Business magazine. Im of the xena. Welcome. And these are some of the other stories we will be looking at. Making waves how denmark is heating a city with the ocean, making a comeback, kind of former spanish coal town, become a hydrogen up and making it minimal, our tiny house of the solution to our problems. If the white gold of the Energy Transition lift him, thats because lift him as a crucial ingredient for rechargeable batteries. Specifically for those sound and electric vehicles, around 8 kilograms of lift him are needed for midsize the electric car. And as the the sector gather speed. So this demand for the metal, lithium exporters like truly are scrambling to me to offers. Business is booming, but how sustainable is the trade around sustainability . A lithium is essential to electric vehicle batteries. The global run on this raw material is well underway. The global north tuscan being the make the edward the resources attraction to the cardboard theater, highly carpeted. But is that really true . Is the shift to e mobility coming at the expense of the global south . And why does chile want to bring its Lithium Companies under state control . In latin america, lithium is extracted from underground fines. The process is straightforward and profitable. The salt rich water is come to the surface and large ponds, where it evaporates in the sun that can take up to 2 years. The salt water is in filter to extract the lithium, a basic component in battery production. Theres more than enough lithium in the world. The Worlds Largest lithium reserves are in bolivia, argentina, and sheila, the lithium triangle, 53 percent of all deposits are located there. When it comes to lithium extraction, australia leads the way in 2022. It mind around 61000. 00 tons, follow by to a china in argentina. Around 130000 tons of lithium were produced globally at home. But thats not nearly enough. By 2028 will need 8 times as much lithium, mainly for rechargeable batteries and smartphones, laptops and wind turbines. Not to mention the vehicles a single mid size european car needs about 7 to 8 q us. Lithium goes into the battery, which stretches nearly the length of the chassis. Its what allows the battery to charge and discharge without lift and theres no electricity flow and the current one drives. The advantage of leasing them is that its really light and also has a small volume. This means step with the leasing better rece. We can really build power full and small and low weight, betral res, as compared to other electro chemical elements. Chile for its part, wants to raise a share of the mobility boom. In late april chilis president announced his new National Lithium strategy. He wants the country to not only extract olivia, but to process it. And he wants to put lithium production under state control. And if you middle with a fellow but 60, by the 1st, the state will participate in the entire production cycle of this monroe by establishing a National Lithium company. And 2nd, whats the exploration . The expectation and value adding efforts will be based on the principle of Public Private partnership. Also, we hope you are. But what exactly does that mean . And sheila, all Mineral Deposits are owned by the state. And nearly always, it is extracted by 2 of the Worlds Largest Lithium Companies, s q m. s lease runs out in 2030 while us own all the models runs until 2043. Afterwards, the state will receive a majority stake in all new contracts under president for which is proposed policy. Historically, most of chiles lithium has been processed elsewhere, mainly in china. China is the worlds biggest with the importer and also the 2nd largest exporter. The asian country dominates the refining industry and lithium ion battery manufacturing. Its by far the leader accounting for 79 percent of lithium ion battery Production Capacity worldwide, followed by the us congress and poland. How realistic is it for a country like chile to develop its own production industry, given that its competing against the big players on the Battery Market like chinas c h e l. The theory, if you could build out a supply chain in shelly, you know, cast out in an old production battery production, perhaps even the next vehicle production. But, you know, the largest e v markets in the world are the, you and china, and they are also building out their own supply chains and capacity. So chile would probably be competing to try to export any, any manufacturing into those very credit and very competitive market. So no, i dont think it would work. So as to like going to be relegated to a supplier of Raw Materials for the big Global Carbon emitters. Were now looking to meet their climate goals, places like china, the us and the you. The varies uh, really dividing line incomplete in this world drive towards the global new station. Because the global north is asking the global south to make the effort to deepen resource extraction in order to the cardboard nice. Theyre highly carbon, a meeting you come. And the most out says so i can have, you know, more Investment Private investments. I can have more than one man. I can have more state resources in 2020 some, 10000000 e. These were on the road worldwide by 2025. That figure is set to be nearly 80000000. 00. Sheila wants to expand lithium production to new regions while doing more to help protect the environment. Until recently, the extraction in the country has been limited to the art of commerce, salt, flat region. Its the Worlds Largest lithium reserves, extracting the commodity from brian emits comparatively little c o 2. But it does consume huge amounts of water, and thats depleting. Vital ground water supplies. Wetlands are being drained and delicate eco systems are at risk. Chile has pledged to protect 30 percent of its land and marine territory by 2030 and to look for new techniques for lithium extraction. And maybe i kind of make, i did is to look for more modern methods as i leave, such as direct extraction of lithium unit to reduce the use of water and for the state to provide communities with a more active role. So that they can also share and as well so like indigenous communities, for example, if im keeping when im gonna do that, i probably guess only i can afford on a the problem is that new techniques are not yet being used commercially. And its unclear when theyll be ready for use but one thing is clear, e mobility is booming and shield a hoops to profit from the trend. But its not clear what will be in chalets priority, maximizing state profits or protecting the environment, or whether the government manages to find a good balance between the 2. European countries are locked in a race race to bits orland gas to heat their homes and denmark. It was leading the way the danish city on the north sea swapping fossil fuels with the ocean. 100000 inhabitants will soon keep their homes with sea water. Thats thanks to a heat pump developed by a german business. What is the product a drop in the bucket, or a scalable solution . This is the new will see in the future. This will be with the danish city of espia. Sophie is its energy. Sieboldt will be pumped by underground pipelines to the Utility Companies plant. Its about 14000 cubic meters an hour. Yeah, that just completing the assembly of a huge heat pump manufactured by m a n energy solutions. Wind will generate the electricity needed to run the system that will provide the city with heat. Heat exchanges transfer about 2 to 3 degrees celsius of well from the sea water. Ultimately, the water inside the city is district heating that work is heated up to a temperature of 90 degrees. Liquid Carbon Dioxide circulating in the heat pump is warmed up by the sea water and vaporizes the c o. 2 is then compressed further increasing its temperature. Wind farms of the danish coast provide the power to operate the compresses. Most of the circuits in the city, especially on the papa, is on wind turbines. So you can say this projects with using a lot of electricity, windows and excess electricity helps of integrate more renewable into the to the grid. It also enables us to provide c, p, so our customers with death calls also happy about. So this is something this, in the sense that the heat we produce when they be present to use very cheap when we have a lot of wind, then the price to see a fall to close to 0. The project was this moms idea, the foundation in denmark is that we have a district key thing system. So that was already uh, the connection in the city. We can produce the heat at one place and distribute it to the, to the houses all over the city. I think this is a very, very big explanation on why denmark is on the full front uh on the screen from system up to no s p a and its a 100000 residents, upward light when a cold fox saying that these, the district key thing systems the money has to be used internally. Do cons, good profit out of it. Their environmental obstacles and the projects we are here at the end. As probably we actually very close to a nature 2000 area. We go to units compared habits, its area. And when we started talking about us, see water based heat pump, we actually can send you a hard, hes didnt really take that much interest in the machine itself. But they were very most interesting what, what happens with the civil war. And especially if that was a leak, its all contamination of the see whats up with refrigerants, and this, we spend an enormous amount of time figuring out in the meantime, those concerns have been addressed. And all parties involved hoping that the heat pump system can go into operation this full the cities reinventing themselves to go green. Thats not just happening in denmark and the spanish city of perhaps a yano dreams of an emission free future are also being born. Perhaps we all know used to be a hot spot for coal mining. Then for chemical production today its changing course. It wants to become your biggest hub for Green Hydrogen. The renewable is being held as a miracle ingredient, and the Energy Transition. Planes, industry and cars are meant to go green with hydrogen. We had a closer look at the small city with big goals. A. This innocuous looking site is home to a groundbreaking project after coal and oil shale. Now, natural gas and mineral oil are also set to be displaced by Green Hydrogen. But theres still a long road ahead as the undertaking is only just beginning right here in this fertilizer factory. What can be the final is hydrogen is shatelle producing another vehicle and not in the commercial ingredient for money back to the to lies that we sell different levels. So im putting this past a single furnace. Currently, it needs natural gas to create the 40000. 00 tons of hydrogen the year needed. Import the yano in a climate and friendly process. Got the nickel group with every ton of ammonia, generates the natural gas we have made to metric tons of c o. 2 Green Hydrogen is generated using solar power and with 0 fossil energy. But the 3000. 00 tons, now produce per year is less than a 10th of the amount required. Whats happening to this is the biggest kind of its kind in your to put it down to product facility for an alliance between the bed or 50 bed. Yeah. Like the idea idea is supposed to go from 20 megawatts in to 800. 00 and total input to yano unimed pulse to that fontana. We have to have the ability as factory just ended, spain is turning into a hydrogen hub, as can be seen at the National Hydrogen center, also located from port to yano. The boom is no coincidence, explains the director programs get state backing that me able to talk a little i just thought theres also funding for the projects in the u. U i which is speeding things of low proficiency. I certainly more or less, we have a lot of Renewable Energy in spain. We know, darling and the geographical advantage when it comes to the Energy Transition, while the set equal anybody to go out and buy new. Over the next 2 years, spain is that to build more wind and solar power facilities, with a total capacity of 35. 00 gigawatts. The equivalent of 25. 00 Nuclear Power plants. But together with the plans for Green Hydrogen, that goal has also attracted criticism. Its good, but its one of those, of course it can be a good solution for all the industries that have no other options here that this development in spain is a real bubble, in many cases, unnecessary discretion. And it leads to conflict with residents and many parts of the country. And we bought a campus in the 7030 s more hydrogen requires more water. The facility and porter yano uses at least 9 leaders of h 2 o to produce one key low of Green Hydrogen. And this is in the drought stricken south of spain. When i lost the limits, one guy im a is whether well have enough water for everything. I mean, not just now, but in the future. How can i speak and according to forecasts that are Climate Change will mean its a 20 percent less altering the decades to come. I think that for the engineers and researchers at the National Hydrogen center and the water is not a problem the, you know, i mean to levels they kick on fields that we expect to be able to cover your, extend time hundreds and the amount of 2030 on and by producing 852818 1000000 cubic meters is not the same quantity that they have operates in spain alone every year from agricultural navigation on those and think that with the range of options available, fertilizer companies, their t barrier is already thinking a step ahead of attending. We want to increase our capacity in order to harness the opportunities with Green Hydrogen on ammonia as a new Energy Sources indicated to the new market. Ash involved medical meaning that fertilizer make are fair to betty a intends to add clean energy to his product range. And there will be no shortage of customers in spain alone. Existing refineries and still work need Green Hydrogen in the hundreds of thousands of tons per year with other new industries. Now also joining them. There are plans for a new Hydrogen Powered still works here in portfolio itself. A town that might soon come to symbolize the transition from coal and mineral loyal to hydrogen. Moving on from down those big emissions to more moto straightens existing, as little space as possible. Thats what living in a city feels like for many, often. There is no other choice, but recently embracing minimal living is gaining popularity. Thats the idea behind so called tiny houses. The many homes bend from 8 to 50 square meters. They are cheap, practical, and said to be sustainable. There minimalism is meant to solve big problems from housing shortages to wasting resources. But its less, really more is a Global Housing shortage right now. People of fever actually trying to find solutions, tiny houses, and just small. They also have the potential to be practical, green and affordable, and theyre growing in popularity. As important as a 1st time home. I dont want to shut out 1200 years a month or in a pop mendelson. Its very snow, but i think we carry too much around with us anyway. Hopefully the problem is where to put them. There arent many sites housing, so teachers arent evan problem, not a rural one. The so 10 tiny house is also any relief to crowded city. Is there even space for them in all concrete jungles as was on definitely more fun, but we might be able to come what a tiny houses in the gardens are called yards yet some particularly urban areas. That housing short the tiny house on the thing that might help alleviate this thing is a little difficult, but he wont chuckle a huge problem that were facing the gun. This will came to us. We had caught the um, it would ease things in an extremely marginal why he might have pets when shop pets. Actually sort of they are, there are often many vacant lot step boom. And you can use a crane to hoist them into the ice and fill the empty space in cities you have done as or all fall know you can also order the same story. Muscles match for the stand. Its a few chess when you take an offer. I lost it mike crow apartment type cities should design the apartment through some beating tiny houses in the form of money to boots. That can be constantly adapted. Environmentally friendly, mobile waste. For simple tracing systems, there are a constant stream of innovations that claim to reduce the Carbon Footprint of tiny houses. But its small, really sustainable, tiny, oldest diesel and mark on the bottom available. Commercially available, tiny houses use up 7 times more energy per person for one minute. All the bells on a 2nd floor, and so that needs to be considered is that a tiny house set from the needs quite a lot of space on also on the timing goals, you dont cut as you can imagine. If i build a lot of small buildings, then it takes up a lot of space for it was up to 101 commission. But whereas if i can start to an Apartment Building almost like a house, a lot more people like with a much smaller plot of land, try me over the place is definitely i mentioned something about the Tiny House Movement is about more than just addressing housing shortages its a lifestyle long that is about owning less, as well as enjoying more freedom with a mind, if i want to live on the bolting coast, im more of the mortgage just to touch a hitch and head off any one of us, things like that. Or, or an extra for it could serve as an inspiration for a tiny house construction. Sustainability is also a big buzzword in the ation industry and plains, theres too much carrots and for example, they are retired. But where do they go . Usually they rode on so called plane graveyards, not very sustainable. And business an ireland wants to change that. Its turning carpets into garden sheds, and plane cabins and to offices because of all and is known for its unpredictable west. One minute its sunny then next its raining. Anyone wanting to watch the waves and needs to wrap up warm or find shelter in one of these up cycles athlete in section. The science of them and all of the sites that you set up here on the bank, theyre looking at it at that to see they can watch people surfing, they can watch peoples funding and theres has none here and the comfort of this, the sand house, the tell them down the going on, is the proud own of to full my across cabins. By the see here, everything rest, the windows in the bedrooms, the doors handles everything. A rust so far with these are the thing fantastic. You know, no rust and no meant. And so we think a very, very good investment there are acros, graveyards all over the world like this one and total space. The International Ad transport Association Estimates that 700. 00 planes go out to Service Every year. And the numbers rising, finding ways to reuse that thoughts is more important than ever. So you want to strip, it does change. So wanted and kevin recognize the brains behind the so called error pods. They came up with the idea 2 years ago since then. Theyve told more than that the aircraft pods into god and sheds mobile offices and holiday homes and error code costs between 20 and 45000 bureaus depending on its size and features. Were basically buying that on the last place. We bought the fuselage sale as soon as it lands we have one ordered, so everything us and the plan has been recycled and sent all over the world to to be read on the some of us going back into plans to be flying again and, and the likes of what were doing here. Were basically use nearly easy percent of everything in the plan. Someones on the bottom doesnt show the rules and flow need more insulation into how it has to be re wyatt. Thats okay there. Sure. And what do you like on that side . The stuff up can, even though the small house from our plane paused in 2 to 3 weeks, including a kitchenette and bathrooms, a tiny house in america in the states is huge. And its getting that were to hear even, you know, people realize now that we cant build a big house just like we always did, you cant do it like, you know, you cant hate them. You know, you couldnt get signing conventional peer to those must have structure as so these were absolutely ideal, you know, during the winter and then pick a storm. You can set them here. You dont hear a thing, no movement, no, and anything. The smaller the pulse, the easier they are to transport, making them all move on. That also makes them attractive for businesses attending trades. This. The to Company Founders are looking to further upgrade the designs and recently hire their own architect. So we have a lot of interest from the Corporate Market now. So weve hired guys and come in and do all our new designs. So for the corporate in, for their offices or, and for people as doing expos in the future, they also hope to break into the why the european market. After world, the heating costs are high that to the coast in many areas, equally rough to reach our climate goals, we have to rethink and reinvent, but which new developments are really a clauser cool and the which ones the sound like it green or green washing that was this next topic on maid mothers the not thank you for watching.
