the us presidential elections 2024. watch the whole coverage on the take a look around havana and you can still see signs of the us. auto industry is glorious past, but some of the old calls won't get you very far off. and the fact teresa once built them now line and ribbons. will this also be the face of germany's largest car manufacturer, a, b, w. how's it failed to recognize the signs of the times? are also amazed today. sustainable kerosene will flying soon be green of solar panels. how difficult holiday to recycle accept. so elevate to how to get ships to great heights. the

. this is how pictures were taken 50 years ago. then photography went digital and former 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. and 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 it's no longer up to date having been replaced by an electric motor.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. tape i've seen makers combined,

they have an overwhelming dominance off the global batch fee. the markets, especially, you know, for the automotive industry scale is of massive importance in order to, to get the lowest possible prices. and this is a critical aspect for successful copatrick vehicles in the lower the price to market. this electric car from v w 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. the changes in the automotive industry takes longer than in the mobile phone 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 the w was found at a software subsidiary carry out his burn through a lot of money so far, but his yet to deliver even the automotive industry supported institute sees it that way. is just on that to do so it's clear that folks talking to the 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 that stuff in front of b, w. s. on partners for the software?

use electric car maker with the in for the us market, and shout pung for the chinese market. however, observers the risks and the strategy at the moment from the top 10 global, pardon makers, more than half as already it looks like acquired vehicle electronic platforms from chinese williams. but the problem is that as you go down that path, let's say i that 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 already in a serious crisis. the board wants to save 5000000000 yours. at least 3 plans will close workers of protesting, asking why shareholders received such a large dividends this summer. now the demand and extension of job guarantees tend to 7 percent wage increase. vfw faces 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 is spent on 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 design tanker. it's just him, i'm using ship, i leaving 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 type 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. so 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 or electric engines are currently only possible for smaller planes, but not for larger rac croft. on the infrastructure of the hydrogen propulsion, isn't that yet? twice a transitional solution is needed like gradually sustainable fuel to kerosene. we take a look at how spain is starting to slide 3, not a modern air bus,

a 350 from spanish airlines. the barrier 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 dogs for the to do some plan selling and will rate of 70 percent by 25th. we got it. so seeing if you got kids, that means that starting next you will be required to use some cities have a stuff. but how is it so you made? we start our journey and carts a hiena on the mediterranean coast, where energy company rep. so it has a large refinery and recently at its center and as a production plant. now,

this plan to naples, us to provide our gas station 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 an idea 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 order, sunday, in nevada, on the on, on, you know, most 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 nobody i'm with this isn't what, 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 no guessing. was there somebody that sounds that them in the retreat it was, he had an asset to separate the only phase, right out of a lot of the pop we want to extract, because then my from the aqueous phase effect site that i say, of course 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. bradman days of 1000000000 does competition,

but there is nothing more than what we've prepared for it by securing access to these materials. yes, exactly, so i thought it was my video is all the fact is also exploring fat extraction from sewage, sludge diversifying sources is key, but rep so knows these sources won't be sufficient in the medium term. as for the next step to yes, the 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 set read souls research center, a racing to find additional sources. robots analyze various samples and formulations around the clock, including green, waste. loving it'd be in a split people in the benefit of this kind of raw material is that it's far more

abundant. st. cooking oil or other oil. the way to steve was before the people don't, don't face april, they will be cited safety for them. i think if we can use this solid donald, it allows for much higher biofuel production a few moments, a almost be lifting a rib so currently produces a no. s a have to meet springs demand for 100 percent bio diesel and 2 percent bio kerosene. but europe faces a bottleneck, especially with the goal of using 6 percent biofuels in aviation by 2030 in the states. i'm from we need to start now. and the plants are either 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 damage subsidizing to pick them up in the shop. currently, the lack of production capacity in europe is one issue for spain's air traffic. however, the outlook could be better in the medium term as well. fine. yeah. but anybody in

is in a privileged position compared to other e u countries of the one we have lower renewable electricity production costs. and so i don't know, i really may not giving us the potential to lead in renewable energy development within the new owners. been throwing the barriers, these s a f as an opportunity for rule development as well with us in it as we get this could bring prosperity and improve regional kind of existence by establishing industries in areas currently knocking well on us such as springs. the populate to the region 11, and we know those are precisely web role. 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 the fast, the low cost almost like you must have a handle, but we're working to low. a soft price is quickly by ramping up production,

a long dispos even 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 topic, it's the environmental list to cool 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 solar and this was a zone for these energy is not what started delivering clean energy in the 19

fifties and took off in the late 2000 is out ready for the dumpster us because the technology is trash, but because solar panels are built the last 22. so soon we could be looking at $27000000.00 tons of out of date solar waste and only a tiny fraction gets recycled. the route, 80 percent of old panels of landfills, big from one 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, found it in 2017 day one of the pioneers and so that recycling funds hello joins rosie. 4 years ago, basically, a solar panel is made of a few main ingredients that need to be separated. during the restocking 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. so no aluminum frame, right? so even when, you know, really this is 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 to the panel of get put into this big grey fun. and because rosie is feeling the pets and think process, everything today is pretty much top secret. the mazda mind behind this process is the she seen your co and co phone to off rosie. however,

you can really feel that he can really, really hot. that's really hard so we don't hold on the panels bake for 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 the 2nd one makes the difference. once we uh, we manage to do is to improve the general regulation of the oven. depending on the, on the, on the so smart that your actually the most used to contribute to the process. it's 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 heat up the oven, so we can save energy, please. the combination of the copying between the machine gun and the field with the combination of the 2 makes it makes it more efficient. rosie sense has what is gases and the exhaust fumes through a 5 stage filtering system. they say only c o 2 and water vapor are released in the end. this is what solar panels look like. after being baked in the oven. this batch 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 i like series pressing. yeah. and you can just yeah. and then you got the button. 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 glass,

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. first, we need to extract the copper and glass after this thousands of pieces of fault of, of take selves. and now in these containers that go through a set of $5.00 to $8.00 chemical went both that are connected to each other. here the silicon episode about us separated from one another. it is these tiny, tiny silver lines that we're talking about here. 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 a 99 percent of the glass aluminum and copper 90 percent of the silicon and 95

percent of the suv. which means that that gets about 10 us solas walk ups to about out of each solar panels. the up to start class aluminum copper and silicon is plus $10.00. but of course, the recovered materials cost full, then bunch of materials. do you have the feeling that companies are willing to pay these premiums, that you have full recycled material? yeah, unfortunately, the don't say big premium. but today, all the big companies, all the induced companies in europe has very strong targets on c o. 2 reduction and using recycling that they owe these a very good way for then to reduce as to its way. nissan from there will materials . luckily for rosie and fonts, the is a so called gates fee that every solar pull to sell must pay to recycling companies to make sure solar panels of rides fully taken care of. at the 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 se. oh, told me the put a very big scale recycling sites will 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 was 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

engineering. the recycling process to perfection is to redesign 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 proof. what's the most amazing i like 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 all go 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 way. what we've done here is a marble lived there in engineering. similar structures exist all over the world like this one in china. the old ones did some very reliable. it's hardly ever down all by talking about the cost must be gigantic, isn't even worth it. the concept is as simple as it is brilliant and cost effective ships and draw a basin and to be open side is 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 fleet got and then getting you out. and this is due to the ingeniously simple counter weight system which balances the $10000.00 ton basically with counter wait with allowing minimal force to move or stop the pace and the room of equal to the,

the thing by the political starts instructing the lift came at a cost of 520000000 euro. why invest in something so expensive? you have to know what finish cut. yeah. and these us that we need to overcome 36 meters here. we'll just have 400 years ago. and that's the old speedo canal and managed basically the 17 logs. but it took a long time for us because 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 clause the whole thing is basically quadruple reinforce nexus, meaning in terms of stability. in the components entered your ability. yeah,

it was very much due to 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 19271934. and it still works and today is hard to interest, 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, lyft 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 relate back to the sensors and motors. occasionally, a signal gets lost in the process,

special to somebody on the not 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 lift can handle 4000000 tons of cargo annually, but currently only 1000000 tons go by water. despite the freebies, doesn't entitle abuse in that decision was made nearly a decade ago on the money. the aim is to promote shipping over road transportation . the industry still often chooses the road or reduce costs. now they've set their sights on a new port for container ships around a 100 kilometers away the lived 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 flight recycling solar panels and even using an elevator to lift call go ships. see you next time the
