the subscribe. now to dw talking entry, the or being a climate john, unless this level or loss of this. okay, let's do it. and do this for you. i think that's beyond the next level. i want to show you how tweet entire neighborhoods with water as cold as this is like a thousands of negroes in my legs. the answer with a heat pump, a very big one. but even the small ones are indispensable when it comes to the cabin. rising housing, these gadgets can convert seemingly infinite amounts of energy from the environment to warm our homes even in winter. but how is that done, and why on the every way it nothing

required small energy worldwide than keeping house this woman providing you to industry. teaching accounts for half of the global energy consumption and 72 percent. while a heat thing comes from burning fossil fuels long story short to limit global warming, we need to bring heating, emissions down. before we get to that, we need some cold facts. i mean, really cold. okay, i'm not ready at all. all it's mine is one degrees celsius outside and the water is only like the warm thank you planted a why am i doing this? again? it's unbelievable. but in the city of month time in south west germany, this ice cold water is used to heat thousands of homes. we're going to find out how this is possible. my name is the mid sized city of about $300000.00 inhabitants.

it's, it's directly on germany's biggest river. right. and you guys, right. the river plays with key role in this story. the magic, it's happening in the local energy providers producing heading mt thing really makes a fossil fuels and cold water. until today, the region relied heavily on the most climate timing source for heating cooling. this is felix ok. he's energy manage it. energy company, mtv. the magic machine we're about to show you is his baby. this single thought plant is responsible for about $6800000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. it's almost one percent of germany's annual emissions, but this is changing for the better. right now. the other thing that i am referencing in your own, this of us on this is of the total of 2 of them. and then you may have thought of

the some of the data from the shop on the 5th outside. ok. and then, but one of them got into the succeeding subset of nashik to, to college know, look around with them. it's amazing for them on diets under the doorsteps. the name, but that doesn't look like last. so this deafening done is in fact the heat pump for river by pushing to 800 meters of the type of 2nd. it can provide heat for $3500.00 households audio rooms. okay, wait a 2nd. let's take a set but this is what happens in all those pipes. the what that seems co to us, but it's easily warm enough to turn a liquid refrigerant into guess as this kind of upward. extremely low temperature

is the gas expense, and electric pump then compresses its gas. this generates heat. it's a bit like with a bicycle pump below that your pump, so the higher the pressure, the whole tide gets, try it out. the heat is gas is used to warm up water or f, for example. the refrigerant gives up its heat and becomes liquid again and the process can we saw. this mechanism is so efficient. you can generate 3 times as much heat with the same energy as with a gas for that. it doesn't just work with river water. you get the same effect with heat from and the ground. the idea only the electricity for the pump comes from renewable entities. but even if it comes from fossil fuels, it's still more sustainable. the principle of a heat pump isn't new at all. it's based on a concept which has existed for a very long time. and on a technology which most of us have a talk, a refrigerator back in the 19th century, the demand for cooling was much higher than for heat. ice was carried from far away

if there was no possibility to keep things cool. in 1859, the frenchman fed, you know, kazi, designed the 1st commercially successful ammonia up stokes and cooling system. it works the same way as a heat pump. but the other way around carrying heat from inside to outside. from there, another familiar machine evolved. the air conditioning invented to solve hauled and humidity problems in the printing industry, only day to the heat pump and it's big moments. the pride and joy of the man of the house is the weather control center, a center that puts you in charge of the electric heating and air conditioning, and the electronic air skills. arrays of the entire house. with western economies booming after world war 2, bringing widespread next week's vacation and new life style expectations, heat pumps fitted right in. but as most people were happy to buy and cheap or the gas for decades,

it didn't really catch on until now. so now we're going to see the huge storage from where the distributed over the entire this is how most tenants the got to then subject policy cubic meter bustle at the end. so it's a 1000000 in this of the safety of often available on the services at the moment by phone. the launch is proportional. this is still heated with cool. only 3 percent of the heat comes from the river. but that was soon changed as the coal fired oh station will probably be shut down by 2033 and the volume over. know my daughter is closer. one does finish 6 tullison policies. the meant to them also suffer them from for us are fed and others, you know, my, you know, seeing in the next me, i'm very soon as energy efficient and sustainable. really, the heat pump is taking huge from the river means that the warranty is being discharged. 3 degrees quarter after the process with potentially negative impacts

on a larger scale. luckily at the moment, most of which is obviously he did you to climate change, change this beneficial to a point and put you on that you will have need be um, an abscess ecological effect that you might want to avoid. this is probably an odd scientist at germany's on or a i. e. g, an expert for large scale heat pumps. however, due to the small quantities of water being discharged, the temperature in the river only changes by less than 110000th of a degree according to mtv. but now i mentioned one of them there with the ryan, with a major city. so they're wanting to cover that tie he to month, including industrial tons such as the b s f. so could extra funds along the river, right. that will useful to mid that might use water for, for heat pumps, for the processes. and suddenly you get to, you get an issue with another issue on the refrigerants. the can be terrible greenhouse gases, which all video and f gas is. if you want to know more,

there are alternatives on the market which have less global warming potential. but some of the other issues such as being easy to ignite and manufacturers tend to produce business as usual. in my name, the generated heat is distributed by district heating over and microsoft and germany around 15 percent of all buildings and no heat in this way. and most of it could be meant by large heat pumps, cutting out cold and gas. they are still in the shed, but installations have started to pick up. a role model is the sweetest capital style calling way about 90000 departments are heated from wastewater and the norwegian city of drummond provides most of the heat for its 65000 residents with he's permits cold sea water and communities don't even need this strategic heat pumps can be directly attached to a building or industrial side, where temperature is up to 200 degrees celsius needed. the phones can extract energy from almost any c. yeah, way for the sea. and even from the grounds is it only took issues because it's

pretty small to be used in almost any residential building like this one a by 20. so the heat pump, this could save as many emissions as all the costs. and you have produced a year with smaller units taking a central stage, especially as heat pumps can also turn from heating into cooling mode, at a more energy efficient than classic air conditioners. but there is a catch. of course, it's the money, particularly in sterling of 1st heat pump, switching from a different hitting system is always going to be more expensive as we all right. now, this is really something that she's a policy expert at non profit regulatory assistant project. she has a heat pump itself and loves it right now. in 2024 heat pumps can cause $2.00 to $4.00 times more than natural gas boilers. it's a big outlay, especially for low income families. on the other hand, long term they could save you money as heat pumps need less energy in europe.

households currently save on average $900.00 per year and in the us $300.00. but the advantage of fossil fuel heating depends highly on. yep. energy prices is full, the recent energy price cost is when prices became unpredictable. and for the tile, on average, of course, your electricity was around $33.00 times more expensive in gas. so you can see if you having an official heat pump getting a 300 percent full 100 percent efficiency, you might be setting some money back in the u. k. where on this before the press cost is electricity was 5 times more expensive and gas. so you can see that, that you would really struggle to be saving some money. so if heat pumps almost sustainable and becoming kelly viable, depends highly on your government's energy policies, whether they've favor cheap, green electricity over fossil fuels. in man, i'm the prospect of high to texas local excitement targets and states subsidies for

the construction of the plans with the size. if in the switch to rip a heating that target is to provide almost 100 percent clean heat by 2030 funds will cover all of that. but will be one important component to eventually shut down the dirty coal power plant behind me in the near future. no matter of smaller scale, deep problems, almost sustainable, and can make regions more independent from fossil fuels. and they do work in winter . i hope you appreciate the effort i flip into showing that i can say i can enjoy uh, heat phones popular where you live. let us know and the comments subscribe to our channel and hit the like button. we have new videos for you every friday. and i need to get out of it all. all right. i made it to the conflict. so with sarah kelly 5 months into the warren,

gaza and sadly k us around and aid con boy has glaringly highlighted the desperation and climbing death full amongst civilians. my guess is who's on complex on is not responding. form exists, informing us, or, and long time diplomat, at what point is needed to have no choice, but to consider opening of the porter to thousands onto monetary and ground conflict. next on dw, so much t minus the team of the line is the most dangerous animal and we're the brave women of the world. so we call ourselves lionesses the women from team lightning. this can change our culture. we can do the same hard work is to manage our time is come, move over the same line is kenya's, 1st female, messiah range. in 45 minutes on the w, the

little guy. this is the 77 percent. the platform for these issues. picture id the, you know, or this will be a, not a great to catch and then you get to talk to applicants. population is really fast . the young people clearly have the solution. the future belongs to you. this 77 percent every weekend on dw conflict crises around every single connection mapped out shows that you are politically odyssey, be on the board,

is what makes things the way they all and all the solutions mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the 5 months into the war and gaza and deadly chaos around in a convoy has glaringly highlighted the desperation and climbing death toll among civilians. the cottage of humanity is something they haven't seen protected by guess this week on complex own is not to find the former egyptian porn minister and long time diplomat. at what point is egypt have no choice but to consider opening its border. 2, thousands on to monetary and grounds. have the shocking scenes of suffering, process conflict to an inflection point. now to find the welcome to complex own.

thank you. tragic deaths around and aid called.
