a multi tasking, diesel modern message, because if we do too much, we get it all wrong. we mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking. want to now on youtube, v. w documentary. the can organic oil fuel a green a future is the question that has scientists split visit method to use plants and animal products to power planes will put them on people as flights. we look into the details shortly. what's that coming up on this edition of made data? we use business magazine, we're in texas with windham started a plan, so creating

a storm guessing connective what's holding back renewables in germany and kind of eastern europe for power. the confidence to comp, revolution, stage change that all of that, but 1st, come pigs help you fly. the idea of using facts from the animals as jet fuel is gaining ground, but not without quoting control. the c plants and animal waste all seen as potential sources of clean power. but is it right or even realistic? the time about flying from paris to new york with the equivalent of 9000 pigs in your tank. one environmental great. what town? lots. what it would take to fuel a plane. it was that distance picks probably not the font which can be used in aviation field. it's something that you're clean. union wants to see more of in the

future. we use animal fats because the level of quality animal fats are relatively easy to convert into sustainable aviation fuel and also diesel. and the processing equipment that we have is, is a relatively searchable with some adapt taishan to, to type those feed stocks. so man, i like ryan a one to start using animal fun to as soon as possible. but no life still can be slow to tough field. instead of plots is to be taken from meat industry waste and then added to old and new kerosene. but why go to the trouble? there is a growing demand to use animal fat india vision sector of with the new mandates for refueling you, because they will be counted as sustainable aviation fuels. refill e u is a political agreement aimed at cutting c o. 2 emissions from aviation across the

european union pun using audible funds is closer to industries that rely on unable thoughts for the production like the cosmetics and food industries. i'm worried that wouldn't be enough to go around. talk through pick stone fell on trees . of course. the problem is that the more you direct them to batches reduction. so the bigger issue you have for these in this is the have to find the benefits. very awesome, you'll 7 inches of vegetable arms and these are almost most of the from well, um that has the cheapest option available and having the most similar properties done. im affects have issues connected to the for a station to um schuman rides foundations and many other programs. many environmental risk via palm oil could become the number one alternative, low palm oil means mohammed oil times patients, which usually come at the expense of the rain forest. it's important to note as

well that the european commission recognizes that and that the regulation being develops, the aides and refill you aviation sets a cap of 3 percent of animal fat, the ride sustainable aviation field. however, this translates according to our reputations, to more than $1000000.00 tons of additional animals, but ultimately flying less may be the only way to bring down carbon emissions across here. it nothing is bad to say that not everyone's been persuaded of the need for a green energy revolution. resistance is perhaps strongest in places that have built a reputation around fossil fuels, for example, america's oil producing power house, texas. however, it may surprise you to hear that more wind and solar energy plants are being built there than anywhere else in the us. but not all of the local was a happy to see the to binds and panels popping up

everything's bigger in texas. they say, no doubt, when it comes to renewable clean energy. this rings true. no other place in the us as more wind and solar energy plans and projects than the so called lone star state . in the past those large areas. landscapes, those huge privately owned farms and kettle ranches for which texas is also famous for gave way for more and more equally massive wind turbine and solar panel projects all over the state. but that's known, this is micheal pick up and we're meeting the grandson of american business magnate pickens. it just seems like the texas one and a half hour drive east of that. michael is accessing a group of land owners who will post or renewable energy projects in the account. come on is our house. michael is fighting in g french multinational utility companies and their plan to expand to solar panel farm,

which is already in the works right next to his family's property. the joke was that it's, you know, it's, it's bottom land, east texas, bottom land. and you know, there's not much you can grow out here. you can run small cap cal operations, but it's just, are very quiet. uh, you know, isolated the, you know, once the solar started coming in one. so in this case, angel came to dykes to build a solar farm and nightmare began picking said, he's taking us on a little tour to show us that it's massive solar farm in his county and id simons. and for the people who live around. so here's my continued house, you know, and they're just right here behind me. how much is his land worth? now, you think anybody wants to come by his little one acre when he got this serious, he won't even come outside his house anymore. what bedford's michael and others,

the most? why build a solar farm here in done this is mostly wetland and a densely forested area drains a lot here and seems in many ways not at all well situated for solar form, clean energy or not. the impact on the environment dial ecosystem here is devastating. large wooded areas must be clear, white lights has impacted run of water. pollution is a major problem. all things to solar. michael said it's a business, it's capitalism. it's maximizing profit. but you know, for us that live over here, you know, what, 4th, 5th generation tax and use my home. and you guys gonna show up in bold, those my home and pollute my water, and lower my land value and destroy my eco system in my wild life. i'm going to fide, michael says he and his friends, and many of his neighbors will continue to push for extra for action against what

they deem is the wrong place for solar panel farm. to take it somewhere else. you know, take it somewhere in san angelo, there's a whole bunch of flat, treeless homeless land up all over the panhandle. you can put a lot of solar if the transmission lines don't go out there. well then maybe the government needs to build willow, san angelo in west texas. it is always embrace all things. energy exploration is production harvesting and it's distribution. an o orange town. san angelo is doing well for itself these days embracing what they called renewable energy opportunity. the local chamber of commerce busy as a be assisting with the recruitment of 3 massive solar power plants. typically, we do have a whole lot of land here and not all that is equally airable. the highest and best use for that land is often times a different solution in this case solar present. some really, really important advantages. not only in terms of energy production,

but in terms where almost the economy in its growth. just at the end of last year, south korean power company finished building the massive control solar valley project. 447000 solar panels generate up to 160 megawatts a phone for that. another one came on line in 2020, and this 3rd big solar project was being developed and build right now. of all 3 projects together, amount to an investment of $800000000.00 into the account. one of the reasons why we also embrace renewables is because they gives the ability of like the they give account to the ability to, to recruit and cure a large scale investments that are easy use on the land. clearly non polluting reliable as long as the equipment is, maintains and the natural resources like the wind and the sun continue to do their jobs. they're, they're, they're, they're virtually timeless. in san angelo,

the sun is almost always shining. the town has space. a lot of space and it is surrounded by flat and bare farm and ranch land. as far as one can see, large solar and wind energy projects make sense. which brings us back east to mount vernon, texas. here we me blend on a b ethics. fix owns a lot, swap of valuable historical prairie land in franklin county. the retired lawyer is taking us on a little tour showing us watch. mentally speaking is at stake. mount vernon, a solar farm developers, are buying up the surrounding line. starting here in this old place for sober and it will go for 9 months, including what this fellow has. so he's got a boat, isn't house and everything, and those people will, they're being paid so much they'll just as they're letting the solar company moving back in nick's office and joined by david to stay on the president of franklin county environmental action council. the to spend countless hours every week trying

to figure out how to protect texas native fairyland for them as land owners and preservation is the most important issue. and biggest hurdle space. there's really no regulation, so renewables don't have to fall in advance with p u say we don't have to get environmental impact studies. but there i, well did i use the word and assault the owner environment, but i think that what happens in the technology is advancing so fast and the people are making so much money in it that they're not actually looking at the damage to the environment. david truesdale effects and michael pickens, as well as countless other land owners in texas, face and uphill battle in their stand against regulated renewable energy developments and project. despite the bleak reality of ongoing and increasing fights and legal battles between preservation,

as land owners and the renewable energy industry, many one sensible rules and regulations, cooperation, and solutions for the future. now you might think that with wind power, it's the more winds the marietta. but did you know that it's actually possible to have too much wind earlier this year? enough wind blew in northern germany to at times power the entire country. in fact, that was so much winds that some turbines had to be switched off. cheap, clean energy ended up being wasted. meanwhile, southern germany households were having to save on electricity. power was imported from neighboring countries and polluting coal plants, but kicked up again. the whole episode showed isn't enough to produce renewable energy. you have to have the means to get it where it's needed,

a plan to link the grids of germany's north and south with overhead lines met with enormous local resistance, meaning that the k was had to be laid under ground. instead, i know around slower and much more expensive process in breathing. jimmy's infrastructure is proving something of a power struggle. when's the last time you plugged in your phone and it didn't charge? well, depending on where you live, this might have never happens. i mean, i didn't take it for granted that most of the time, the electricity is coming out and your device works. this is kelly simmons. she's an engineer who researches how energy systems involved. so what's going on behind the scenes is actually the electricity you use is only generated as you use. and to get to you a trip to an intricate network, buyers, cables, and transformers called the grids. the grid is made up of the generators that

create the electricity, like gas or nuclear power plants, or wind turbines. the transmission lines that carry it to so called substations, which transform into a lower voltage and the distribution lines, but finally delivered to homes and businesses. so solar panels and wind turbans, they kind of have a might there. and so we can't quite control them as well as we can, the possible generators that we've had in the past dispatch of go means electricity sources we have available pretty much on demands like coal gas power plants, kind of turn them up and turn them down according to how you want me to operate solar and wind of the opposite of this non dispatcher. we need the sensor sign and the wind to blow for them to work. and this flakiness has changed the way upgrades and managed to electric. it's a different color that we have to compare to. that was

a yes to read the study. yes. back. this is tim maya, you against the c o o? off one of germany's for grid operators in germany, more than 40 percent of the tricity comes from renewable sources. it's supposed to reach 80 percent by 2030. so what challenges does a high shelf wind and sold off for a while? well, that's the one they make, you depend on, the weather is going to uh exactly what we can expect the next day we unfortunately gotten a lot better at this, but even the best tool cause come changed when the german words don't because it's loud to doc doldrums describes times when there is little some and little wins and read operators nightmare. and even on the days with plenty of balls, they might not be there exactly when the needed renewable energy. if you like the company, for example. not always there where you have to loops. germany produces most of its

wind energy and the north, most of it's solar energy in the south is currently no way to getting large amounts of wind energy down south where there's a lot of demand from industry or much solar energy up north for that matter. it's a similar story in the us. most wind energy is generated in the middle of the country, but more than 2 thirds of the population lives here within 100 miles of the boat. so that's where the demand is. consequently, wind and so not causing grid of rate as a whole lot of headaches. but what is the problem about the grids? historically, we've put the power stations close to our cities and broad fuels like cold or gas. so later uranium to ventilate electricity usually didn't have to travel from solar and winds, on the other hand, have to be put to where the fuel so sunshine, wind is most abundant and utility companies on the only ones generating power people are putting solar panels on the roofs, for example, traditional consumers turning into generators of electricity. things have changed

since the old but upgrades have that. they don't fit the energy system we're trying to build. so we have to be stressful. the electricity from where it's produced to where it's needed. so we have the power, this means we have to get to come next out. great. that's wide rid of her right to a tenant is building suit link, a 700 kilometer high voltage transmission by connecting germany's north to itself. when the sun doesn't shine in the south, could get wind energy from the north. at least that's the idea. the transmission lines, the very, very large transmission lines is really good. so you have coverage, great issues. you have issues over, you know, people that are concerned about in detroit. stacy's and environmental impacts. so building those projects take a really long time and they be really,

really expensive. huge, better we pick. so already popping up more and more than we charge the battery when the spanish signing or the wind is blowing. and then you discharge it. when those solar resources are wind resources, wind down. some grades also store energy with some title to use, so it plus electricity to come water up a hill and let it run down through a turbine. when you need it back off these solutions can only shift a few hours worth of energy, though full of days or weeks. for example, to cover flow to we need other solutions like hydrogen. we can make it from renewable electricity and spend burnett and power plants without any c o 2 emissions. that doesn't mean that we should hydrogen all the time because it's not very efficient, right? but for some situations we will still need it. and then there's another part of the

solution which up until recently haven't really been discussed. we could be the opportunity. so you can increase generations to meet demands. you can also lower demand, the kind of neat stuff by somewhere in the middle. the vision is to build a technology driven smart grid that gets, operate as a lot more information to flexibly balance supply and demand of all this sounds incredibly challenging and expensive. well, that's because it is this industry study. it calculates it that's to be done at 0 targets. grits worldwide. need $1.00 trillion dollars of investments every year until 2015, and that's excluding new solar panels of wind turbines. changing the grid is a monumental task, but it's when we need to tackle if we're serious about quitting fossil fuels. because in the end of the back to the end of the transition. so we are not successful. the energy transition below is successful. and for me is that the race

we might win. so this no, i turn in the gemini heat pumps have become something on a hot topic because these are all the clever devices drawing heat from the environment such as from surrounding and from underground geo mos offer boiling water sources into. and you can use that hate to keep your home well in a way that's up to 5 times more efficient than a traditional gas boiler. however, political flip flopping over, the technology has seen demand the heat pumps full. the manufacturer is seem confident it will fire up again soon. a. the german manufacturers are gearing up for increased demand and new factories are needed. steeple elkhorn has big plans for its production site in lower sectioning provides. man, i think about some of the old buildings you can see here, behind me will be torn down,

others extended. others rebuilt will also be moving the entire staff parking lot and constructing a new cylinder factory own it'll be a new logistics center. preparations are already underway by the only steve alcohol and this keeping production in germany, but many of its rivals, including silent, shifting manufacturing to eastern europe. the company has plants in germany, france and the u. k. and is now constructing a new one. it's and it's a slovak here, spread over a 100000 square meters. it's costing the company over 200000000 euros. the industrial zone on the outskirts of the town is huge. according to local media reports, the development was subsidized by the state to the tune of 20000000 years. with the investor also granted a reduction in income tax. in the town hall, the mirror would rather not discuss the details. a boulevard me. you had another chevy by the department. i was the permits of the company needed were granted

quickly reaching out before bolling me a lot that i by the authorities responsible are all local to, to see the to now. so that's why things were done so quickly. and they said they've gotta be always of course, all legal requirements were observed, catch you out of that, are the most that he's playing. some of them is that going up with me? economist design is oscar has compiled a study on a heat pump manufacturing hubs. purch inclusion, central and eastern europe are becoming production strong. holds a number of firms are also investing in poland. bosh, and dealt with them. yes, 6 months and let me so. and the japanese manufacturer died in march. they're all building new heat pump factories for more than $200000000.00 euros each. creating over a 1000 new jobs of peace. then there's 5 onto slovakia. and so central eastern europe is very well positioned for this because it's close to the final market. and us not only from the locational perspective,

but also it has very well developed infrastructure making. it's quite smooth to shift goods to the final market. and also in itself represents a growing market. so we have seen also in countries such as poland, check republicans, slovakia, more and more consumers demanding heat from so while most of these products will be exported in itself, the fact that it is an attractive market also plays a role. is there a danger of germany falling behind to the manufacturer is basing that production in eastern europe not as far as violent is concerned. the management says it's investing heavily and research and development at the company's h q in room side germany. this is where a new heat pumps are designed and subjected to extensive testing. when we come here and let's over the last few years, we've quadrupled the number of development engineers see of this. our heat pumps are developed here from scratch until time that they're ready to go into series. production. pumps are still mass assembled in germany too. but the new factor in

slovakia means 5 lines can doubled its production to around half a 1000000 units per year. there would have been no space for a new facility and build up on i'm side. expansion here is limited to a small production hall for making all the electronic parts. so at least the brains of the heat pumps the electronic control units will continue to be made in germany among managers. so that q is still seen as a low wage market, despite wages rising rapidly there to, to the single is missed. what motivated us to build a plant in slovakia wasn't labor costs advantages for there was a faster approval times their size to have. so in 2020 we made the decision to build and then we went through a similar process to what you have in germany. also including environmental audits, except that we get approval a year later, you know,

the column which is significantly quicker than in germany. programs for curbing emissions from heating systems have sparks the norm is investments across europe. giving a boost to the mass production of heat pumps. the metal, whatever it is we use to pump out the energy of the futures, will surely be cleaner than what we're using now. and here at made will follow each and every development for you that. so from this additional fee that we use business magazine. but if you want more of our additions, cost, find them on websites, maybe i'll see you over that. if not, i'll see you next. the
