to the house of savannah, how do they do in the secret life stats may 22nd on d w. the, do you use organic products, save water, right to bike only by secondhand clothes and furniture. stream less rely on green energy and use a heat pump. then your on the way to becoming sustainable and climate friendly. heating a lot of causes. 18 percent of all c o 2 emissions in gemini. some say that heat pumps are ideal, but buying and insulating houses is expensive and therefore controversial. a single lodge facility could be a solution to heat. many has today will also be taking a look at green climate frenzy methods. oh,

is this the key to clean containers? shipping a sales crisis? how many tests the employees will loose that jobs, and factory recycling a 2nd life, the batteries being reported risk fun, but not always had to do it. the next level. today we want to find out how entire residential areas can be seated with this icy cold water with a heat pump, a fairly large one. it's minus one degrees. it feels like that that was in needles in my leg. and i thought i'd just see how cold this water really is bad idea. it really hurt heat for how as an industry requires more energy than any

other sector. the majority from fossil fuels sold for the climate emissions need to be reduced to make the building sector more sustainable. there's no getting around heat pumps, large or small. they convert energy from the air, water, or earth around 300000 people, live in money time, directly on the rhine, and the river plays a special role. today the, the magic is happening in this. the local energy provider is producing headink tricity mt thing. so it makes a fossil fuels and cold water this region, it still comes primarily from climate damaging cold neat fee like chuck an energy manager at the m v. v energy group. the, the site where we're located is part of the month time coal fired power plant. it

emits an estimated one percent of germany, c o 2 emissions per year. but that should change. so the, the thing that i'm millions of leaders of water flow through the rhine of which is several times the amount of heat manheim needs them without even and such cold temperatures, all 5, okay? and 10, but one of them got so now 6 or 7 degrees celsius. so physically, they're still in a few minutes. we're now in the ante room and we need to take our earplugs because it's really loud in there. this deafening giant machine is a flow heat pump. 800 leaders of river water are pumped through here every 2nd. this generates heat for around 3500 households. this is where the river water from the ryan comes in and goes into the large heat exchanger evaporator for it,

then transfers the heat to the refrigerator. okay, let's take a step back. here's what happens in the pipes. the water is cold, but it's warm enough to vaporize a refrigerator had very low temperatures. this gas them, expands and electric pump, compressors the gas that generates heat. it's like a bicycle pump. the more you pump and the higher the pressure goes, the hotter the pump becomes. the heat is then used to heat water or air. the cooling therefore, releases the energy and becomes liquid again. and the whole process starts all over . this method is 3 times more efficient than heating with a gas boiler. it not only works with river water, but also with energy from the air or the ground on a large and small scale. ideally, the electricity for the heat pump should come from green energy. 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 at home a refrigerator in the 19th century that was a high demand to cool things. ice blocks for even imported from far away in 1859 frenchman 50, mount covey, developed one of the 1st commercial cooling systems. it works just like a heat pump, only the other way around the transports the heat from inside to outside. later, another machine made the headlines, the air conditioner it was originally invented to solve moisture problems in the paper industry. it wasn't until later that the heat pump had its big moment. the pride and joy of the man of the house is the weather control center center that puts you in charge of the electric heating and air conditioning. and the electronic air seals are the of the entire house. after the 2nd world war came wide spread

electrification and new live style expectations. cheap pumps fit into the picture well. but as many people still use cheap oil and gas for heating, they didn't really catch on to day. it's different. so now we're going to see the heat storage from where there's over the entire that's the thermos last 43000 cubic meters of water bottle. okay, wow, how much is that in meters of 43000000 leaders. so that takes a while to fill the silver film in mannheim, most of the heat still comes from cold only 3 percent from the river. however, that will soon changes the coal fired power plant is expected to be shut down by 2033. the we want to go even bigger. to tell us we want $50000.00

households to be supplied with river water. heat pumps are fed and that means a 10 fold increase in the next few years. then soon from an environmental perspective, there is a theoretical problem with river heat pumps. if he does extracted from the river, cooler water is returned later. however, the quantities here are so small that the temperature in the river only changes minimally according to mtv. but now i mentioned one of them, the river right and will be made just city. so they're wanting to cover that tie he to month, including industrial putting such as the ss or could extra ponds. the rhine will useful to meet the might use water for, for heat pumps, for the processes, and suddenly you get to, you get an issue. in mannheim, the heat is distributed above and below ground by a district eating network. in germany, around 15 percent of all buildings are now heated in this way. and the largest part of this could be covered by large heat pumps, said to make colon gas redundant,

but it's still in each market. the model is the swedish capital stock home, where around 90000 homes are heated with wastewater in mannheim. the cities climate targets and states subsidies for the construction of the plant or decisive factors for the change over their goal is to produce almost completely clean heat by 2030, for heat, from full cover. all of that will be one important component. eventually, shutdowns of jersey, coal power plant behind me in the near future, whether large or small heat pumps are sustainable and can make regions, cities and individual buildings less dependent on fossil fuels. and they even work in winter. all right. i made a fire fuels can be obtained from palm royal pulse rate feed, sugar beats,

or even old fry a fence. but some green fuels can be created entirely, synthetically, messed. and a whole, for example, is an alcohol that can be produced in a climate neutral way with reading hydrogen ions with c o 2 from industrial waste gas is simply from the, at the process is very expensive, needed energy from coal, oil, and gas. that's no longer the case. a new catalyst can make method, no climate neutral. and that's already a customer. the container ships essential for global trade. so far they have been running on marine diesel and burning it in the engine image large amounts of climate damaging c o 2 and other trucks. dimitra shipping companies want to change this and to berlin start up is working on a solution. if you take reading nothing, all your 10 power, for example, container ships method also marine engines produced in a climate neutral away 10. this works

marine diesel. a sticky mineral oil, a cheap fuel engine, oil industry, waste, product merchant ships emmett around 3 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. that's more than the whole of japan. at 2.9 percent in 2021 and emissions will continue to rise around $11000000.00 tons of goods are shipped worldwide every year. this figure will triple by 2050 matters. the 2nd largest shipping company in the world is also one of the culprits. but mascot supp plan. it wants to use the synthetic fuel method all as an alternative to conventional oil. we have a problem that needs to be solved. here's a good solution. let's go with that. the group has therefore already ordered 19. that's an old powered ships. the 1st went into operation in the fall of 2023. we

know it can work because the engine technologies, extra food. there's an engine out there that we can order. and also from an operational and safety perspective, it's a, it's a very manageable issue in order to obtain the c o 2 neutral fuel required. the shipping company is investing in the berlin start up c one, which stands for carbon one. this is what the method all from the research reactor looks like with a very small ecological footprint for funds. all status of the traditional process requires very high pressure, and compression is expensive and requires a very high temperature. and that's the advantage of our price. this is how much it is, is meaning the catalyst is dissolved along with the solvent and the reactive 7, the silver. and we can lower the reaction temperature and pressure us with the catalyst, which saves a lot of money. good. in the traditional production of method, all natural gas,

coal, crude, oil, or bio mass, are also used in large quantities with a high energy input that's different here. they require significantly less energy and carbon atoms. the process works without fossil resources. conventional method all is produced in many refineries around the world, but the production process has a poor carbon footprint and is too expensive. the . the current process of producing methyl is not well suited with renewable feedstock. and this is very steep on comes in, we, we've invented this new, completely new production process. we're taking it on a completely new technology curve. it's a disruptive technology. and the potential is to reduce the cost of $3.00 levels of density. according to the chemist, this test facility is already producing the desired results. the started up is

currently building a large plant and a major german chemical park method. all production for marine engines is set to begin by 2027. so far they have received $24000000.00 euros for their project, but with the new fuel also be affordable for the shipping companies. we also expecting that over the, for the next couple of years, that we will not be able to record the entire additional costs. but the key issue is because the 1st couple of years, you know that they're, they're quite expensive, but we do extra expect. and then we will also have to convert some of the cost analysis and you know, that's you know, that that's also only send. ringback in a few years, the fuel could be refueling, the new container ships, if all goes well, the startup will be doing good business assets process for green method. all production is patented and unique are worldwide. ready

the who would have 4 states electric vehicles just sitting around and show rooms going know where thousands of waiting to be delivered. the boom seems to have come to a screeching halt. at least in europe. new. com registrations have not stopped scrubbing altogether, but then much lower than expected and full market leaders are reacting with those stairs. he meshes and even layoffs test was giga factory and berlin brandenburg has over 12000 employees. around 6000 electric vehicles are produced here every week. it's the company's only factory in europe. but now $400.00 jobs could be lost. because tesla is having problems. staff are

being cut at the giga factory in berlin, brandenburg as the company massively cuts cost. what do the employees think already slow down in kind of industries i heard and the distance is are also down. so i guess you're afraid you're jump over each on i mean to a bid, but not really because if you, if you, if i got this job, i can get another job that i can afford the company to keep me. this is going to need me. so i have heard before yesterday about that, but i didn't know any details about that. yeah, i have the hood. yes, i've heard about it, but i still think that the good m so you should stay. and if someone's made redundant, what can i done? it a month plus not all employees want to show themselves in front of the camera . the most, the most of them are not satisfied with our work. so we all only have a 6 term employment contract. here's your like a machine and machine or you're just being used manage nothing more than i heard

that yesterday from my buddy and also on the news. 10 percent are now being laid off. how about if it gets kicking this or not? okay, and are you afraid to then of course i'm afraid we can just lose our jobs. so the $300.00 temporary workers have already been made redundant. initially it was said that 10 percent of the workforce or $1200.00 employees could be affected. the trade union is rejecting the cuts by the gig, and we are against the hire and fire principal at times like the hiring people and then quickly throwing them out again in the 1st crisis. now would be an opportunity to further train the existing employees and bridge the gap until things improve overall. and they have a heavy workload caught in and especially in the area of production of time. and it would do people good to have others available to do additional shifts. now what i'm of calling me out. so if you're going to stay deductible, not all but some test, the stock price drop reflects the crisis. the boss you on most is also speaking out

and justifying the job guns. there is nothing i hate more, but it must be done. this will enable us to be lean innovative and hungry for the next code cycle. the competition is getting stronger for years tests. what was the industry leader? but chinese events, it's actually, it's are catching up, especially with the affordable models. some people call it a price for like no one else was able to really fight back. so i'm not sure it was a war, but testily, just, you know, as the dominant player outside of china really under cut the whole market by cutting their prices by about a 3rd, you know, which just gave away a lot of profit. now tesla wants to become more profitable by selling in volume because the high prices are no longer working and the share price also collapsed. in 2022, the us e manufacturer is still had in equity value of over one trillion us dollars since

then it's value as fall in massively many investors are no shying away from the stock, not seeing a recovery in the near future. and i think that's why. 4 you now see a situation where many investors are losing patients. the stocks been a disaster so far this year as a fork and the road period for you are testing needs to get leaner in all areas, even at the expense of its employees. have you ever written an electric bike they spouse up quickly they're easy to peddle and that effort, less pale, many criticize the rise in accidents and the senior citizen image. yet sales continue to rise until now and the battery powered. the bikes have been available, but for the 1st time this one powered by hydrogen,

the hydrogen powered bicycle. it's actually a thing now. cycling is one of the most popular modes of transportation of around the world. it's good for the environment and good for your health. the this french firm has developed a new bike system powered by a fuel cell that uses hydrogen. but the, it looks just like a normal bye. but with an additional energy bag containing a hydrogen fuel cell power electronics, the

a full tank can take the bike up to 150 kilometers at speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour. the maximum speed allowed for the bikes in your, the, the price tags 5690 years. the hydrogen fuel stations can be found everywhere that the company hopes it's a bike will be a game changer. the euro, cell phone, angel unused laptops, a still causing major problems. so the, you wants to assume, reinforced the right to repair through electrical appliances, and therefore reduce the mountains of cell phones. laptops and bonuses. of the countries are real estate doing something about it. i was in the market for

anything to fix. oh, gotcha. i went in to change my phone to split and discovered that the large move would to keep these markets a nice, even though the tech companies are trying to push them out and keep your best services for themselves. but these markets help reduce the electronic waves, as people can say over by and through. the indian government is working to support such workers. they want for the companies to mix bed box and they usually information easily available. some of you countries are even giving citizens money for repairing that. things instead of buying new frogs is bringing in and repair ability index. so when you buy a device, you can calculate how much you will save on getting it fixed instead of buying you . so that may soon be a lot less of this. but what about the old or faulty batteries and electric vehicles to, to becoming more and more common around the world, mits, west recycling them to isn't that the in the event of an emergency and electric vehicle battery has to be dropped into water as quickly as

possible when recycling, these safety requirements are enormous. a warehouse like this one has to be flooded with foam within minutes. the batteries are extremely flat level or explosive. that the since we opened, we've been an interesting journey. so it's pretty exciting, even at the beginning the employer is the 1st company to do recycling could make a huge fortune sense because batteries contain valuable metals, like cobalt and nickel flights. all we expect to 15000000 electric vehicles on german roads by 2031. 15000000 is practically the day after tomorrow. i think you're not likely stadium or which is a weird visiting europe's largest recycling plant for electric vehicle batteries, which opened just a few months ago if you're staying. yeah, we're standing here and one of the most expensive floors in germany. the implementing safety 1st doesn't necessarily mean saving money. we have these in the floors and absolutely water tights. we have a several major stick,

also stand equipped with a sensor that would notify us immediately if any substances were asleep into the ground, giving them the batteries delivered, have issues and have been pulled out in the car factories. however, only a few are still coming here with the payment that ultimately our focus is primarily on testing and implementing new technologies and then using them. we're focused on learning as much as we can to be ready for when the old batteries come out. and when the high volume suddenly arrives, uh, it always comes in uh, i imagine that high volume will arrive when the batteries of the 1st generation of electric vehicles fail in a few years. then big business will back in with the so called black mask. and the metals it contains the this came on from a launch, but our goal is to recover 95 percent of our nickel, which is the most expensive, most valuable or including aluminum and copper of course. so the world is turning

to electric vehicles and the demand for these metals for batteries will grow significantly by recycling them. manufacturers could reduce that need to source them from mines with 4 working conditions in order to dependent on raw materials from the 3rd country ziplock. the material from the german recycling plant ends up in a pilot plant in northern europe. the battery is shredded and using a chemical process turned into what's known as black mass, the black gold of the recycling industry. among other things, you can extract this green mix of nickel, manganese and cobalt from it, which is used in this form for new batteries. but is the price right? in our prices, it's difficult to give exact prices at the moment because the business is still in development. and what's more world market price is fluctuate, great like the fact that it makes it difficult to calculate the concept, see the steps. so that's when the operations get ramped up,

much of the process will be automated. however, the batteries still need to be improved for a high recycling rate relative to the ultimate car batteries. we can clearly see that the german car manufacturers are now focusing more and more on optimizing product design for a cycling design. so they want to work with us and because they are just as interested in raw materials as we are. and also they also want to close the cycle and you're often chi stuff. sneezing and high recycling rates, such as for aluminum, have another advantage in the end. they're also good for the climate toner, meaning every ton of aluminum that we can return to the smelters. for example, we will save 95 percent in energy and therefore c o 2 l 2. these are the real heroes, quasi raw materials, compared to raw materials that we get from the minuses, develops the meeting. the com or the operators of the recycling plan to have invested millions in what they believe will be a safe bet. sunset
