A gas deposit that contains another 30 years supply of the fossil fuel in between a several layers of dense shale rock base of an alternation. Look at that above the coal bed in there somewhere. You think . Because of the Gas Production from a straw field, the pressure is fully in this more shallow. So of course, that means even if there should be a little bit of the occasional c o 2 from this one, it cannot escape from the under pressure in the overlying sense that so far everything has been going well with the storage of c o 2. In norway at the slightly gas drilling platform, more than 1000000. 00 tons of c o 2 have been pumped back underground every year for 25 years. The Northern Lights project aims to start with 1500000. 00 tonnes per year. If you look at the sheer magnitude of the problem globally, there is a need for sense of facilities. And were talking hundreds of millions of tons per year that needs to be handled. Carbon capture and storage chill c. C. s. Its also been researched in germany, a 2017 experiment was a success. The c o 2 remained in the ground under kit, steam in eastern germany, but it raised fears of earthquakes and escaping gases. Since then, the storage of c o 2 has been politically dead in germany. Even the search is essentially for him put it into into the scene where i was also deeply involved in the Safety Council did it. I would have gladly built the Storage Facility at any time without any word or to get us all very proud of being worried. If i put it in the wrong place in the wrong way with the wrong partner, he saw liquor functioning. Its clear that countries like germany that emit a lot of c o 2 also have to take responsibility for it. He says c. C. s is indispensable, is get upset. So many of us feel there are estimates that in europe we have enough Storage Space for 1000 years for a c o 2 emissions. Woman. At the moment we have c. C. s as a good alternative. If someone has a better one in 30 years, all the better. But right now we have to improve the technology so that its safe and is also controlled safely houses. Hans houstons top priority, when it comes to climate protection is to return the bugs to their natural state and thus stop their c o 2 emissions. When theyre taken its region, they are stuck on the eastern german coast. Hes researching how i really whetted bulk can become a c o 2 store. Again, in the long term say bob was drained over the centuries. This allowed oxygen to penetrate the bugs oil and break it down. That released a lot of carbon. It was really flooded 20 years ago. Jury in the period it was without water. It was a system in decline. Weve calculated that. We lost 2. 7 meters of peat at this location over the last few decades. And now were looking to see whether we can not only stop these processes, but also turn them around in order to get new peat formation. Acquire water levels to the scale of the problem is vast. Half of northern germany has been drained to grow potatoes or corn or to graze animals. A check ted then emits as much c o 2 in a single year. 29 tons as a car does in a typical lifespan of 200000 kilometers. In hankow, seen in the northwest landscape ecologist is investigating what happens when a drained cold is flooded. Again, he discovered that at 1st it produces methane, another very dangerous greenhouse gas. Through a few years the methane emissions decrease and then the ball begins to store c o 2 over the long term just extrapolated that for all areas that are currently drained globally. And you can see very clearly that the faster we return water to the bogs, the better it is for the climate drain to make up 7 percent of arab will land in gemini. Is it even possible to turn back time . If we take climate protection seriously, we have no alternative to it. Dusty when you understand that agriculture on the bogs in germany, causes annual climate damage of 7400000000. 00 euros corresponds exactly to the total added value of the whole of agriculture. Then you have to ask yourself, what are we doing here and why is it as an activity that causes 789000. 00 euros damage per hectare is allowed and even subsidized . Because of course, these Greenhouse Gases that are emitted must be compensated for somewhere else. Somebody else has to pay for it. It wont be easy to restructure agriculture and convince farmers to turn huge areas of farm land into wet bugs again. If we follow the norwegians plan for dealing with c o 2, europe will soon have lots of facilities like the claymates rude waste to energy pound. He is c. E. O. To risk filtered from the flu gases. This could serve as a model for other Industry Sectors that have not yet been able to make their production Carbon Neutral again, it could be a cuz initiated the c. C. S. Project at the waste to energy plant in 2014, im proud that i believe that its meaningful to work with this because this could actually make a difference, and this is something we need to do in order to basically save, save this world. The accustoms to prove that its possible to remove c o 2 from industrial emissions. The waste to energy plant releases 400000 tons of c o 2 every year. The small pilot plant can only collect 1000 tons of it per year. But that shows that it can work all it comes to the capture rates. The technology has proven to be extremely effective. You and you have managed to capture more than 95 percent of the c o 2 from the pilot plant. When it comes to the energy use, its quite an idjit demanding i that usually makes capturing c o 2, very expensive, but thats not a, im here in the waste to energy plant. Theres an abundance of waste heat here. And the big challenge is to make capturing c o 2, economical it sharing the flue. Gases is only 5 to 10 percent. Its important to find the right chemicals that combined and in rich the c o 2. They are then removed with heat and used again was able to get its quite costly today because if we are at the very beginning of the developments, there are only a few plants today. And none of them are actually on in industrial sources. The biggest challenge is that today the economy is not favoring handling of c o 2. It is a more attractive business once simply to the c o 2, the high price, the c o 2. 00 could make Carbon Capture and storage increasingly attractive. Since around half of the waste in this waste to energy plant consists of biomass, c, o 2 is even in directly extracted from the and because when this biomass grows, it absorbs c o 2. If this is trapped during incineration and bunkered away, it reduces the concentration of Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere. Weve got c o 2 negative, and we know that we need to develop c o 2 negative solutions in order to reach the paris agreement. So waste to energy, the waste Energy Business can be very important in the matter. So this is what the future of getting c o 2 out of the atmosphere could look like. Houston is in his favorite place, the calendar off meadows. Here you can see how pete then screw in their natural what state they dont really see. 02, but instead absorb it. And yet they can still be used for agriculture by growing reads, a lot can be made out of these rains roofs. Plastics, bio gas to rehoboth shoes are by reeds are an example of a plant that can be harvested sustainably without damaging the gulf war. There are already many ideas about what can be cultivated in bugs in hand. Housing, in western germany, knowledge, areas of mosques are being cultivated for the 1st time on the regretted blog. After all, most is that the natural vegetation on people oaks can they be grown and harvested like any other fields crop. The search for the best most is for agricultural cultivation is underway on the edge of the trial area. And here, paga and her team grow muscles from all over the world here they aim to find the ones that grow as well and just quickly as possible in this way. They also absorb c o 2 and turn the bugs into sinks with Greenhouse Gases. However, it will take more for most is to become a profitable product. So how long is a direct payments to support and subsidies for farmers are not yet established. Its almost everyone why dear. But we can show here on the demonstration farm and this is actually feasible, was much as well as what we can harvest into a large scale implementation really depends on political will on further Technological Development of and on finding the supermarkets and most for want as a replacement for white pete, pete was once made from us and horticulture needs. Huge amounts of it. So much that germanys trained dogs are not enough. And most of the peaches imported from the baltic states. In about 15 you is the german petes will be completely exploited. Then an alternative will have to be found, most is as a piece substitute would be a double benefit for the climate, no more emissions from peta extraction, and the most is buying c o 2 from the end. All methods of binding c o 2 must be researched without prejudice. Time is running out for smartphones in the dark, dark mode is meant to protect our lives, preserve our batteries, and help us sleep better. But researchers arent convinced you can draw the most really do tomorrow to do it. Next is it im arrives now its fantasy asia this is traditional display of horsemanship is part of my roccos cultural heritage.
