wants to be more coverage on this through the day to stay with data munoz. i'm very strategy invalid. thank you so much for joining us today. and this is the take a look around havana and you can still see signs of the us all the time. industries glorious past, but some of the old calls won't get you very far off in the factories that once built them. now line and ribbons. will this also be the fate of germany's largest common you factor a v w. how's it failed to recognize the signs of the times? is also amazed today. the sustainable kerosene will flying soon be green up. solar panels. how difficult holiday to recycle. i accept. so i

like to how to get ships to great heights. the . this is how pictures were taken 50 years ago. then photography went digital and form a market giant. kodak lost its dominance. this is how phone calls were made 25 years ago. then smartphones came along and the former market giant, nokia lost its dominance. the ends now, what's happening in the automotive industry. a car today is not the same as it was 10 years ago. immaculate body work is still nice, but no longer as important, and a powerful combustion engine. it's no longer up to date having been replaced by an electric motor. what's crucial now is how good is the battery?

and that's where the problem lies. great, i've seen makers combined. they have an over whelming dumping is off the global batch fee. the markets especially no for the automotive industry, scale is of massive, important to see in order to to get the lowest possible prices. and this is a critical aspect for successful give, i think vehicles lower the price to market this electric car from vw has won awards. the id seven's battery can last over 700 kilometers on a single charge. but the entry price in europe is $55000.00 bureaus. chinese electric cars could soon enter the european market at significantly lower price points. and conversely, vw already has a sales problem in china with its expensive models. there's also technological innovation. cars are becoming rolling computers in the future is the s d v, the software to find the vehicle which focuses on the cars electronic architecture

. well, the software is already open and i think important this and this will only grow. this is something that can be compared to the transition from the mobile phone to the smartphone, but changed in dolton. what you mean must be takes longer than in the mobile phones sector, but, but in the end, let's say the consequences are going to be very similar. that means combustion engine manufacturers must now turn into i t companies. that's why v w was founded as software subsidiary courtyard. his burn through a lot of money so far, but his yet to deliver even the automotive industry supported institute sees it that way. a system that to do, it's clear that folks aren't as a car company and not an i t company. and here you can see weaknesses and shortcomings. but on the other hand, there's also a lack of skilled workers. however, the s d v, the software defined vehicle is definitely recognized as the future is still feeling for the vw has sunk partners for its

software. use electric con maker with the in for the us market and shout pung for the chinese market. however, observers the risks and this strategy at the moment from the top 10 global part makers more than half as already it looks like acquired vehicle electronic platforms, from trainees against. but the problem is that as you go down that path, let's say either you managed to develop something better than a chinese audience, or then you become technologically dependent from them. so there are major risk for the future. and v w is all ready in a serious crisis. the board wants to say 5000000000 yours. at least 3 plans will close workers of protesting, asking why shareholders receive such a large dividends this summer. now the demand and extension of job guarantees tend

to 7 percent wage increase. vfw fees is severe, internal conflicts, and at the same time, complex reforms into the dentist, the theme overall this corporation has grown both organically and in organically understood bucks and they spend money. what do you have 9 brands plus of course, the respect to financial services and the whole sales organization behind it globally. since the 1950s. it's like a shoot ship, a giant tanker. it's just him. i'm using shift. amazing town. good. and now how long will it take to turn the giant ship around corporate culture, which is like this invisible enemy that it's a little bit like, basically rolling against the time you move, but you move very slow and i'd great expense. can european carmakers adapt quickly, or do they face the feet of kodak into nokia?

not necessarily says the observer, but they should be aware of the danger. for this deal, perhaps too much thinking were very good, were the best. and uh, unfortunately the balance of power was changing. so that's all the say, the 1st step to, to solve the problem is to fully acknowledge the problem. more than 680000 people work for vw. last year, the company sold over 9000000 cars that made v w, the 2nd largest car maker in the world after toyota. the flying is also set to become green on electric engines that currently are the possible for smaller planes, but not for larger rac croft. and the infrastructure of the hydrogen propulsion isn't that yet. size of a transitional solution is needed like gradually as being sustainable fuel to kerosene. we take a look at how spain is starting to slide green modern

air bus a 350 from spanish airlines. buria is preparing for take off in mexico. it seems routine, but something notable just happened during refueling, a small amount of s a s sustainable aviation, some also called sustainable kerosene was added. although it's optional. now starting january 1st, it will be mandatory and began to put into sports into the office with a to do some plan style and will rate of 70 percent by 2050. got it. so seeing if you got kids, that means that stuff, you know, that you will be required to a substitute. he's had a stuff. but how is it so you made? we start our journey and carts a hiena on the mediterranean coast. we're energy company rep, so it has a large, refinery and recently added center, an s a f production plant,

a supplement benefit to medium. the last step in this plan to naples, us to provide our gas stations, water within 100 percent. renewable fuels for the cars and to produce bio kerosene . okay. and as a, as a for the spanish aviation market. so i'll send you a list of the medical us, plenty of red. so has invested 250000000 euros to transform this brown liquid into fuel for both cars and planes. but what exactly goes into it? we continue inland to food, produce orders. dante in nevada. the universe, us overseeing the refinery, is producing sunflower oil. it's by product of the green paste is produced and such quantities that tankers are needed to all the way regularly. this isn't waste because what we produce will always be of interest to other companies as materials for that product. this green paste and

similar waste from across spain is processed at a nearby refinery chemist maria garcia, explains the steps involved in her lab and what makes this process so intriguing look at them, was there somebody that sounds, i mean the retreat it was seen as an asset to separate the only phase i've had a lot of the pop we want to extract because then my from the aqueous phase effect size. that i say of course the. and they're using sense from waste, which is different than earlier biofuels. what's processed here comes from by products from cooking oil production and deep fry has in restaurants, not oil is cultivated specifically for fuel. this liquid becomes biodiesel and bio kerosene. those spain is the world's largest olive oil producer, generating plenty of waste. the supply is limited. the competition for these

resources is fierce fragmentation 1000000000 does competition the most important piece, but we've prepared for it by securing access to these materials for yes, the next day. so i thought it doesn't want, that is all the fact is also exploring fat extraction from sewage, sludge diversifying sources is key, but rep so knows these choices won't be sufficient in the medium term. as for the next step, yes, then we're testing animal fats and other new raw materials in the pipeline which were trialing entirely plants which will gradually integrate into our operations and sound supplement rate. $250.00 scientist says, read cells research center are racing to find additional sources. robots analyzed various samples and formulations around the clock, including green waste. loving it'd be in the people in the benefit of this kind of

raw material is that it's far more abundant. st. cooking oils or other oil leeway as the was before the people don't, don't face, it'll pull, it'll be cited safety for them. i think if we can use this solid green stano, it allows for much higher biofuel production. a few moments a almost the live female rep. so currently produces enough. and so you have to meet springs demand for 100 percent, bio diesel and 2 percent bio kerosene. but europe faces of bottleneck, especially with the goal of using 6 percent biofuel. in aviation by 2030 in this i guess i'm from, we need to start now and implants, or other operational port in the planning stages, but without significant investment in so you have projects. now we won't hit our 2030 target to, to invest in the image subsidizing and take them off in the shop. currently, the lack of production capacity in europe is one issue for springs air traffic.

however, the outlook could be better in the medium term as well. but anybody in is in a privileged position compared to other e u countries of the one, we have a lower renewable electricity, production costs, etc. and a lovely may not giving us the potential to lead in renewable energy development within the new owners. then to the barriers. these s a f as an opportunity for rule development as well. the way to send it as we get this could bring prosperity and improve regional coexistence by establishing industries in areas currently knocking well on us. such as springs be populated regions and now they don't mean that those are precisely why everyone materials and renewable energy are available yet and a lovely. but what does this mean for air travel as a yeah of costs more than fossil based kerosene? well, i said i must go to flying, will become more expensive. unfortunately,

at least a fast interpreter look if someone can just have a handle. but with working to lowest soft prices quickly by ramping up production a lot, this perceive live. but the most products you on and so you have generate significantly fewer c o 2 emissions then conventional kerosene. yet it still burns in internal combustion engines meeting other pollutants flying with this a f as they are for only less dirty, not truly clean for this to think it's the environment to list people latino recycling valuable metals whose extraction is harmful to the environment to in particular focus, recycling is common place the plastics, clothing, and even call tires. but what about environmental technology such as solar panels, over pull to investigate we might have a teen tiny problem with. so no, and there's no reason for these energy is not what started delivering clean energy

in the 19 fifties and took off in the late 2000 is now ready for the downstairs because the technology is trash. but because solar panels are built to last 22, so soon we could be looking at 27000000 tons of out of date solar waste and only a tiny fraction gets recycled. route, 82 percent of old pamphlets off landfills. big from one in plastics end up in the environments to precious metals with go to ways and 3. recycling saves emissions. so i'm hand the front jobs to find a fix. and this has to do with baking and bathing. now we had roses, founded in 2017 day one of the pioneers and so that was psych, antoine solo joint rosie 4 years ago. basically, a solar panel is made of

a few main ingredients that need to be separated during the recycling process. you've got tempered glass in the front photovoltaic cells with silicon silver and copper some a plus the glue that holds everything together. a plastic backseat and an aluminum frame. and it's the glue that's the problem because it is literally everywhere lost and no aluminum frame, right? so even when you now remove this and you still can't access the cells, right, exactly. you have different types of clothing. there's even more years. there's even more. oh wow. this is difficult. so. yeah. so the 1st step is to get rid of the plastics. the panels get put into this big grey fun, and because rosie is still in the pets and think process. everything today is pretty much top secret. the mazda mind behind this process

is d. c, c, u, c, t, o, and co phone to off, rosie. you can really feel that he can really really hot. that's really hard. so we don't physically hold on the panels, bake full between one and a half and 6 hours, turning the plastics inside into gas. what is really important when you look at this process because it depends on the temperature, how the panels of sex. what makes the difference? what we uh, we manage to do is to improve the genetic regulation of the oven, depending on the, on the, on the sole spot that your i've so the, the most used to contribute to the process is not, i know, but we have paid old. it's a combination of the 2, it's covered,

meaning we use the energy from the load your to piece a deal done so we can save energy. so it's a combination of the copying between the machines. a quick man deals on the field with the combination of the 2 makes it makes it more efficient. rosie sends hazardous gases and exhaust fumes through a 5 stage filtering system. they say only c o 2 and once a vapor released and the ends and this is what solar panels look like, asked to be baked in the oven dispatch is about 20 kilos and represents the content of one. so the panel you can see the glass, you can see the silicon waivers which are like super thin. yeah. and you can just move. yeah. and then you've got the now this mess goes into the next range on the sheet switch, take on the saw things up. when you look at

a typical solar panel from the weight perspective, it's about 76 percent last 10 percent. plastic 8 percent aluminum, 5 percent silicon, one percent copper and 0 point one percent silver. and it's that really valuable silva, that's the main goal of this whole process. though 1st, we need to extract the copper and glass. after this thousands of pieces of fault of a take selves and now in these containers that go through a set of $5.00 to $8.00 chemical what both that are connected to each other. here the silicon episode of us separated from one another. it is these tiny, tiny silver lines that we are talking about to you then jump into solar panel is to make the electricity available for an entire year's oil storage in a battery, for example, with a combination of thermal and mechanical and chemical recycling steps, rosie says they able to recover 99 percent of the glass aluminum and copper 90

percent of the silicon and 95 percent of the serve. which means that that gets about 10 us dollars. walk of silva out of each solar panels. the other stuff, class aluminum copper and silicon is, was not that far, but of course, the recovered materials cost full then bunch of materials. do you have the feeling that companies are willing to pay the is premiums that you have full, recycled material? yeah, unfortunately the don't say the premium, but today all the big company is on funny is in europe has very strong targets on c o 2 reduction and using recycling that they owe these a very good way for them to reduce their c o 2 emission from their rule materials. luckily for rosie and fonts, is a so called gauge feed that every solar and pull to or cell must pay to recycling companies to make sure solar panels of ride fully taken care of. at their end of

life. rosie say that can process around $3000.00 tons of solar panels per year here . not really that much compared to the millions of tons of trash expected in the upcoming years. and it's not even enough for them to break even. but they are already planning to build a facility 10 times bigger than germany, which should be able to handle $30000.00 tons per year. at the same time up scaling such processes is a real challenge. as the c o told me the, so it's a very big scale recycling sites. we'll have to organize it very well. the operate test engineers, technicians to or the cheese ability system and also how to integrate the operate test. so human beings with the automation to reduce the cost, to protect, to

a maximum, the safety of the, of the sites. another way to make this whole thing easier and that wouldn't require an engineering. the recycling process to perfection is to re design these solar panels and make them easier to recycle. adopts, research body has develop what they call a release and capture then a type of treatment is racked into the problem is that makes them easier to get rid of doing the recycling process, like pressing a button and everything goes the what's the most amazing elevate to use that they've been in, was it the biggest foss this highest or with the best, the best it was nothing compared to the challenge of hoisting an entire congo shipped to the top. and this next piece will show you a german most a piece. simply sail in end up, you go 36 meters higher to continue the journey.

this was what we've done. here is a marble of durban engineering. similar structures exist all over the world like this one in china. so it's very reliable. it's hardly ever down all by talking with a cost must be gigantic, isn't even worth it. the concept is as simple as it is brilliant and cost effective ships enter a basin and to be open. so i just sealed 10 minutes later they raised the barrier is lowered, and they're on their way, using only a few kilowatt hours of electricity. the police have got a good yacht i. this is due to the ingeniously simple counter weight system which

balances the 10000 ton basically with counter wait, what's allowing minimal force to move or stop the peace and the equal to the, the thing by the law, positional but constructing the lift came in a cost of 520000000 euro. why invest in something so expensive? except the north finish cut. yeah, and these are still we need to overcome 36 meters here. we just have 400 years ago and that's the old speedo canal and managed basically it's a 17 logs, but it to and a long time just cuz that was also an issue 90 years ago, which led to the construction of the original ship lift. right next to where the new one is now, it was the 1st of its kind then as now, speed was essential as this canal is eastern, germany's only connection to the inland waterway network and the see the best guns is close. the whole thing is basically quadruple

reinforce texas, meaning in terms of stability in the components entered your ability. yeah, it was very much the last and they were worried about making the mistake when that they use the highest quality metals available at the time, the best and steal everything they've jeremy industry had to offer between 192719348 still works on today. that's fulton. yep. it's hard to and to serve as a model for other ship live. it's worldwide. including the 3 gorges dam in china. and in scotland, where the world's only rotating shovel lift has become a top tourist attraction, team germany, the old lift, now serves as a backup for the new one, which occasionally malfunctions halting shipping. the. the one thing to keep in mind is that we process $7000.00 signals every 10th of a 2nd, which have to be analyzed and related back to the sensors and motors. occasionally,

a signal gets lost and the process special is my only nice use of the ship lift is free, making it attractive to inland shipping companies. the goal is to move more goods and more raw materials by water. to lift can handle 4000000 tons of cargo annually, but currently only 1000000 tons go by water. despite the freebies the inside them abuse in that decision was made nearly a decade ago on the money. the aim is to promote shipping over road transportation . the by the industry still often choose this the road or reduce costs. now they've set their sights on a new port for container ships around a 100 kilometers away. the lift there will accommodate both containers and river

cruise ships. that's it for another edition if made. while we looked at an important company in crisis, more environmentally friendly flying recycling solar panels and even using an elevator to lift call go ships. see you next time the
