to june, more thoughts? now when the story inform, migrate, reliable news from migraines. wherever they may be. do you struggle to cope with extreme heat? you're not the only one, because temperatures around the 40 degree celsius, small company, deadly. according to a study conducted by the boss, learning institute for global health europe alone, sol from 47008 related deaths and 2023. an ongoing climate change means that things are going to get hotter more frequently and for longer. in india, temperatures tops 50 degrees celsius in 2024, where the vast or in saudi arabia most pain teed waves, have a power lines the effect on labor day life. and i cannot make impact researches and seville and devising solutions for making the city a cooler one. and also in this edition of made
4:31 pm
a heating system that can switch to a cooling one. why sweet and it's setting the pace when it comes to emissions plus a portable plugin power station for green energy on the go it's temperature source and the streets empty here in seville. so do the shops. bad news, especially for small retailers, committed to the stores like how is the location of the city center sales? i've always been lois from the end of june through august. they seem for the, you know, the city has put up fabric shades to protect pedestrians from the sun. but shopkeepers also feel the heat and july and august are more low season for hotels to assess
4:32 pm
a light in the hotels of started developing spaces that they didn't use to eh, call such as the outdoor patio, including swimming pools, the guests to enjoy it. okay. no, it wasn't very common in seville 10 or 15 years ago. the a continue one prospect for seville. this open plan space is very popular when it's just too hot outside our d a. so it is 30 degrees celsius in here for the $42.00 outside, and that's a huge difference that would be put in today, but it's on the building on the cities former expo grounds. it's called car to how cannot. and it's literally cool engineers from the university of seville set out to make the public space plants. and even in 40 degree celsius, he's without simply installing giant air conditioning units. look at some of the, in the created spaces where people can feel comfortable about photo times of the day. safe, a new system via and that'll be in which they can also use directly ation. and
4:33 pm
whatever they want us to, the devices are increasing the most and more and more locations around the world you might have passed. the of the climate change is not just about one. the city is a global issue. all the colors, the noise in the people won't be of the cooling, works with water stored in underground tanks to come out system developed by ancient persians. it's used she'll be here and blow it through the buildings, floor and walls. the cooling water even flows through the roof and under ground, the buildings basement is full of pumps and filters. too much technology and ultimately a waste of energy for that. but it's a look i don't know to get hold of. it might seem that way. the energy that we generate with rooftop solar panels is actually mold and we need. i landed here in billings, so it sustainable. i think it's almost up to me really is the water stored under ground and nighttime evaporative cooling are what makes the system work?
4:34 pm
the team shows us just how during the day it looks like when the night sky is pretty f o. the heat is released into the yeah, the water, the drove and we storage again the what we have to last time explore the water. i don't know, there are about 20 degrees celsius of everything that all the newer lanes and seville old town provide shelter from the summer heat and contrast to the newer neighborhoods which are fully exposed to the sun and deserted in the afternoon. it's here, this is sunny. just want to introduce some fresh air. and it's a golfer lab last time that we chose the paving caffeinated volume and in the future will have a lot of shade on the leasing tree. and we just planted, i had that feeling for the low, so i don't know, it would be a kind of giant power. so that will adjust itself to the vegetation. but i certainly guess i'll tell you that we also have the bio cuz i'm i take the image, the name of oh, i'm down then we have a series of leave is that blow out code and that's maybe that. or he can vote as i
4:35 pm
later for you. this also uses the cannot technology and has a fountain design to block hot wind and cool the air at the same time. when will happen at a hotel many, they will be a rest area. and on and then go to treatment data will reduce the temperature for by 10 degrees celsius. i will feel the same while i'm in the square was supposed to be fully functional this summer that was delayed by an error. and the proposal, which is also affected the teams late, it's project a cooling boss, stuff. it's worked so far as a land prototype with its rainwater base cooling circuit and solar power and pumps pitch shouldn't be sustainable. bus dumps play a key role during heat waves because we install them throughout the city on of a heat shelter networks. recent studies have shown just to urgently needed such cooling spaces are hotter weather costs as taurus to spend less money or stay away
4:36 pm
altogether. a problem in the future, se tourism experts to let the temperatures keep rising tourists. cool things twice about traveling for the reset on places like most. yeah. or extra not do it right there, my buddha. it'll be a challenge, just like it's already a challenge to travel just central morocco is when we complete the interview or the regular the researchers findings and innovations and seville are available to the public, as they're not patented. the teams priorities to ensure that people can actively enjoy life in the heat or on a hot day. funds can be a real blessing. do you have enough at home? how about air conditioning systems, except the real power goes to less on don't exactly score high on the environmental
4:37 pm
front. how about introducing cool air into buildings? all know that you taishan or turning the tables with eating systems that can work in reverse. the sun is blazing deep wakes with temperatures of over 30 degrees celsius, are becoming increasingly common in germany. it makes one variable conditions, especially in older buildings and in attic apartments like stephanie miller's for her climate change is happening at home and the doctor. so i was wondering what out my apartment is right under the roof, and it's on the babel that time. i just will push when now have really long periods where it's sometimes around 36 degrees and sign on to target and have a show effect. so sleeping is next to impossible as a flash sale for lucas. it's even worse due to construction work on the doorstep. modern feels thermal heating system is being installed to cool apartments during the summer. this machine is drilling 100 meters below the surface,
4:38 pm
long pipes cold probes will be inserted into the boar holes. a mixture of water and empty freeze, known as brine will flow through them during winter. a heat pump in the basement will extract heat from the liquid and use it to warm the apartment block. conventional heat pump technology was developed further so that it can be used for cooling and summer pleasures will cook ground is always cooler than the inside of a building and this week. and that's why we also circulate the brian by these products. and sometimes it's going to work with young, disclose the floor, and the heat from the building can be transported into the bowl drama. almost in boy, the con dot can be stored for the coming winter when so the regeneration, so to speak, to him, and dispose of the welding thanks to the heat that stored in the ground during the summer. the pump functions more effectively than conventional systems during the winter, apart from the heat pump and the pipes in the basement, the old system didn't have to be changed. it led to huge cost saving, says bella,
4:39 pm
humbled from a housing association in the eastern city of leipzig. he had the new system installed in an apartment block with around 100 homes. the spent around half a 1000000 euros. his initial assessment is that it's already paying off the vision i have to, we expect to lo uh, heating costs by around 50 percent of your tenants can also have cooler homes in the central look through to and didn't come in. stephanie miller has received a new radiator valves for her part. during summer time, she sets them to cool the radiators react immediately. she says it's worked well in the recent weeks. as i had it in, i have the impression that it worked this summer. i think when i touched the radiologist as i felt the wind nice and cool as it has come of unction crew and it was pleasant in the apartment thermal energy expert on v comcast says that
4:40 pm
technology can be used anywhere where people suffer from too much heat in the summer the adapting to climate change and shooting ourselves from the heat is certainly sensible. we also need to put the brakes on global warming, but lowering carbon dioxide emissions is proving problematic. the international energy outlook report forecast is the 15 percent rise in energy related c o. 2 output by 2050 a huge challenge with the energy sector alone, the biggest greenhouse gas pollutants. but showing the world that there are other options is sweetened. the country has a decades old climate friendly energy policy, which has produced some pretty remarkable results.
4:41 pm
when i say sweden, you most probably think of ikea about ends think you can fish of the country actually pulls off another remarkable seat that deserves more attention. mister farmer, in your way comes to we do you think we don't need to reduce welfare to reduce your traffic impact that is a message to the wall. that's so important. and that's what all they set themselves, the world's toughest climate target, and on track to meet it. so what us we've been doing better than others. let's take a look at how it became a role model on climate and what other countries come to and from the success story we even have some natural advantages. i mean, just look at all of that last green forest, 70 percent of sweetness, forest, land, and forest. a very useful when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions because dave, and we'll see you too, from the atmosphere. the country is also blessed with
4:42 pm
a lot of wind. just look in the long coastline and then the all these big lakes, perfect for hydro power. but it wasn't just shooting the natural resources. jack black, that's got the country to where it is now. it's being realized, it's natural potentially early on. instead of investing in the new, the energy sources much earlier than many other countries. we just started very, i need to cut out fossil fuels from our energy mix. they started already in the seventy's when sweet and built out new care cords and all that. then the global oil crisis, it and countries we're looking for other sources of energy. those talk to a speedo to cut out for you from our energy mix. today almost 70 percent of students. electricity comes from renewables, especially hydropower and wind. the rest of the electricity demand is met by nuclear power. we have gotten emissions on the email efficiency promotions are almost 0 right now. so the i o was not using any fossil fuels for,
4:43 pm
for using electricity. what's most stunning though is that speed in minutes to clean up its act. what also growing its economy and all of this and having the industrialized country, which makes steel cement and cars. it's this combination of innovative climate and industrial policy that's, that's being a part or leaving them just got rid of fossil fuels and the electricity production. but also when it comes to providing heat for buildings and industrial processes. and that's quite special for a whole country. so what was the trick there? the 1st step was that's being invested in district heating systems early on, which is more efficient. this means that instead of having a huge shown, you build big, centralized heaters that are connected to lots of houses and industrial areas through insulated pipes. and i'm a current infrastructure. this is quite a big undertaking. you need the government and the private sector to work together to provide this infrastructure. it's also quite expensive. just think of all the
4:44 pm
piping you need to lay across and try unable. that's not the less the government decided to go for this approach early on and stuck with it. and in the past 20 years, heat pumps have also become very popular and speed happily anywhere else in europe and they use as much per capita as speed. when more than half of our residential houses have installed them, these kind of work like a reversed ac and they run the electricity the miles and the rates. we have seen the last 30 years of the emissions from electricity and cheating, which is often difficult sector for many countries, suite amount us to reduce emissions by 70 percent in 30 years time. so that also shows the big, big boat changes are possible. and these big ball changes didn't come out of an air speed and is implemented clear kind of policy. since the mentioned ninety's, such as introducing one of the world's 1st and by now one of to both highest crime,
4:45 pm
texas, charging industries and individuals for the carbon dioxide damage. when the actual stress discussed, it really became a very wide agreement that this is 2 ways more and as, as, as we're the fact is not a single party and speech part of the human question to call women 2019 and peel case studies found at the speed of carbon tax had a single it's like an impact on c o. 2 emissions. it was responsible for 6 percent decline of the emissions sometimes. but in an average year there's a clear message was either weird or something that's bad, pretty aware of it. and we have to pay to fax, what do we do? something that's better. i went off next and the carbon tax spark innovation. but for the students industry, i had almost 10 percent of sweden's clement name that comes from the steel industry because they use this file for fuels suite in the ames to become the ones 1st in producing large quantities of full sized free steel using green hydrogen instead of the fossil fuels and vicious and my reason because he has been uh uh,
4:46 pm
increasing speed of competitiveness. this also translates to the way speeding is investing in the future as quite large who is being the schools in the educational system on engineering. and on scientific day and all of these, and we see for example, it squeezes is quite a little bit squinty when it comes to song specifics. specific titles, renewable energy. and while in many countries, the public would revolt against any new tax, acceptance and speeding has been high. and this is true across the political spectrum. 7 out of 8 parties agreed on the world's most stringent climate target in 2017, already to be met 0 by 2045. so it really seems like speed on concept of foot wrong when it comes to kind of policy, or can they? well, yes, i could, culture is one sector what it's been little to no progress when it comes to reducing emissions at the country's biggest problem, child is the transport sector. that's what most of students emissions currently come from. and as an important sector, after all,
4:47 pm
speed in may not have many people, but it's a country of long distances. but the spider versus target's progress. and so we are expecting to see increased emissions again from the transport sector. for years, sweden had been introducing incentives to reduce transport emissions without the state having to pay for the french thousands. we know over the usage buying electrical biomass cards. you will be given a bonus by the government. but if you chose to still have or to buy a new gas guzzling as you read, you want us to pay an extra the x. and so the money given to the best cars was paid for by the money coming from the worst cars. but lately, sweden seems to be, i'm doing some of the successes specifically in a transport sector suite has no conservative government, which came into power on september 2022 has wrote back some important policies in light of reason, crises, it has lowered patch one diesel tax us by a quarter, which means to be now as the model, lowest prices on diesel and gasoline in europe. it also introduced other measures
4:48 pm
that make it less expensive to drive the car, while abolishing the incentives that were previously offered to buy electric vehicles. on the bright side, the government also promised that these new metros will only be short term and will be lifted again as soon as speeds economy kicks back up. so yeah, speeding as an almost perfect draw model in terms of time of policy. you know, i think industries that, yes, it's gonna be possible to produce electricity went out and i think we have got some issues at all. and it's maybe it's all part of the countries in what speed has experience can also show that it pays off in the long run. when the state introduces tough time and policies that will give you the green businesses, degree and job, maybe honestly and explore the income that you can use for things that you are very well far better schooling and so far. and this can only work if all of society is on board the are you also learned about machines one day taking, you know, but not just odd jobs, but our lives, the stuff of science fiction. for now. what is already clear is that artificial
4:49 pm
intelligence with his awesome computing power is boosting productivity. but how about using ai for the fight against climate change and making it a create the can a, i save the climate, the lawn mower style, i'm sure the car won't go. factories grinds to a halt. that could happen if he decides what's climate friendly and what isn't. as long as it does, what artificial intelligence does best calculate everything? exactly. yeah, i could react to c o 2 emissions in real time, for example, by stopping cars when air quality drops. how would that work? a i could use data contained in household appliances, like coffee makers and dishwasher's to measure c o. 2 emissions and emissions
4:50 pm
dropped below a pre determined limit. everything starts working again. you can even ask a i how much longer the dishwasher will be on a. i could also manage other environmental problems like the rowing mountains of garbage entech style waste, energy production wouldn't benefit as well. the advantage. everything would be based on hard data taking climate action out of the hands of government the. but that would be the disadvantages to a i would have to collect immense amounts of our data threatening personal privacy . now and to process all that data itself would require huge amounts of energy and that would increase c o 2 emissions. dramatic digital systems and data centers already consume 4 percent of the world's electricity. that number rises to 8 percent when we include all of our devices. hey, i would increase that many times over. but even if there were big advancements
4:51 pm
in green a i, there would still be a problem for a i to save the climate. every country on earth would have to participate, and that would bring us back to politics the of the reassuring sound of the good old diesel generator. a trusty friend when there's a power outage which can be critical in hospitals. but for all the crushes, proof credentials. they're serious noise on the air pollutants in the air of climate change, not exact the flavor of the day. but if you're out camping or somewhere else with no power available, there is now an environmentally friendly alternative. the
4:52 pm
this cool little video is actually an ad. for portable battery power packs used to places like music festivals, greek for impromptu jobs involving power tools or jet washers. they look really good that of slots. and the lights, the lights, why it's enough that you can, there's one pass and pick them up. put them in developed activity coast by the insight then to the next job. the leon ha, device construction company and south west germany, uses the against the grid power packs for welding work on steel girders instead of diesel generators. this workers mask only needs to protect him from flying sparks, but not dirty fuse. the batteries posts up to 90 percent lower emissions. the company already has around $300.00 power packs and use on it's building sites. for welding jobs, the battery is good for a full 12 hours visit. we just dig into the bill. besides,
4:53 pm
we saw it as an alternative to existing power units. they be able to have it all by to here and we want that our stuff to have an additional option. i'm so that's the most like and we've left the noise on site on a better work environment to the voice mail, supposed to be sent on with no emissions in that direct vicinity to kind of i've got the vincent alternative product to classic is how it generated some taxes, it's almost like a buy one. the batteries are being increasingly used for ambulances and other mobile work settings. their maker against the grid was founded in the south west german city of looked exports in 2018. the company now has a 170 strong and very international workforce busy developing and surfacing the high performance batteries and put staples as also on both of these questions looking on to pause essentially, it's a power station i've seen in everyday life fiscal camping for example, who does these is good at email, except that this device has been optimized for industry customers on time and need a very high capacity. and so licensed phase car kauffman,
4:54 pm
i'm just on document thinking deep into a bag of tricks to develop our own power electronics license electronic and our focus on construct it as a single unit of cobalt speaking last time. instead, we divided the device into $24.00 small units, each with the one small battery pack on a small input to find in data. and those 24 and voters are then connected via real fast controller and a complex piece of software to work as a unit. so some folks, and young insta grid has sold almost $30000.00 packs to customers in europe and the us with demand continuing to rise despite a price tag of around $3.00 and a half 1000 bureaus is computed hospital one to democracy. there are a lot of challenges. we worked out that around $60000000.00 small combustion generators hit the market every year. not including cost of this with the we have a long way to go until we've replaced all the components. if i want idea would be to create devices that are cheaper and not going to be connected to provide greater flexibility for construction firms. there's also the issue of recharging. another
4:55 pm
thing diesel generators have traditionally been used for the career. so that was for the biggest challenge now science right now is infrastructure tool. where do we get the power from to recharge? the instagram? how gotten the open sonoma right now? i can cover a certain period of time. i'm not sure that i need another power source of money. get a tough saladas. one option has solar power modules, except they're also not available on the changing construction sites. which is also an issue at the secret garden party festival. which is why they still need the diesel generators to charge the batteries. ideally, they have against the grids with a higher and longer capacity. not least with facility, but he's continuing to long into the nice this edition of made was about forward looking solutions for making the world
