or the prices got any issues or thoughts say what the it also says and it just secuity is an issue from the kids to cairo, means live with all the electricity on those who are connected to the greed leave with frequent blackouts. welcome to a new edition of africa. i am sunbrook a home. is that coming to from complex right to and you're going to know,

let's say, a big hello to my colleague t. hi, chris. hi, sandra and hello to you. all of us. yes, m a g is off topic once again, both we are concentrating on solutions to the problem. things like renewable energy sources. i am chris alarms coming to you from nigeria, and this is what we have in store for you this week. also driven much and from jimmy will soon produce environmentally friendly cross products. and by the task up and you wrote best buy initial pharmacies. i'll come back to him for trade in excel . take wed like a photograph of ambrose, the to our shows of how animal port rates of the press 3 to protect the 1st 5 diversity. the energy translation can kind of feed africa in numerous ways. it eases dependence on the expensive climate damage in force. it feels on it

brings energy to remote regions, picky and easily. it also opens up new opportunities to find the thoughts sustainable systems. currently, many african countries upgrading or expanding the end of just act is this tap is a life saver every day. it gives people from nearby villages, clean water, something that can be taken for granted in this rural part of central ivory coast. okay. mariah by little by see there's no water in our village because there's no well, yep, that's why we come here to get the water. i mean, a little south, we'll just tell jenny c for on. so the water has to be pumped from the ground, but the area is off the electricity grid. instead. solar energy provides the power for the pump from small beginnings, 12 years ago. the settlement, which includes a religious center and the home for teenage girls now has full water towers and $24.00 solar panels with

a total output of $4500.00 watts. that's enough to power the drinking water lighting, refrigeration, and communications. would it be if it can fill out an email at the beginning, there was only one unit test because there was only one house to supply. this one up quite a. then came the girl center of money and after that the settlement expanded. okay . with 3 new buildings, suite part and a little bit and there were 2 more large buildings. and as time went on, we completed the installation. and that's why there are several solar panels arrays here, the bundle finance. it's not just ivory coast rule of good settlements, but also its urban areas that can benefit from renewable energy. the challenge is how to safety build up infrastructure and ensure reliable supply. in 2022 for professional associations, joint forces to form a federal ration. so they could speak to the government with one voice. for example, when it comes to dealing with surplus electricity, the sweat don't,

we'll just have stuff. we would like to see the sector authorize to feed electricity into the national grid to come up with these when you weren't able to consume all the solar energy you produce. and you can't diverted to the grid to lose out. and that reduces the added value of solar investments. and this is a month, oh my goodness. that's a pressing question for investors as ivory coast has pledged to increase the share of renewables and its energy mix to 45 percent by 2030. in the north of the country, the book the solar farm is the 1st of more than a dozen projects aimed at reaching that target. the 78 heck, the facility overseen by the state. on c, i energy cost $14000000.00 euros. it was made possible by a loan from germany's k f w development bank. and they've gone from the european union as the comb with aiming to produce

$5100.00 megawatts of electricity for cookies was including around $400.00 megawatts of solar power. we have a number of projects with private sector partners, but the bungee any power plant is the 1st to be built by the state to be are the power plant is expected to generate 37 megawatts of power enough to supply $30000.00 households per year. and such projects create more than just electricity . they boost employment. john says, all the women under represented in the green energy sector, the german development agency, g i is, it has set up a mentoring program to counter that. this energy project manager has taken a young student under her wing and is helping her to find an internship for one of you have to take these courses seriously and make the most of them by asking lots of questions. the electrical engineer says she remembers what her career thought was like, and really wants to see change as soon dumps. i mean, out of 15 engineers, i was the only woman that's already a problem right there,

from what we need to raise awareness more generally to tell women that it's possible to do this. g will focus, it simply seemed to fit in the pro fed mentoring project names to increase the proportion of women in the renewable sector from 25 percent to 40 percent in the near future. maybe you remember a report with the a few months ago about a co pay alex made the bush growth now young people in month of glasgow working on a project to produce and fire mentally friendly fuels from view new able sources, while the same time stopping trees from being cuts down, that is a crease. and the special thing about these projects is that german college students calibrating on the projects the young people from both countries. coming together to bring the project a step closer. how to make the most efficient growth pilot.

that's one focus if unions, process must, is basis at the center of innovative energy systems that just sort of university. julian is also working on cooking staves, to optimize the growth, pilot, fuel, and help reduce deforestation. and motor gasket the condition where it fits into the cohort and then we can just don't miss kansas glossy is wide spread in southern matic. s good wave. it enjoys rapid, robust growth, locals often, bennett, typically a fields a dangerous technique. the causes many wild 5 be occupied team identified mis comes across as a valuable resource and a source of income for residents. we are planning to make like a must seize mass production of these uh pallets. and at the same time, most production of the so specific spell that these a lot these a compatible with these uh pallets and the we are going to promote it in the whole

country. i mean, learning gemini, the students from decibels, university, aided by a local vocational school set to work on designing a solar powered pilot factory designs to enable the mass production, little tentative fuel and not a gas good shopping machine. how milton, the grass independent, the choice like treat can be dismantled to face into 2 shipping containments, with the production costs of some 70000 euros collected by a crowd funding all for if we just testing everything on the web, then to help build it, we'll send of a students who are working on the project on who are doing this, these, these on it, but yeah, martha, he is out today we worked with the school class to prepare the construction problem . for example, we pre drilled the roof from a so the on site to assembly will be easier. that way we would have to do and drilling down this and we can just screw it together, you know,

to them or solve missing. the pilot factory is destined and done and then go key in southern mother gasket the site was chosen because of the abundance of mrs. kansas across here on know me. well enough labor will not be in april. we normally start cutting and collecting grass again. see if see of law, this is the time when it grows everywhere. ha, payments, in case it rains after we've gotten the crust in april, and then we'll get a 2nd tom. and you need to follow up the on to mid 3. hundreds and the village will profit from this project. we're kids. yeah. and people weren't home the forest. any made mity shoot on most it will be replenished with and the situation will improve, have been has a 10 times. it'll start again on notice a $35.00 quino bag of chuckle costs full year rates, the same amount of gross pilots, just $3.00, which could help the new fuel cap shown. if we are successful out that the

suffering by the gifts god, then we are going to spread the plan to end the technical in the whole country. digital. if you need teen, have such a not for profit company to support the venture with the test phase successful, the pilot foot tree has been packed into the shipping containers. and it's expected to be set up in mount augusta in october to see what is all unique or the substance quenches. or thoughts helps us regulate heat on transport goods. we even flight to squeeze influx of it, because more and more people and also need access to these costs results. so through sandra, only 3 percent of the woods water result is a drink table. the rest, the selling agent polluted or an accessible evicted from gone,

is drawing attention to the value of this important results with an equally unique campaign. but tucker has put on his cascade made recycled swimsuit and his buddies . this women of 11 kilometers is it has been shall cover every day for 40 days. and that's an overall root of 450 kilometers. passing along the volta river and then to lake volta, the world's largest artificial reservoir. it's one of the few lakes in gunnar, that is so clean enough to swim is an activist in every business and type in a touch as part of a scientific expedition that's seeking to draw attention to the pollution of gunners, waterways. so much of the reason that i'm part of this expedition and working with a cruise to do this research is because it is so encouraging and so amazing to be able to swim and simple to river like this. and i love to see some buddies. and so on and specifically across the, the, some of the,

again step this started competing against environmental collusion some 8 years ago . and that's when she came into contact with the oil foundation and environmental justice nonprofit, that organized expedition other members of the team also spend time on the water to take samples from various points along the route. so here we can see that the color is very different from the rest of the water that we've been swimming along. so here is a green, it's really changes. i mean, it depends on the places where we, uh, if we are close to villages, for example, we will be collecting some samples for back to a logical text. if we are close to factories or industrial areas, we will be checking for heavy metals, for example. like yeah, the other villages better, which now has a number of industrial sides like the sun, mind, the pollution and creates, has had a devastating impact on the local fishing industry. the area is to have lots of

fish this. yeah. the overall look good. then all the fish are gone to is, you know, up to san minding and the leg has destroyed our livelihood cycle is. yeah, oklahoma, we are a fisherman. again, that's how we make a living and assessing and is your name. but now we even struggle to find enough fish to be in ourselves south and not the guidelines it got to offer. and the mining industry is not totally harming the environment. it also makes the process of clarifying drinking water much more expensive the spectrum what i would suit about the settlement. and so the principle generally the book and more often done a dispute so possible for meeting us on these forms also boost and the, the, the 2 of us will have to be back to around what time, what are we done? most of what we use and that's just one problem. chemicals and ways from

households in other industries. also a good time to watch uh along with many of 15000000 items of 2nd hand clothing except they're gone every week. well, the 50 percent of it ends up in huge weight feeds and across like good the old foundation is loving the government, but also wants to raise public awareness just how harmful the waste is. the important loading waste in particular. so many people don't even understand that we have a 2nd, i'm pulling and coming from the global to the global south, or that there are other issues that are affecting the policy of our water. so what we want to do is really hope to bring attention in awareness to the quality of the water and the issues that are today here to get people involved. this was the fact that the 1st 2 men contain is feeling tight but optimistic that one day given the laguna in across one.
