Are held every year with representatives from most countries this week lets dive deeper to examine the impact they have youre watching eco india and im somewhat of a coming to you from mumbai the Indian Government has signed the paris climate agreement and plans to change its energy mix 50 Percent Renewable Energy by 2022 is the and solar power plays a big role in achieving this. Dani hamlet of one was is barely 100 kilometers away from indias Business Capital mumbai but on be just a few years ago it had no concept of electricity. Its residents relied on farm is their main source of food like an image. Things changed for one wasi in the summer of 2016. So let us know where their loved ones now there is light everywhere and this village we could have never imagined this. In the nearby villages the government supplies but it comes and goes. That here is we have access to electricity thank you for saving. Money so that you have this is quite unbelievable but it always does anybody want a light on a 2nd these i mean its out. Today one of aussies able to address the daily energy needs of its 265 residents with an uninterrupted supply power generated through its ready solar microgrid. Wishing to ensure visits a smooth operation to its daily mundane and also troubleshooting. So that they know they were. On it and we were not sure if this sort of thing in the past a lot of cities have made last a long time but once they left home none of them were. About me that got up guys and. Owing to its extremely small population when wasi does not fit into the governments calculations of what constitutes a really good. And instead it is of together with discounted gloucester for the hamlets in the district of maharashtra. This means that despite the Indian Governments ambitious 100 person Electrification Programme electricity through the not. Baba grid has never properly reached such remote communities. To close this gap some united go founded. In 2008 in these kind of it is a problem is the cost of taking the grid to these areas for a small load and this is a small number of households it becomes a bit of a challenge there are a large number of such hamlets and electrified while official figures suggest india is inching closer to 100 percent household electrification the challenge to bring clean and affordability extremely remote households remains largely an address the social enterprise droids access to a crispy through Renewable Energy models. Only if they want to actually install this but i think having seen it and im willing to put their initial money willing to you know create a bank account village electrification coming to get an energy from the local. Only then will be coming to the solar power as a storage in the battery bank while overhead transmission lines make sure that electricity is brought to every household. The total cost of this installation was 3000000. 00 rupees or 37000 years. At the ground who just has successfully set up solar microgrid in 65 remote religious. These decentralized micro grids unknown and own and operated by local communities with each household being judged according to usage. 3 can hes part of one was the stan member village and as you can miti it and shows that the grid runs effectively and is responsible for invoicing the house rules. In the last week of every month our committee holds on to. The status of a sailor jacket as sometimes a customer is unable to. Allow them to attend within the next month but if its still on paid after. We will demand the money and tell them if they dont we have to supply the housing bill. But this is not how im doing today. Apart from electrifying households the microgrid also didnt respond to a long running with. The old. The solar power has had a lot of didnt stress for them an open boss. Me to do it by now and i had. To very much want to be had to walk all the way to the red barn and getting that no one was taking care of the kids but at that it took us a lot of time getting a little bit off and i didnt have time to even make food anymore. But again i had a chronic. Not public bum supplies water that were dying to have. A bad life that. When there was no electricity the conduct of them like a father how to speak that me but now we can socking only in my mind i got them before sometimes a little bit and then he. Came i used to part us with my like those accounts you know every month which was very expensive and he said what if wed had electricity or needles my phone would have been there for you to push all of us were. The microgrid has made a substantial change to life in benghazi as the new power and light bring in many for new opportunities for its residents young and though. It would be safe to see that there are many many problems to sort of when it comes to Climate Change india could biggest economy for example is grew not as fast as the last decade but it is growing rapidly and this means the country needs a lot of fuel and that you. India is one of the. Energy consumers in the world and its Energy Demand is only likely to spiral the country has been drawing comfortable attention towards how it is going to increase Energy Access while maintaining its commitment made of the past Climate Summit towards reducing emissions from the perspective of primary energy mix of the country you will see that though energy scene of the country is predominantly dominated by cool and then the emerging star in the you know the scene as opposed the new it is making major disruptions in the Energy Ecosystem of our country renewable at the moment so when you combine hydro power its big some of its contribution is back to the field of somewhere around 7 percent. In keeping with its commitment india has set itself a target of increasing its Power Generation capacity through renewables up to 40 percent by 2030 investments of 300000000000 euros will be needed over the next decade. While there are concerns over the country being able to meet its targets the government of india has declared assurances of being on track. Currently wind energy has the largest share of installed capacity within the Renewable Energy mix however the coming years will see some considerable strides in the Solar Energy Sector but the Transition Towards Clean Energy does not inevitably suggest a simultaneous phasing out of the countrys dependence on fossil fuels. Now its very difficult for you know the government or even for the privately or through kind of shared very dependence on fossil fuels in that regard what we have to do is we have to take a very graduated approach wherein we bring renewables. You know more. Our. You know mano where you know your economic. Expectations. But at the same time you are not. Today india is producing the worlds cheapest solar power since 2010 set of course fell by 80 percent the most prestigious decline of any country but continuing to meet the Rising Energy hunger of the population. Investment. We can all agree that fossil fuel based energy is one of the biggest causes of Climate Change but is Renewable Energy really a feasible alternative is one of the most common questions that comes up what if there isnt enough sun on a particular day the wind isnt Strong Enough a community in the south of germany didnt just ask these questions they tested it out hands up with success. This is the night train from berlin to the far south of germany its going to be a 12 hour journey to create a village in the foothills of the outskirts famous for pioneering the transition to green energy. None of its energy comes from fossil fuels all of it comes from renewables. We dont need to take any energy from fossil sources on the ground plenty is given to us every day we just have to make use of it. Produces 8 times as much electricity as its 2600 residents can use all that electricity isnt produced in one big plant paternity centralized fashion and is then made available to others. The grid. Delegations from the places around the world marked by flags have come to inspect this revolutionary village. But usually welcomes by an outside gala hes been married for 23 years and has been involved in the shift to renewables from the start. We are known to mine in 1909 we asked everybody here how things should be and 2021 wind energy was just one of the many different issues 92 percent said they were in favor which was a sensational result. People here are very proud of whats been developed in basically theyve done it themselves. We can quote. Become thinking and thinking of. The villagers have invested 50000000 euros over the past 2 decades 300 photovoltaics systems 9 Wind Turbines as well as several hydroelectric and combined heat and power plants. We want to show that it is possible to create a regional circular economy for Energy Production and energy use this. Of course it has to make economic sense so if it is a profit and we save money and were doing something positive for the environment thats doubly good. But i dont know if thats not really stop and go. Another father of the green revolution of whole street is vandal and im see. Hes a farmer who started experimenting with Renewable Energy in the 1990 s. He soon won over his fellow villagers and set up a wind farm cooperative. Anyone who lives in the community where a windmill is located can invest the more people join the lower the amount each may invest its currently 5000 euros and no more any higher amount and we have too much money everybody keeps asking when are we going to build another wind turbine. I know has set up for bio gas plants on his farm they now heat the entire village. He designed some of the components himself the Energy Sources are all local animal waste and grass style age from 20 nearby farms. They replace 700000 liters of heating oil here. Says Generating Energy from biomass alone point be enough to complete the transition to renewables at the National Level sun wind and hydro power are also needed. With their mix and with the right mix it wont be hard to attain 100 Percent Renewables many people dont believe that but its true the amount of clean energy we produce in a village politics lead could also be generated in other communities districts and states. Are going to be the number one cause of grip on the. Energy generation is one key factor to others are Energy Storage and developing an intelligent grid so power can be moved to where its needed. Energy reservoirs and needed for days when the wind drops or the sun doesnt shine. Or when demand is higher than usual. Theres no known company and addresses both these issues it makes lithium ion phosphate batteries which in combination with solar panels enables households to become largely energy independent. It also manages an electricity sharing system it costs so on and community. For the 4th or tissue but they say its cloudy here but the sun is shining in hamburg. And our customers in hamburg have energy in abundance. That batteries are fully charged and they feed the excess into the grid. Can then be used by our customers here theyre linked via our zone and community that was the 1st step the 2nd was to approach the great operators and offer to help them stabilize the grid its not stuff youd survive. Private power sharing could perhaps one day make the large Utility Companies and the huge power plants redundant. Hundreds of thousands of communities what the way if it puts paid and set up Autonomous Energy generation and sharing systems. One small village in bavaria could inspire other people across germany and in other countries. The global temperature rise needs to be limited to 1. 00 to 2. 00 big at a maximum thats what was agreed in the paris climate agreement in 2016 but countries around the globe how much has happened since then lets take a closer look at the status report. Which countries are doing the most to protect the climate and whos not pulling their weight the Analyst NetworkClimate Action tracker has compiled a ranking. The only countries on course to meet the 1. 00 degree celsius limit the goal of the Paris Agreement are gambia america. In 2018 morocco completed one of the worlds biggest solar power plants. The north african country plans to produce over 40 percent of its energy from renewables. If everyone followed in his example Global Warming could it. Least beheld to 2 degrees its massive Tree Planting programs are having a positive effect india has committed itself to ensuring that over one 3rd of its areas forested to help absorb c o 2. Custer reka is also in the 2 degree club the small Central American country aims to be climate neutral by 2021 part of that drive involves cutting emissions of the Greenhouse Gas nurturers oxide from its coffee bean production fertilizers are responsible for most of those emissions. The country hopes to cut their use by training farmers to use the chemicals more efficiently. And. If the whole world behaved like the e. U. Temperatures would rise by 3 degrees the German Government is now planning to introduce Carbon Pricing on Gasoline Heating Oil and gas. But critics say a price of 10. 00 euros per tonne is far too low and they say that across the e. U. The switch from coal to renewable should be happening a lot faster. If every country followed in chinas footsteps wed be looking at a 4 degree increase china is also the earths biggest Greenhouse Gas emitter responsible for about a 3rd of all emissions despite a shift to solar power chinas economy remains heavily dependent on coal. And according to Climate Action tracker Global Warming would exceed 4 degrees if everyone were to follow the example of the u. S. It has announced that its pulling out of the paris climate treaty though many u. S. Cities and states are keen to do their bit to fight the climate crisis. But all in all the effort to curb Global Warming has to happen on a global level. Scientists see goal being the worlds huge and increasing appetite for it is essential to avoid the devastating effects of Climate Change but is it an option to hope that we could just stop Meat Consumption worldwide are there sustainable alternatives in place in barcelona in spain a high. Innovation we found a startup developing a substitute for meat produced by a 3 d. Printer. Varies a way off for managing the resources upon a planet which is unsustainable. There is big changes when the Food Industry is impacted very much so for example its china as a need the positive ones more Meat Consumption and we want to provide even their governments up but china and india we dont theyre not thieves for their population. To engineer just zappy shante wants to spark a food revolution with plant based protein and a 3 d. Printer. To start up nova meters working on technology to replicate the Sensory Properties of meat. And in this process create special microbial amends and this microfilm is try to mimic henri sam but what is actually in moscows in story for the chickens. The tissue a phenomena is very complex is created in a years very organized way in your article but in our case with mozilla simplification we found that. But theirs was able to order these micro fibers as if they were muscular fibers and when the technologies radio and when the scale is ready we will provide a proper food that has the tech sure that periods that taste itself and is better for about. One sort of writes the code for the program and its just designed his 1st steak well designed it is quite easy in our head we have to make it real which is the hard part so created sure the structure. Is quite easy but the pretty one is its pretty hard. So why go to all the trouble when we think about the way we are producing. It that its quite complex know how we have to go of the crop that will feed the car window then the car out how we have to manage to convert the protein from the crop so the cow thats for me thats complex. Thats not that complex because we are taking Natural Ingredients we are taking our property from visitor birds. We are just combining the right ones and putting that together with the printer. The printer uses a powder mix from bryson petes which require a fraction of the water needed to produce speech and this we can state as without all the lent and the added costs of raising and slaughtering livestock which will serve if everyone in the world starts eating meat regularly. Its not real meat but its designed to taste just like it. Ultimately affordability will be the key to its success once you really have a different start ups or Different Companies bringing this to a supermarket you will lead a price which will go lower than actually. Still there are the energy costs to think about. We use talking at Room Temperature now weve got much pressure we dont control and the unit youre seeing the machine is quite simple and we believe could be more efficient or so in terms of energy costs chilled me
