and oil shale. 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 be the final is hydrogen is shatelle producing another vehicle and not in the commercial ingredient. manufacturing comes out to allies that we sell different levels. so i'm putting this past a single shanice. 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. got the nickel group with every ton of ammonia generation, with natural gas. we have meant to metric tons of c o 2 green hydrogen is generated using solar power and with 0 fossil energy. but the $3000.00 times now produced per year is less than a 10th of the amount required. one of the of this is the biggest plan that we've kind in euro template kind of part of the facility for an alliance between the bed or 50 bed. yeah. like the idea idea is supposed to go from 20 megawatts in to $800.00 in total input to yano impala. fontana way affect the ability aspect to reach the ended spain is turning into a hydrogen hub, as can be seen at the national hydrogen center. also located from port to ya know, the boom is no coincidence. explains the director programs get state backing. they'll be able to talk a little. but just that there's also funding for the projects in the you,

which is speeding things of low proficiency as well. only more less, we have a lot of renewable energy in spain. we know the geographical advantage when it comes to the energy transmission while the set equal in particular. and now, 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 with the plants for green hydrogen, that goal has also attracted criticism. skip what is the numbers of the codes that can be a good solution for all the industries that have no other options here that this development in spain is a real bubble, in many cases, unnecessary discretion. and it leads to conflict with the residents and many parts of the country and we bought them this in the 7030 s more hydrogen requires more water. the facility and part of the use is at least 9 leaders of h 2 o to produce one t low of green hydrogen. and this is in the drought stricken south of spain. when i lost the letter, must be the one that i am

a is whether we'll have enough water for everything or not just now, but in the future. no. can i speak? and according to forecasts that are climate change will mean that the 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 fields that we expect to be able to cover your ex and tie and hydrogen demand 2030 on. and by producing a 150 to urge them 18000000 cubic meters, is not the same quantity that evaporates in spain alone every year from agricultural navigation on those and think that with a range of options available, fertilizer company therapy barrier is already thinking a step ahead of attendance, we want to increase our capacities in order to harness the opportunities with green hydrogen and ammonia as a new energy source. and i went on to k to, to the new market. ash involved medical, meaning that fertilizer maker fair to betty intends to add clean energy to its

product range. and there will be no shortage of customers in spain alone. existing refineries and still work 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 in portfolio itself. a town that might soon come to symbolize the transition from coal and mineral oil to hydrogen. moving on from proxy on those big emissions to our motto, straightens existing as little space as possible. that's what living in a city feels like for many often there is no other choice, but recently embracing minimal living is gaining popularity. that's the idea behind so called tiny houses, the many homes bend from 8 to 50 square meters. they are cheap, practical, and said to be sustainable. they're 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 me 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 a button, as a 1st time home, i don't want to shut out 1002, the gear as a month for an apartment or is this the? it's very snow, but i think we carry too much around with us any way that we should have put the problem is where to put them. there aren't many sites housing. so if it is an urban problem, not a rural one. the so tell, tiny house is also any relief to crowded city. is there even space for them in our concrete jungles as was on the bottom, but we might be able to come with a tiny houses in the gardens or cold yards yet. and particularly at urban areas that housing short,

the tiny house on the thing that might help alleviate the thing is a little difficult, but it won't take all the huge problem that we're facing. the gun difficulty him just to be a caught to um it would ease things in an extremely marginal why he might have put that switch off the pets. actually sort of the other often, many vacant lot step boom. and you can use a crane to hoist them into dice and fill the empty space in cities. it done, i will follow. you can also order the same story, muscles from batch for the stand. it's a few chess when you take an offer. i lots of micro apartment type facilities should design the apartment through some beating tiny houses in the form of money that boats that can be constantly adapted. environmentally friendly, mobile waste voice. if we're chasing 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 building. commercially available, tiny houses use up to 7 times more energy per person for one minute useful. this is

all a 2nd provider that needs to be considered homes. is that a tiny house set from the needs quite a lot of space on also on the dining halls. as you can imagine, if i build a lot of small buildings, then it takes up a lot of space for it was up to 101 for making the dollars. whereas if i construct an apartment building on like a house, a lot more people buy it with a much smaller plot of land kind of, you know, they have to be thinking about some issues. 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 with a mind. if i want to live on the bolting coast tomorrow, i could just attach a hitch and head off. i would assume that any one of us thinks like, that's what our next report could serve as an inspiration for a tiny house construction. sustainability is also

a big buzz word 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 gardens of and playing cabins and to offices because of all and is known for it's unpredictable west. one minute it's sunny then next it's raining. anyone wanting to watch the waves and needs to wrap up the pool or find shelter in one of these up psycho applied and sec. just find some of them and the love to find the console appear on the bank and looking at it at that the see the can watch people surfing, they can watch people's funding and there's just none here. and the comfort of this, the sand house to tell them don't the going on, is the problem own of to for 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 things fantastic, you know, no rust and no meant. and so we think of very, very good investments there are acros, graveyards all over the world like this one and tad well space. the international ad transport association estimates that $700.00 planes go out to service every year . and the numbers rising, finding ways to reuse that thoughts is more important than ever. so you want a strip of done change. so once in and cabin, 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. an error code costs between 20 and 45000 bureaus 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 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 be flying again and, and the likes of what we're doing here. we're basically using nearly easy percent of everything in the plan. someone's on the bottom doesn't show the rules and flow need more insulation into how it has to be re wyatt. special appear there. sure. and what do you like on that side? the stuff up can, even though the small house from our plane paused in 2 to 3 weeks, including a kitchenette and the bathrooms. tiny houses in america in the states is huge and it's getting that we have to hear even, you know, people realize now that we can't build a big house just like we always did, you can't do it like, you know, you can't hate them. you know, you couldn't get signing commission up here to build massive structure. and so these were absolutely ideal, you know, during the winter and then pick a storm. you can set them here. you don't hear a thing, no movement, no, and anything. the smaller the pulse, the easy, they are to transport,

making them all move out, but also makes them attractive for businesses attending trades. this the to company founders are looking to further upgrade their designs and recently hire their own architect. we have a lot of interest from the corporate market now. so we've hired guys and come in and do all our new designs. so for the corporate in, for their offices or, or and for people that's 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 colossal and the which ones the sound like it green or green washing? that was the 6 topic on maid mother's enough. thank you for watching. take care and
