The chaos unfold. A Climate Emergency demonstrate as demand more action from government. Poor nations continued to cling to fossil fuels, bought one more compensation for more and more natural catastrophes resulting from decades of pollution. From mainly richer economies, they refused to stick to their pledge as a financial late and art transitioning fast enough to renewables. And as the whole world keeps pumping out, record amounts of climate killing, Carbon Dioxide Companies Raise to offset emissions using all sorts of tricks. Others make scientific breakthroughs, trapping c o 2 in the earths crust. Is that the answer . What about and you design for wind turbine, its easier on the Environment Holding Companies Accountable to their plastic promises and and you way of recycling developed by a student in india. Welcome to d. W. s business weekly made. Im painful then the planet is heating. The seasons are all over the place at the moment. A man made boost in the frequency of extreme weather events as many of us on age glaciers and melting away. Who knows what unlocked diseases, the arctics permafrost will release. Global warming is already destroying the serenity that some of us here on planet earth enjoy. Its killing people and many more lives are at risk. Is this natures rat could rising temperatures put satellites on a faster orbit interrupting the beam of radio signals, wed need to communicate within our mobile networks. Climate change as leading to more poverty, aggression, and conflict over resources. The consequences costing us much more than the price tag on all climate Protection Measures combined. And yet, theres so much we could change that would make business sense and create a greener, healthier world. Is looking those Greenhouse Gases underground. The way to go. His date of use mcsaunder with what many believe is a very promising project from norway. Ready tucked away in the norwegian fjords wise one potential solution to the climate crisis. The Northern Lights project is part of a broader government funded program. Right now it is only a construction site, but soon this could be one of the World Leaders and carbon catherine storage, or c, c s. We accompanied norwegian Prime Minister eunice castilla on a tour of the complex. I think this is going to attract major interest as we increase prices of c o 2. As you do in the European Union, we do it in norway. It has to be done worldwide. And when that happens, there will be a commercial interest to do away with c o 2. We need to get c o 2, down and away, and not up to the atmosphere and, and this is what were doing here. The norwegian government believes this technology will be key when it comes to reaching climate targets. The idea, liquified c o 2 was transported to the Northern Lights facility by ship. From here it is pumped out to see via pipelines and then injected into rock formations, 2600 meters underneath the sea bit. The technology has been tested in smaller Industrial Projects and norway since the mid ninetys. Here excess c o 2 is pumped back into the ocean floor instead of releasing it into the atmosphere, which would come with a carbon tax industry experience is now being put into practice year at the Northern Lights, facility. Oil and gas giants shell to tollen ignore delivered their expertise todays opening of the facilities Visitor Center marks an important 1st milestone. Visitors from around the world should be able to learn from the knowledge gained here in norway construction here an air gun will go on for one and a half more years. And after that, the goal of Northern Lights is to store 1500000. 00 tons of c o 2 each year underneath the c bed. But just as important as that is to actually demonstrate that this technology is scalable in order to have an effect on climate change. Scaling up the business means handling larger volumes and bringing more clients on board. The Largest Partnership so far was agreed with Yada International here in the netherlands plant manager. Because sherlock took us on a tour of the facility. Yes, business is fertilizers and industrial chemicals. C o 2 is generated in the process. Some of it goes to the food and mystery, but quite a lot is released into the atmosphere. The ammonia upon right now is running at its minimum load. That means that we have approximately 3000 tons of c o. 2 emitted right out of this deck. Once called the depth of the place, it will be 0. Thats our promise. Once the program is up and running, the seo tool be captured, liquified, and stored in vessels like these. But why does a Corporation Like yard i want to put in this additional work at an extra cost . Apart from environmental concerns, there is also a Business Case to be made. Sherlock told us there will be also, i think, very strongly the meet and also the demand for the colonized broke. So will it happen in all parts of the world at the same time . No, but europe past the unique opportunity now to be the front runner and to go through this Energy Transition that save us full speed. And if we want to be part of it, work still needs to be done to make that happen. In 2024 tankers will begin shipping out the carbon from yacht us kate. Back in norway, in this city of bag. At the Norwegian Research center, scientists have been exploring the storage of c o 2. Despite warnings from critics over safety issues, researchers like sarah gast, i believe there is little to worry about. Theres a lot of natural barriers under ground that keep it from coming back up again. Then over time, nature sorta takes over and will eventually dissolve all that c o 2 and itll form minerals and these processes can take, am decades and hundreds of years. But the point is, is that a nature will, will do its work and, and prevent that c o 2 from, from being released again with decades of experience, both in the field and here in the lab, researchers say they are comfortable with the technical aspects of Carbon Storage inside the business side of things though is not very advanced for the moment. Northern lights relies on government subsidies. What they need is a function in carbon markets. If c c s is going to depend on state subsidies, its never going to take the scale. Its never going to have the impact that it needs to have. We need to inject tens of millions of toms, not only no delights, but as an industry. And for that it needs to be commercially based. Storing carbon underneath is see could help slow down global warming, but to really have an impact. It has to be done fast. Now they meant to be a Green Alternative Energy source. And they do. Hon is the power of the wind. But those Wind Turbines can kill bats and birds, their loud and cast long shadows. A lot of people dont want them in their back yards for opponents to the white giants. Keep watching because there is an alternative. It works on good vibrations. This is a wind turbine, 2 and a half meters toll and almost silent. It was developed by the spaniards devotee on. Yes. He applied for a patent tall, still a student. But it wasnt until 9 years ago, the things at his Company Vortex really took off. And it all began in this cellar in avila delaware road. We havent for la, we met on fridays after work computer when we pushed some tables together. A lot about 90 fans have completed them together and built Something Like a wind tunnel as equal a governor story. Then we put our 1st prototype in there with a water bottle on a sticker. You will not be much good. Thats when we saw that it created a physical phenomenon when it was done, and surprisingly what the books said was true when we rusted. I davidian years got the idea for the power plant from this video about the tacoma bridge, which collapsed in 1940 after it began wobbling and strong wind. Ready after the water bottle ayanas and hot as developed, their 1st real pressure type, which was already generating some electricity, went the media in the middle is the generator. And ive been told that, oh, thats the part that allows us to convert motion into electricity or in the thats it, is hooked up at a slim round structures with very simple, no gears, no bearings, no mechanics on the input that converts wind power or into electricity and a half in a different window, and in a panic, they started working on perfecting this system. That progress was slow condo. Now when you search the internet for Wind Turbines without blades, you wont find anything. Again, there were no examples for us to learn from them other than the lessons of basic physics regarding the project peaked the curiosity of companies and scientists. With the help of research grants, the wind tunnel got bigger. And so did the turbines. Developers are focusing on the 100 watt tacoma unit, which could be used on the terrace or the roof of the house. For the yesterday, poke a moke moon up the system can be used as a back up Energy Supply in a home in m o say not cash only from imagine a detached house with 2 to 4 solar panels. It was, you know, you know, was a good position is that then has one or 2 generators. The households basic needs could be covered using wind energy even at night when youre only gone. Because unlike the sun, wind doesnt disappear at night. During the pandemic, the team had to economize due to a lack of money, but then a Game Changing order came in. The plan as of the neil muddle eco city in saudi arabia, want to use renewable energy. And co techs is large scale atlantis system is now going to be tested on the site youre on your for brandon them in their notion of surprisingly they have given us this wonderful opportunity to build units of up to 7 and 8 meters with today. Its a great opportunity for us to learn more about them and develop the technology mode. Im going up in middle theory. These turbines have an output of 3. 00 to 4. 00 kilowatts. Thats at least a 1000 times less than a conventional wind turbine. But the polls can be placed more flexibly till the last theres on day like was any place where the wind blows its suitable for wind Power Production and alida lacrosses, but we do see our place is being in urban areas rather than in the countryside. Where the big Wind Turbines are located about 100 once these turbines is shipped, vo, taxable, we focus on the tacoma units. The goal is to develop a win power plant that almost anyone can afford. The employee die time will tell and get the market will decide in the end. But we would like to offer a turbine 430350 or 400 euros for 15. It would then have an output of a 100 watts here, but if they go into production soon, the client vibrating Wind Turbines could be available to buy early next year. One thing, governments and regulators need to get louder about is green washing. The practice is prevalent according to one report in 42 percent of cases green claims or exaggerated deceptive or out right . False. Look no further than the food and beverage sector is how to hold Companies Accountable. You probably recognized at least some of these products they made by europe. Biggest food manufacturers these companies all seem really concerned about Plastic Waste. Theres a lot of plastic, pollution environment, and the uncomfortable truth is the some of it has got our name on it. 8000000 tons of Plastic Waste end up in the ocean. Each year. We are committed to enhancing the sustainability of our packaging and our business. We had them in this way. But many of these companies also consistently rank among the world worst plastics polluters. Because the solar, something new over the bay of a key drivers of our massive plastics. Problem of the 350000000 tons of Plastic Waste. The wall produced in 2019 only an estimate of 9 percent actually got recycled much more it gets released into the environment poisoning, ocean soil and even the air we breathe. So we wanted companies promised to cook the Plastic Waste. Do they actually deliver to the french . He giant unknown, for example, is best known for dairy products. But it is also one of the worlds biggest bottled Water Companies with brands, including a b on my zone and indonesian, back in 2009. The non promised t is 20 to 30 percent recycled p t plastic and its Water Bottles by 2011. But they failed. Youd never know it though by 2014. That on, on the website said this, the goal is to achieve a rate of 25 percent recycled p t by 2020. So the company just delayed, as promised by almost a decade. But globally done on water still used only 19. 80 percent recycle p t and 20242025. They now have yet an of a new goal and committed by 2025 to use 100 percent recycle beach. And for all our grants in europe and 50 percent after dragging its promises out for over a decade, dunham has at least made some progress. Other companies are even further away from their own commitments. Nationally only used 5 percent recycle p t in 2020 coca cola European Branch was 9 percent and italian ferrero who promised to get to 50 percent by 2025. Only stop releasing any such bottles in 2021. So what about the promises that werent shaped . Some of them are genuinely positive steps, but others seem more like marketing ploys than long term improvements. Like this campaign i belgium brewery. Im a bush in this Company Behind beers like american budweiser corona, and becks in 2017. They decided to tackle Ocean Plastic. They even got some famous actors on board. The collaboration with highlight, i think, is a very innovative and smart way to step toward cleaning up there. Oh, sure. Hold on. I believe one of the brands that is more connected to the Ocean Company proudly announced that it had over delivered on the commitment and had organized 214. 00 beach. But they were all just one time cleanups delivering no long term protection. It also sold some sunglasses, made from recycled Ocean Plastic and then declared the success. Been my colleagues. I made a whole video about the challenges of recycling Ocean Plastic and larissa cappello policy campaign on the n g o 0 in europe. Has this to say yes. So basically, no, i have an issue with that because this companies are doing this beach pretending up includes that they are now actually they are the ones there are putting all these packaging material, the waste and the beaches. Instead, the way the priority should be to reduce Plastic Waste at the source essentially need to close the pack. But when we looked at what companies actually promised, we found out of almost 100. 00 sledges, only 1. 00 and 5. 00 even aim to reduce the amount of plastic used in packaging. And most of those pledges are still in the future. It was far more popular to promise that packaging will be made recyclable. But even if packaging is recyclable, in theory, without infrastructure to collect and treated, it will not be recycled in practice never. So capella says instead materials might end up being incinerated, put in landfills or even worse, left to little, the environment, promising to use already recycled. Plastics like that on with Water Bottles is a much better way. But Companies Take the easy road there. Most of these are specifically about p e t. E t is used for bottles, but also for other packaging and even in textiles. Its also by far the easiest type of plastic to recycle. Over the past decade, more and more brands have launched bottles made sometimes entirely from recycle p t. But only 17 percent of all Plastic Packaging is made of p t. The remaining 83 percent a much harder to recycle plastics like polypropylene l d p or h d p, or a combination of many materials from those caps and wrap up from the beginning. Those are notoriously hard to recycle even if they are collected mostly on the downside fall into low grade products like cheap construction materials. Meaning that Companies Often highlight the easiest material to recycle, instead of mentioning the mountains of absolutely not respectful way they produce around the world. So where do we start the change . Some initiatives are trying to work on transparency 1st. For example, the element out the Foundation Companies consign up to the Global Commitment Program with their voluntary pleasures around Plastic Packaging. Foundation, then collect 6 commitments and trucks that Progress Companies are hiding behind the warranty commitments and not doing the changes that they would need to do. And sunday, she doesnt really have a stick, you know, they have their kara, what happens is companies lead, what happens is companies does not want to reveal the data. They dont keep them. So what needs to happen instead of this question, i would say that was really to change the behavior of any of the company in europe in legislation. The European Union has now recently followed suit and passed some vicious plastic legislation as well under the Single Use Plastics directive, disposable items such as plastic bag, country and straw, cannot be distributed within in new markets anymore. And the directive also includes targets for recycled plastics. By 2025 p. T bottles need to have at least 25 percent recycled content. And by 2030, this target will be raised to 30 percent. And change needs to happen. And in each step and fast global plastics, production is still growing and is forecast almost triple in the next few decades. In order to even slow this increase, the world needs much better recycling systems and strict regulations. The data shows that the voluntary commitments are not enough. Companies only change the tactics when pressured through legislation, public accountability, and consumer demand. And well check back in 2025 when companies have to deliver on the next set of plastics promises. Some of them will even be mandatory, at least within the e u. Well, from recycling to up cycling. An engineering student from bangalore has come up with a machine that can process 500 tons of plastic a day. The mountains of garbage from landfills can be turned into furniture and building material, awe, trash, as far as the i can see in rivers in vast landfill sites littered in the streets. This is bangalore, india, but its a worldwide problem. Growing populations mean that ever more waste is produced. Theres too much waste for garbage collection services. To cope with me, vader r m decided it was a problem. She could no longer ignore. He knows i live, i minister the house then duns, off, best buy it. But unfortunately, despite the rules and regulations like the ones you see the odd bit like rules and regulations and millions of dollars being spent dont create awareness. This is how the streets of my country offer that my dad any other developing country looks like when the veda r m, was still an engineering student, she developed technology to segregate waste into biodegradable and non biodegradable components and further technology to reuse them. The recycle meagre pipe if youre not able to recycle, then all this trash goes to the landfills. Thats a waste of land. In developing countries, theres a shortage of space and cities, even i think a waste is incinerated. It took us were 3 to 4 years of working in the landfills to develop our machine door. Art it separate us. 200 tons are dry and wet waste every day, meaning biodegradable food. And then the non biodegradable waste model of de la or took a new vader used her parents savings to found the business trashcan in bangalore. 2 years later she employs 50 people ah, co founder, so rap jane gave up his job was an Economic Advisor to go into business with ha, ah, william of eli bernie with us in that. And when i 1st met nevada at a dump siding, i saw a woman who was separating the plastic waist with her hands give machine me with a little log up. Now both in at that time Waste Pickers used to manually separate the waiter in logos that there was no machine available to me and greg dignified us. So we decided to develop a machine to help these people. Oh, so they no longer have to use their hands when handling waste the pay. Thank you. Its like all of me do. All the 1st customers were local authorities. That said the best thing about the brush go lose. Not been was rest here. Or there with the road, it becomes from a new or them of the bravest comes. It is, it is a girl and may as different from the jobs buzz, renters. Thats the basic principle. Sorting Plastic Waste from organic waste. This gets recycled into bio fuel that gets sold to farmers in the region. Meanwhile, the plastic is shredded sorted and recycled into furniture, shelving chairs and tables. We are focusing on so didnt applications that focuses on its strength. So this is a waterproof monday, 100 post in order to prove it, the starter might goof and best buy can be recycled again and again and again. The veda is visiting a school 2 hours outside. Bangalore thats benefited from her project. A foundation buys trash cons, recycled furniture and donate said to schools in rural areas by little help away with it in a did it. There were no benches and tables in the school. I mean, but so the students used to sit on the floor around good. Each entity about very contacted trashcan when a foundation gave us 35 benches and tables. Printers, disco Probate Court of you say above us. I mean, i used to sit on the floor in the classroom and always had a cold them the other day. But now we have benches and i dont get sick even in bad weather. Covered navators project has also taught the children about waste disposal, and theyve learned that their furniture is made from plastic that has been recycled. Trashcan has attracted International Attention and won a number of awards. The veda, r m, was even invited to the world. Economic forum endeavors is solid before day by the end of the year will have a 1000 tons more capacity will be establishing new plants in 5 states. Weve already exported our machines to the philippines filipinos way sport. Cordelia trashcan sells its machines in bangladesh, nipple, and the middle east. The young indian entrepreneur is helping solve the worlds waste problem one landfill at a time. Nice to have your company for another addition of made i been fizzle and see you again, sir. Ah ah ah ah, with who my power is, my wars says journalist, i teach your genius. It has been for years since the murder of her fiance, jamal shogi to this day the crime has had no political fallout.
