the, the, all about unbiased information, feel free mind and say, due to the clean energy. is it the new was what in the world of sustainability. hello and welcome. i'm sorry, we've got the body and you're all watching e going to clean energy is the future for sure. but what about its own future? it's life with challenges and opportunities. as the was demand for energy increases, we are still not able to produce enough energy. so he knew open source is yes, but why is it sold? and how can we change that?

somebody logo has been of, from china in june. will the energy making a head start in 1986. the state has used it's favorable wind factors to generate substantial energy. over the years. i'm allowed to host one of these y'all's largest wind farms and accounts for 25 percent of in the store to wind energy generation. sounds great, but what's really behind these positive headlines and are things as rosy as busy as a bundled sunshine instead, events domino do has plenty of both the state, his home is this potential to become a leader in renewable energy in india. a key initiative is the chief minister sold up our green scheme, which includes low income homes with solar panels aiming to make them energy independence. however, in summer not followed has been

a condenses issue for tickets. uninstalled a lady i said, have been facing the brand to frequent our goods since the 19 ninety's. these outages have been driven by coal shortages, delays and adding capacity. group management districts in the fall cards alike, festivals, unpredictable. but everyone or just the should do let on, will not go and not have to sometimes be have no electricity for 5 or 15. did a long fall, but got student greens, city, and at night we don't have the bible for many hours. so in recent years, the government has been focusing on electrifying villages, which valuable energy to ensure a consistent energy access. what is this actually making local communities self sufficient? i decided to dig deeper and find out what's behind this on the promise. i'm so a driving to about 520 kilometers from 1080 owed into the this router lady, i visited seats international asleep for being a self reliant monte village. but due to neglect renewable energy systems has

crumbling down a decade later, it's computed economically on viable. i'm not even a single house here. is energy independent. i was did some of them who for 10 years said as the president of the punch i it, that is the village council. and for the next 10 years, he assisted his wife would have gone through this move to become energy independent with renewable energy. was his brain to see him following the village through integration street lights and drinking water plants which increase the village electricity bill as amounting to doubled up on sides funds. so he began looking into alternate to means of energy. 2001 live in 2001 we introduce solar powered street lights, the same thing and junction by 5 percent. most of you guys have it by almost got safire covered 50 percent of our power bill for a few years. and those things that won't be brought to a high capacity sources like wind turbines,

then i have the government but agreed homes. couple you think that would solve the problem is making us more energy independent operating from me through this team. so last time is will predict the rooftops. the energy generated was been stored in by trees, which followed the household. davy was 56 years old phone me the calls to be she moved into her speech, went home proudly powered by so lot energy does on the floor that we had solar power for about one and a half years, but then it stopped working. but we tried getting the back to the beard and even had to come and me come and check it. i think nothing worked. i visited the cutting quintile leader to understand the status now. so good people able to rely on this solar poverty for all the needs. really, on this, all of the over the years the government has given people feet of use, refrigerators and washing machine has started. so the energy demand has risen, and i want to be able to go to the bottom. those don't have the capacity to buy with the. and so instead people rely on conventional power from the read the you'd

be very distorted system when we contacted the papers since designated by the state to investigate any complaints regarding the solar panels and battery storage. people complain that we've been to we are started backing started, system stopped working. now when we spoke to technicians in oceans, the fact that the reasons for this failure, one, the government did not have a proper maintenance plan in place to. the local community was not educated about upkeep or capacity. and 3 wants to photo up. so down there are no follow up checks done to assess energy demand and usage. as people began using more appliances, the existing solar panels were in sufficient, the people said they couldn't afford upgrading this or that system or battery storage. consistence i work with head small businesses that i found most could use more than navigation systems . local shops could stay open longer and it would support education. the villages

said they expected that badge of energy independence to improve their economic status, but not having reliable access to power as actually did. they used to have left me and allow me just one minute here, ideally, pers funded about what to do. it has to be no economic development in this area for us, maybe the point of that. so i'm going to explain to me is a question. can be self sufficient by producing enough energy for them that will be no need to rely on the plate and only then when they use the defendants, encore, we follow blocks, no seminar, those and those, the transition is also highly politicized. power shortages and the debt to didn't electricity department, a b p link to political agendas. old means your body's problem is 100 feet and it's of electricity as a long standing boot bank tactic. even though it takes a severe financial tool on the electricity department party and they'll do transition research says that there are a lot of people who don't need this subsidy,

and this needs to be the evaluated. i wouldn't say it's for you like this, a good substitute as electricity, because the benefit of that is being given is a, this is absorbed by the discount through financial losses on it is being cut off subsidized in any of the high piping consumers. and so, but i think it should also be more thought good in terms of who requested guntee died engineer with the department added that the state needs to focus on reducing energy to months in order to make this transition truly sustainable along the months. and they nearly 3.5 megawatt. it is a lot of fun, nearly 10 religious parts to use for the jewelry motor to work up to 11 o'clock in the day because that having your money, they have that april then and you know, you do, then you cannot save in. redmond, i visited the office of the state electricity department, but couldn't meet the senior officials. i made several calls, but didn't get an answer. this, these public exemption is expected to grow by 50 percent by 2030. the state plans to meet 50 percent of the store,

the energy demand with valuable energy. sure. coming out of the space, what, what does the state needs to make this more sustainable? one integrates so a lot and then the energy into the grid to ensure as the ability to re evaluate electricity subsidies to make the move down to 3 includes rooftop solar panels, micro goods and community solar projects in google areas, to reduce dependence on expensive centralized students solutions like back trees, full, actively involved local communities, to foster sense of ownership and create job opportunities. some of the other ones that i knew will energy story is a global cost of the people highlighting the need for better planning and maintenance. yep, what's inspiring is the 5th commitment to obtaining the idea of energy with a fresh outlook and the department designated to look into the future does look like i'm going sort of file what is often seen as

a scene. i'm sustainable alternative for odd energy, but what happens on solar panels age and stop working efficient? the international energy agency estimates that by 2016, the amount of photo wars a waste in the was with cross about 78000000 done. and what, what do we do with all the laptops in northern germany where us for the farm is trying to address this issue more and more. so the funds are being built and the getting bigger and bigger. but photo voltaic cells become less effective as the age to break. like here in northern germany, this solar farm is only 14 years old. the, the ssl to grow couldn't, and that broke out because they weren't installed properly. but one kid wouldn't. so the whole panel would have to be removed $1600.00. often the operators could have sent them abroad the recycling,

but they decided we are going to go in. and we also have the facility in gym and you're not far from here. well, it's about an hour and house drive away, closet and half way around the world. and if you're going to vote funds the waste experts in the west engine, city of minster, a police more more. so the farm operators are using domestic recyclers to the panama. they contain a loss of red commodities and you can save a lot of energy if you use recycled material or fund company. it's also streamline . important is to keep those recycled materials here in germany. so they can be used again by industry. and if tunnels are exported, which is the same as another industry as we lose them in a follow on, the reclaimed materials were reciting. it says that cold becoming increasingly important a year ago writing set of a plan specifically to recycle photovoltaic panels. before that, it was nearly a sideline for the company, which just recovered dominion in class. now they aimed to extract additional

commodities with more complex recycling procedures. no longer restricted to class and elementary and we can also recover the other components in the modules from silicon and silver to come out and say, well we recover all these elements. and of course they all present different challenges, which we are very intentionally focused on with the way uh, within runs, april, got into this afternoon. yep. styling is not doing it alone. a few 100 kilometers eastern hollow scientist said the phone hoover institute, taking a closer look at the silicon powder for minute stuff. they've been working on how to recycle solar panels for a long time. now isn't 100 here still contains so fragmented by impulsively small amounts of metal contaminants in your minium couple for example, or element even from the frame. we want to recover them up to a certain point. this process is mechanical here too. but the research just kind of

when you get so far with that, when you get to the remaining components, you have to dissolve them chemically like in this lovely blue solution, see the silver can be precipitated from this solution. it's the silverware off the time that it works, but not yet. on an industrial scale, some startups and companies are now entering the solar panel, recycling business. there's a bit of a silver rush going on again and doesn't always get into that. we have about $18000000.00 metric tons of solar panels around the world. if we do the math. so that's about $30000.00 tons of silver that can be recovered. doesn't look like that's an opportunity, male or female. just given kinda the song scheme of things and getting nothing about the recycling of photovoltaics panels. it's worthwhile for a number of reasons. and it could become a central part of, of mining the extraction of commodities from junk island medium. it's already working smoothly for gloss. separation process is becoming more refined. so its

quality is also set to improve. writing is optimistic, his business will grow and replace the old panels with new ones really pays off. as we can see, back up the solar farm and northern germany, the i looked at the latest technology. so could we only need a face of the area to make the same amount of electricity. that would lead to a rise in scrapped panels in india to but with a lapse of folks of all techs only took off the from 2010 and 2020 feet in the as domestic passenger traffic page. or is that what high or over 150000000 passengers? and that means a lot of fuel consumption. so what do we do? we either saw flying or figure out ways to take the slice without using fuse. that's comes from money forces use that in done for the supplement back from biofuels to hydrogen to electric claim innovation is taking off quite

a bit. so let's explore the future of seen those guys. it won't surprise you to hear that how we fly to the needs to change. what is the most promising solution. so a vision, pollution, a biofuels more broadly sustainable aviation fuels. they're mostly made from non petroleum products like bio mass. so again, you can basically just swap the fossil fuels and heal for biofuels. i'll make a blend, but we need so much of it. the scaling up is very hot and the land that they use for other purposes, like drawing fluid or saving far. and then there's also hydrogen that shrink on this, especially hydrogen made sustainably, a lot of prototypes are being tested. electric plans are a 3rd option, and they can make a really compelling case here where we know we're on off hydro power or wind power. so then to consider we have is a sustainable renewal. so for us that's, that's the demo sustainable we can do from right now for the, for us,

this is you and all the us going to of a, the issue and one of the only people flying airplanes every day. when an a v, as in school in sweden with future pilots are being changed and flying electric cleans the paper, streaming bell as they fly here, it doesn't mean much electricity. it takes around an hour and a half to charge on what you've been. 545 minutes, but the result of 30 percent patchy is mostly use the pilot training or private key get fast tasks to get in. so hoss 1st as easy as i'm ready, correct. i've got the as far as this is a super light plane, but it can only go to people with no have luggage to go. any bigger

e plans are faced with a big problem. heavy batteries blowing, 747 to fly from say, london to istanbul. batteries will need to be this much heavier than a full time. this just going to work, since this wouldn't be 10 times heavier than the heaviest payload ever lifted. so governments and many of the industrial going back to the drawing board to redesign this is done, but in a vision explode, we looked at on the ground infrastructure to support the transition by working together with detroit. but we looked at 2 main modes of operation for doing that one, which was a battery charging system, so where the battery would remain fixed within the craft. you would plug it in as if you would like a normal device. you would just charge it. this would be the simplest way operationally speaking, but they also found the charging with waste precious time when the current edge traffic relies on a quick don't around fans, wood ok by limited space in the airport. and of course, the amount of power needed would take away significantly from the city's grid. the

2nd sort of mode of operation we looked at was a battery swapping system. and that would be where you would have pre charged x rays. and then when an across came in, you would remove the battery from the frame and then swap it with the one that already been pre charged. this would save space and time, but it would require a lot of specialization that was required and you don't have anywhere. and it wouldn't be a big risk. meddling with an airframe is always dangerous. and there's also the major risk of files from holding so many batteries in one place that shows what the 1st plans to be certified. but this is another huge shot and what a vision has compared to cause being certified for safety. so everything takes time for our in the testing, including for battery safety and the use long certification process. the urban, solomon bush with the idea of multi plans for shot and mid range flights. this is part of a while ago to got 90 percent of emissions from transport by 2050. all right. thank

you. all those crazy sit on the equity. okay. the company's been made that the district is now working on a faulty dublin. and the already big ones, a plane called olive secretary, 9 passenger, the 2 crew members seem to be close to commercialization, promising to fly around 400 kilometers. that's good, gary, head of the apples program of the us department of energy is national renewable energy lab. when you look at, if you think about their existing cargo routes that use small aircraft, their existing communities, that they're only connection is a, as a 9 senior crap unless they take a ferry for or 6 hours type of situation. and those are real existing route that have to be either subsidized or paid for by by communities. this is the main application so far, and it is significant at ambulances at axis and small cargo planes also need only small across the child has ordered 12 plants for low emissions post to deliveries,

which can help local noise and equity to a study by the international central and clean aviation estimates, the electric aircraft called govern 9 percent of the coming to markets. that's flights with more than 19 passengers and distances shorter than 500 kilometers. but this only accounts for 0.002 percent of globalization. by 2050, the estimated could be up to 0.2 percent, which is still smaller. what am i talking about? carbon emissions. but this is purely electric. we're talking about equals a house versions of hybrid. so you could have a series hybrid which is where essentially fuel is used to power an electric my to which then powers the aircraft the using fuel to charge a battery. essentially, the idea estimates of hybrids would be the next leap, navigation to the 20 thirty's, and this will contribute to a 40 percent reduction in emissions by 2050 long flights and most likely use

biofuels with some parts of the clean, electrified, and some use of hydrogen that proficient is a small step, but it gives us hope for the potential of the diversity of technologies that are going to need the a home sweet home. well, not so much for the planets around the world. we have countless or buildings that are we less energy efficient than the new ones. however, constructing the new building requires so much energy that it takes a long, long time to offset the best. oh, well, the new way to to order building can come very close to matching the energy efficiency of a new one. but transforming and we're building into a sustainable home that takes someone's special a new design in the making. it's for an older house to make it a bit more sustain a, but generally based architect, unable model and drawn,

transforms existing on sustainable buildings into sustainable bonds. a green consultation. the reason why we advocate green john summations is because you can do it in the building and you can actually more define the demolition of the buildings. again, there's a lot of pollution, right. and what do you do with this demolition based and it takes much longer for the oil. no se demolition can you do this will probably take me to us to do was is a john submission for the any. it could be as less as 6 months degree and consummation process is different for each building and depends on what's needed this residential home and to night was transformed into a green building by an open mind and her team for this house. all the lights and fence locked and loaded into energy efficient models. boarwood with solar technology, windows sizes, but increased to let an adequate natural light. and the introduction of cross

ventilation means the occupants now don't have to use their ac quite so often. all this helps to save energy, the water. what we do is, uh we again do please, all of the plumbing fixtures, the little fuel fixtures, right? so it's a, do a flash water, placid, or adapt that have a new fluid it. so that reduces that initial water consumption and water will waste water that com. so we make sure that is treated, collected, treated energy used inside the site. it's such a green consummation, like this one gets water consumption by at least half and reduces energy use by around 30 percent. the idea would be to apply this green dress summation process more lightly. but do you know, mega city like 10 i that's not without its challenges most notably,

the cost costing uh, with a green transmission really depends on what we do. so yeah, i would say between, you know, $15.00 to $30.00 less or so i can get most of the annual. this is the interesting thing done within that, that's between 17 and 33000. utah is an affordable for many, but senior green building consultant, critical to christian and sees these green plants solutions could still bring about 3 a change. this is done phones and translates ingles is that this tangible people can see that they can see the and noisy deduction in their bows. they can see the motto, savings in their house. they can see that the friends that are mixed to their environment it's, it's a huge thing to leave. a newly built sustainable public building, designed by unemployment, could help save the weight for new standards,

increasing q one and award from the indian green building concept for being the nation's most sustainable government building. it's an integrated come on center for the city of to night. and on simply as the green building, it is an extension of the ship on building, which is a public heritage facility, posting the offices of the local government for the city of to night. the come on center and a greenville cleared that connected with the group on building what designed by under bama and her team chenise city government wants to upgrade all government buildings to meet enlightenment of standards as soon as possible. as one of the chief engineers explains. being the environmentally sustainable and also what do i bring to brand as the 0? well, i've been footprint. that is the main idea. and we are also trying to a,

to the existing building. also the disability and all the existing buildings to be converted to building standards, the to look good the to be like 10. it is so many building. i mean the buildings. i believe it and i will say 99 percent on not just the beans on summation, not only to this one slide, but if you're able to influence many such buildings is very, very excessive. as we've seen today, the future of clean energy, horse, immense promise, a new innovations can really help us stack of the challenges if we face. thank you for joining us. i will see you next week. let us know what, what do you like to see more of on the show? you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media hundreds until then to get good buys soft gosh,
