Introducing electric scooters to the polluted city how a german city was soo stupid to use jewel pummel energy to heat up their homes and offices and how the involvement can be conscious in the philippines pushing to switch to solar power cost lets talk about the city you forgot that for me it comes close to my home city of mumbai its crowded and its intimate but just like mumbai the problems of traffic and for you should entre very flattering. Dont have a massive 319 cars fuck it all to one local company is working towards slowly changing this by introducing small electric school to us that we never need on diesel. The bright yellow taxis and don van crimes are dead you are in called no no university and. The city of joy. But the city also faces major difficulties like lack of public transport and traffic pollution. Electric scooters could help reduce the burden of air pollution especially if. We did some research and found out that only 15 percent of india actually has a drivers license so the vast majority of indians didnt have a license and that was the market that we wanted to tap we did a little bit more research and found out that electric scooters whether speed is capped at 25 kilometers or not doesnt require a license to write and that was the aha moment and thats when we decided that we want to stop this company. G 2 not founded his rental a Scooter Service in kolkata over 2 years ago with 60 scooters no he runs a fee to 55. The rental service. Clients can pick up and drop off the scooters accept different points across concord on average a scooter is used by 3 to 4 right as a day. All of us who does have trouble believing mind batteries so a time battery is green or about to be green customers can go to any of the points and swap out the battery fee if a customer has any problem middle of the road we have roadside assistance and even out there the way can be swapped any problem is about to be filed. Is perhaps one of the. Clients have worked except to different corners of the city. Taking a cab to the business hub of our and back use to calls between pretty 1400. 00 rupees to 5 years when she rents intellect could for 45. 00 rupees or less than 0. 60 per hour she can hop cost on with a fully charged battery she can go up to 60 kilometers. This quarter im not only spending less money i also end up saving time. I did was act on but i have several things to do in a day i read that by for the full day or on an hourly basis i invariably end up spending less than if i had to take a bus a cab or the tram. Was is that come what they see me. Corporate customers like this food delivered get even better ate a strategy which it is hoped will also raise the visibility of east coasters it is primarily aimed at younger stock a pond as a College Student has. A lot of thinking about that but again the if you talk about the course i dont really know how to go about it when i see my friends who are using their own bikes to do this show they spend a lot on maintenance so thats the biggest benefit to me thats going to a slice. That is them go out he would think that according to Greenpeace India is a still home to 15 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world with delhi ranking as the worlds most polluted capital. But quite efforts are being made in delhi and its never being areas the city of scrabbling with the rapidly rising pollution that. This city is known as the diesel capital of india over 60 percent of vehicles in calcutta hottest and b. s and driven but it is hard for businesses to find investors for a mission freed rental systems since this is an extremely new model bags are on willing to finance it as the founders of the body go expedients however devoted consider changing that approach. We really want. To make sure that none of it goes well you the air and you know as many people ask as would we ever going to internal combustion does and we tell them no we might move to maybe higher speeds what does but live in never that is that is that you cause of our bad move in never going to icy icy as compared to a 4 stroke engine and electric scooter has a much lower Carbon Footprint depending on how the electricity was generated but immobility is also a technical challenge as there is still a lot of manufacturers of scooters and the batteries they need. To start to. Give the necessary impulses to get those. Now going bad would be will school run on the nifty and ion battery the same kind the fall was your wife for instance but how the electric vehicles work exactly wants of that question and. The world has been on the move since the canoe was invented in 8000 b. C. Fast forward to the 21st century and mobility has changed rapidly in addition to the convenience of getting from point a to b. Its becoming just as important to measure the cost of that commute on the environment having a clean alternative to traditional polluting vehicles is becoming a reality for people who drive electric ones which could replace gasoline or diesel. So our electric vehicles a feasible alternative in the automotive sector is a leading source of polluting emissions and is responsible for 30 to 50 percent of all particulate emissions. T. V. s are silent smooth and have no gears. They require less maintenance. They can be charged using a dedicated Home Charging unit or a public charging station. Electricity as a fuel is a more sustainable alternative to gasoline or diesel. And yet according to some estimates electric vehicles make up only 0. 2 percent of the 1300000000 vehicles on the road the reasons. For one the lack of rapid charging infrastructure puts people off buying these vehicles it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours depending on the size of the battery type of car and the charging port used. Also long journeys could be a problem as e. D. S. Have been unable to match gasoline run cars in terms of range and ability to accelerate. Another big reason is the upfront price tag attached to purchasing these vehicles but all of this could soon change. In china for instance the these are cheap because of the governments industrial policies in norway battery electric and plug in hybrid vehicles together hold up 50 percent market share. And in israel one in 10 people in tel aviv hop onto electric scooters but how green are really the electricity used to charge these vehicles does not always come from a Clean Energy Source and their production takes twice the amount of energy compared to a gasoline run vehicle. Yet researchers have found that e. T. S. Use electricity from renewable sources could produce 6 times less Carbon Emissions over their lifetimes. Not. Another huge source of Renewable Energy is something scientists will dependence on fossil fuel india is looking to harness. By 22 at the a community in germany may have been. If he gets in the energy for the day he needs lets take a. Long view. This is planet earth where we live this is the water and heres the crust inside its hot magma which warms up the world. Here in pula and no one is considered too young to learn about the potential of Geothermal Energy these children are visiting a municipal owned Company Called i e p which directly harnesses. In many ways typical of small town southern germany but its made a name for itself on a National Level for being a trailblazer in the area of Geothermal Energy. By u. P. S. Biggest client is the multinational linda which does some of its business and cooler. For a firm with such a large operation having a reliable Heating Network is a top priority. I. E. Peace management points to the benefits of Large Companies switching to this type of system. Linda linda has to focus on Environmental Protection and showing awareness of its Carbon Footprint with the believe Geothermal Energy can reduce that Carbon Footprint to a fraction of what it used to be for. The children get to see how the Geothermal Energy is harnessed. This is the. This is the drilling point number 2 number one is over there the water that comes out of them both has a temperature of over 100 degrees the pipes are warm to the touch. The water is extracted from layers of rock 3 kilometers underground a device called a heat exchanger is used to transfer the energy into the network. Once the water has cooled down its pumped back to the geological layer it came from this ensures that the water levels within the layers of rock remain constant. The existence of. Geothermal activity in the region has long been well known but the push to make pool a center for harnessing it was led by a small number of people determined to see the project through. Drilling began in 2004 by the following year the facility was supplying a number of public offices with heat. The project has spurred interest from abroad last year a delegation came to visit from india where cheap fossil fuels are used for power needs. While investing in Geothermal Energy is expensive proponents say the rise of environmental movements like fridays for a future might encourage governments to give it serious consideration the emissions should enter through i think pupils in need to go on strike for a few days you know you much more to ensure that adults stop using coal polluting the air. To focus. On that because if that works Geothermal Energy will experience big growth around the world what. Wants to be in a position to supply every home in the time with Geothermal Heating by 2024 a goal that seems possible. Around half of the homes here are already being supplied with the existing system. The cost is comparable to that of oil and gas leasing and maintenance costs are low. Ive been using Geothermal Energy for 3 years now hope and so far ive had no problems with heating. Its just we have no emissions anymore thats great task take that c o 2 emissions have gone down so much and pull off. This preschool is among the institutions being supplied with the Clean Energy Source or that the introduction of the system would have produced an estimated 114000 more tons of c o 2. Like to expand further we want to start more drilling. Geothermal activity here is very promising so wed like to keep drilling and supply the city of munich to. When it comes to a vision for a cleaner future there seems to be no shortage of any kind of energy in pool. Now staying with germany a balloon they stuffed up has taken upon itself to completely do of the wood style for hexafluoride from the s. F. 6 as its also called is the strongest moon beam houseguest and contributes 23000 times more than Carbon Dioxide to Global Warming new bench of a founded by munge an optimist and his colleagues is changing how high the wanted switch gears which is where as if 6 is use of his. Needs manchu not ramesh an electrical engineer originally from india who now lives and works in germany is berlin based company knew ventura as one to make electrical grids far more environmentally friendly month to knotts focus is on switch gear essential components that protect an Electrical Network from overload attack comes into play especially when construction work or repairs are being carried out the vast majority of switch gear uses a gas called sulfur hexafluoride or s f 6 as an insulator and that poses a major environmental problem s f 6 is the most potent Greenhouse Gas in the world. If you take one to know 4 as of 66123500 ton so for. What it means is. Its not only that its 23000. 00 fire more effective in creating Global Warming but its also a very long living. And the reason is there is no natural saying. If you take c. Or do that is plants which are absorbing it and that is a cycle which is happening and this cycle doesnt exist for us of 6 sulfur hexafluoride is a heavy in there and in combustible gas making it an effective and compact insulator. The issue according to munch unit is that over a switch gears lifetime some 20 percent of the gas it contains escapes a release of some 8000. 00 tons of s f 6 into the atmosphere each year. Although its hugely damaging to the environment s f 6 barely features and public Discussion Companies that rely on it have a vested interest in keeping it that way. Manjoo not wants to change his company has developed technology that enables switchgear to use regular air and sea. Out of s f 6 as an insulator he says its easier and cheaper to maintain than conventional switch gear and that the technology could prove to be a game changer in terms of Environmental Protection every year the world consumes millions of media markets which guess which countries so far as of 6 and if we are able to replace all of this which case not only medium or dish but also in Hollywood Asia we would be able to get rid of 8000. 00 done so for as of 6 which is getting released into atmosphere so just to compare it 1000 tonnes of us at 6 is equal and or more than 100000000. 00 cars a nearly and market. European lawmakers are aware of the harmful effects s f 6 can have theyve already prohibited its use in the production of tires and soundproof windows and now there are calls to ban the gas and switch gear to the block is due to publish a report on possible alternatives in the 1st half of 2020. Shallow to who see as a consultant who has coauthored a study of sulfur hexafluoride and switchgear she says a major barrier to moving away from the gas is cost. Switchgear is designed to last for more than 40 years. So for a great operator that has just installed say 3 or 4 new units it would be unbelievably expensive to say ok were going to remove the switch gear that was supposed to last for 4 decades and replace them with a set of 6 free switchgear that few of the facts hire side its only fair that the parties involved to be granted a transition period of time that i thought. Wants to lead the way his idea has already attracted several 1000000 euros from investors and the Technology Behind it has won awards. At a test center outside the western german city of do spork one Power Company is assessing whether the technology is sufficiently developed to meet its needs. According to manjoo not things are heading in the right direction. For me its very important to make this shift happen this is something i started 10 years before and they continue head and its my lifetime goal to make this happen. In life you dont get so many times the chance to make such a big difference and we have one and b if you want to get into. The technology could end up on the market later this year putting money to not ramesh and his Team One Step closer to their goal of eliminating s f 6 from the electricity grid and making Power Distribution more environmentally friendly. Like a venture that people around the world are working towards creating a cleaner environment for the generations that follow for example the tal of of the philippines its residents are rallying hard to stop the construction of power plants and make the switch theres a new bullet it cheap. People in the town of our to mourn on head to church early on sunday mornings its just 6 oclock. Theyre united in their catholic faith and in their opposition to a controversial construction project nearby. Its been part of our policy to fight coal plants because its harmful to people or full to the environment. We just want to. Protect our people and this is in keeping with the source of the terrorists that. To care for the the earth and care or for those who are. In the margins of society. After mass the congregation head to the site of a planned coal fired power plant to check if construction has already begun. They keep a detailed record of developers. There are no will says contractors have already started to clear the area of trees. Someday this was going on for years the plant will poison the local Drinking Water for joining the global will let their very best. And thats a macro. Approach so not just the micro we are protecting our people theyre joining the much larger picture of. What that you now are on hold. The philippines has rapid population growth 12000000 people live in metro manila alone on the power grid is in urgent need of modernization electricity is expensive and the funds generate a lot of pollution. Joe on a alla is head of Sustainable Energy funds for the bank and says there are Major Business opportunities in the sector then your business we will see the end is in the green to be happy to feel good about that you do good for the environment make money out of the. 2 thirds of the Philippines Energy consumption is actually coming from fossil fuel so in our own little way back here in the country what we hope to do is. Help shift that energy mix. Or energy. This is one of the projects a bank has financed to the tune of 1000000 euros just a year ago it was a stinking open rubbish dump the biggest landfill site in manila now the garbage has been cut. With earth and is used to generate electricity. Silver navarro is an engineer and Renewable Energy consultant. This well is connected down to the ground and its collecting methane gas and other gases thats being produced by decomposing garbage inside. The gas goes to a power plant where drives turbines navarro checks regularly how much electricity the cost generates he says the government should deal gas for 30 more years. Up landfill project may be good for the environment but its not so welcome for People Living in the slum nearby who have lost their source of income. They used to pick through the garbage with things they could sell for recycling plastic and alimony im. Now children look for those items while theyre still on garbage trucks. To try to stop for a few minutes to let the kids climb aboard and rummage around. To find it. Brian is 13 and has already been collecting garbage for 3 years. He lives with his mother and 5 brothers and sisters. He tells us he knows how to read and write and is proud of that. Unless i work every day. From 7 in the morning until 6 in the evening. I earn about 200 pesos a day. So on that basis. Thats equivalent to about 3 year rose when he grows up he wants to work on a garbage truck. You know to mourn our own father noah and his congregation are determined to do their part for the environment. We. He is dog both sets of color bought another one in the back story and there or more to church our main goal is to provide a tip elec they should be for the church and at the same time this is their way of. Showing that the holy word that weekend. Make yourself where you are they just orthe. By next year the entire roof of the church complex is said to be covered in for example take panels in addition to their efforts to block fossil fuels on increase environmental awareness the congregation are making a positive contribution of their own by switching to solar.
