so i will sing my song. maybe my voice will be heard. seeking justice for the victims of genocide starts november 21st. on the double, you take a look around havana and you can still see signs of the u. s. auto industries glorious past. but some of the old causes wouldn't get very far off, and the fact theresa once built them now law and ribbons. will this also be the fate of germany's largest car manufacturer of b w. how's it failed to recognize the signs of the times? are also amazed today sustainable kerosene will flying soon be green up solar panels. how difficult all they 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 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 giants, 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 it's no longer up to date having been replaced by an electric motor.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. shape i say makers combined. they have an
3:32 am
overwhelming dominance of the global batch fee and markets, especially, you know, 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 copatrick vehicles in the 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 as a 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.
3:33 am
this is something that can be compared to the transition from the mobile phone to the smartphone. the changes in delton, 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 carry out his birth through a lot of money so far. but his yet to deliver even the automotive industry supported institute sees it that way. is just an a to lose. 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 design vehicle is definitely recognized as the future is the stuff you in for that b w. s. on partners for it,
3:34 am
software use electric, car 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 or 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 risks for the future. and v w is all ready in a serious crisis, and the board wants to say 5000000000 yours. at least 3 plans will close. workers are 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 faces severe internal conflicts and at the same
3:35 am
time, complex reforms into the dentist, the theme overall this corporation has grown both organically and in organically understood bucks and is spend money when you have 9 brands. plus of course, the respective 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 ship, amazing tongue. 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,
3:36 am
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 or electric engines are currently only possible for smaller planes, but not for law direct croft. and the infrastructure of the hydrogen propulsion isn't that? yes, i thought a transitional solution is needed like gradually as being sustainable fuel to kerosene. we take a look at how spain is starting to slide 3, not a modern air bus,
3:37 am
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 stops with a t p. some plans and we'll read of 70 percent by 2015. it's still seeing the feedback that maintenance looks. dr. gotcha, will be required to install these have a self 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, a supplement benefit to medium. the last step in this plan to naples,
3:38 am
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 deviation market. so i'll send you the, the on that america, there's 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, 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. for this test, this green paste and similar waste from across spain is processed at in nearby
3:39 am
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 like i mean the retreat that 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 site. that i say, of course, they're using fence 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. fragment this uh,
3:40 am
billiard does competition the most the most on what we've prepared for it by securing access to these materials. yes, exactly. 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 sources won't be sufficient in the medium term. as for their next step. 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 sounds of 10250 scientist segment souls research center are racing to find additional sources. robots analyze 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,
3:41 am
same cooking oil or other oil. the weight as the was before the people don't don't face info, it'll be decides for people who am i think if we can use this solid donald, it allows for much higher biofuel production. a few moments, a almost be lifting a 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 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 implants are either operational court 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 somebody's tire, can see the mountains. 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
3:42 am
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 mean not giving us the potential to lead in renewable energy development within the new owners. then throw in a barrier, sees as a, as an opportunity for rule development as well with us in it as we get this could bring prosperity and improve regional coexistence by establishing industries in areas currently knocking well on us, such as spans the populated region 11 and we know those are precisely why roll materials and renewable energy are available here in 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 end up at a low cost almost like you must have a handle, but we're working to lowest soft prices quickly by ramping up production
3:43 am
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 is therefore only less dirty, not truly clean for this to think it's the environmental list to cool latino recycling, valuable metals whose extraction is harmful to the environment to in particular effect test. 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 sola. and this was a zone for these energy is not what started delivering clean energy in the 19
3:44 am
fifties and took off in the late 2000 is now 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 tons of out of state solar waste and only a tiny fraction gets recycled. route, 82 percent of old panels of landfills. big from the 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 rosie found it in 2017 day one of the pioneers and so the recycling phones hello, joins rosie. 4 years ago, basically, a solar panel is made of a few main ingredients that need to be separated during the recycling process.
3:45 am
you've got tempered glass in the front, photovoltaic sales 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 now remove this, you still can't access the cells, right? exactly. you have different types of floating. 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 panels. get put into these 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 the she seen your c t o and co phone to off rosie. so if
3:46 am
you 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? does it depends on the temperature how the panels of the 2nd one makes the difference. what's we uh, we managed to do these to improve the genetic regulation of the oven, depending on the, on the, on the sole spot that your are. so the, the most used to contribute to the process is not, i know, but we paid old. it's a combination of good to, it's covered. meaning we use the energy from the mold your to piece of the old on.
3:47 am
so we can save energy. so it's a combination of the competing between the machines, a quick month deals on the field. so 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 of a pile release and the end, this is what solar panels look like asked to be baked in. the open 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 series the same. yeah. and you can just yeah, and then you've got the complement back. now this mess goes into the next range on the sheet switch, take on the salting jobs. when you look at a typical solar panel from the weight perspective,
3:48 am
it's about 76 percent plus 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 to 8 chemical. what 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 have 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
3:49 am
percent of the serve. which means that that gets about 10 us dollars worth of silva out of each solar panels. the other stuff, class aluminum copper and silicon is what? 10 bucks of cost recovered materials cost for then bunch of materials. do you have the feeling that companies are willing to pay these premiums that you have for recycled material? yeah, unfortunately, the don't say the 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 all use a very good way for and to reduce their c o 2 emissions from their rule materials. luckily, so rosie and fonts the as a so called gait, feet that every solar and pull to all cellar must pay to recycling companies to make sure solar panels of rides fully taken care of. at their end of life, rosie say they can process around $3000.00 tons of solar panels per year here. not
3:50 am
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 will have to organize it very well. the arthritis engineers technician is to or the cheese ability system and also how to integrate the arthritis. so human beings who is the automation to reduce the cost, to protect your maximum, the safety of the, of the sites. another way to make this whole thing easier and that wouldn't require
3:51 am
engineering. the recycling process to perfection is to redesign these solar panels and make them easier to recycle. adapt to 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 during the recycling process, like pressing a button and everything goes proof. what's the most amazing elevate to you that they've been in? was it the biggest foss this highest or with the best you 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 assembly sale in end up. you go 36 meters higher to continue the journey.
3:52 am
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. to help with it, it's very reliable. it's hardly ever down all by talking with a cost must be gigantic. is it even worth it? the concept is as simple as it is brilliant and cost effective ships enter a basin and the 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 police have got a good yard and this is due to the ingeniously simple counter wait system which made alex is the channel that was i'm trying to basically with counter wait with
3:53 am
allowing minimal force to move or stop the piece and the equal to the positional or instructing the lift came at a cost of $520000000.00 euros. why invest in something so expensive? except the north in this car? yeah. and these are still we need to overcome 36 meters here. we just have 400 years ago that the old speedo canal and managed physically to 17 logs. but it took a long time for us 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 closing. the whole thing is basically quadruple reinforce lexus, meaning in terms of stability in the components entered your ability. yeah,
3:54 am
it was very much to, 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 that german industry had to offer between 19271934 it's still working today. it's 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 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 relate back to the sensors and motors. occasionally, a signal gets lost and the process special is my only noise. use of the ship lift
3:55 am
is free, making it attractive to an inland shipping companies. the goal is to move more goods and more raw materials by water. they 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 monday. the aim is to promote shipping over road transportation. the industry still often chooses the road or reduce costs, the 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.
