9:30 pm
the state after life are we are in our city saving questions for the present future and heads filled with the ideas. so get ready for the brain uptake. 42 inches to almost everything this week on dw, the we, human creatures of habits is hard to get us to change always. but like you to not, we're going to have to adjust to read the practices. but good news is that many of the solutions out there also pricing was simple unworkable, sustainable alternatives,
9:31 pm
vasta foods because of this addition of eco africa. i increase phillips and i am sandra co homes that we nobody. oh, nice to have you with us. as we said, we'll be looking at climate friendly innovations in a number of industries. before we get started, here is a brief look at what we have coming up. creating quality fall break from the tech style, rejects quotes, the feat fotz lies out for games, energy and roof tiles that lights up. your life. international trade has been around for centuries. but globalization has to go into overdrive. the upside us a lot more choice on flexible prices. the prism is shipping goods around the world
9:32 pm
takes a heavy toll on the environment. so, is it really what sweets in the, in a foss report comes from egypt with people looking into clutching inputs of, i mean, we'll see it a solar is an invasive plant on the surface of it. that's hardly a good thing. but besides growing extremely quickly, as all it contains a lot of protein, which makes it ideal animal photo, it hasn't quote on as a feed cross. so far, mohammed up they'll top up when you discover the plump by chance on youtube, while looking for cheaper ways of feeding his household animals. how did they know happiness? tell them that if we use the results of feed capital, we can save an average of 60 to 70 percent of the feed costs for policy. you can save an average of 40 to 60 percent based on the but i had the 15 for me. i mean, clearly canada has a lot of the know how to 7 years ago, how many adults, how well began studying and then planting as all a to feed his domestic life,
9:33 pm
start with it. and soon after he started sending it to others. his mother took a bit more convincing a one time the window, how many 1st customers i used to laugh at them and said to myself that the world is full of weird, crazy people. then i started trying the plant was my poultry. and honestly, i've some great results my how many it has since decided to become a full time. it's all a farm on pioneer to grace the plants and several large tanks with a total area of 300 square meters. the middle class starts at about 7 years ago with a very small from now we have a number of us all in a series. suddenly we've spread the idea around agents helping to grow the pond on $350.00 acres. the most addiction farm is like abdullah ali, see the animals on grain and solely for the country now in ports about half of its grain and 90 percent of its story. and the war in ukraine has also further pushed
9:34 pm
up prices. putting pressure on many farm is i don't know if i live in less than 300 kilos used to cost as almost nothing. but now they cost a lot. today's price is 15021800 years or less than most of i do, but my income has been increased. so i don't make a profit on that. as all, it is much cheaper. and currently the simple, if this war to nearby or you need then is sun and sometimes some force for us to act as a fertilizer. the aquatic fund was long cultivated elsewhere, for example, in peru or in royce funds and trying to split the technique is logically died out. mohammed up delta web is using mold in means to spread the word in egypt. some on this miss with a couple it's in the 1st people where i didn't know what to do with my heart is in
9:35 pm
the 7th, and then i started using social media over i uploaded videos of my channels showing me is all a planned and poultry eating it today over the about 9 detention and people came to see it for themselves. i showed them the planned and the chickens. then people started to accept the idea you up with a call, but had been name isn't times for to some 600 kilos each day. and he has plenty of customers. experts say that the plant can also play an important role in the environment. a computer if i want to provide its own nutrients and i have both the types of blue green algae grows with these on the, on that island, it absorbs nitrogen from the at and transforms it into organic nitrogen that feeds the plunge and welcome. it also has and so sine instead of look as antioxidants and is a source of between a which increases the plants, nutrition value. we tend to come to this every rod, that's all,
9:36 pm
it has also cool eviction agricultural researches. these university graduates are producing power to it as on the feet and hope the plant can help pharmacy to become more independent in other ways of the we want to have a social and environmental and, and he cannot make impact. i teach farms within photo i london water with relatively high solidity levels of how to grow the is all a plant in middle of by the hospice from them. and they'll have a decent source of income for the full amount of that is when the test phases of the young sciences wants to get that product approved by the addiction authorities . in the meantime, mohammed upto co op has found another application for surfaces, although it works well. there's no chemical road to long something regardless whether it is full people or animals, a lot of time, energy and resources go into producing foods. so it's very hot breaking to he is that according to the you,
9:37 pm
when environment program around one fund of all food produced is west? yes, indeed. sandra, lock of refrigeration and pull distribution are 2 big reasons for that. but some foods just have a short shelf live like bread, but at least one bakery gym. these tend, it's dr. bread into another valuable commodity. take a look, a sale for ads in germany, around $1700000.00 tons of a goods off for a new weight each year. some gets fed to animals or turns into bio gas, but much ends up brushing away the dumb faster platinum because we're a small bakery like us. it's about 10 percent less. but at industrial bakeries and supermarkets, roughly 30 percent just gets to austin. but they can do to evict ship, why has found a way to recycle his own bread? he does it using the bakery ovens risk that you will heat so he doesn't waste
9:38 pm
energy either. the roasted bread is then ground. it's now a valuable commodity. just what professor thomas book from unix technical university needs the i brought to you for supplies, solid and liquid, didn't don't think simple, use them for donuts. it's the season. doesn't look good. i made for you this. you must have a wonderful. i don't think it with me now. this them back to elect donald 5 at the technical university of munich biochemist must mood mastery, has developed a method to extract oil from old bread. first the ground bread is mixed with an enzyme that transforms the starch into sugar places special east fund guy will be added the feed or the sugar that you said it
9:39 pm
would be a smart at the beginning. and it's of odd shape when it starts to eating more sugar would be more around and going to be as something of the oil inside some small bodies closely bit bodies. we have now and then the next step would be to destroy that said was and to get the old people has been implying this method for close to a century the they needed toxic sold and it's to access well then missouri discovered an enzyme that cuts open the some wills the beast, the enzyme derived from an mushroom, this enzyme is completely non toxic. the goal of his research is to find in the eco friendly alternative to palm while it's used in almost every product. every 2 brought back on the ship so that one of them point then on one in separate ingredients and to find alternative effects 10 not effecting or is up in uh, deforestation mode. uh, that's the main interest of the process homeless,
9:40 pm
those heat resistant and an expensive some $77000000.00 tons of it all purchased each year. that's what makes com while the top selling vegetable oil in the world market ahead of sweat under 8 feet. but palm oil is only cheap in financial times, the cost of people in the environment is high oil palms may negro. in tropical regions that launched weights of rain forest chopped down to accommodate them, contributing to climate change. by contrast, land is not required to produce e style. all it takes is a fermentation tank, like the ones used to make b a and it works with things other than old bread. this isn't complex, but we'll start with completely self sufficient. when it comes to rule materials,
9:41 pm
we can use almost any food waste, including rice, types of uh, sweet potatoes and cohen officers cuts off the you can use all of the plant. i'm not just the edible pods, so i'm not even the cooling stores out by mice because on the solely beast, oil tastes very mild. so it can be used in almost anything the bakery way due to a big jump. one works can meet its need for the fence almost entirely with dale bread. but how could all the bakeries benefit from this discovery? i mean, when i pick a high 20 some, something several bakeries can get together to buy a film and taishan saying, can you see how much east oil they can produce from the left over bread that way the risk isn't so great. and at some point, everyone might be able to use their own bread to make french fries at home. why not? i think on the let me just get back on the phone. this new to the big ship blind uses the fresh east oil to make a special east to treat the recycled oil is used in the dose plays. i'm spelling of
9:42 pm
the chocolate brioche. ready so if you're going to succumb to attempt taishan, at least, do it sustainably. cavellas pray to face the say the gym, the for now on next report shows us another promise in greenville, tennessee. but this one has to do with energy production. also step away from falsely feels the future looks bright for business, both those like these one. there's a revolution underway on the roof tops of germany because by cornelius power, these devised and all new roofing tiles system that in addition to protecting houses, also incorporate solar modules. and they produce electricity in abundance. more than enough for the resident family provide the sunshine and then on i talked to anybody as an example. if those and titles on a roof mean a peak of 10 kilowatts, depending on where you are in germany, that's around 9 or even 10000 kilowatt hours. per year. yeah,
9:43 pm
that's the i is awesome. do you understand the long term pays for itself is in around 20 years to view the solar paneled roof costs around $40000.00 euros in total, a few 1000 more than a conventional roof with added solar panels. revolutionaries always face challenges because they're usually charging new ground powers. next level tiles involve a lot of individual workmanship at the factory and eastern germany, making production for now relatively expensive. uh, further heard, all isn't showing the new product is super dependable and functions flawlessly, over a period of decades. the, these are the only dilemma dated solar modules are made on the basis of conventional processes with materials tried and tested in billions of units to date . so i not wanting to talk about from your kind is organ cornell use policies. company also introduced robots recently to increase capacity and lower cost.
9:44 pm
originally and electro technical engineer. he got investors on board to help finance the price, the material acquisitions. their commitment represented a big vote of confidence in his fledgling enterprise. as of yet how we started out in 2011 with 3 people. right. so we know we stuff, override 70, it's by glass year we doubled turnover. 5000000 euro sounds. and this year, we hope to increase our revenue 5 or 6 fold power. this confident that the energy crisis will see more german homeowners wanting to generate their own electricity. plus the government recently increased funding for solar roof conversions, which need to be as uncomplicated as possible. spent, though in spite there'll be 2 penetrations in the roof. they are having over the
9:45 pm
plus and minus cables, will run inside the conduit, done to the investors. it's about simple desktop for now, the roofing revolutionary is a relatively minor player in what is a $1000000000.00 market. but he's convinced that his innovative solar child will soon be in demand across the country. 50000000, i'm from you. germany has 50000000 detached and the semi detached hoses missing and that will require energy related to modernization over the next 30 years. and just hoping that the if you project got figured out, we're talking about half a 1000000 roofs a year, maybe $2.00 to $300000000.00 solar tiles to be installed the system. and we're looking forward to making a contribution for that target. going back to the doctor and i talked to last week but with the germans known for being very price conscious, they might still need some persuading. time is however, on his side,
9:46 pm
if the panels produce the right results, they're bound to gain and popularity in the future. so le tells what's a clever and efficient way to both cover your house and your energy needs to see what's in his sleep. and one that seems taylor made for africa because if there is one thing we have in abundance, it's sunshine that you know, what else africa has an abundance of discarded textiles sent to you from other parts of the world. and that these creating a lot of environmental problems so much so that you can, the president's unity and so many, the glad i'm back on impulse of secondhand clothes bought. what can be done with what's already here? well, i still have him, so if he go may have the solution of
9:47 pm
these young country printers are on the mission to defend the environment against never ending textile waste, they snatch up off good fabric and a role pieces and sold inventory and sold and rejects. and give them a 2nd chance at life. yeah, this is an example of some of the one way to recycle. and she said right now, so these are the products that we actually eventually want to me. the global self is becoming the textile dump of the global north every day, almost $200.00 tons of textile waste a dump a landfill was an african countries decomposing fabrics release comfortable greenhouse, missing gas, well, toxic chemicals and dies sip into the ground water and soil. what is say to st, go and her friends have vowed to do their beat with we will been inspired by their own hometown and major manufacturing hub. we have about 300 as so closing
9:48 pm
manufacturers operating. and so that's the cost of a half of them on the list in case. so you want to to start somebody to solve that problem, but at the same time create jobs. but at the same time, so create an innovative solution. their initiative, make sure be what textiles end up in landfill. spike collect include intended for dump sites from manufacturers and selling them to recycle is who processing materials into fiber and thread for fabric production. we will then also use this the fiber to make footwear and different kinds of textiles. company collect 70 tons of textile waste to month is just one percent of western cape waste. the cmc finding recycling missionary in south africa is a big challenge. still it plans to expand to other provinces and continue to clean up the polluting text out industry. and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us
9:49 pm
a tweet. past a, doing your page. we share your story to using was to make something useful that's central to some of the most exciting innovations that we have seen today. and before we say good bye would like to introduce you to a month right to in uganda. we used his background in aerospace engineering to develop sustainable solutions for areas that are very much down of and the results are impressive. oh, no more darkness and helen young, whose house it has been about a year since a home was connected to electricity. and since might then well, but they haven't seen and exist that was this last time for them to see,
9:50 pm
but they could not believe a village or go to court power at the same time. electricity is changing, life and business with us. before getting electricity, my customers use to return to the homes early due to the documents. but these power we can sell up to midnight. good. good is a remote funding community located up by 300 kilometer north of you kind of capital it borders which you sent for. the sessional club, yukon, dislodges, conservation area, and home to engage in species like elephant in 2009. when you kind an aerospace engineering to nickel visited the oscar village in the district of new what he saw in need for p energy festival. it wasn't the other national path to say if we could do something in the way of which would reduce the pressure on firewood. so it'd be interesting to help concept initial pack. secondly, no, i had
9:51 pm
a lot of agriculture with means, whatever we could do with agricultural waste, we could do it in noise. so in 2012 p 10, you go set up a private company. today, the plug in go to generate 64, you know, lots of renewable energy from other calls held by a mess to a process called justification. uses the shape of the gas it by a just a spock is enough to get the material to heat up to 1000 degrees celsius. at that temperature, it breaks down from rice tasks, mace called with the shelves, copy ox into me. same and hydrogen rocket feel. while those gas is light, they rise to the top. this fucked out, and go to power. the engine moves how this has just ended. after removing the
9:52 pm
kronos for food, the woman used to throw away it's called nowadays apply them to peter michael as a raw material to produce the energy they use at their homes. detect and this month lease, we sell it to them. they bite, we get money almost every time we get money, this one, then we get the money in the rice has the company also use as the waste from the guess? if occasion during the process guess is a separated from the soul of by a mess. it leaves behind tons of solid twisted you called by 0 cost. they're a micro paused form in the bias. how those micro pause off perfect for bacteria to flourish. us when bacteria flourish in the by time the soil did release nutrients into the ground, automatically fertilizing the ground. so by char,
9:53 pm
improved soil moisture reducing the need for irrigation by char helps keep the sofa type, reducing the need for non organic flow devices. during the planting season, he gives the bio co opt for free to about a 1000 farmers in the region. helen younger also gets them the forms of this benefiting from their own waste, delivered to the company. it's so the cycle is complete and keeps on going. it's a virtue, a cycle which takes us from the vicious cycle of poverty to a virtuous cyclists prosperity every year peter nickle can produce up to 100 tons of bio cos. he only use this house listed as fertilizer. the other house is used to make key cooking fuel in the form of pilots. he also gives an offer fee to families to avoid cutting down trees for firewood. so far the company has offset over 50000
9:54 pm
tons of c o 2 annually. pop up with them, but i know it considering i only use a few pilots to cook now compared to the big volume of firewood that i previously young's pace. and even if i light a few pellets and cooking as far as timing, not in the back lawn chair, maybe. but that data in the last decade, peter nickle has sort of 5 mini group plans and you kinda costing some 4500000 euros race. maybe to venture capital, his hybrid model back, so power from bio mass with solar, another clean energy source. the plant generates a total of $500.00 kilowatts, probably more than a 100 household businesses and institutions. in the evening. we can switch on our biomass gas a fire and run it by daytime. we have the solar running and we have a small amount of battery capacity to balance that load. so we have uniform electricity 24 hours a day. every day of the year. on top of that,
9:55 pm
you turn your cost started a new project, electricity, mobility among the rule community. he has already 5 electric vehicles because running in court in the near future, he wants to expand his p n. c model to zambia, but china and south africa and even further away to space in the united kingdom. that's quite a project. you can get much more circular and sustainable than that. i'm afraid we've come to the end of this special edition of echo africa also tenable alternatives. we hope you enjoyed the program and we'll come back again next week. i'm crystal, i'm signing though from lagos, nigeria. and it is also a device for me, sandra, co homes, that we, nobody will write to income plot. uganda. don't forget, you can always check in with us in our social media channels. why not send us an
