well, the best friend did mine since when the last time that i base this excited was when i just the what, what did that was right? it was like and then spend some extra music is something that has always been like of the me, somebody that could do that if i think that wouldn't be the book. the environment, trends technology company is digitalization, tops, new market, new media. the world is accelerating. sees the opportunity to try new things, take flights with the that we use business magazine made in town many next on d. w. the untold story. only for detail at this point to be funded

here repos every weekend on d w. the germany has it's dirty little secret and no one really wants to talk about it in the middle of the country. deep underground. there's a storage facility for radioactive waste, from german nuclear plants. it's been leaking for decades. the barrels need to be moved, but no one really knows what to do with them. also coming up to c o. 2 emissions be stored under ground to help protect the environment. are long range electric truck. the wave of the futures and finland needs more workers. but where will they find them

with us a to a form of soap mind that was turned into a radioactive waste storage facility. i know not some of on was for the mines operate task and it's giving us an exclusive tool. and we're ready. so here's, here's the dosage meter please, where the whole time about, pardon me, you're going to type the, this message is the radioactivity part. if there were radioactivity, it would show in the meter, or this is our oxygen in case of emergency. not the best feeling to have to be this repaired. between 19671978, around 826000 drums of low and intermediate level of waste were brought here into the us a to mind. soft. most of it is waste from nuclear,

react as like filters or construction material. a small part as waste from research and medical facilities. but the, the also contains some uranium amplitude you, all of the waste was stored in 13 chambers marked here in red. and it's all still lying around today. for our 1st stop, we're getting as close to the nuclear waste as possible. the neighbor shaking this is the charging chamber has been charging in that case means loading it's about on the crane. used to be over there, the waist would arrive and they would open this shaft here. when she says the barrels would be lowered into the shaft. one at a time and deposited into the storage chamber that's directly beneath us. sometimes with enough right beneath us, then not exactly the highest point of the code is probably right under computer.

these barrows were regular metal knots made to holding radiation. many may have been damaged wellbeing brought in and it's unclear how radioactive the inside of the chamber actually is a very string here we're sending 1213 or 14 meters above the waist and the dosage meter doesn't show any radioactivity going on as well. the exactly, you can see it's registering 0.000. my christopher, it's because the rub comes up. that's because of cells. i packed as an excellent shields that went down here, were exposed to the next spring to ation up at the information center sold. also conducts heat well, meaning that one radioactive waste can cool down without damaging the sold will significantly on top of that contra re truck, it's can expand and float ceiling and filling cavities of its own accord, making a talked to come yet so great in theory, if they wasn't a, there's not so tiny problem with the water because the biggest problem to us a has,

is that there was a lot of water that's leaking into the tunnels. they, more than $500.00 leaks in the mines. the, including the team is with radioactive waste, could fill up with this water to stop that from happening. they operate a, b, g, e is collecting it. we're headed to the main water collection point inside the mind . and you can see the deluxe right up there on the ceiling when there's thousands of dollars. so it's definitely what there before, the liquids that we're catching in the storage base. some of comes from up there. i haven't been offering today about 12000 liters of water poor in every day. it has to be checked for contamination. and this is water is uncontaminated, so it can be exempted by the radiation protection agency and it could be transported above ground to the opera. but the incoming water is not the only problem. when the salt mine was operational, nobody stored this would become

a storage place for nuclear waste to maximize profits. many tunnels were close to each of the safety precautions and support structures were reduced to a minimum to mine as much sold as possible. the pressure of the rock surrounding the sol constantly pushes against the mine and causes cracks. that's why over 90 percent of the mine have to be filled up with sold and concrete to stabilize. and also why a total of over $600.00 people walk here to monitor. and so to secure the mind, the big question really is, how could this have happened on board to dominate its own good offices back then? they wanted to save money by re purposing old mine just come to a dock. the mine was closed in 1964, it wasn't economically viable anymore. that happened to be exactly when the government was looking for a facility we met and they chose the assets on line even though the decision was

already controversial. back then, due to the local geology, the mines relatively advanced age and the risk of leaks when take a fall for the losing the mind costs $800000.00 german locks at the time, which adjusted for inflation would be about 2000000 euros today, seemingly a bug in the growing nucleus, it needed a dumping ground fast, so the risk sweat downplayed the entire project was supposed to be a quick fix. with little 2 knows thoughts sped for the long term consequences. at 1st, also was declared to only be research storage facility use for medical and scientific waste only. but actually almost all of the intermediate and low level waste from west german nuclear reactors was then dumped here in the beginning of the waste was stacked. but after a while, barrels were latrete dumped into the mind to reduce the radioactive exposure of the truck drivers. dump trucks also drove over the waste,

damaging many of the barrels. energy companies didn't pay anything to store, they waste until 1975. and we don't even exactly know which type of waste was dumped because the documentation was very poorly and vaguely done in 1988, what stop leaking in multiple mining soft collapse. but the public is only informed about the magnitude of the problem almost 10 years later. in 1997 to operate the suggests closing the mind with all of the waste inside. the plan does not mention anything about the long term safety and possible contamination in 2008. the news breaks that water has been coming into contact with radioactive waste for years. pools of contaminated water had been collecting right in front of the chambers containing it and the operator had disposed of it inside the mind without permission in 2010, it turns out that 10 times more intermediate nuclear waste is stored and then was

estimated before years of political mishaps involving nuclear power prompt protests across germany. finally, in 2013, the lex effort isn't acted. the government decides that the mind is too dangerous and the waste needs to be taken out. since many of the barrels of damage, no human can enter the chambers, they have to be surveyed by remote controlled cameras like this one and retrieved by remotely operated machines. and you shop must be built to transport the barrels out of the household on this. i'm in the office, they're back to me. yeah. and the challenge is the mind itself which limits what we can do. i'll be losing salt hood did off is like the deformation of the mind is ongoing light and fix the leaks post some level of danger. and time is another factor that's type is on the subaru, that's what was the case. and the worst case scenario would be a leak, is that we couldn't get under control and we'd have to close the mines and leave

the radioactive waste under ground. that waste could eventually come to the surface relevant sites. you got to talk to somebody. and even if we ignore that frightening scenario, all of this is going to cost a lot of money. just preparing for the removal will cost an estimated $4700000000.00 euros. and that does not include any of the retrieval itself, which is scheduled to start in 2033. the waste is supposed to be sorted in an interim overground facility and then transported to, well, where exactly must have kaufman this. we need a final storage site where we can bring the radioactive waste and we don't have that yet. and so we need a temporary location. my suspicion log on as a, it's a symbol of a time when nuclear power have to succeed, come with me. and the long term consequences of the new technology were allowed to be down, played or ignored, of the harmful impact. the c

o 2 emissions are also often down plate or ignored. carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and a true climate killer. one technology called carbon capture and storage could help make it different. the us and norway lead the world in carbon management, and the oil and gas industries have announced a great deal of know how. so could this technology also be used in the cement chemicals and steel industry, the y, or norway end the us ahead of germany and carbon capture and storage? and what is it exactly? both countries benefit from the technical know how of the oil and gas industries. and they're heavily investing in c. c. s. technology. there's no reason government has bosses all the projects was 80 percent funded in rapid norway hydro bag materials began revamping the cement factory last year.

they're installing a carbon capture plant without disrupting daily operations. the german company wants to launch the 1st net 0 cement produced using carbon capture and storage. here's how it works. an industrial facility like the one in a big separates and captures the c o 2 from its smoke stack emissions. the c o 2 is liquefied and shipped to a storage location. then it's injected through a pipeline up to 3 kilometers under the sea, back into deep sandstone formations. the c o 2 can also be stored on land and transported by truck rail or pipelines. so why is it so hard to produce cement without carbon emissions? is the main ingredients also an estimate. and then end up kill process. there's a lot of suited to coming out of the lives, thoughts. this is john toilet you said the 30 year veteran of the cement industry.

we try to to reduce the amount of blinker incidence. that's a decreasing factor, but there is a limit because at the moment you also meant to be a loss. but the form anymore. you will not have to create the list which has the forms that, that it needs so that there are technical limits. ccf technology is intended for use in hard to a page sectors like steel chemicals and the cement industry. industries that can't completely eliminate carbon emissions. but why is a german company coming all the way to norway for this? it's fairly simple, sees yes, technology is banned in germany. economics minister rule that topic wants to change that. he also paid a visit to the big, early adopter norway introduced to cc. i say 1996, now they're investing 1500000000 euros and the long ship project, which inks to show how vast amounts of captured carbon can be safely transported

and locked away under the c bed at a profit. i think this would be if i'm to ship the page that they are interested in, so you try to make money off the stars. this is very like shing, the way to case studies, european climate policy. so they are really asking for, you remember, states do you want to export c o 2, we have the capacity here. we have the technology in northern lights as part of the long ship project owned by the show total and to use and equal nor did some c o 2 storage facility is due to go online. in 2024, the companies have partnered with the norwegian government. they will receive subsidies in the development phase. and in the 1st 10 years of operation, the goal job creation and lucrative business in carbon transport and storage.

industrial partner, how go back to materials is also profiting from the new technology. and so jennifer subsidies, federal help revamp. it's facility the little region. the government has since bought it all out of the project was 80 percent funding. the only investment is a few 100000000 investments, but cash just one of about 140 facilities operated by hydro, back materials, one of the world's largest concrete manufacturers. and they're planning to invest some 1500000000 euros by 2030, including in the us. that's also because president joe biden's inflation reduction act offers financial incentives to companies that invest in carbon capture and storage unit 2023. the largest number of c. c. s facilities were under construction in the u. s. followed by canada and u. k. china and norway and division map to fix the commercial ventures that are already in operation. but why is the us so advanced when it comes to carbon capture

and storage is also important that they don't really have this discussion about how to use the bathrooms, at least not the way we have it in germany. so anything you'd ask you could also capture possible and store it underground to find out more. let's take a look at what's called enhanced oil recovery. a technology that's been employed mainly in north america for more than 50 years. high pressure, c o 2 is injected into an oil field, raising the pressure under ground. the crude oil becomes more of this because it can be pumped to the surface more easily. but what are the risks scientist say that some 150000000000 tons of c o 2 could be stored under the north sea, a region that includes a number of a re protection zones. but what if there's a leak? because possible,

and the biggest problem probably the old waltz. so what we're looking at them all. see as an example, we have something like 17000 welts that have to be drilled in the past both and lost the traits most it to look for and gas. and it's also month to see what, what these old wells least of them was about maybe a cost wasteful seem to be in touch, but it's something that needs to be considerable. let's recap. countries like norway have been on board with c. c. s for quite a while. they have a big technological edge and are subsidizing c c s on a grand scale. that's also true in the us under by your weight. and the us also benefit from the know how up there for oil and gas industries. germany still has to legalize c, c s, and might exports c o 2 to norway. one thing's for sure. the technology is expensive and it's not without risk.

around the world, trucks are on the road day and night. they're essential for all sorts of transport . but they're responsible for a lot of emissions. battery electric trucks are better for the climate. but are they ready for prime time? german carmakers time? no truck says it's new. the truck can trouble 500 kilometers on a single time. so does it live up to its promises? this extra $600.00 truck is out on and delivery. it's the 1st a truck with a range of 500 kilometers on a single charge. so i know man is testing the truck for him on this. one of your ups largest recycling enterprises, the battery will be fully recharged at the depot overnight, which will take about 6 to 8 hours. romando group already has a fleet of some 250 trucks. one has the longest range. will the truck manage the

promised 500 kilometers? by the mercedes dime? there wasn't kidding. we'd manage 500 kilometers on the road. no problem. let us look at shopping. recharged with ream electricity. the trucks are nearly carbon neutral during operation. but for the driver, recharging on the road is still the most important issue. after all, he also wants to make it home. a speedy recharge requires a high voltage current and heavy duty chargers. then it takes just 20 minutes to go from 20 to 80 percent capacity, but there still are nearly enough of these megawatt charging system. and i'm hoping that we need a large scale public charging infrastructure. the manufacturers are ready. they are building a lot of vehicles also in series production position, but in terms of infrastructure, we have a lot of catching up to deal on it and i'm not trucks. home base is in southwestern germany. they're the world's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer. here on the

test track, the truck is being put through its paces. several 100 experts spent 8 years developing it. as far as the project manager. okay, we're going to break quickly. careful. hang on. the truck retails for about 250000 bureaus over 800000 euros more than a comparable diesel model. timely or size mass production will help lower the price . top speed is 80 kilometers an hour. the speed limit for trucks and germany's autobahn and it's printing with radar distance sensors. and innovative mirror can 3 battery packs, weight 4.5, metric tons and all, and generate a peak output of 600 kilowatt. the

e trucks are also quieter than their conventional diesel counterparts and other manufacturers are getting on board dutch manufacturer dots. the truck has a range of nearly 500 kilometers suite in sonia a truck clocks and a 350 kilometers. and m a in 2025 release will support a range of 400 kilometers romando thought its 1st e truck some time ago for the company. it makes good financial sense but it's called the affordable electricity in my home depot. and the total exemption are 2 advantages over diesel, and when i drive a long distance, it starts to pay off. it's from dr. an early 2024. germany ended it's purchase subsidies for e trucks. not long before though motorway tools for diesel trucks were doubled with the aim of encouraging the switch away from diesel. much to the annoyance of germany's trucking industry. facts behind the wheel step

and your mind says the switch to electric does take some getting used to specific. instead of my foot, i'm apply the break by hand. there's a hill. so i've dialed back the seller reader my feet around the floor is nowhere too fast? so a switch to recuperation. it's just like putting the brake on the electric motor. as a coast downhill, the battery charge increases from 82 to 83 percent. the trucking industry is that germany needs to reintroduce subsidies for each trucks to boost domestic sales. but at the end of the day, it's range that will matter most. and each truck makers haven't yet reached the end of the road. the skilled worker that are in high demand,

the countries around the world are scrambling to recruit them. that sounds like a golden opportunity for highly trained workers. but it's not quite that easy. there are a lot of hurdles for workers from other countries. take finland, for example. experts say it needs $44000.00 additional workers a year to keep the economy humming. but those workers facing additional obstacles. finish is one of the hardest languages in the world to learn the at this helsinki restaurant good burgers and fries, and goodwill are more important in fluent finish. i understand them quite a good parent company of this restaurant s group been lens largest retailer. wants to make this country more attractive to job seekers and does not require them to speak spanish. one of the world, the most difficult languages, but elsewhere this is part of a divisive question in finland. this economy needs an estimated 44000 immigrant

workers every year. that are they welcome. the experience of francisco marie to garcia a former lawyer from mexico, shows how the situation is evolving. when he moved here with his finish wife 10 years ago, he couldn't speak the language and had 0 premier options in west har. uh, i would say that after i like, ponderous i apply a lot of times. i didn't even have a new single interview. read a garcia, learned finish, and changed careers, starting at the bottom in the fast food industry. now he's a manager and s groups decision to drop. the language requirements allows him to hire people who situations he understand. escripts human resources to kind of lift a variety is fully behind this policy and the decision to future foreign workers, including money to garcia on the cover of the company magazine, praising them as valuable assets and urging customers to be or taller. and we know

in the future there will not be enough people to work in service sectors in care. and so we definitely need to improve on learn how to, how to bring people from different countries to work and a lot. but the finish government is not on that same page, is currently considering a law that would force most foreign workers to leave the country within 3 months if they lose their job plus yourself. and then is the migration expert with the city of helsinki. he laments that the current government pressured by the right wing fins, party support positions like the 3 months rule which confuse policies of immigrant workers with asylum seekers. the fin, spotty, is actually it's very strongly against refugee migration bought as a part of that. and to bessie to us that form of migration,

very much much harm is being done to our immigration policy. in general, this drop in spanish class is aimed at helping foreigners, both with language and confidence. accountant. we see an engine originally from indonesia is unemployed for the 1st time in 2 decades and says every application still requires fluent finish. the situation is not easy, but then i cannot just give a side on mine. the wreck in the 1st start of or cleaning or, and with birth rates continuing to fall, finish, need to get real about how they're going to maintain their economy and social system. in the meantime though, the countries image as an attractive place to live in work is suffering in a global survey of 12000 x pads. finland has plunged from number 16 last year to 51. now that's all for this

edition of made with the look at all challenges and new solutions for nuclear waste and carbon dioxide storage to recent developments and electro mobility take care and see you next time the freedom sign russian artist sessions coaching cause was in jail for 2 years because he is criticized the russian racing against. do we measure in southern germany? what was it not contain? and why was she eventually released the focus on human c minutes on the w conflicts own ukraine is facing another bitter winter as well with russia. and this meant even a without the equipment needed to wait. and my guess this week is kara roodick or
