Than a 1000 people have marched through the eastern german city of leipzig, demonstrating both for and against coronavirus restrictions. Protesters were led away after they exceeded the maximum number allowed. The German Government has new powers to enforce rules on mosques and social distancing. U. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o has met with taliban leaders in cata, in an effort to resume to resume stalled peace talks between the militant group and the afghan government. The meeting came just hours after a series of blasts in kabul, killed several people. The socalled Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks. This is d. W. News from berlin. Theres more on our web site, t w dot com. The oil company a clean nor is doing something extraordinary on the sly clay gas platform in the north sea. It pumps millions of tons of Carbon Dioxide on the seabed. The Greenhouse Gas that threatens to warm the planet is simply bunkered away, and ecuador has plans to sequester even more Carbon Dioxide just toward potential in the north sea is large enough to handle substantial part of that conflict. Can that work . Will ships with c o 2, soon be going to norway to sink our climate problem under the north sea . The technologies exist, but do they really advance climate protection . Or are we just buying time . According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we can only emit a maximum of around 300. 00, inserting a 1000000000 tons of c o 2. If the rising global temperature is to stay below 1. 00 degrees celsius, were currently releasing around 42000000000 tonnes a year. If we carry on as before, the c o 2 budget would be used up in around 8 years by 2028 steps like closing coal fired power plants, expanding the use of Renewable Energies and switching to electric cars will cause c o 2 emissions to decrease. The more ambitious we are, the more they go down. But keeping the increase below 330000000000 tons seems a hopeless cause and it means theyll be more c o 2. That has to be removed from the air. You dont need reforestation. Youre missing. We have to think about how to deal with our bombs, but that wont be an office. Youll always high. Lots of india. Yeah. Even if we cut our c o 2 emissions and half every decade, it will still have to remove several 100000000 tons of c o 2 from the atmosphere by the end of this century. By most so we have to ask ourselves, are we going to put it on doneness once hardboard in norway has a lot of experience removing and storing c o 2 that clean or extracts natural gas on the peninsula. Anyhow, must test the northernmost city in europe and to their son, jake is in charge of the plant. Hes proud that away has been found here to get rid of c o 2, but also to deliver an immense amount of fossil energy to europe. In the summer i am its a lot of work and im sure and im sure for all of us 65. 00 times for a whole year and thats about 1. 2. So its only as a c o 2 is always a byproduct of natural gas extraction. But the crucial thing here is that it flows back under the north sea. The system is controlled remotely from the command center. Theres no offshore platform. One pipeline brings natural gas to the plant, while another carries c o 2, back to the sea. In this gas stream, coming in about 6 percent of the content is c o 2. This is quite unique about this because we remove the seal through the dryer than compress it, push it back to a separate dresser or off shore. For permanent storage, almost a year at the store per month plan in us offshore, around 43 kilometers. So the state owned company that made norway, one of the richest countries on earth, would like to benefit from this experience a clean or is in the process of establishing a new business model. It calls the project Northern Lights. As early as 2023, the 1st ships will bring c o 2 from European Industry to norway. A new pipeline descends steeply from the coast, then runs 110 kilometers along the sea floor to a point where the Greenhouse Gases are injected. 2500 meters deep into the north sea. Sediment is responsible for the new field of business. Its his job to lead the company into the future. Norway, its seen as an opportunity to actually continue to use status forces in the north sea. Not person in the deeper why there isis storage for why theyre for industrial c o 2. Construction of the pumps has started, and the 1st test drilling has been done. The gigantic Northern Lights project is meant to pave the way for the large scale storage of c o 2. Its initial goal is to free europes industries from Greenhouse Gases. If we succeed and we have the opportunity to actually help clean up quite a few of the industries that have no other option. And we will allow these industries actually to, to stay here in europe. Its hard to see a bird without seeing. Its hard to see a future without cement. They are essential and they need to do to arm myself. Well. Even if Steel Production switches to Renewable Energy sources, there will always be an amount of c o 2 left over from the manufacturing process. Looking at german industry as a whole, this remaining c o 2 accounts for around 7 percent of c o 2 emissions. If europe hysteria about climate protection, these emissions must also be stopped. But is it realistic that freighters will bring c o 2 from germany to norway . Today there are only 4 ships, like the froyo worldwide told me. Pedersen is responsible for loading the tanker. In the norwegian, port of porsche gone it takes on c. Otu that was released during the production of fertilizes talent. Out of the gas is delivered to the Food Industry which uses it in beer and fizzy drinks, for example, or for cooling. Today ca too is a commodity in small quantities for after the gas is being cooled and compressed, the front to transport sits in liquid form. The tank holds 1500. 00 tons of c o 2. Assuming that all of the Carbon Dioxide produced by german industry would be transported by ships like the foyer, around 100. 00, of these tankers would have to travel from germany to norway every day. But thats not a problem for the specialist in syria. It will be just a cost calculation, more home size of the ship from lets say so im sure that if the technology there were just the right size of the ship. So shipping c o 2 to norway is plausible. But with those millions of tons of Greenhouse Gases released a perch on the ocean floor. This is the key in eastern germany and professor ham. See austin has many objections to the idea of sinking our Greenhouse Gases using technical processes. He believes our priority should be to restore natural c o 2 stores, such as books. We have to get away from the illusion that we can do business as usual and develop a technology that compensates for a while seen euston is dutch. Hes researched folks all over the world, works on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and is known as the pete pope. Here used in tries to understand the origin and development of bugs in the meta sick layers of pete. These are actually my favorite people to taste the shrek and these water pete mosses. They taste very fine, often sulfurous sulfide like the mission. And of course, we have to use all of our senses to better understand nature, you know, to we always think that we need a lot of devices to measure things. But we shouldnt forget, as we can do an incredible amount with our eyes and ears. Our noses and our mouths is really forgotten. There are hardly any places like this left in germany. 99 percent of bugs have been drained and thus destroying. This is made them climate killers because all the pete that a bug like this store says is then gradually released into the atmosphere. Part of course, thats pure stored carbon. Half of this plant matter consists of carbon and thats stored away. Then grows up layer by layer with us in the order of half a millimeter to one millimeter per year. Over thousands of years. These layers are metres, think me and contain a great deal of carbon. Thats pure climate protection, which this only applies to intact, since almost all bugs in germany have been drained, they give off a lot of Greenhouse Gases, almost 6 percent of total emissions, more than add traffic. And to that, we calculated that if we restore water to drain bogs, we will be able to compensate for even more than the warming caused by c o 2 emissions since the Industrial Revolution in this trailer for the short list. So bokhari were seeing is a very important step along with creating cooling systems for a world thats getting warmer anyway. That would be desirable. But how would it be possible to restore boggs to their natural state in an industrialized country like germany, the largest oil and gas deposits in the north sea, off the coast of starve, and i in no way the plans would mean pumping would continue here. But in the opposite direction, after those deposits are eventually exhausted. But with the c o 2 from European Industry really stay underground or will it become a time bomb . I think you can move huge example that oil and gas is in the ground and it stays there until we try to take it out. And what were doing essentially is the reverse. Were replacing c o 2 in the ground. The headquarters of the Norwegian Petroleum directorate is also here and stuff and it makes decisions on the resources on the north sea issues drilling licenses and inspects rock formations free. Just as a geologist who has long been searching in the drill core archives for the optimum sediment into which the 1st industrial Carbon Dioxide will be injected. You we have been looking at possible Storage Options for many years. I think i started with this in 2006 and one of the 1st just from what i was, i was information because its it is good that were looking at what we cant touch it or feel it and feel it. And with a lot of poor space between the grains under the north sea, the pools of the sandstone are filled with water. Most of the injected c o 2 dissolves in it, turning it into sparkling water. The bigger the poor, the easier the gas can spread. Well, with your own, just blowing it and see if it can and you can get some air through it. And this is quite good. No, i dont need to too much force on my blow to get the answer. The johansson formation, which is intended to absorb the c o 2 lines below the troll field, a gas deposit that contains another 30 years supply of the fossil fuel
