Introducing the make to school to the point you to the city how a german city was soo stupid to use jewel pummel energy to heat up their homes and offices and how the environment can be conscious in the philippines are pushing to switch to solar power 1st lets talk about the city you forgot that for me it comes close to my home city of mumbai its crowded and its intimate but just like mumbai the problems of traffic and for you should onto a factory. Dont have a massive 319 cars full kilometer one local company is working towards slowly changing this by introducing small to electric school to us that we never need on diesel. The bright yellow taxis and don van crimes are dead you are in calcutta no no university as this is. You have joy. But the city also faces major difficulties like lack of public transport and traffic pollution. Electric scooters could help it used to but enough air pollution especially if. We did some research and found out that only 15 percent of india actually has a drivers license so there was a majority of indians didnt have a license and that was the market that we wanted to tap we did a little bit more research and found out that electric scooters where the speed is capped at 25 kilometers an hour doesnt require a license to write and that was the aha moment and thats when we decided that we want to start this company. Did you not founded his rental Scooter Service in kolkata over 2 years ago with 60 scooters no he runs a feat of 85. The rental Service Works while. Clients can pick up and drop off the scooters accept different points across called good on average a scooter is used by 3 to 4 right as a day. All of us who does have trouble believe came on batteries so a time battery is green or about to be drained customers can go to any of the points and swap out the battery fee if a customer has any problem middle of the road we have roadside assistance and even out there that can be swapped if any problem is about to be found. Is perhaps one of the. Clients have worked except 2 different garners of the city. Taking a cab to the business hub of and back used to cost between pretty 1400. 00 rupees to 5 yards when she rents an electric a scooter for 45. 00 rupees or less than 0. 60 per hour she can hop cost time with a fully charged battery she can go up to 60 kilometers. This kuta im not only spending less money i also end up saving time. I did have was arc im going to have several things to do in a day i agreed to buy for the full day or on an hourly basis i invariably end up spending less than if i had to take a bus a cab on the tram or was is it that come with their way of that see me. Corporate customers like this food delivered get even better it a strategy which it is hoped will also raise the visibility of east coasters it is primarily aimed at younger stock of founders and college students. A little think about that it will feel again enough to talk about the course i dont really know how to go about it when i see my friends who are using their own bikes to do this job to spend a lot on maintenance so thats the biggest benefit to me thats going to slice me like that its them go out he would think that according to Greenpeace India is a still home to 15 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world with delhi ranking as the worlds most polluted capital. But why efforts are being made in delhi and its never being areas the city of scrabbling with the rapidly rising pollution that. The citys known as the diesel capital of india over 60 percent of vehicles in calcutta august and even driven but it is hard for businesses to find investors for emission free rental systems since this is an extremely new market bags are on willing to finance it as the founders of the body go expedience however devoted consider changing that approach. We really want to make sure. None of those but i knew the air and you know as many people ask as would we ever going to internal combustion. And we tell them no we might move to maybe higher speeds who does but live in never that is that is that you cause of our bad move in never going to icy icy. Compared to a 4 stroke engine and electric scooter has a much lower Carbon Footprint depending on how the electricity was generated but immobility is also a technical challenge as there is still a lot of manufacturers of scooters and the batteries they need. To start ups like. The necessary impulses to get those weve. Now been dubbed would be run on the lithium ion battery the same kind the fall was your wife for instance but how the electric vehicles work exactly once about question and. The world has been on the move since the canoe was invented in 8000 b. C. To fast forward to the 21st century and mobility has changed rapidly in addition to the convenience of getting from point a to b. Its becoming just as important to measure the cost of that commute on the environment having a clean alternative to traditional polluting vehicles is becoming a reality for people who drive electric ones which could replace gasoline or diesel. So our electric vehicles a feasible alternative to. The automotive sector is a leading source of polluting emissions and is responsible for 30 to 50 percent of all particulate emissions. T. V. s are silent smooth and have no gears. They require less maintenance. They can be charged using a dedicated Home Charging unit or a public charging station. Or. Tricity as a fuel is a more sustainable alternative to gasoline or diesel. And yet according to some estimates electric vehicles make up only 0. 2 percent of the 1300000000 vehicles on the road the reasons. For one the lack of rapid charging infrastructure puts people off buying these vehicles it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours depending on the size of the battery type of car and the charging port used. Also long journeys could be a problem as e. D. S. Have been unable to match gasoline run cars in terms of range and ability to accelerate. Another big reason is the upfront price tag attached to purchasing these vehicles but all this could soon change. In china for instance the these are cheap because of the governments industrial policies in norway battery electric and plug in hybrid vehicles together hold up 50 percent market share and in israel one in 10 people in tel aviv hop onto electric scooters but how green are really the electricity used to charge these vehicles does not always come from a Clean Energy Source and their production takes twice the amount of energy compared to a gasoline. Yet researchers have found that use electricity from renewable sources could produce 6 times less Carbon Emissions over their lifetimes. Another huge source of Renewable Energy is something scientists will dependence on fossil fuel india is looking to harness. By 20 the a community in germany may have a. If. Energy for their daily heating lets take. This is. Planet earth where we live this is the water and heres the crust inside its hot magma which warms up the world. Here in pula no one is considered too young to learn about the potential of Geothermal Energy these children are visiting a municipal owned Company Called the e. P. A. Which directly harness is. In many ways typical of small town southern germany but its made a name for itself on a National Level for being a trailblazer in the area of Geothermal Energy. I. E. Peace biggest client is the multinational linda which does some of its business in poorer. For a firm with such a large operation and having a reliable Heating Network is a top priority. Management points to the benefits of Large Companies switching to this type of system. Linda linda has to focus on Environmental Protection and show an awareness of its Carbon Footprint with the believe Geothermal Energy can reduce that Carbon Footprint to a fraction of what it used to be for. The children get to see how the Geothermal Energy is harnessed oh. This is the small this is the drilling point number 2 number one is over there the water that comes out of them both has a temperature of over 100 degrees the pipes are warm to the touch. The water is extracted from layers of rock 3 kilometers underground a device called a heat exchanger is used to transfer the energy into the network. Once the water has cooled down its pumped back to the geological layer it came from this ensures that the water levels within the layers of rock remain constant. The existence of geothermal activity in the region has long been well known but the push to make cooler a center for harnessing it was led by a small number of people determined to see the project through. Drilling began in 2004 by the following year the facility was supplying a number of public offices with heat. The project has spurred interest from abroad last year a delegation came to visit from india where cheap fossil fuels are used for power needs. While investing in Geothermal Energy is expensive proponents say the rise of environmental movements like fridays for a future might encourage governments to give it serious consideration the initial should not enter through i think pupils and need to go on strike for a few days and do much more to ensure that adults stop using coal and polluting the air. With the face. That works Geothermal Energy will experience big growth around the world watched from. Who wants to be in a position to supply every home in the time with Geothermal Heating by 2024 a goal that seems possible. Around half of the homes here are already being supplied with the existing system. The cost is comparable to that of oil and gas leasing and maintenance costs are low. So. Ive been using Geothermal Energy for 3 years now hopefully so far ive had no problems with heating. We have no emissions anymore thats great well fantastic that c o 2 emissions have gone down so much and pull off. This preschool is among the institutions being supplied with the Clean Energy Source or that the introduction of the system would have produced an estimated 114000 more tons of c o 2. Like to expand further we want to start more drilling. Geothermal activity here is very promising so wed like to keep drilling and supply the city of munich too. When it comes to a vision for a cleaner future there seems to be no shortage of any kind of energy in pool. Now staying with joe many a believe me stop has taken upon itself to completely do of the with style for hexafluoride from the s. F. 6 as its also called is the strongest Greenhouse Gas and contributes 23000 times more than Carbon Dioxide to Global Warming new bench it up founded by monday not diminish and his colleagues is changing how high they did switch gears which is where as if 6 is used up as a. Meet manjoo not ramesh an electrical engineer originally from india who now lives and works in germany is for lynn based company new ventura as wanting to make electrical grids far more environmentally friendly month to knotts focus is on switchgear essential components that protect an Electrical Network from overload the tech comes into play especially when construction work or repairs are being carried out the vast majority of switch gear uses a gas called sulfur hexafluoride or s f 6 as an insulator and that poses a major environmental problem s f 6 is the most potent Greenhouse Gas in the world. If you take one to know 4 as of 6623500 ton so for. What it means is. Its not only that its 25000 fire and more effective in creating Global Warming but its also a very long living and the reason is there is no natural saying. If you take c or go there is plants which are absorbing it and that is a cycle which is happening and this cycle doesnt exist for us of 6 sulfur hexafluoride is a heavy inert and in combustible gas making it an effective and compact insulator. The issue according to munch unit is that over a switch gears lifetime some 20 percent of the gas it contains escapes a release of some 8000. 00 tons of s. F. 6 into the atmosphere each year. Although its hugely damaging to the environment accepts 6 barely features and public Discussion Companies that rely on it have a vested interest in keeping it that way. Manjoo not want to change his company has developed technology that enables which gear to use regular air and sea. Out of s f 6 as an insulator he says its easier and cheaper to maintain than conventional switch gear and that the technology could prove to be a game changer in terms of Environmental Protection every year the world consumes millions of media market which guess which consists of as of 6 and if you are able to replace all of this not only medium or dish but also in higher dish we would be able to get rid of 8000. 00 done so for as of 6 which is getting released into atmosphere so just to compare it 1000 tonnes of us at 6 is equal and or more than 100000000. 00 cars a newly and market. European lawmakers are aware of the harmful effects of 6 can have theyve already prohibited its use in the production of tires and soundproof windows and now there are calls to ban the gas and switch gear to the block is due to publish a report on possible alternatives in the 1st half of 2020. Shallow to who see as a consultant who has coauthored a study of sulfur hexafluoride and switchgear she says a major barrier to moving away from the gas is cost. Switchgear is designed to last for more than 40 years. So for a great operator that has just installed say 3 or 4 new units it would be unbelievably expensive to say ok were going to remove the switch gear that was supposed to last for 4 decades from now and replace them with a set of 6 free switchgear that few of the fix higher side its only fair that the parties involved to be granted a transition period of time get i thought out in. June and wants to lead the way his idea has already attracted several 1000000 euros from investors and the Technology Behind it has won awards. At a test center outside the western german city of 2 spork one Power Company as assessing whether the technology is sufficiently developed to meet its needs. According to manjoo not things are heading in the right direction. For me its very important to make this shift happen this is something i started 10 years before and they continue head and its my lifetime goal to make this happen. In life you dont get so many bangs a chance to make such a big difference and really have one really want to get it done. The technology could end up on the market later this year putting money to not ramesh and his Team One Step closer to their goal of eliminating s f 6 from the electricity grid and making Power Distribution more environmentally friendly. Like an adventure the people around the world are working towards creating a cleaner environment for the generations that follow for example the tal of up the world out of the philippines its residents are rallying hard to stop the construction of school based power plants and make the switch theres a new bolette. People in the town of head to church on sunday mornings its just 6 oclock. Thank you not in their catholic faith and in their opposition to a controversial construction project nearby. Its been part of our. Fight because its harmful to people to the environment. We just want to. Protect our people and this is in keeping with. The church. To care for the the earth and care for those whore. In the margins of society. After mass the congregation head to the site of a planned coal fired power plant to check if construction has already begun. They keep a detailed record of developments but. They bother no one says contractors have already started to clear the area of trees. Someday this was going on for years the plan will close on the local Drinking Water i dont envy blow by the moment they best. Deal with and thats a macro. Approach so not just the micro that we are protecting our people theyre joining the much larger picture of. What action up are on hold. The philippines has rapid population growth 12000000 people live in metro manila alone and the power grid is in urgent need of modernization electricity is expensive and the funds generate a lot of pollution joe on a. O. L. Is head of Sustainable Energy funds for the bank and says there are Major Business opportunities in the sector there your business we need to move so you dont just look green to be happy to feel good about that you do good for the environment make money out of it. 2 thirds of the Philippines Energy consumption is actually coming from fossil fuel so in our own little way as a bank here in the county what we hope to do is. Help shift that energy mix. Or energy. This is one of the projects a bank has financed to the tune of 1000000 euros just a year ago it was a stinking open rubbish dump the biggest landfill site in manila now the garbage has been covered with earth and is used to generate electricity. Silver not. As an engineer and Renewable Energy consultant. This will. Connect to done to the ground and its collecting methane gas and other gases thats being produced by decomposing garbage inside. The gas goes to a power plant where drives turbines navarro checks regularly how much electricity the cost generates he says the garbage should yield just 30 more years. That landfill project may be good for the environment but its not so welcome for People Living in the slum nearby who have lost their source of income. They used to pick through the garbage with things they could sell for recycling plastic and alimony and. Now children look for those items while theyre still on garbage trucks. To try to stop for a few minutes to let the kids climb aboard and rummage around. To find it. And brian is 13 and has already been collecting garbage for 3 years. He lives with his mother and 5 brothers and sisters. He tells us he knows how to read and write and is proud of. Me. Unless i work every day. From 7 in the morning until 6 in the evening. I earn about 200 pesos a day. So on that basis. Thats equivalent to about 3 year rose when he grows up he wants to work on a garbage truck. To manon father nolan his congregation are determined to do their part for the environment. We installed both sets up solar panels while in the act. Very. Theyre for or the church our main goal is to provide tips and if they should be for the church under the same time this is the way of. Showing that the whole word of that weekend i make use of where you are and they just orthe. By next year the entire roof of the church complex is said to be covered in fashionable take connel in addition to their efforts to block fossil fuels on increase environmental awareness the congregation are making a positive contribution of their own by switching to solar.
