9:02 pm
a modern human solution is to breed the animal instead of catching it in the wild. norway is home to the world's biggest salmon farm with soccer culture conditions being widely criticized. is there a humane way of farming the coveted fish? also coming up, lithium, a mineral, the future that is already near indispensable for modern industry can a new processing plant and make your if less dependent on china. deep under the surface of southern spain, as an abundance of other raw materials in mines that have been lying idle for years plus tractors are going electric. but how do they fair in the field test? the know the new way above the arctic circle is i'm to hundreds of rivers and fuel. it's christine nature. were on our way to a gigantic fish farm noise,
9:03 pm
the world's biggest supply of semen providing 50 percent of global production. the fish bomb operated by north deluxe is located off the coast in the bar and see on how 6 breeding cages is the largest sale. se, i mean it was, it's uh, 395 meters long. it's 50 meters wide and a peak production. we have 10 thousands on so some on there are 2 and a half to 3000000. so here at the same time, the net 61056 meters down into the sea. this facility avoids the chemical, is commonly used elsewhere to protect the nets against the accumulation of organisms notice filing here. and that's a clean by robots. so we will, how are we into that walter and then the start cleaning the the wall. so then that's the farm is run by 6 people. what in to shit?
9:04 pm
beach of the 6 breeding cages contains around 350000. someone definitely did with underwater cameras. and most of the operational activities have done by remote control. but just how crowded conditions for the finish the limit you do a search by the government. so yeah, can only have that maximum 2.5 percent of these and 97.5 percent of what we from a run that. so i would say 1.5 percent, 10 city at the application said that this would be good space interface. some of the problems are controversial, but the wild variety is known endangered species with stocks having declined to record lows. the next stage about trip takes is a 1000 kilometers bumped down the coast even here. further south. it's still light at midnight. we make the
9:05 pm
spokesman for the norwegian, someone river association, who happens to be an average fisher. but he has little hope of catching anything. these days from re summon, frequently escaped from the cages and tags in the process themselves, endangering wild populations, living in rivers, games with a while, saw the gift of spring for life in the in nature and saw the easily 1st, the girl falls and then they compete with the really wild selma which don't grow so far and then they die. they used to be over 2000000. someone in all ways, rivers to day they number just full 100000. the fish fun we visited is one a 40 conventional facilities operated by nor locks in the countries. fuels. a major
9:06 pm
problem with alcohol cultures is contamination with parasites among done some on lice, in extreme cases that can cause must that send them to host and they're also transmitted to while someone tell a license or live official ser, for a longer period. so if you use fresh water for a couple of hours where you mean 12 hours with fresh water and the lice will level will die. ready some live in both rivers on the sea and are safe from the lice and fresh water where the power so i just cannot survive state of the art breeding facilities use i control and robot places to identify the nice on the program to, to ideally only hit the power sites several shots required for denouncing. ready some of the invested with lice and escape from that cage pose a threat to the wild count of thoughts on have to be reported to the all star tests . we measure the scapes, so we focus on the, in forest years,
9:07 pm
but we weren't able to catch 36. so then, so in total we only have 4 sound on that. so we don't know where they are for the last few years. infectious diseases like more attentive, disclose our another problem, which is why the fish are not collected on conveyor belts, like this one. the conditions of comp, tennessee, with several $100000.00, something in one tank make the fish connie, susceptible to disease, normally would run the most highly to rates, i would say around 5 percent, 4 to $6.00. so in the last 5 years. but according to the norwegian veterinarians institute, the average mortality right across no way as far higher at 17 percent. and that's due to infectious diseases, but especially the impact of anti lice treatments on the fisheries bodies. one of the main reasons is handling due to treat plans again, some of us. so that says remove solomon lice now and tables the length of
9:08 pm
treatment and that treatment is stressful for the fish. and then they can, for instance, general rooms of to the super sized farm we 1st visited is located not in the fuel woods, but in the open ocean. the cooler pressure and moving water here apparently helps to reduce disease incidents and to wash away settlement an extra much more effectively. plus the anti lice treatment is used here are less harmful to the fish . the adult, someone all picked up at regular intervals by a transport ship that brought on board via flexible tubes before being counted at the port of stock, knock ness that pumped into the slaughter house, still alive. after being stunned deficient, cut them kills defiantly run 16 hours per day. and not time processing. 300 tons of someone from the nor like spawns. it's the 11 they get some of the factory
9:09 pm
in the world, unemployed, 70 people for shift. some of the semen shipped the destinations around the world as whole fish see good yak. upson is head of production here and the farmer says, bills and the other fish heads on may 2 bones removed by special machine. the smaller pain bones are then removed on the conveyor belts. largely automatically the bounce out of to be cut into portions the resulting fil, a saw of insulted by
9:10 pm
a robot. according to white and grouped together for packaging. and 2023 north blocks, posted prophets of almost 50000000 euros on a global scale. this is a multi $1000000000.00 industry demand for the fish remains on the up. but for all the cutting edge facilities, better conditions and more investments in technology and medical research will be required to make some of the funding humane. the. there's a new kind of gold rush underway, not for precious metals, but critically raw materials of the future. chief among them is lithium, with its vital importance for high grade batteries of all manner of electric vehicles. in europe alone, projected to manual amount to a half a 1000000 tons. annually. germany will cindy opening its 1st lithium refinery once it goes into operation in the near future to plant well pose
9:11 pm
a challenge to china is dominance over the european markets. europe's path to green future has a problem. its industry meets resources. this new list and processing plant in germany could be key to diversifying supplies to get ahead and battery production resources like lithium metro show. but chemical processing into battery great materials is tricky. that's for finer, here in germany will be the 1st time in europe. but the continental remains largely dependent on china to source materials. china dominates refining with the alkaline metal with it, the know how for processing the material. but to break free of this dependence your it needs to build phone materials supply chains. here at angie's list seems frank, for the board, tory chemist, constantly monitor and test the refining steps. the design for processing the same hydroxide. the scientists here has come up with ways to filter out contamination
9:12 pm
from the list in the company will later refine on a larger scale. the process is here in the lab will later work one to one in the industrial process. you press the material in here, then the cylinder spins really fast and as it rotates, the solution is forced out of the filter bag. and only the dirt or the impurities remain. and my clean crystallize material stays in here. that's basically the process of the frank for phases chemical company has been building its experience and these were finding steps for 5 years now. understanding precisely how each step works will make it possible for the scientists here to build out capacity away from the lab. sponge you mean rock from a mine and brazil sits at the beginning of the empty lithium processing chain. and brazil, it's crowned up and processed and in the 1st place we ship this.
9:13 pm
what do you mean? concentrate, is this the name for it to china? and the reason for this is simply because there is no other conversion plant is able to, to use this material at this moment. and then we get back from china technical intermediate into the field. where we do the refining to, to find a better way to defend voice in the chemical industry town in germany. se location aim jeep picked to set up its industrial production with space to expand initial capacity 5 times. they're still setting up shop here and what maybe come europe's largest lesson refinery, where they are expecting to refund. $20000.00 tons of lift him had dropped side per year in the 1st phase, but his price is for the product crash. recently, investments are tough. people are very, very cautious putting money into listening projects at this point.
9:14 pm
because with the current price level, it's very hard to make an investment case. actually the plant here receive some public subsidies and european governments punched more money for building up the critical mineral sector. recently, european union scripts with raw materials act came into force aiming to eliminate dependence materials supply chains, etc, targets for 2030. that 10 percent of materials should be mind in the you. 40 percent refined within the block and 15 percent recycled here. ready and total, no more than 65 percent of a single materials should be source from one country alone. but despite the built up for finding capacities, the amount of money pledged doesn't yet match the need. if we
9:15 pm
funds into specs for an exam on the caps, that can be single digit 1000000000 yourself just to find exception tonya. and he's looking or finding planning jeremy's expect it to make it then and reaching those goals. they're starting to turn the tables on global materials supply chains, but they won't be able to walk it alone. sourcing raw materials is a growing issue for europe. you and serbia have now signed a historic tact on lithium production. serbia has one of the cotton, its largest deposits, you know, for over $1000000.00 car batteries per year. for the e. u wants to diversify its supplies of other metals to which is why mining activity in southern spain is expanding to boost the use self sufficiency
9:16 pm
leaving scholars in the landscape. i'm with a history of ecological disasters and economic decline. and to lose use mines could now be a crucial boost, the europe self sufficiency. but at what price? this dump truck can transport and $90.00 tons of rubble from the depths of the rio tend to mine from a single trip and, and around the clock operation. the romans were the 1st to mine, metals here, follow the sentries like to buy british companies. i've seen in some of the local architecture. for years the mine was out of operation due to a couple of prices being too low. markets sensitivity is a general problem with minus, okay, as the local man, no soul to, well, most up in the, those samples of a that up we were always dependent on what the mine was closed or open again. so we thought golden times, but difficult ones to say, no, you don't want me to come in. my company got
9:17 pm
a cup of constitutes just 0.38 percent of the rock here. but the enormous asset involved in extracting the metal is not worth while. thanks to market prices, having recovered a blessing to the local community task and look, a couple of people who is young people can now stay here unlock the times when they would move elsewhere or even emigrate. only thing i mean get out in the caves. it, in addition to economic uncertainty, another worry is the minds toxic legacy. a rock residue you across the vast site lies in water, contaminated with heavy metals. for environmental, there's a growing danger to people that laza people go the retention base. and you can see here with these down, so what would already be bonded and south american countries like july and brazil. so america take on what she lake them over, i see harvesting 53000 tons of copper concentrate means grinding down 18000000 tons of rocks. yes, a year. the main via is china,
9:18 pm
while the mind spigot shareholder is a global commodities group based and singapore. the commitment to european self sufficiency evidently, has limits. while i'm to lose you as mine's, i'd be expected to help precisely that cause rich is enough soil or a treasure for on to lose your on the european energy transition new legislation in the u ames to ensure that 10 percent of its strategic role materials is source for men, the countries and resources which on the lucia a new metro rush is on the way. there are a lot of projects here that would be relevant to the new york and the whole set, because on the lose, you have 17 of the 30 critical minerals for the back, which is why that will be new mines will be no longer tearing huge crate is in the end to lose your landscape. of a couple of mine located to just 20 kilometers away from seville, reflects the changes in the sector. everything is in place for future mining
9:19 pm
operations on the ground where there are still enough deposits of contact. that means and it may not be on the ground, mine is obviously less visible where of the opinion that this is the most sensible, profitable, unsustainable option. what is along with, i mean that's what the value of the mind also serves as an example of the potential between a year ago the company was still producing q a compet here, despite money having ceased 3 years earlier, thought of as you go savvy on, we'd put the extraction rock in dry storage. in the previous 3 years, we processed it again, which enabled us to produce $20000.00 tons of compa. i mean, i mean, they go relatively deep. and once the line starts producing underground again, they won't just be for compa. the operator has developed a chemical process that extracts the materials from the rock using land and silver . the company has also started upon the project to extract the material of vital
9:20 pm
importance, the electron mobility and other industries cobalt. it works with the help of bacteria. in monday, august 25th and the material we worked with is waste material from previous processing vehicles. right now we're using residues from couple or containing those metals equal the nipples as i'm in the office. give them dinning and told me that it and not waste material is available in almost unlimited quantities in the region . including from the rio, 10 to mines dump sites. i've sizable wastewater ponds, valuable as the metals may be for modern society. however, environmental, they have great concern title for you because it's not letting me do the i'm only like taking a 100 into the ground to mind minerals that if it's harmful to the environment, can you help me with it's necessary for economic reasons is open to debate that yes, even the society, a economy going thing on those concerns are understandable in 1998
9:21 pm
a down this not far from seville, of which only these ruins remain, its waters contaminated lodge expenses of land nature preserves. to date, the company responsible has still not been brought to justice. 2016 is on the other money companies and under lucia are making efforts to take environmental protection seriously. on the dumb sides by the mon outside seville on now being cleared away, the full of the unsightly crate to is filled in again. the point of all that digging in drilling is to burn less fossil fuels and reduce emissions. principal that's also starting to bear fruit in the farming industry to every year. germany's farm vehicles come but millions of tons of pollutants in the country. south. one farming capital has developed a prototype electric tractor that is cleaner and quieter.
9:22 pm
that's what the diesel truck to sounds like and that's what comes out alongside it's an electric truck to making a different kind of noise and with 0 exhaust. the it was designed by your honda on today is by a hearing bavaria. and it's that contribution to a potential resolution and farming machines. the titles pro, type with a 160 horse power is being put through its paces at the so comic farm outside munich. the the truck to can run for 5 to 8 hours on a single charge. well, there's the actual idea is not so new. for me to find me the okay, go ahead. can we help him behalf of some of the background informing you?
9:23 pm
i used to help out a lot when i was growing up and also my adult to it and sold a large amount of electricity being generated almost on a different type of thing. so it makes sense to use the electricity right here instead of feeding it into the grid. and the electric tract uh does cost up to 60 percent more than a diesel powered machine boss. it's an investment that rapidly pays offsets develop has the help cost, but so ever its entire operational life. the principal costs for a tract, uh, fuel energy on the cup and those costs hit with self generated electricity around 70 to 80 percent cheap. tons of people tend to go inside the additional coverage and pay themselves off up to just 2 to 3000 hours of operation house and look forward to putting the electric tractor to its fast. real test is comfortable because in both not the solar panels on the roots of his phone cover almost his entire electricity to me on the in the queue, nothing. he said this movie,
9:24 pm
stick of a value energy self sufficiency because it gives me great to financial security setup. in vida, i put one locked one and it means i'm less vulnerable to market fluctuations on the grid. just getting from the electric truck to would make him even more self sufficient with high diesel prizes, then no longer in a shame. i'm the cowardice comes with another advantage and they come with the ones that i've ever bought. the electric mesa is are easier to service and have less why? i mean to go fish lies. i think that loves that. they don't stay in core. i met so 2 sides. the less the cool. i don't need any on to pollution of the to because that cleans all that. but that is one drawback. tree comp deliver enough energy when it comes to plowing sales with us that heavy duty jobs
9:25 pm
diff, him from the $500.00 h p truck to run, continue in the, at the high level. so it couldn't be replaced by about trains of, you know, in the foreseeable future, it was currently available. technologies tell me, is the off in opposite, bought a type of lock. so here the solution would be a fuel cell or a diesel generator. but again, that also different levels your honda by a runs the marketing side of things you track to initially struggle to find any bias but with german diesel subsidies to the agricultural sector on the way out, she explains a growing number of farm is having everything set for the garden at home, and that there's been a change of responses and, and the question, i'm 65 and we do now see a clear increase and appreciation of the new technology. i'm sure it's many advantages for the future. it's actually on the financial firms that tyler to house makes. may just ask who manufacturer as a now so joining that move towards electrifying agricultural machinery and thomas cons. open volume book that is already thinking a step ahead. he's planning to use the ta. this is bob treats supplement to solar
9:26 pm
power generation system. as the tractor is nothing you spend most of the day, it can forward it to electricity to his home and farm buildings. a, i can now locate where you'll photos were taken. 3 us students, both in a on a level called pigeon that estimate the location of any picture it receives. it is inspired by the popular online game to get to the use a is placed anywhere in the world on google street view and has to guess the location in the game in, in, in, to a technician, a with a base assess of around 500000 street view images was trained by the students. the results are the ownership. the model picks the correct country, 95 percent of the cases, and usually picks the notation within around 40 kilometers is the correct spot. while this could be used in many constructive ways, the risks of this government could check your photos to no way you have been still
9:27 pm
hang on to view. so also of these threats. and remember, this is just the students project. google is in possession of around 220000000000 street view images and that's it for this edition of made from digging for resources to the future. to farming fish, otherwise in low supply on industrial scale. and changing to the wheel of a tractor that's low on noise and emissions developments connecting business and the environments till next time. do have an a listing week. the key has hopes he could make it to your assistant warehouse. now, hobby is back in his home country of gambia, in west africa, trying to set up
