Even small steps will help us reach the finish line on this edition of the coin get. We discover how smart ideas can keep us on track. Hello, welcome, im some of that pink of iglesia. And chances are its a gleaming white sheet of ice that comes to mind. But from the high out to the himalayas. The was bliss ahmad by a black wind blown dust that contains foot from fires and fossil fuel consumption in the state of Yamato Police efforts to club local emissions. Him to save the glasses that have a major water source and broadest attraction. Ah ha. Without this live via farmer yogi tapper couldnt bring his apples to market and iron bridge that once connected his village of so long in the himalayas with the quill. Normally valley was recently swept aveena landslide, after heavy rains. Now the villagers may do with roadways and temporary wooden bridges work debris, bridge, the jo gilligan up by emergency gregory. We had to build a temporary bridge for emergency. We didnt have any other choice. Melanie eggs, this bridge, is the only way we can transport an injured or sick child on an elderly person in an emergency room on Columbia Commission for akin juggle of job a bridge. When i would by the indian steed off, he might help. Reddish is home to a number of big him, a land lease. Yes. They melt water feeds into the regions 5 main rivers. The co, nominally valley lies 1800 meters above sea level. This year saw unprecedented heat waves. And in the month of july alone, more than pretty heavy rainstorms. The resulting floods led to landslides that killed 140 people. The extreme red there isnt only down to Climate Change. Local factors have also played at all. The volume of traffic has increased massively over the past 30 years. As hill stations draw increasing number of tourists. No co residence lay yogi ta corsi. The landscape is changing before their eyes and will grow rent better. Regularly this year we went for a winter trek for friendship via cambridge, and we love the temperature was very unexpected. In just a span of 2 to 3 days. Quite fleming now, we witnessed a snow melting sidewall. I was very surprised to see that at austin. There are a lot of fluctuations in temperature, mental, theres no balance any models. Jo, balance the balance because hes not a regular wife. There is now less no fall and that employee just rising. But other factors are also driving that leesha meld. Scientists say food from food fire, bomb of land, forest wires and diesel firewood makers is making normal pasta. What problem is that . It says that emitting black kaufman and the black card one gets deposed. The date on the seasonal snort made a death suspended into that. Marcia, there, ive solved a lot of issues because they do the black in color. They have perfect, i saw sion property it and death saw the solid asian and in the protest, the hit the atmosphere. And the impact is huge. Reports on the World Bank Shows the black carbon deposit could be responsible for more than 50 percent of the actually think leesha and snow melt in the region at the bus station in monopoly. And that, that hunter dodge issues a last call for passengers. His bus is about to leave and its not just any bus. The fully electric li girl is one of 25. 00 e buses. Solving the monopoly valley hunter dodge has been working here for years. He too, has noticed changes in the mountains and therefore is 15 years ago there was a lot of snowfall between december enlarge. It was hard to spot land. I know him thinking he will have to take my kids. I dont, i dont on boss to see the snowfall. David, the electric baker has quickly become popular among passengers, wrinkles costs and pollute more. Because of that local school even wait longer to travel in any buttons at the local transport. Corporations land to buy another 300. 00 electric buses and by 202515 percent of its fleet is to be lecturing. But not all the buses can use the same charging point that limits their operating for. Ill be job somebody, some of the biggest challenge right now is that the bus from beckoned infrastructure is Vehicle Company specific . What the kind of in shimla needs are different from color or dam sharla. Jesse, until charging infrastructure is standardized by the government. This problem will continue 100, i use of setting up the vehicle. Specific charging stations is a problem. Moment level been here with the because the hage, nevertheless, Electric Lake us are definitely a step in that direction. Scientists say the idea off using electrical vehicle itself is a really useful thing. If we cant do an earth significantly can affect the black carbon emission into this region, an upgrade strength, it can control audit, cut in half the livelihood, or in half d, o. D, do they bluetooth . Local Electric Lakers could certainly help reduce that damaging black salt emissions in the region. But that when take dine, still people are already benefiting from the new buses, which youd use noise and quantity boot took lena mountain air up in the himalayas. The Southern Italian city of naples is the notorious capital of clim little class known as the camera. One district left one decades has lived in the shadow of the mafia. Gravity and unemployment has become the unlikely center of the cities transition to clean energy. Its a project that demonstrates the uplifting potential of going green residents call it the brooks, the per district of san giovanni, i to do cio and the Eastern Suburbs of naples. The district is grouped by poverty on employment of the mafia. But its here that natalies Energy Revolution began thought paranoia thought it was good to start from dinner because we want a socially Fair Energy Transition that wants to be doing that. And we must fight Climate Change and social injustice together when he gets them on in here. And thats what weve done here last year for sharla quinn, it a lot that it is a while yansa. Italys 1st Energy Community was created on the roof of this building. 166 solar panels produce electricity for 40 families. Energy has become part of a social project here, the former orphanage of the familia, the maria foundation, is a drop in center for families. A place where children can go to save them from exploitation by the camera, with our risks involved. Pre out in the home, up on now, this whole comes from a bullet fired in front of the entrance of the foundation. Yet hit this wall with all a blatant sine of organized crime. One of the big problems here than the english that they want to show that places like this are not wanted to know anything because we educate the children to respect the laws. I do about timing and our weapons are books, more musical instruments, and even solar panels, one than me for the old back. Gennaro is 11 years old. He comes to the foundation every day and its made him an environmental activist. Children play an important role. Theyre the ones who persuaded the parents to participate in the energy project. Crash her claim on. We installed more solar panels here by and over there now. And also on this side share with key. That makes me happy thought, because at least were doing something for the climate chum. I told my momma that its good for the environment in there. And you also save money. I guess old pasquale cheer. Yellow has been working for the foundation for 20 years. But for him, its about much more than alternative energy. Regarding that i got seductive that we try to give these kids a chance that at that we tell them that, okay, this is a difficult neighbourhood. There are many ugly things that shes on, but theres also something beautiful was ive been though weve had a place where you can do theater and music and shes all of it. Where there are people who will listen to you and who can help you when you have opportunities here. Why not for me, doc . Whether its for football, environment workshop or making music over a 100 kids come every day in all seasons that are on that didnt show us much of god. Why . Oh god, i had with him. I said live at home. But when we die in of getting a studied on it, we want the electricity project to show families that we care about in senior. The 1st Energy Community was not created in the city center. But here anybody in naples, east to me were the 1st to do it or plain this. Finally, the residents no longer see themselves as the last ones, the forgotten ones who always get the leftovers. Not know, but this time we are the 1st time will only money south doesnt penguin ramos, the facility cost 100000 euros, financed by the canal sued foundation. The families are now entrepreneurs who not only used electricity, but also sell it for several months. Now. The facility has been producing Green Electricity at the foot of a service and take a 2nd with a net of daddy, this Energy Community represents a new path with his district. And on that, there are still many unsolved environmental and social problems. And the mafia is still present the back, but this is finally a positive story even following their example. In the next few months, dozens of new Energy Communities are to be set up all over. Southern italy. Well, rooftops are one place to store solar panels. But as the world strives to transition to an emissions neutral future, the thought is on full space to put all the for to water systems, but the future will require. So where exactly can we put our solar cells . Our reporter explore the options we need less of this and more of this to stay below 1. 5 degrees. But time is running out solar still only account for 3. 7 percent of Worldwide Energy production. We desperately need more. But where can we put the solar panels . They need space on precious land land we need for towns, houses, and st. Intact, ecosystem and food. Here we have a serious space issue. Were already using a lot of our soil to grow food. But what if we grew crops and generated energy at the same time . Its time for agri voltaic, the idea behind it, double the harvest. To do this, modules are built in such a way that the soil beneath them can still be used for growing plants. What potential types are there . One is sol offensive. The space in between the fences can be used to grow crops for life stock or flour strips. Or the modules could be built in a way that gives the panels enough space to rotate towards the sun. But how the plants fair growing under or near the panels, weve been growing lots of different kinds of perhaps things that you would see at your local farmers market. So tomatoes, peppers, squash ob regime, are all these different types of prompts that seem to do really well. So the plans still get enough light to matters and chili peppers, even double de yield when shaded by philip. And thats because if they get too much done, they get stressed and stop. So to synthesizing, which means they stop growing in a world that is getting hotter and hotter the modules ensure that less water is needed for irrigation. Just think if you spilled your coffee or your water, your tea in the shade versus the full sun, where will it stay . Were longer in the shade, were finding that every time we irrigate it would stay wet for 2 days instead of 2 hours. But yes, there are few, but not everything can be grown under the panels. Crops like wheat or millet require full sun to grow. Well, researchers are looking into which panels and set ups would be best for which crop. Some plans need bigger gaps between the panels. Corn and wheat would need taller ones, while shrubbery soybeans will be fine with a more squat variety. But the trend for the coming years is promising. According to a Market Analysis institute, the Global Market is anticipated to grow by almost 40 percent in the next 5 years in dry regions, or those that rely heavily on agriculture like india, indonesia, and many african and south american countries. Agreeable takes could save a lot of land and water. Floating photovoltaics, or float of all take might just be the next big thing. The idea, solar panels are mounted on raft like structures which float on a body of water. On the pimples, in coverage of all there is awards which are available on the room. The neural group give about 23. However, what of installed capacity . This is tom finder. He evaluates the economic and technological feasibility of large scale floating p v. System to put see 2 perspective on these 23. 00 terror would generate as much electricity is the whole world of needs to be in a year. You can already see what that could look like at one of the biggest floating solar farms in singapore. Here the solar plant floats on the surface of a reservoir and produces enough energy to power about 16000 forum flats in the city state. The biggest floating farm in china even produces 5 times as much energy. The water also cools down the floating panels, making them more efficient. The panels and structures have to withstand wind waves and corrosion. So father, multiple studies have not found any severe impact on either Water Quality or ecosystems. Experts expect flow to voltaic to expand by up to 30 percent annually over the next 5 years, with markets, mainly in asia. But europe, africa, and the us are starting to invest as well. So any other places left to put solar panels up in space yet getting as close to the sun as possible. Here the sun shines 24 hours a day and you need 0 land on earth. So why dont we put solar panels in the earth orbit . The you caleb Space Energy Initiative with around 50 partners from industry, government and science is planning to install a solar power satellite in space by 2035 the us china and japan are also taking part in the solar space power quest. And this is how it might work. Satellites in the earth, g, a stationary orbit, which is around 35000 kilometers from earth, collect solar energy using huge solar panels. They convert the energy into microwave radiation and beaming down to earth on the ground. A net of receiving antennas, or rec, tenors, collect the microwaves and convert them to electricity for the grid. Each satellite might produce 2 gigawatts of continuous power. As much as around 700. 00 utility scale wind turbines, theyd be huge around 1. 7 kilometers in diameter. And well wait several 1000 tons. The satellites would start to beam energy to earth 24 hours a day. The beam is considered to be harmless for animals and humans. Its about a quarter the strength of the midday sun. But energy is lost during the transmission and the conversion process. And the cost of getting the modules into space is well sky high. Even if we manage to build and finance solar power satellites in the next decades, we need more solar power to combat Climate Change now. And they are already far more realistic ways of generating solar energy quickly without losing urgently needed land. And all of them are cheaper, faster, and much more promising. Often, it takes a creative mind to think outside the box, or in the case of our next report, the solar cell. We met a doctor designer who integrates full of technology into her work in a quest to redefine our relationship with solar power and promote energy efficiency. For dutch designer marianna, fun elbow, the sun is her inspiration. So all started with this is something, its a small and beautiful as this is harvest energy, solar cells take center stage and her designs like in these illuminated window decorations. So here i try to make, instead of like making solar invisible, that it really becomes like the future that it becomes an aesthetic addition to the work it is, is a self powering artwork. These solar window panels look like stained glass, but they also have a function. And the solar powered hanging lamp called santa is designed to mimic sunset. The sun is august. Beautiful thing were like all know very well. And i mean, is this moment when youre on the, on the beach or you see the sun setting is magical moment . Thats kind of like what i want to use in the lights. So under the sun goes down, a sunny goes on, and thats like i have everyone has his personal relations with the sun. But its also like that it the fact that its powering object and his light is super, super fascinating. Murray and fun album works out of this studio in amsterdam. She collaborates were scientists to create objects with a double function. They promote energy efficiency, such as this table, which is also a docking station. It captures daylight and its you can plug your phone or light or you can charge your devices from this. One of her bigger projects was for the dubai expo 2020. She created the colorful solar panels for the dutch pavilion. The solar roof provided power for the pavilion and also allowed in enough sunlight for the plan. Marians design show how diverse solar panels can be. These are organic photovoltaics which is like, theyre printed on pets and they dont use any like very heavy metals which is about for environments. And they are completely circular. So theyre super light weights is kind of like a new generation of Solar Technology. Marion is also come up with a solution for Food Production in a self powering greenhouse. Its currently on display in the netherlands at the floor, yada holder culture expert. Her creation enables the production of food in places where theres a lack of electricity for farming space. This is my creation of the future of farming and its called power plants. And you basically can grow your food everywhere on your rooftop. So you dont as a flight in from the other side of the world, but you can really grow it within your own home. So its uses vertical farming, and this is all powered by solar glass. Even though shes a designer by trade, scientific developments are important to marians work. Solar cell has evolved so much since the last dikes and their invention. And i think its time that we start looking up in the sky where we got all the potential. Instead of digging down into grounds, i mean, if we could live in balance with nature and use sources that are coming all the time in our, in abundance. I think the worlds can be very beautiful place for my infant elbow, the future of Solar Technology certainly looks bright. Ah, love the sun isnt the only thing in the sky that we can harness for energy. A german stock up is using air. It says its developed a synthetic fuel that makes use of the Greenhouse Gas, carbon dioxide, and exciting prospect for our reporter who found out more why filling up at a berlin petrol station. May have you heard about this . You can fill up with the Greenhouse Gas c o 2 and use it to drive or fly or power to ship crazy fuel made out of thin air. No need to burn fossil fuel any more, using something that is c or 2 neutral . Impossible asked him. He makes this kind of soft. Hey tim, how does it work yet . Do you turning the combustion process on its head in a what we aim to do is take energy, water and c o 2 and turn them into synthetic fuel. So that closes the seo to cycle, and we can create c o 2 neutral fuel austin. Ok. It works the other way around to really understand it. I think i have to go to al up then, please correct me if im wrong. You say you take water, its 2 o an energy, lots of energy in the form of electric power. That electric power splits the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. No need for the oxygen. We only need the hydrogen. And here it comes. You combine the Greenhouse Gas t or to with hydrogen, and whats her good is fuel glue fuel that recycle c o 2 instead of emitting it to is it really that isnt good . I just put your synthetic fuel in my car instead. Panel then system in and if we can deliver sufficient quantities to gas stations, then you can fill your car with it. Thats a major opportunity provided by c o 2 neutral fuel monkey you can use the existing infrastructure. Oh, looks and come. Oh, okay. Got it. Synthetic fuel makes dirty god me as long as the whole process is powered with clean energy. Well, thats a lot to think about. Its a lot to think about. Indeed, joining the conversation about going vien can be overwhelming floss you may not know where to start. Thats exactly why we are here. Eco, india will continue to bring you ideas in solutions to help you make informed choices about how to care for the environment. Dont forget and join us again next week, until then. Good bye. Ah, [000 00 00;00] with ah, with who a 1000000 and is sold with painting by on why cold waffle world famous . How a fisherman some from acura major to the top of his game, re max 90 minutes on d, will you . It was 2016 as like a bunch of the queen casa, wants to see if germany was for me. The last few years had been quite a ride, getting poorly in touch with the permanence averted on the hermit. When it comes to jem appears on of course i always look right in the eyes for a chip, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby of mine hunger longer a prude. I love to be in huge bear repose, americans. But when you feel multi giving your real life culture just another way of living, are you ready to meet the driver and then join me, rachel stuart, and b, w. Ah, when you work as an architect, mcawain or not at all . Women in architecture. Why are they so invisible to the larger public . We decided to ask them. And so if women grow up with insufficient little models, they cant identify with certain professions about their guiding principles. Messes and what is the poetry, the secret of a house . And im house about their motivations to texture does so much to you in the real goal of architecture is to create habitat for human about their struggles and dreams. Responsibility are huge. They have so much to lose and shattering the glass ceiling. Women in architecture dismiss has to be really, really good. Starts september 30th on d, w. Ah ah ah, ah. Ah, business dw, live from berlin, occupied regions of Eastern Ukraine begin voting on whether to become part of russia. Western policy call the so called referendums, a sham,
