and using our shuttle on slicing. social loans, seeking his self determined life, douglas escaped from drudgery and abuse. the oldest fist on d. w. the sustainable, equal conscience, 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 lucy and 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'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 . if the white gold of the energy transition lift him, 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 as 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 global pro may be expert research fractions 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 in 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 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. 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 olivia, but to process it. and he wants to put lithium production under state control. if you middle with 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, what is the exploration exploitation and evaluating 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 all of that 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 till 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 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 in just the big players on the battery market like china

is a c, h, e l, the can theory. you could build out a supply chain in shelly, you know, kept out in an old production battery production, perhaps even alexis, vehicle production. but you know, the largest, the markets in the world are the, you and china. and they are also building out their own supply chains. and capacity so chilly 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 carpet and mentors for now looking to meet their climate goals. places like china, the us and the you, the various uh, really dividing line incomplete in this world drive towards the globalization.

because the global north, it's 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 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 worldwide by 2025. that figures such as the 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 art of commerce, salt, flat region. it's the world's largest lithium reserves, 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. chile has pledged to protect 30 percent of its land and 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 thought of guess going to i became a formula. 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. it was leading the way the inner 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. what is the product a 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 s. b, a sole says its energy. sieboldt will be pumped by underground pipelines to the utility companies plant. it's 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 is district heating 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. limits of the service 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 dell costs 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 price of c a 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 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 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, the excuse for us. oh, that's good. we 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, it is my meeting about just a dream agenda is a, is a, is a big product. 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 general. and 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 and the projects we are here at the end as probably we actually very close to a nature to this house in the area. we've got a unit squared habits area. and when we started talking about us c also 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 to see what's up with refrigerants as this, we spend an enormous amount of time figuring out in the meantime, those consent 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 tub for green hydrogen. the 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, or is 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. the final is hydrogen is shatelle producing another vehicle and not in the commercial ingredient manufacturing on the lines that we sell different levels. so i'm putting this past 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 group with every ton of ammonia generates out of natural gas. so we have made 2 metric tons of c o 2 green hydrogen

is generated using solar power in with 0 fossil energy. but the $3000.00 times now produced per year is less than a 10th of the amount required. what is the vision of the biggest problem that would kind in your to bring it down to product facility for an alliance between your 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 unimed pulse to that fontana. we have to have the ability as factory just ended, spain is turning into a hydrogen hub, as can be seen at the national hydrogen center, also located and partly on. the boom is no coincidence, explains the director programs get state backing that me able to talk a little up. i just thought there's also funding for the projects in the u. u i which is speeding things of low proficiency. actual only more or less. we have a lot of renewable energy in spain, we know, darling, and then another geographical advantage when it comes to the energy transition,

while the end, if that's equal in particular. and by 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 plans for green hydrogen, that goal has also attracted criticism skipped. but it's one of those, of course it 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 how many parts of the country mean for the campus. in the 7030 s more hydrogen requires more water. the facility and porter yano uses at least 9 leaders of h 2 o to produce one key low of green hydrogen. and this is in the drought stricken south of spain when i lost the limits one guy. lemme is whether we'll have enough water for everything or not just now, but in the future space. you know, according to forecasts that are climate change will mean it to 20 percent or less motoring the decades to come. i think 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 cover your extend type of hydrogen demand 2030 on and by producing 852818 1000000 cubic meters is not the same quantity that evaporates in spain alone every year from agricultural navigation on those and think that with the range of options available, fertilizer company therapy barrier is already thinking a step ahead of a tumble, i want to increase our capacities in order to harness the opportunities with green hydrogen on ammonia as a new energy sources indicated to the new market. ash involved medical, meaning that fertilizer make are fair to betty intense, to add clean energy to his 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. importantly, yano itself. a town that might soon come to symbolize the transition from coal and middle loyal to hydrogen. moving on from donald's 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 minimal living is gaining popularity. it'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 of fever actually trying to find

solutions, tiny houses, and 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 1200 years a month or an a pop mendelson is 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. so if it is an oven problem, not a rural one. the certain tiny house is also any relief to crowded city. is there even space for them in all concrete, jungles? as was on definitely more fun, but we might be able to come at a tony houses in the gardens, all called yards yet some particularly urban areas. that housing short inside the house on the thing that might help alleviate this thing is a little difficult, but the bone chuckle, a huge problem that we're facing the gun difficulty him to be a caught to. um it would ease things in an extremely marginal way. he might have

pets when shops of pets actually sort of they are. there are 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're done, i will all fall and you can also order the same story. muscles match for the stand . it's a few chess when you take an offer. i lost it mike crow apartment type cities should design the apartment through some beating tiny houses in the form of money to boots . that can be constantly adapted. environmentally friendly, mobile waste for simple trace and 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 for one minute useful. is on a 2nd factor that needs to be considered, is that a tiny house set from the needs quite

a lot of space on also on the tiny poles you don't cut. 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 golf. whereas if i construct an apartment building on like a house, a lot more people buy with a much smaller plot of land kind of go there. you'll 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 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 or, 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 was too much carrots and for example, they are retired. but where do they go?

usually the road on so called plain graveyards, not very sustainable. and business an ireland wants to change that. it's turning carpets into garden sheds, and plane cabins and to offices on the coast of ireland as known for its 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 athlete and sec. just find some of them. and the last, the fact they can sort of 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 just not 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 the cabins by the see here, everything rest, the windows and the bathrooms, the doors handles. everything rust so far with these are the things 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 space. the international ad tron support 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're going to strip in test shane, 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. an error code costs between 20 and 45000 bureaus depending on its size and features. were basically buying that on the last slice. we bought the fuselage sale as soon as it lands we have one ordered. so and everything else in 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 build a small house from a plane, paused in 2 to 3 weeks, including a kitchenette and a bathrooms. a tiny house 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 the big houses like we always did. you can't do it like, you know, you can't hate them. you know, you couldn't get signing conventional peer 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 easier they are to transport, making them mobile. that also makes them attractive for businesses attending trade fast. the 2 company founders are looking to further upgrade their designs and

recently hired their own architect. so 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 are 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 climate goals, we have to rethink and reinvent, but which new developments are really a colossal and which ones to sound like it? green or green washing? that was this big topics on maid. mother's the nice, thank you for watching. take care and see you next time the,
