time is also discussed, the to minutes are in situations installers of souls flew to egypt after visiting is that's it. from me of those team. i have an update for you at the top of the, the, [000:00:00;00] the sustainable, equal conscious green walk into any store. and you are bound to hear or read these words. business has become all about being read that includes brands and consumers, but it's everything really as green as it may seem. for example,
1:31 pm
our lithium batteries for electric vehicles of sure or curse for the environment. that's the topic of this week's edition of made, the, the of use business magazine i mother xena, welcome. and these are some of the other stories we will be looking at. making waves to denmark is heating a city with the ocean, making a come back, kind of former spanish coal town, become a hydrogen hub and making it minimal. our 20 houses, 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 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?
1:32 pm
a lithium is essential to electric vehicle batteries. the global run on this raw material is well underway. the global north tuscan being able to make the effort to resources attractions to the theater. highly carpeted meetings. 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 to bath rates and 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,
1:33 pm
argentina in july. 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 and 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 the there's no electricity flow and
1:34 pm
the car one drives. the advantage of leasing them is that it's really light and also has a small volume. this means step with a leasing better rece. we can really build power full and small and low way better res, as compared to other electro chemical elements. chile for it's part, wants to raise a share of the e mobility boom. in late april chalets, 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. in the middle west, any 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 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,
1:35 pm
all mineral deposits are owned by the state. and nearly all is it is extracted 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 july's lithium has been processed elsewhere, mainly in china. china is the world's biggest with the importer, and also the 2nd largest ex border. 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
1:36 pm
is c h e l, the theory you could build out a supply chain in shelly, you know, cathode and and production, battery production, perhaps even alexis, vehicle production. but you know, the largest e v 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. the varies uh,
1:37 pm
really dividing line incomplete in this world drive towards the organization. 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 card when a meeting you 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 each of these were on the road worldwide by 2025. that figure is set to be nearly $80000000.00. 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 slot region. it's the world's largest lithium reserve extracting the commodity
1:38 pm
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. and maybe i would kind of make ideas to look for more modern methods as i leave, 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'm to be, when i say that it's probably guess when i became a board on a 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
1:39 pm
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 bits orland 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 as the project 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 at about 14000 cubic meters. an hour. yeah,
1:40 pm
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 world 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. pumps is warmed up by the sea water and vaporizes. the c o 2 is being compressed. further increasing its temperature, wind farms of the danish coast provide the power to operate the compresses. most of the circuits in the city, especially on the hop on wind turbines. so you can say this projects with using a lot of electricity, windows and excess electricity helps us integrate more renewable into the, to the grid. it also enables us to provide c, p,
1:41 pm
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 make frequencies very cheap when we have a lot of wind, then the prices here fall till close to 0. the project was this mom's idea. the, the foundation in denmark is that we have a district key thing system. so that was, is 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 forefront uh on the screen for me to send up to no s p a and it's a 100000 residents, upward light on a coal fired power plant. now is district pete supply is going to run of green energy. so will, to the locals think it's quite fun if you can. it's going from foss. oh, that's good. you like that?
1:42 pm
yeah. cost. as long as it's an environmental good. we should the big our, our traditional meat of because the all that this is the despite meeting about just a great dream agenda is a, is a, is a big project. yeah. but actually implementing the project was not without its challenges. so 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 general. and we have this heating 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. i'm to con, get profit out of it. very environmental obstacles are, 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
1:43 pm
. 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. this innocuous looking site is home to a ground breaking project after coal and oil shell. 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. what can leave the panel is hydrogen is shatelle producing another vehicle and thought in the commercial ingredient manufacturing on the to lies that we sell different levels. so i'm putting this past a single field. this currently, it needs natural gas to create the $40000.00 tons of hydrogen a year needed in puerto yano, in
1:44 pm
a climate and friendly process. at the nickel group with every ton of ammonia, generates the natural gas was really a meant 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 produced per year, is less than a 10th of the amount required when it was the vision of the biggest problem of its kind in euro to bring it down to product facility for an alliance between e bedford or on 50 betty f, like the idea is for us to go from 20 megawatts here to $800.00 and total in parts of yano unimed pulse to that fontana with 30 betty as factory just ended, spain is turning into a hydrogen hub, as can be seen at the national hydrogen center also located from portly yano. the boom is no coincidence. explains the director programs get state backing that me able to talk a little about just that. there's also funding for the projects in the u. u. i. which is speeding things up low proficiency as well. only more or less, we have
1:45 pm
a lot of renewable energy in spain. we know doubling and the geographical advantage when it comes to the energy transition while the set equal in particular. and i know 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 was the plans for green hydrogen. that goal has also attracted criticism skipped, but it's not resolved because it can be a good solution for all the industries that have no other options here. and this development in spain is a real bubble in many cases, unnecessary discretion. and it leads to conflict with residents and many parts of the country. and we import them based in the 7030 s more hydrogen requires more water. the facility, importantly on a uses at least 9 leaders of h $2.00 oh, to produce one to low of green hydrogen. and this is in the drought stricken south of spain. when i was dilemma said one that i'm a is whether we'll have enough water for everything. i mean, not just now, but in the future. how can i speak and according to forecasts that are climate
1:46 pm
change will mean it's a 20 percent less altering the decades to accommodate 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 come to us in time. hundreds and the amount of 2030 on. and by producing 852818 1000000 cubic meters is from the same quantity that evaporates in spain alone every year from agricultural navigation portals and think that with the range of options available, fertilizer companies, their t barrier is already thinking a step ahead of time when we want to increase our capacity in order to harness the opportunities with green hydrogen and 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
1:47 pm
customers in spain alone. existing refineries and still works 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 down those big emissions to more moto, straightens existing, as little space as possible. that's what living in a city feels like from 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 age to 50 square meters. they are cheap, practical, and said to be sustainable. they're minimalism is meant to solve big problems from housing shortages to wasting resources. but it's less really more there is
1:48 pm
a global housing shortage right now. people are feverish me trying to find solutions . tiny houses on just small. they also have the potential to be practical, green and affordable. and they're growing in popularity. as well as a 1st time home, i don't want to shut out 1200 year as a month for an apartment. 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, so what it is an urban problem, not a rural one. the so 10 tiny house is also any relief to crowded city. is there even space for them in concrete jungles? as was on definitely more fun, but we might be able to accommodate tony houses in the gardens or cold yards yet some particularly urban areas that housing short the tiny house on the thing that might help alleviate the thing is that on the vehicle, but the bone chuckled a huge problem that we're facing the gun difficult came to us with
1:49 pm
a card to um it would ease things in an extremely marginal why he might have put that switch out the pets actually sort of they are. there are often many vacant lot step boom, and you can use a crane to hoist them into dice and fill the empty space in cities. you have done eyes or i'll fall. no, 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 for mike crow apartment type cities should design the apartment through some beeping. tiny houses in the form of money to boots that can be constantly adapted. environmentally friendly, mobile waste. what was the full price on 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. so i'm wondering if the football
1:50 pm
is on a 2nd product. does that needs to be considered? is that a tiny house set from the needs quite a lot of space on also on the timing goals 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 dollars. whereas if i construct an apartment building almost like a house, a lot more people buy with that much smaller plot of land. currently over the place is definitely i mentioned something 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, i'm more of the mortgage just to touch a hitch and head off would assume that any one of us thinks light that's 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. there's too much carrots and for
1:51 pm
example, they are retired. but where do they go? usually they rode on so called plane graveyards, not very sustainable. and business. an ireland wants to change that. it's turning carpets into garden sheds and play and cabins and to offices because of all and is known for its unpredictable west. one minute it's sunny, the 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 in section the science level and the last the site they can set up here on the bank. they're looking at at that to see they can watch people surfing, they can watch people's funding, and there's just none here. and, and the comfort of this, the sand house to tell them, don't the going on? is the problem. oh, no, to full my across cabins. by the see here, everything was the windows and the bathrooms. the doors handles everything. a rust
1:52 pm
so far with these are the pain, fantastic. you know no rust and no meant. and so we thank you very, very good investment. there are acros, graveyards all over the world like this one and had a well stay. the international ad transport 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 it does change . so once in an cabin rag and other brains behind the so called arrow pods, they came up with the idea 2 years ago since then. they've towed more than 30 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. we're basically buying that on the last slice. we've bought the fuselage sale as soon as it lands we have one ordered so and everything else 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
1:53 pm
to refer to 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 peer there. sure. and what do you like on that side? the stuff up can even build a small house from our plane. pause in $2.00 to $3.00 weeks, including a kitchenette and the bathrooms. a tiny houses 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 a big house just like we always did, we can't do it like, you know, you can't hate them. you know, you couldn't get signing permission up here to build massive structure as so these were absolutely ideal, you know, during the winter and the biggest storm you can set on here. you don't hear a thing, no movement, no, and anything. the smaller the pulse, the easier they are to transport,
1:54 pm
making them all move out. that also makes them attractive for businesses attending trade says the 2 company founders are looking to further upgrade the designs and recently hire 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 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 clauser cool and the which ones the sound like it green or green washing that was this week's topic on maid mother's the not thank you for watching. take care and see you next time.
