Discussions take place at Different Levels of society to address exactly this high level meetings an International Climate conferences are held every year with representatives from most countries this week lets dive deeper them in the impact they have you know watching eco india and im somewhat of a coming to you from mumbai the Indian Government has signed the paris climate agreement and plans to change its energy mix 50 Percent Renewable Energy by 2022 is the and solar power plays a big role in achieving this. One is barely 100 kilometers away from indias Business Capital mumbai but until just a few years ago it had no concept of electricity. Its residents relied on far as their main source of light and energy. Thanks jane for one in the summer of 2016. So let us know where their loved ones are now there is light everywhere and this village. I have never imagined this. Village is the government. Comes and goes. Here where you have access to electricity even if you know. This is quite believing but it always does anybody and when the light on the 2nd is i mean its out of. Your day one of aussies able to address the daily energy needs of its 265 residents with an uninterrupted supply power generated through which ready solar. Microgrid. Wish to ensure visits a smooth operation through its daily maintenance and also occasionally troubleshooting. So rather let me know im going to early on and then the very not sure if this what i was saying in the past a lot of cities have made thats a long answer but once they left and none of them were at final fantasy that means that any that could have gotten a. Owing to its extremely small population when wasi does not fit into the governments calculations of what constitutes a really good. And instead it is awfully fond of could oculus together with a scout at gloucester for their hamlets in the district of maharashtra. This means that despite the Indian Governments ambitious 100 person Electrification Program electricity through the National Public grid has never properly reached such remote communities. To close this gap some united go founded. In 2008 in these kind of an it is a problem is the cost of taking the grid to these areas for a small load and this is a small number of households it becomes a bit of a time and then a large number of the time later to an electrified while official figures suggest india is inching closer to 100 percent household electrification the challenge to bring clean and affordability extremely remote house remains largely unaddressed the social enterprise provides access to electricity through Renewable Energy markets. No need they want to actually install this but i think having seen it and i willing to put that initial money. You know create a bank on little equivocation going to get an annuity from the local punter one and then they come in the solar power as a story in the battery bank while overhead Cross Mission lines make sure that electricity is brought to every household and. The total cost of this installation was 3000000. 00 rupees or 37000 years. Its that of the graham who just has successfully set up solar microgrid in 65 remote villages. These decentralized micro grids unknown and a dolly owned and operated by local communities with each household being judged according to search. Every. Spot of one was the stan member village and as you can mitty it in shows that the grid runs affectively and is responsible for and voicing the house rooms. Im leaving. In the last week of every month our committee holds an eating then discuss the bill and the status of our saving the sewer capital sometimes a customer is unable to really who would a one month end be allowed them to hear that within the next month bill but if its still on paid off to keep in mind we will demand the money and tell them if they dont hear them if they literally supply the house bill will be cut off but this does not happen and till today. I dont care a little. Apart from electrifying households the microgrid also didnt ever spot the flaw granting that. The solar power has helped and a lot of dating stress for the family and boss. Again i mean to do it by man i had. To 1st walk to we had to walk all the way to the red barn and during that bank no one was taking care of the kids but it took us a lot to get a little bit off and i didnt have time to even make food and you know. But again id gone it. Not public bum supplies water that were down to how much. Of that life that little alley. When there was no electricity that would go kind of a dam like a fight ahead of. Me but now we can socking only in my mind i got them before i needed and then he calmly for what i used to purchase with my life because of kerosene every month which was very expensive and he said well if wed had electricity or the life that would have been there for you to bushel this one. The microgrid has made a substantial change to life in benghazi as the new power and light bring in many for new opportunities for its residents young and though. It would be safe to see that on many many problems the source when it comes to Climate Change india could biggest economy of for example is great not as fast as the last decade but it is growing rapidly and this means the country needs a lot of fuel and energy. India is one of the. Energy consumers in the world and its Energy Demand is only likely to spiral the country has been drawing considerable attention towards how it is going to increase Energy Access while maintaining its commitment made of the past Climate Summit 2 words to do saying emissions from the perspective of primary energy mix of the country you will see that the energy scene of the country is predominantly dominated by coal and then the emerging star in the you know do you see him as up close the. Making major disruptions in the Energy Ecosystem of our country sure renewable at the moment so when you combine hydro power its big summer its course abortionists back to the field of somewhere around 7 percent. In keeping with its commitment india has set itself a target of increasing its Power Generation capacity to renewables up to 40 percent by 2030 investments of 300000000000 euros will be needed over the next decade. While there are concerns over the country being able to meet its star gets the government of india has declared assurances of being on track. Currently wind energy has the largest share of installed capacity within the Renewable Energy mix however the coming years will see some considerable strides in the Solar Energy Sector but a transition to a clean energy does not inevitably suggest a simultaneous phasing out of the countrys dependence on fossil fuels. Now its very difficult for in order governmental or even for the private were going to share very dependence on fossil fuels in dark regard what we have to do is we have to take over the graduated approach wherein we bring renewables. You know more. You know where you know your economic. Expert. But at the same time you are not. Today india is producing the worlds cheapest solar power since 2010 set of costs fell by 80 percent the most prestigious decline of any country but continue to meet the Rising Energy hunger of the population will decline investment. We can all agree that fossil fuel based energy is one of the biggest causes of Climate Change but is valuable energy really feasible alternative is one of the most common questions that comes up what if there isnt enough sun on a particular day of the really isnt Strong Enough a community in the south of germany didnt just ask these questions they tested it out hands with success. This is the night train from berlin to the far south of germany its going to be a 12 hour journey to fill create a village in the foothills of the outskirts famous for pioneering the transition to green energy. None of its energy comes from fossil fuels all of it comes from renewables. Its all there in nature we dont need to take any energy from fossil sources on the ground plenty is given to us every day we just have to make use of it. Produces 8 times as much electricity as its 2600 residents can use all that electricity isnt produced in one big plant paternity centralized fashion and its then made available to others. I have a grid. Delegations from the places around the world marked by flags who have come to inspect this prevalent ledge. But usually. Hes been married for 23 years and has been involved in the shift to renewables from the start. You know on and on and in 1909 we asked everybody here how things should be and 2021 wind energy was just one of the many different issues 92 percent said they were in favor which was a sensational result. People here are very proud of whats been developed in groups basically theyve done it themselves. Become thinking and thinking of. The religious have invested 50000000 euros over the past 2 decades 300 photovoltaics systems 9 Wind Turbines as well as several hydroelectric and combined heat and power plants. We want to show that it is possible to create a regional circular economy for Energy Production and energy use this. Of course it has to make economic sense so if it is a profit and we save money and were doing something positive for the environment thats doubly good. But i dont know if thats not really stop and go to. Another father the green revolution of all street is fendel and im seeing. Hes a farmer who started experimenting with Renewable Energy in the 1990 s. He soon won over his fellow villagers and set up a wind farm cooperative. To anyone who lives in the community where a windmill is located can invest the more people join the lower the amount each may invest its currently 5000 euros and no more any higher amount and we have too much money everybody keeps asking when are we going to build another wind turbine. I know has set up for bio gas plants on his farm they now heat the entire village. He designed some of the components himself the Energy Sources are all local animal waste and grass silence from 20 nearby farms. They replace 700000 liters of heating oil a year. Less as Generating Energy from biomass alone point be enough to complete the transition to renewables at the National Level sun wend and hydro power also needed. A mix of with the right mix it wont be hard to attain 100 Percent Renewables and many people dont believe that but its true with the amount of clean energy we produce in a very neat could also be generated in other communities districts and states. And we can waive the number one cause of grip on the. Energy generation is one key factor to others are Energy Storage and developing an intelligent grid so power can be moved to where its needed. Energy reservoirs are needed for days when the wind drops or the sun doesnt shine. All when demand is higher than usual. This on Company Envelope addresses both these issues it makes lithium ion phosphate batteries which in combination with solar panels enables households to become largely energy independent. It also manages an electricity sharing system so on and community. For the 4th or this year but its cloudy here but the sun is shining in hamburg. When our customers in hamburg have energy in abundance. Their batteries are fully charged and they feed the excess into the grid which can then be used by our customers here their link to via our zone and community that was the 1st step to the so. Can was to approach the great operators and offer to help them stabilize the grid its not starve you its a high. Price a power sharing could perhaps one day make the large Utility Companies and the huge power plants redundant if hundreds of thousands of communities went the way of it pulled straight and set up Autonomous Energy generation and sharing systems. One small village in bavaria could inspire other people across germany and in other countries. The global temperature rise needs to be limited to 1. 00 to 2. 00 big at a maximum thats what was agreed in the paris climate agreement in 2016 but countries around the globe how much has happened since then lets take a closer look at the status report. Which countries are doing the most to protect the climate and whos not pulling their weight the Analyst NetworkClimate Action tracker has compiled a ranking. Of. The only countries on course to meet the 1. 00 degree celsius limit the goal of the Paris Agreement are gambia morocco. In 2018 morocco completed one of the worlds biggest solar power plants. The north african country plans to produce over 40 percent of its energy from renewables. If everyone followed indias example Global Warming could at least be held to 2 degrees its massive Tree Planting programs are having a positive effect india has committed itself to ensuring that over one 3rd of its areas forested to help absorb c o 2. Kuster rica is also in the 2 degree club the small Central American country aims to be climate neutral by 2021 part of that drive involves cutting emissions of the Greenhouse Gas natures oxide from its coffee bean production fertilizers are responsible for most of those emissions. The country hopes to cut their use by training farmers to use the chemicals more efficiently. And. If the whole world behaved like the e. U. Temperatures would rise by 3 degrees the German Government is now planning to introduce Carbon Pricing on Gasoline Heating Oil and gas. But critics say a price of 10. 00 euros per tonne is far too low and they say that across the e. U. The switch from coal to renewable should be happening a lot faster. If every country followed in chinas footsteps wed be looking at a 4 degree increase china is also the earths biggest Greenhouse Gas emitter responsible for about a 3rd of all emissions despite a shift to solar power chinas economy remains heavily dependent on coal. And according to Climate Action tracker Global Warming would exceed 4 degrees if everyone were to follow the example of the u. S. It has announced that its pulling out of the paris climate treaty though many u. S. Cities and states are keen to do their bit to fight the climate crisis. But all in all the effort to curb Global Warming has to happen on a global level. Scientists say go being the worlds huge and increasing appetite for it is essential avoid the devastating effects of Climate Change but is that an option to hope that we could just stop Meat Consumption worldwide are there sustainable alternatives in place in barcelona in spain. Innovation we found a startup developing a substitute for meat produced by a 3 d. Printer. Varies a way off for managing the resources upon a planet which is unsustainable. There is big changes when the Food Industry is impacted very much so for example its china as a me the positive ones more Meat Consumption and we want to provide even their governments of china and india with alternatives for their population. To engineer giuseppe shante wants to spark a food revolution with plant based protein and a 3 d. Printer. To start up nova me his working on technology to replicate the Sensory Properties of meat. And in this process create special micro filaments and this microfilm is try to mimic henri sam but what is actually in moscow in story for the chickens. The tissue of a name is very complex is created in a years very organized way and. Is now working with a model a simplification so we found that. But theirs was able to order these micro fibers as if they were muscular fibers and when the technologies radio and when the scale is rated we will provide a proper food that has that back sure that periods that taste itself and is better for about. Writes the code for the program and has just designed his 1st steak well designed it is quite easy enough then we have to make it real which is the hard part to created sure the structure. Is quite easy but thats really one its its perhaps. So why go to all the trouble when we think about the way we are to. It thats its quite know how we have to go of the crop that will feed the car window then the car how we have to manage to convert the protein from the crop so that cow thats for me thats complex. Thats not that complex because we are taking nattering really and taking our property. From vegetables and we are just combining the right ones and putting that together with the printer. The printer uses a powder mix from bryson petes which require a fraction of the water needed to produce speech and this beacon steak does without all the lent and the added costs of raising and slaughtering livestock which will serve everyone in the world starts eating meat regularly. Its not a real meat but its designed to taste just like it. Ultimately affordability will be the key to its success once you really have a different start ups are Different Companies bringing this to a supermarket you will lead a price which will go lower than actually. Still there are the energy costs to think about. We use something that Room Temperature and now weve got much pressure we dont control in the unit youre seeing the machine is quite simple and we believe it could be more efficient force in terms of energy costs should be around 95 percent more efficient official in terms of both of the new choir less water required and less Greenhouse Gas emissions. Present were tearing down forests to plant the crops to feed the animals that end up on our plates. Finding a way to feed people and protect the planet is one of the great challenges of our time. At the end of the beat it comes down to people like you went on to make some noise about the safety of our planet the people of climate conferences off the board are our representatives attempting to solve possibly the biggest crisis of the next 100 years i hope you will make your voice heard well be back next week once again until then about. Our. Science. Technology and digitization. Can we still call this agriculture. Many farmers are being forced to go high tech in a bid to compete in counters displeasing prices. But how far can technology really optimize nature. On the farm of the future. 15 minutes d. W. Into the conflict zone with tim sebastian.
