A cement mill of spanish farmers are coping with continuing droughts. And how portugal is leading the way with electron mobility key to now a mining town located 1200 kilometers from swedens capital, stock. Com. Its march and the city has yet to emerge from the long winter. What is brought most people here for the past 100 years is working. Europes largest iron or mine. A mine tor. You can drive several 100 meters deep into its interior by car. We after the mine added to a 100 that we are 230 meter under the top of the well, thats the 0. We arrived at a depth of more than 1300 meters in the worlds biggest iron or mine, a new experience for me. No dusty, dirty working environment that probably still exists somewhere. But state owned company, l. K, a b is proud of its modern or mining alexander, folk head controls in excavate, or remotely everything is computer operated. It looks like a hotel lounge here, the terminal workers, the new office, the iron or minerals are delivered to the excavator by remote control, jack hammers. It does depend, if it is the sold driven or a electrical and driven machine. And it also depends on the rock quality and, but this one generally this machine will get 18 tons per round. So to say, so on a normal shift is allowed to continuously run. It could easily produce a 2000 tons this mind makes we didnt the 12th largest iron or producer in the world and a reliable supplier for e u. Steel producers. The the iron oars carted away in automated electric trains like this before contains about 50 percent iron. It is find the ground and then melted in rotary kilns the operator see that 100 percent renewable electricity is used they want to replace all combustion and ends with electric drives. They aimed to create an end product of 100 percent green sponge on like 2045. Yes, we have the discussions already of the customers. All of our customers are willing to buy this whole 7 face the from cuter. Now, a change of scene to the east coast of lou d o. L k a b already runs that who but its melting furnace with other Industrial Partners here. It uses hydrogen to create a precursor to steal from the raw iron pellets. And in 2028, the iron ore producer wants to get into the business of making climate neutral sponge iron itself. This would further add to its value. Last year, l k, a b made a profit of 1400000000 euros. Significant deposits of river herbs had been found nearby. Now the old mining challenge is to make way as the rich deposits of iron or beneath it and right next door for kilometers away, the new town of cuter, now it cost over a 1000000000 euros paid for by the Mining Company. So how are the residents coping fully yourself . Havent actually moved my household, but i think its a new start. You know, its a new beginning for a lot of things. And of course, theres a lot of motions, lot of confusion and the and things, but its a new beginning that we could all be a part of in this modern day. So thats pretty, pretty exciting. But i do like the details that its put into it. If you look at like the facades, individual design details, you can tell that to the architects house kind of done the research on, on the tao around 6000. 00 residents must relocate construction would only take 10 years. But the town curator makes plans well in advance and ask the residents what they wanted. We also have this. What do you lack in in you and in the old city . And what do you want the new city or . So one thing was like a, a more to find the shopping area because we didnt have any like shopping states and so on. So here, im sorry, on the new shopping street and a lot of stores here. And they also wanted to have more nature because nature is very important for kids and city representatives have already been given in new city hall, paid for by the Mining Company suite. And its becoming more important as a supplier of iron or to the you. And in the future of rare earth as russia and china are unreliable supply partners, thats why the mayor finds it important that new workers move here to the north. Already are attractive safety because of this new state defense, the and the close the our close position to the night tour. You can reach everywhere in, in, in short, a time. Then from 5 to 10 minutes from the new assistant. If you want to go with the sky console or dozens of historic wooden houses from the old town are being brought over to the new kid or not towed in by truck. The old identity is to live on and the new town, the old town is already starting to sink as the valuable iron ore is being dug out from underneath that Artificial Intelligence has become imperative in many areas. A i controlled robots and increasing automation. Writing text. Reading arch or making music and heavy industry here to a i is gaining traction. Among other things, its helping to combat the skilled worker shortage and High Energy Consumption and International Organizations say it has even greater economic potential heavy equipment is being deployed in southern germanys how requiring the stone is ground up and used, for example, as additives for the cement industry, the mineral Materials Company was almost on the verge of bankruptcy with its outdated plant. The reason high electricity costs the company was under pressure and costs had to come down to solution Artificial Intelligence. Im glad youve cuz i know we have relatively small plants there, so i have to be more efficient than everyone else. So then i have a chance. If i just use the oldest systems and controls, i can get there for weeks. Huge amounts of data from the system were collected in storage using motion sensors. Hey, i software use this data full to develop a new electronic control system. The result, Energy Savings of around 20 percent management is satisfied, the system is now centrally controlled. The software calculates exactly how the system should be run in order to work effectively and with the least amount of energy of the ai. A control system replace has several highly paid skilled workers and one fell swoop. But no one has been laid off yet. Todd voice because the system runs much more smoothly and better and tracks all the process parameters. I can feed people to do other tasks that are much harder to automate or can be automated at all. So you can just really get a hold somebody do that also makes a worthwhile. That includes the son of the call you next to hand over. The process is called retrofit tier. A completely outdated press from 1989 as being technically refurbished development engineer. News dude knows his way around previously only well trained skilled workers were able to run the process. A control system that today looks like something from the stone age of automation bus, which defines what was important. The fact that it was that people were at the center. And if they contributed their experience, for example, you can set the energy and its set according to the workers experience the middle by top of things to the eyes. Software he developed this expertise in running the press is no longer needed. The engineer spent weeks collecting all kinds of data from the process with the help of the sensors. The a i software sorts this knowledge and has been able to control the press independently is a byte distances team. Once the system is working properly and has been trained, you can assign workers to the system who are not experts in this area. This lets you reduce the number of those who are specifically trained for this type, and in so doing cutting costs i was completed since you can see until middle customer loyalty. And this a i software will soon be ready to market. Its feared that many skilled workers in the middle industry will then lose their jobs. Next to berlin, Tier Software program, or nina kafka is working on an a i solution for laboratories she use this are Intelligent Software and robots to transfer toxic substances into different containers. In labs, this is time consuming and expensive routine work. Large pharma firms want to use this a i assume to deploy a expensive lab staff more effectively. One of them gets there were monotonous tasks, were the same processes are constantly carried out. Then this is a very good aid. I dont believe the jobs will be lost as a result. I believe that on the whole, it can be a support Artificial Intelligence, a threat or an opportunity. The German Economic Institute in cologne. Its calculated in a study that, hey, i has the potential to boost the German Economy by 330000000000 euros over the next few years. Yeah, and dont have time to like we have only had minimal productivity growth in germany in recent years said hey, i can help to reverse this trend and ensure additional productivity that thats why i see this is a great opportunity and especially with the skilled worker shortage that were already seeing out, which will get worse in the coming years. The ai is one way to counteract this. And this is kind of getting to file as a useful tool, German Companies are finding more and more applications for a i. But the big innovations are coming from global tech giants. Google, apple, intel, and video German Companies simply can keep up with that. Finding quinn clevelands is the whats the basic system say that the competition is very, very difficult to when we think techie guy was a big tech guy. And some of us who invest unimaginable amounts of money every year and developing basic software. My personal assessment is that there will probably continue to be a dependency white diagnostic. Each type of Steam Program or as will soon have much faster computer chips at their disposal, which will give even more impetus to the use of Artificial Intelligence. To stay competitive on the global market, german industry has to seize this opportunity. Some drink tea, others love their coffee or mineral water, alcoholic, or non alcoholic drinks. There are many ways to quench your thirst, but one thing is clear, we all need to drink and the foundation of all drinks is of course water. But its not just humans and animals who need clean water to suffice. Plants also depend on it. This reservoir, i used to be full to the brim. Now its almost empty. It will say 80 percent of the trees here dont bear fruit. Fruit that dried up rivers, time Drinking Water shut off, and the all important tourism, the search for solutions has begun. All the condos, where behind the cost of those souls, general prosperity, the region developed well to well, farmers covered the place with all the cato plants. Now theyve begun to trump them down. There is no longer enough water for everyone, especially not on the hills. Is around the front on your theres been less and less for a few years now. No, no. We dont recover from the summers in winter because the winter comes, but it doesnt rain antonio here as a of a condo trees since the 1980. So hes are in the valley but they dont get enough water interceptor. And these because we have to little harvest, we take them to in normal times theyd be left hanging down for and tony of you and many other farmers, it could be much worse. The minimum, i get that fortunately we have treated water, but its not enough to meet the demand. The law at the end of the name treated water around to build a smaller guy in the hard key area. People have known for use that the water was running out. Millions of bureaus have been invested in new reservoirs and pipes, so that the water from Sewage Treatment plants does not flow into the sea. But on the fields. Now they are tapping into more treatment plans. Every drop counts, but treated water is not as clean as water from reservoirs or wells. So scientists are looking at the best way to use treated water. Now what are headed out, the in a recycled water, has many advantages of going to the, as it has a high nutrient content. And if it has nitrous potassium that phosphates fast you, beautiful and in the form of the plants directly absorb. I mean, it doesnt mean that there was no need for any treatment that means apart from removing the pollutants. I mean, im thinking this how the experts are now also looking at how other plans cope with treated water, such as papaya, as of a condos here, have a problem with it. A look, see them. Ok. So what we find that of a condos in particular are especially sensitive to solidity. Hey, i wonder how what that some of the condos have dry leaves is the result that they suffer from negative side effects because the treated water we work with is salty, comfortable. How this will treated water doesnt necessarily have to have these high levels. But in the case of the hockey, a municipality of yall got, although it does not hold on. While i said, well, i see they 7 30 am the water supply his team and be like, smart guy receives its tasks for the day. There was plenty to do. And a few pipes of burst again. But 1st, thomas road to be guess mixed the lines of many residents easier again, on the web. Okay. Good. So mean, if we notice that were using more than we are allocated by the original supplier, you know, we have to shut off the water in some areas. And part of the more people we prefer to do this at night level of you as, as it has less of an effect on the population, will not pick a network. But also because we can stop water from disappearing through leaks, leaving the leaks account for 20 percent of water consumption. One reason why the pipes are put under more strain when the water is shut off. So the mobile cut off here, then we have 3 or 4 bridgewater pipes each day. It happens regularly. The pipes are made of polyethylene and are already several years old, which makes them more vulnerable. Over time, the impulse, the municipality has its own. Well, as for the Drinking Water supply to him, a sort of g guys shows us one, but the pumps have been at a standstill here for more than a year or as new. I forget people are safe way above the ground water level kept falling at all. Well at the moment. Okay. We could only pump less and less water. You can run them over to them. At some point it was so beautiful that we couldnt do anything with the big pump, and some i knew there was still some water and of them but. But the pumps here would quickly break down because they kept switching on and off. Thats why the 85000. 00 residents are now rely on water from neighboring areas. In the bally smaller got town hall. The deputy in charge is trying his best to conserve what water exists and get new water. Awesome. As he goes to email it, we have to celebrate the water, which we have plenty of here. But even if its a bit more expensive, but it would be a shame to lose our economy, the existing structure and the number of businesses. And above all, what is made are a hockey region famous. Im going to send you the model, the average region around ameria desalination enables farming there. And on the costa del sol, there was just wanting to save a nation plant more are planned, but that does not solve short term problems. Last year, i know if water was needed for 14000000 tourists here. The Hotel Association review is, is to give interviews on this issue for fear of spoiling the Atmosphere Initiative on a Hotel Manager who did go home. Big still seems pretty relaxed about his new hotel. You always find his annoys hotels. Yes, i mean, this is a new hotel and of course we plan to have them about that. So we have the water cisterns on the building where the rain water is collected. And we have 3 water wells and we have toilet facilities, for example, that we can feed to use treating water back into the system. You go to fuel and couldnt indeed and detect non logan. But he also strongly feels that dissemination plants must be built quickly. Submitted me a set goals of the mediterranean, is big enough that we can take water from it and it would just need to be disseminated to return to our water supply. What is the water simply flowed at the touch of a button, since it hardly ever rings the focus is now shifting to a machine thats being built in under lose. Yeah. But its actually only used far away, based on the principle of an air conditioner. It draws water from the air Technology Like this, uses a lot of electricity. For the see the we have cut consumption by a quarter to look into this. Now lets us produce a leader of Drinking Water for 3. 00 to 0. 05. Yeah, the out of it today is i think us into monday or a little there was soon that will be a plan for domestic use. More interesting still is a project that will be even bigger than this shipping container as well, getting a little but, and also to this. Whats new for us now is meeting the needs of agriculture in nature. They didnt have a good enough efficiency in compatibility with Renewable Energys. Yeah. Especially foldable tax create needs and opportunities and the cultural sector such as an economist, hydroponic greenhouses, konita, bonia, a. I was doing the irrigation with water from the surrounding air. This wont be a solution for the condos in village, Monica Antonio here and many others are no true on men, goes as they need less water and are more resilient. But all the cato still dominate in the our heart. Yeah. For now, it just needs to rain and antonio here is waiting. Driving an electric car or even like is environmentally friendly. But only if the electricity comes from Renewable Energy sources, such as wind or sunshine. Portugal has a lot of folks. Thats one of the small countries of europe to southern most tip couldnt become a role model when it comes to electron mobility. But how does that look in reality . We put the mobility to the test. Driving an electric car through portugal. How well does it work . The country sees itself as an electron mobility by any or id like to know what works differently or better here. Then for example, in germany, the rental car in opal, mocha has a roughly 330 kilometer range. Pretty average. The 1st charging station in the evening doesnt work great. The 2nd 1 in the morning is far from the city center, and its pretty slow. The 3rd one is faster. Okay, its now the fast charge it, but at least this charging process works very smoothly. And we will gain some more kilometers until we get a real fast charger. After a bump you start, it turns out that fast chargers are widespread. And often at supermarkets, one thing i really like i can pay it all charging stations with a card or an app spontaneously driving long distances is no problem arriving in lives, but they were already lots of ease on the roads here. The mobility seems to be on the right track in portugal, portugal. So electric street began in 2009. The government set up an agency to ensure a good start. The goal back then sounds straightforward. National level mean probably the 1st country in the world to set up a Legal Framework for email ability to the point. It started with a pilot project, a charging network at the national level, with one simple goal and making things as easy as possible for a the drivers by letting them use every charging point in portugal. Put the spots because you, me and the assess bullock is to install and portugal insured competition right from the start operating the charging stations and supplying the electricity are kept separate. This means that electrical power suppliers can also compete finding a parking space on the street, and theres been almost impossible, but not for any drivers. They get discounted parking cards. This is also meant to promote e mobility at a local level. Using new seals, you have a special sticker for which i made 12 zeros a year that lets me park in less than the most expensive zone for this is theres a parking card machine. At the back. You can see the red zone, the most expensive in the money. Thats one of the advantages of an easy savings and 1000 to go here. We have to in portugal, the number of the registrations doubled in 2023. The e b Users Association gives a simple explanation for the exponential growth for not tim i can walk through with our system, which is based on the standardized bank card, like in charge of any charging station, not a single card. Ease of use and competition, not a given, and germany has some catching up to do in this area. Victor gomez visited the country in 2023. Look at the call and use the local charging station. This is on low. I had to download 2 different apps for 2 different stations and the price was much higher than the portugal stopped before the plug out. And it was all a bit complicated for you all, all complete gauze and despite more subsidies, portugal in general, and lisbon in particular, are not perfect. The navy driver notices this when looking for a free charging station, she couldnt find one in this city center. Because i do sampling, kitting always have to have a plan b cuz the charging station that was free earlier may now be occupied leave because the best are the Parking Spaces with simple chargers, of course, some for school by the supervisors. There are some here for normal charging you man for fast charging over the course, and we know that people will leave again quickly. He means this guy will be happy that must have given him. Portugal is paving the way and what began throughout the you. In mid april, the drivers can now pay at new charging stations with a credit card and likely more expensive leave than in portugal. This is where the Raw Materials for steel or mind. Hey, i can cut energy use what spanish farmers will soon be growing until e mobility can be driven forward. Weve shown you all of this in todays edition of made. See you next time the, all the truly treated by western european patients of the nome and medical textbooks. Does that lead to discrimination against people of color in medicine . Does it result in false diagnoses . And more complications is the racism in medicine in 15 minutes on the w.
