government. poor nations continue to cling to fossil fuels, bought what all compensation for more and more natural catastrophes resulting from decades of pollution. from mainly richer economies. they refuse to stick to their pledges of financial late and aunt transitioning fast enough to renewables. and as the whole world keeps popping 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 earth's crust. is that the answer? what about and you design for wind turbine, it's 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 dw business weekly made. i'm been fizzling. the planet is heating up. 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 glazes and melting away. who knows what unlocked diseases, the optics permafrost will release. global warming is already destroying the serenity that some of us here on planet earth enjoy. it's killing people and many more lives are at risk. is this, nature's rat could rising temperatures, put satellites on a faster orbit interrupting the beam of radio signals. we need to communicate within our mobile networks. climate change is 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, there's so much we could change that would make business sense and create a greener, healthy awoke. is locking those greenhouse gases underground. the way to go, he is the w's 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. so 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 we're 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 sea by a 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 ninety's 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 today's 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 of the business means handling large 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 in 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 step. once carbon death is a place, it will be 0. that's our promise. once the program is up and running, the seo tool be captured, liquified, and stored and 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. shock told us there will be also, i think, very strongly the need. and also the demand for become an iceberg. so will it happen in all parts of the world at the same time? no. but europe passed the unique opportunity now to be the front runner and to go through this energy transition. that's a was 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 back. 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. there's a lot of natural barriers under ground that keep it from coming back up again. then over time, nature sort of takes over and will eventually dissolve all that c o 2 and it will form minerals and in these processes can take and decades in 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 cs is going to depend on state subsidies, it's never going to take the scale. it's never going to have the impact that it needs to have. we need to inject tens of millions of toms, not only no delight spent as an industry, and for that it needs to be commercially based. storing carbon underneath the sea could help slow down global warming, but to really have an impact. it has to be done fast. now they're 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 don't want them in their back yards for opponents to the why giants keep watching because there is an alternative . it works on good vibrations. this is a wind turbine, 2 and a half meters tall and almost silent. it was developed by the spaniards devotee on . yes. he applied for a patent was still a student. but it wasn't until 9 years ago that things at his company vortex really took off. and it all began in this cellar in avila delaware road. we haven't for la, we met on fridays after work completed. we pushed some tables together. a lot about 90 fans have completed them together and built something like a wind tunnel as equal governance w. then we put our 1st prototype in there would be a water bottle on a sticker, you will not be much good. that's when we saw that it created a physical phenomenon when it was done. and surprisingly what the books said was true. when in roughly roasted i built up 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. after the water bottle, ayana's in his heart has developed their 1st real prototype, which was already generating some electricity. went the media in the middle is the generator. and i've been over a month ago. that's the part that allows us to convert motion into electricity. though in the that's it is a thought that a slim round structures went very simple, no gears, no bearings and 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 if you search the internet for wind turbines without blades, you won't find anything. again, there were no examples for us to learn from 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 a house. for the yesterday, for chemical moon up, the system can be used as a back up energy supply in a home. m o say not cash only for imagine a detached house with 2 to 4 solar panels. it was, you know, you know, the 2nd position is that that has one or 2 generators. the households basic needs could be covered using wind energy even at night when you're only gone. because unlike the sun wind doesn't 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. andrew tex is large scale atlantis system is now going to be tested on the site your 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. it's a great opportunity for us to learn more about it and develop the technology mode. i'm going up there, middle theory. these turbines have an output of $3.00 to $4.00 kilowatts. that's at least a 1000 times less than a conventional wind turbine. but the polls can be placed more flexibly till the last there's one day liquid, any place where the wind blows it's suitable for wind power production and alida lacrosse's, 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 any one can afford employed. either time will tell again, the market will decide in the end, but we would like to offer a turbine 430350 or $400.00 euros in it. 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 reported 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's biggest food manufacturers. these companies all seem really concerned about plastic waste. there's 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 wars to plastics, polluters, because something new over the bay of a key drivers of our massive plastics. problem of the 350000000 tons of plastic waste the world 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 wondered when companies promised to cut that 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 world's 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 it's water bottles by 2011. but they failed. you'd never know it though by 2014. that on our 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 use only 19.80 percent recycle p t and 20242025. they now have yet an of a new goal. and we committed by 2025 to your 100 percent recycle beach and for all around 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 starter releasing any such bottles in 2021. so what about the promises that weren't shaped? some of them are genuinely positive steps, but others seem more like marketing ploys than long term improvements. like this campaign, belgium brewery. i'm a bush in this company behind beers like american budweiser corona, and beck's 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 should have been invited and smart way to pack a 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 colleague. i made a whole video about the challenges of recycling ocean plastic and larissa cappello policy campaign up on the n g o 0 waste. europe has this to say, yes, so basically, no, i have an issue with that because this companies are doing this beach pretending to do up includes that they are now actually they are the ones they're are putting all of these packaging material, the waste at the beaches and said 0, i says the priority should be to reduce plastic waste at the source. essentially, i need to close the pack. but when we looked at what companies actually promised, we found out of almost $100.00 stretches, 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 promised that packaging would be made recyclable. but even if packaging is recyclable, in theory, without infrastructure to collect and treated, it will not be recycling practice leverage. 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 t t is used for bottles, but also for other packaging and even in textiles. it's 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 are much harder to recycle plastics like polypropylene, l e p e, or h d p, or a combination of many materials from the cops and robbers from the beginning. those are notoriously hard to recycle even if they are collected mostly on the down cycle into low re products like cheap construction material. meaning that companies often highlight the easiest material to recycle, instead of mentioning the mountains of absolutely not recyclable lace, 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 pledges around plastic packaging. foundation, then collect 6 commitments and trucks that progress companies are hiding behind the commitments and not doing the changes that they would need to do. and i'm regards to sunday, she doesn't really have a stick, you know, they have their parents. what happens is company lead. what happens is the company does not want to reveal the data, they don't keep them. so what needs to happen instead? good question. i would say that was really to change the behavior of the company in europe in legislation. the european union has now recently followed suit and passed some dishes plastic legislation as well under the single use plastics. directive disposable items such as plastic bags, category, and straws, cannot be distributed within in new markets anymore. and the directive also includes targets for recycle 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 forecast almost triple in the next few decades. in order to even slowly 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 we'll 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 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 ah trash. as far as the i can see in rivers in vast landfill sites listed in the streets. this is bangalore, india, but it's a worldwide problem. growing populations mean that ever more waste is produced. there's 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 live in the house, then duns off, best buy it. but unfortunately, despite the rules and regulations like the ones you'll see, the od ms. white rules and regulations and millions of dollars being spent don't 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 you're not able to recycle, then all this trash goes to the landfills. that's a waste of land. in developing countries, there's 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, go your mom fairly bernie with us him and other than when i 1st met nevada at a dump site. i saw a woman who was separating the plastic waist with her hands. give machine me with the vehicle, look up now the thing at that time waste pickers used to manually separate the waiter in local is 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 them. pay. thank you . it's like, okay, well the 1st customers were local authorities that said the best thing about the brush go lose not been was rest here. or there were the road. it becomes from a new order. one of the bravest comes. it is, it is a girl and may, has different from the jobs. best renters. that's 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 didn't applications that focuses on its strength. so this is a water proof modeling 100 plus in order to prove it, the standard weight goof and best buy can be recycled again and again and again. the veda is visiting a school to hours outside. bangalore that's benefited from her project. a foundation buys trash cons, recycled furniture and donate said to schools in rural areas by little hamburger 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 contact a trashcan and a foundation gave us 35 benches and tables by dismissal. probably kind of you say about 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 don't get sick even in bad weather. covered navators project has also taught the children about waste disposal . and they've learned that their furniture is made from plastic that has been recycled. trashcan has attracted international attention and won a number of awards. evey to r. m was even invited to the world. economic forum in davos is saudi before day. by the end of the year, we'll have a 1000 tons more capacity will be establishing new plants in 5 states. we've already exported our machines to the philippines, philippines, quick sport cordelia. trashcan sells its machines in bangladesh, nepal and the middle east. the young indian entrepreneur is helping solve the world's waste problem one landfill at a time. nice to have your company for another edition of mate, i've been presuming. see you again say a a with a, with sebastian. russia has suffered key reversals on the battlefield. that's curious. horses sort of counter attacked and sees back a wide sway
