Our lithium batteries for electric vehicles of sure or curse for the environment. Thats the topic of this weeks edition of made the, the of use business magazine i mother xena, welcome. And these are some of the other stories we will be looking at. Making waves to denmark is eating a city with the ocean, making a come back, kind of former spanish coal town, become a hydrogen hub, and making it minimal our tiny house of the solution to our problems. Its the white gold of the energy transition. Lithium. Thats because the lift him is 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 does 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. Theyre 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 tons followed by 2 a china and 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 way better res, as compared to other electro chemical elements. Chile for its part, wants to raise a share of the mobility boom. In late april chalets, president announced his new National Lithium strategy. He wants the country to not only extract the lithium, but to process it. And he wants to put lithium production under state control. In the middle west, any 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 show a all Mineral Deposits are owned by the state . And nearly always, it is extracted by 2 of the Worlds LargestLithium Companies, s q m. s lease runs out in 2030. While us own all the models runs till 2043. Afterwards, the state will receive a majority stake in all new contracts under president bar, 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 export or 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 china is c h e l, the theory. So you could build out a supply chain in shelly, you know, half though the nano production battery production, perhaps even the next vehicle production. But you know, the largest e b markets in the world or 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 varies uh, really dividing line incomplete in this world drive towards the global new station. Because the global north, its 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 golf outside. So i can have, you know, more investment for an investment. I can have more employment. I can have more state resources. In 2020 some, 10000000 e. These were on the road worldwide by 2025. That figures such as are nearly 80000000. 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 audit comma 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. Julie has pledged to protect 30 percent of its land in marine territory by 2030 and to look for new techniques for lithium extraction. And maybe ive got to make an idea is to look for more modern methodist. I leave such as direct extraction of lithium. You need to reduce the use of water now 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 the public yes, going to i and we 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, email ability 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 ditch orland gas to heat their homes. And denmark is 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, but is the product a drop in the bucket or a scalable solution . This is the new well see in the future. This will be with the danish city of s. B, a sole says 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 n a g 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. Network 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 of like tricity helps of integrate more renewable into the, to the grid. It also enables us to provide c p, so our customers would fail gospel so happy about. So this is something this, in the sense that the heat we produced 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 chase and up to now s p a and its a 100000 residents. Upward light. When a coal fired power plant now is district heat, supply is going to run of green energy. So we got to the locals. Think its good furniture. Can its going from foss. Oh, thats good. You like that . Yeah, of course. As long as its an environmental good, we should the big our, our traditional meat of because the all that this is that this might meeting about just a written dream agenda is a, is a, is a big project. Yeah. But actually implementing the project was not without its challenges. And theres always a lot of, uh, authorities that has to move into the when you do a big installations, big constructions button in generally we have this heating the law, which is almost 40 years old. And then mark saying that these, the district key thing systems, the money has to be used internally, do kind of get profit out of its very environmental obstacles under projects. We are here at the and that is probably we actually very close to a nature 2000 area. Weve got a unit squared habits. Its area. And when we started talking about us, see was based heat pump. We actually are using you hard. Hes didnt really take that much interest in the machine itself, but they were very most interesting what, what happened with the civil war, and especially if that was a leak, its all contamination of the see one on 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 city is reinventing themselves to go green. Thats not just happening in denmark and the spanish city of proud to 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 tub 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. Is this innocuous looking site is home to a Ground Breaking project after coal and oil shell. 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 thought in the commercial ingredient manufacturing on the to lies that we sell different levels. So im putting this task 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 grip with every ton of ammonia generation, with natural gas. So we have made 2 metric tons of c o 2 Green Hydrogen is generated using solar power in with 0 fossil energy. But the 3000. 00 tons now produced per year, is less than a 10th of the amount required. One of the top of the vision of the biggest plan that wed kind in euro to bring it down to product facility for an alliance between e bedford or on 50 bed. Yeah. Like the idea idea is for us to go from 20 megawatts in to 800. 00 in total in parts of yano unimed pulse to that fontana way affect ability aspect to reach ended. Spain is turning into a hydrogen hub, as can be seen at the National Hydrogen center, also located and partly on. 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 up low proficiency has only more or less. We have a lot of Renewable Energy in spain, we know, darling, and then another geographical advantage when it comes to the Energy Transmission while the and if thats equal in particular. And i know 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 the residents and how many parts of the country mean for the campus and the 73. 00 us more hydrogen requires more water. The facility and porter yano uses at least 9 leaders of h 2 o to produce one t low of Green Hydrogen. And this is in the drought stricken south of spain. When i left a message on the im a is whether well have enough water for everything or, 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, im gonna say kick on seeing 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 from the same quantity that evaporates in spain alone every year from agriculture, labor engaged on those and think up with the range of options available. Fertilizer company fair to barrier is already thinking a step ahead of time. But i want to increase our capacity in order to harness the opportunities with Green Hydrogen. An 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 words 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. Importantly, yano itself. A town that might soon come to symbolize the transition from coal and middle 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. Its the idea behind so called tiny houses, the many homes bend from age 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 there 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 well as a 1st time home. I dont want to shut out 1200 year as a month for an a pop mendelson. Its very snow, but i think we carry too much around with us any way. But the problem is where to put them. There arent many sites housing. So if it is an oven problem, not a rural one. The so tell, 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 at a tony houses in the gardens or cold yards yet sometimes you get an idea of an area that housing short a tiny house on that thing that might help but leave you a good thing is a little difficult, but it wont chuckle a huge problem that were facing the gun difficulty named us. We had tried to how it would ease things in an extremely emotional way. He might have pets when shops of 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 eyes or ill fall and you can also order the same story. Muscles match for the stand. Its a few chests and 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. What was the full price and 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 impact on the bottom available. Commercially available, tiny houses use up 7 times more energy per person. One minute useful is on a 2nd factor that needs to be considered is that a tiny house set from the needs quite a lot of space on also on the tiny holes. As you can imagine, if i build a lot of small buildings, then it takes up a lot of space to if it was up to 101 for making the dollars. Whereas if i construct an Apartment Building almost like a house, a lot more people buy with a much smaller plot of land kind of, you know, they have to be thinking about some issues. Definitely, i mentioned well talk about the Tiny House Movement is about more than just addressing housing shortages. Its a lifestyle one that is about owning less, as well as enjoying more freedom with a mind. If i want to live on the bolting coast tomorrow, i could just attach a hitch and head off. I would assume that any one of us thinks 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 the road on so called plain graveyards, not very sustainable. And business an ireland wants to change that. Its turning carpets into gardens of and plain 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 cycle athlete and sec, just the science of them. And the last the site they can still appear on the bank. Theyre looking at it at that to see they can watch people surfing, they can watch peoples funding and theres just none here. And the comfort of this, the sand house to tell them dont the going on, is the problem own of to, for my, across the cabins. By the see here, everything was the windows and the bathrooms. The doors handles everything. A rust so far with these are the thing fantastic. You know, no rust and no meant. And so we thank you very, very good investments. There are acros, graveyards all over the world like this one and to how to well 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 youre going to strip it does change. So once and then kevin rag and other brains behind the so called error pods. They came up with the idea 2 years ago since then. Theyve towed more than that, the Aircraft Parts into god and sheds mobile offices and holiday homes. An 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 and 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, special peer there. Sure. And what do you like on that side . The stuff up can even though the small house from our plane pause in 2 to 3 weeks, including a kitchenette and the 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, we cant do it like, you know, you cant hate them. You know, you couldnt get Planning Commission up here to build massive structure. And so these were absolutely ideal, you know, during the winter and the biggest storm you can set them here. You dont hear a thing, no movement, no, and anything. The smaller, the proud, the easy, they are to transport, making them all move out. That also makes them attractive for businesses attending trade says the 2 Company Founders are looking to so the upgrade the designs and recently hired 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, or, and for people thats doing expos in the future, they also hope to break into the why the european market. After world, the heating costs a high that to the coast in many areas, equally rough to reach our client goals, we have to rethink and reinvent, but which new developments are really a clauser cool and which ones to sound like it . Green or green washing . That was this big topic on maid. Mothers enough, thank you for watching. Take care and see you next time the, the, the robots become our friends.
