character because of her courage and how she thinks. now serene. so today, wise mother annoyed for nearly 4 decades. she's for peace for me, for brace of freedoms in their homeland. they run in spite of love buried, cries all our children should not inherit science from us. the, an income, if you look into the nice stats, july 29th on d, w, the, the sustainable, equal conscious green walk into any store on your bound to hear or read these words . business has become all about being green. that includes brands and consumers,

but has everything really as green as it may seem. for example, our lithium batteries for electric vehicles, sure, or curse for the environment. that's the topic of this week's edition of made use business magazine. i'm of the xena. welcome. and these are some of the other stories we will be looking at. making waves how denmark is eating a city with the ocean, making a comeback, kind of former spanish coal town, become a hydrogen hub, and making it minimal, our tiny house of 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 mid size, the electric car, and as the the sector gather speed. so this demand for the metal,

lithium exporters like truly are scrambling to me to 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 the resources attraction 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 tons followed by 2, 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 kilos. 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 chilly for its 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 olivia, but to process it, and he wants to put lithium production under state control. 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?

the expectation and value adding efforts will be based on the principle of public private partnership. also, we hope you are. but what exactly does that mean? and sheila, all mineral deposits are owned by the state. and nearly always, it is distracted 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 chiles 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 is c h e l, the theory. so you could build out a supply chain in shelly, you know cath owed an annual production battery production, perhaps even the next vehicle production. but you know, the largest e b 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 varies. uh, really dividing line in conflict 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 carbon, a meeting to come. and the golf outside, so i can have, you know, more investment private investments. i can have more fun than i can have more state resources in 2020 some 10000000 e. b 's were on the road worldwide by 2025. that figures such as a nearly 80000000 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 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 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 beacon for 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 oil and gas to heat their homes. and denmark is 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 it's the product, a drop in the bucket, or a scalable solution. this is the new we'll 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 the world 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 vapor noise is 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 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 be present to use very cheap when we have a lot of wind, then the prices here fall to 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 meat of because the all that this is that this might meeting about just a written 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 forward to use 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 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 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 war, and especially if that was a leak, it's all contamination of the sea water 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 proud to 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 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, but can leave the final is hydrogen is shatelle producing another vehicle and not in the commercial ingredient. manufacturing on the other line is that we sell different levels. so i'm putting this task a single furnace. currently it needs natural gas to create the $40000.00 tons of

hydrogen the year needed. import the yano in a climate and friendly process. got the nickel grip with every ton of ammonia generates out of natural gas. so we have made to metric tons of c o 2 green hydrogen is generated using solar power in with 0 fossil energy. but the $3000.00 tons, now produce per year is less than a 10th of the amount required. one of the of this is the biggest part of its kind in your template, kind of part of the facility for an alliance between ipads or on 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. we have to have 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 project seem to you which is

speeding things of low proficiency as well. only more or less, we have a lot of renewable energy and stain. we know the geographical advantage when it comes to the energy transmission while the in effect 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? you know, this development in spain is a real level, how many cases are necessary just and it leads to conflict with the residents and of any parts of the country. and we import 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 $2.00 oh, to produce one key 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 nama. i mean to, i'm gonna say kick on fields that we expect to be able to cover your extend tie and hydrogen demand 2030 on. and by producing a 15218000000 cubic meters is not the same quantity that evaporates in spain. alone every year from agricultural navigation on those things up with the range of options available. fertilizer company safety 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 sources. and to k, to, to the new market. ash involved medical. meaning that fertilizer make are fair to betty a intends to add clean energy to its product range. and there will be no shortage

of customers in spain alone. existing refineries and still words 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 those big emissions to more moto 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 minima 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. there minimalism is meant to solve big problems from housing shortages to wasting resources. but it's less,

really more is a global housing shortage right now. people are feverish me trying to find solutions. tiny houses, i'm 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 or do you or is a month for an apartment or is this uh, it's very snow, but i think we carry too much around with us anyway. hope the problem is where to put them. there aren't many sites housing solicitors are in of in 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 what a tiny houses in the gardens or cold yards yet, particularly at other navigate housing shorts inside the house on that thing that

might help alleviate. the thing is a little difficult, but it won't chuckle a 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 stored up to 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 match for the stand. it's a few chess when you take an offer. i lost his micro apartment type of solution, design the apartment through some beating tiny houses in the form of money that builds, 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. so i'm wondering if you still,

it is all a 2nd product needs to be considered homes. is that a tiny house set on the needs quite a lot of space on the also on a tiny hole. so you don't part 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 for making the dollars. whereas if i construct an apartment building on like a house, a lot more people like with a much smaller plot of land kind of, you know, they have to be thinking about some issues. definitely, i mentioned we'll talk about the tiny house movement is about more than just addressing housing shortages. it's a lifestyle one that is about owning less, as well as enjoying more freedom of the mind. if i want to live on the bolting coast tomorrow, good, just to touch a hitch and head off, i would assume that any one of us thinks like that. our next report could serve as an inspiration for a tiny house construction. sustainability is also

a big buzz word in the ation industry in plains is too much keris and for example, they are retired. but where do they go? usually they rode on so called plain 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 it's 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 warm or find shelter. in one of these up cycles applied section science and all of them and the love the fact that can sort of appear on the bank and looking at it at that to see they 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 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 things fantastic, you know, no rust and no meant. and so my, we thank you very, very good investments. there are acros, graveyards all over the world like this one and to how to 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 the pods is more important than ever. so you want to strip, it does change. so once in an cabin rag and other brains behind the so called error pods, they came up with the idea 2 years ago since then. they've towed more than that, the aircraft parts into god and sheds mobile offices and holiday homes. as 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 use 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 care 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 as huge as getting that we have to hearing from 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 planning 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 small of the parts, the easy, they are to transport,

making them all move out. but it also makes them attractive for businesses attending trade, says the 2 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 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 collage of coal and the which one's the sound like it green or green washing that was this week's topic on maid mother's enough,

thank you for watching. take care and so your next time the

be your own health advocate or by turning into your own expert queen or your coach without any fiction and lots of back. reactive clever way.

on d w. so many portions of lots of turn out in the world right now, the climate change. if any, come from the story. this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to act. ongoing success. subscriber for moving is like the, the

old we can be the generation, the ends that feel good. malaria must die. so millions can live the,

you're watching the, the news, why? but from berlin, south africa, the size of lot of your approved and won't attends next month. and breakfast on that in person. south africa would have been obligated to arrest the russian presidents under international law. also coming up on the south, ukraine describes a 2nd night of russian missile strikes on a desk.
