Do about this thats what we talk about to be a little welcome this is equal india and on some. Over the last 100 years changing lifestyle has meant that if you produce and vinnies more and more toxic chemicals into the feet big denny for example intermittent power cuts have led to a proliferation of diesel generators over the years their little contribution to 16 percent of the ambient air pollution in the city a clean tech start up could just to confuse or douce this number and make way for cleaner air. Focus on the shop floor are busy helping solve one of the biggest problems facing new delhi. Indias capital has the air quality of any major city in the world in terms of particulate matter concentration residents to their feet the incessant pollution seems inevitable. Every time you step out of your house youre going to find. Yourself in a lot of other people around you popping. A lot of people suffering from breathing difficulties the cause is the pollution in the city. We are helpless however. We have to carry on with our job to make ends meet. One of the biggest causes of daleys air pollution is diesel generators vital for electricity back up in a city that experiences frequent power cuts when diesel is burnt to generate electricity toxic gases and particulate matter released into the air. The w. H. O. Safety limit for particulate matter is 23. 00 micrograms per cubic metre these are generators cause its density to rise to 300. 00 micrograms per cubic metre. Innovation was founded some years ago to find a solution for this problem. Its. One of these. And he was using. These. From the. Source. To shield is a direct proof a device that oxidizes the outgoing particulate matter hydrocarbons and Carbon Monoxide from diesel generators. So if you look at how small the. Pointy micron something that doesnt even get. So thats something thats really hard to capture and thats why we. Could actually capture these micro elements which would have otherwise having to our bloodstreams. When exhaust from a diesel generator enters the. Contaminants. And Carbon Dioxide the particular is trapped in a filter and converted into c o 2 using the catalyst these filters regenerate themselves so they dont have to be replaced. From the. Technology. From getting it. Those are fair that weve been able to prevent from getting for you that would be approximately ward or people will be the new year. So far checker has installed it director for devices and diesel generators in Big Companies and private households lawyer joe di sagal chuck the shield installed in a Large Office Building he owns in delhi he hopes his example will encourage others. In august of 2007. We had. In store here in this building and that was the 1st this permission in brooklyn we have for the set so 125. So it all adds up to Something Like 500. 00 a year and then just one installation now the point is that with one installation you cannot have any discernible changes that you can see this is has to be adopted more widely. In late 2019 the Supreme Court mandated and mammon Pollution Prevention and control authority directed a ban of diesel generators during the winter months in the National Capital region and its surrounding areas an indication of how urgent the problem is retrofitted devices like joxer shield however are only one part of the solution to meet the target of the National Clean air programme which is reducing particulate matter levels by 30 percent by 2024 daily needs many many more innovations. Carbon dioxide is the 4th most abundant gas in the arts. Atmosphere now if this concentration begins to increase thats when things start again that is why and how does this happen lets find out. The air we breathe is invisible but there are ways of detecting its precise composition. There is composed almost entirely of nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide makes up a fraction of one percent but its a fraction thats growing and thats a problem c o 2 is among the primary causes of the greenhouse effect are such a natural process that warms the earths surface. After sunlight passes through the earths atmosphere most of the rays are reflected back up. Some of them reflected back down again by sunlight reflecting particles in the atmosphere but as pollution increases so does the amount of radiant energy returning to earth the heat is essentially trapped and builds up like in a greenhouse but now more than it would do without our activities. 3 quarters of human made Greenhouse Gas emissions come from burning fossil fuels for energy use coal fueled power plants are among the biggest polluters. The Agricultural Sector also produces huge quantities of the gases another prime contributor to greenhouse emissions is industry. Meanwhile the worlds human population continues to grow its more than tripled since 952 an estimated 7700000000 people. At the same time Global Economic growth is at 3 percent a year and that means more Energy Consumption more Agricultural Production and more industry. This in turn means rising temperatures due to the greater amount of c o 2 being. Into the air. China has become the Worlds Largest emitter of Greenhouse Gases followed by the us india russia and japan. Germany is number 6 on the list responsible for 2 percent of global c o 2 emissions. Its estimated that about 90 percent of people in the countries around the pacific have to breed. The reasons are different of course traffic dependence on fossil fuels one in forest. In many countries. Because it produces large quantities of Carbon Dioxide a young woman in thailand has found a solution. In her country. After every harvest thailands rice farmers burn off the remaining rice straw and stubble to clear their land. The acrid smoke carries far and wide on the wind. In the Northern Province of lampung the harvest is underway since early in the morning women have been out in the fields cutting the sheaves with their sickles. Fish theres a lot of straw left on the field typically a kilogram kilogram of rice if its left to rot it will release me fame a potent Greenhouse Gas but burning the straw emits c o 2 and creates fine particulate matter thats harmful to people and the environment. Wants to change things after completing her studies in bangkok she decided to return to her home village and develop an alternative meaning. I mean if were going to fall. Patience its very hard when i grow rice and. This is a taste of a long time and after the ice saw each one is very nice that when i come to my home town i dont share in that life will rise much i find solutions far off learning for food for the entrepreneur rice troys not waste to be disposed of but a valuable resource. She pays the farmers the equivalent of 0. 03 a kilo. The golden stalks abroad by the truckload to honey or by factory. Here destroys chopped up because the air is full of fine straw particles everyone has to wear a face mask. Them a small pieces of straw a mixed with hot water no chemicals are added but the mixture has to boil for 4 hours. That produces a pulpy mess which is then cleaned and dried. From the factory floor we meet up again with the farmers from the rice field. Called beacon you know this is a very good thing that i salute it used to be that we had no work after the rice harvest. But with this factory job i can improve my income whether you want to even go to. The pope is used to make biodegradable paper and packaging but machines to process the pulp are expensive so the entrepreneur exports the raw material to india we have a customer because in india that ason large off. And table. And then less often romack. And context as and they add very interesting you know our product because. Our product is the special feature of the table where is a fin coating of rice starch which helps the product resist greased heat and liquids in a 2 hour test with a popeye a salad the dish stayed leakproof. Nice. The next day she pays a visit to the city of chiang mai the economic and cultural heart of northern thailand. At Chiang Mai University they also conduct research into rice the auditorium is designed to resemble a grain of rice. Here scientists support thai start ups with their expertise. The other one coming one would like to manufacture takeaway Food Packaging made of rice straw in her own factory she hopes it will become financially feasible by 2020 shes especially interested in the research is work on improving the rice starch film so that it takes longer to dissolve. But do people here actually need tableware made of rice straw. As in most cities in thailand life here is largely outdoors the hundreds of Street Vendors and food stands all use disposable containers. If you want to start up your own Production One vendor says and Pay Attention to the sizes of the bulbs shouldnt be too large or the customers will think the portions are too small and the price is important one baht per piece would be ok. Without. One but is the equivalent of 0. 03. That a lot of coffee shop concept somebody. Is high speed of light at 40 feet up its mosque wrong in the past to us after the encourage. The rest of the small restaurant list payload bay to make it to. The back of her home village of one common one is visiting her grandparents. And that they yet are aware that. This is where she started her business a few years ago. She carried out of 1st experiments with rice straw pulp in her grandmothers cooking pots. At 1st her grandparents were far from thrilled is this why they had sent my grandchild to study at great expense in the capital. I dont know i did. But meanwhile they have ample reason to be proud of her. And as the saying goes the rice farmers of lump of learned how to turn straw into gold. Because burning it would be a terrible waste. Lets discuss something controversial. For a few years theres been a religion debate about whether on there we should take the plane to travel across cities and countries you know the early installs high emissions of Carbon Dioxide and im bad for the environment our colleagues travel to sweden to move to an activist who has given up flying for good and is convincing others to do with. 14 and a half hours for changes lets go. Im on a mission to find out more about the no fly movement and how its impacting business and so im heading to the heart of the movement to sweden the long way by train a journey that flying would take less than 2 hours 1st just to train to hamburg environmental activists like cutter to have got people thinking about their contribution to the Climate Crisis and rethinking that flying happen sweets even have a new word for it. Or flight shame. Emissions from flying make up more than 2 percent of the global c o 2 total. I really thought we were getting to go on the ferry i cant believe but i didnt think we were going to let the train that is actually going to go on the ferry. The trailers less carbon intensive the ferry not so much but its a novelty there 3rd so much better than i played. 5 hours since my trip and im still excited. But now on the bus to copenhagen that feeling is starting to wear thin. The number of passengers traveling by rail in the e. U. Is on the rise Swedish National train operator s. J. Reported almost 32000000 customers in 2018 a record up 1500000 from the year before. I never fly it doesnt work cant do it anymore what we do here routes and he doesnt matter. We are. All. Over though. Its much cheaper i can take the. Flight but i dont want to i finally arrive in stockholm 2 hours behind schedule here the no fly movement has given rise to business talks muster meaning train vacation was launched in january 2019 it started as a Facebook Group the following numbers rose from around 5000 in 2018 to more than 100000 andreas existences on i was 1st saw an opportunity in the tourist sector i think we have to be more like a little bit like the slow slow Food Movement be more press and focus more on the adventure or the trip itself and be more not so like grasshoppers. Who jump so where everyone go there and its destroyed the Fledgling Company got me in suffering group tours by train. Marketing interrail cox and organizing conferences to train enthusiastic. Travel costs have been kept low in the e. U. By the lack of tax on jet fuel and limited taxes on tickets among other factors cheap flights in europe have shaped a whole generation chapel is now an option for almost everyone on the continent. Of a 4500000000 passengers took to the air in 2019 more than twice as many as in 2008. Im eating Stephanie Elam from easy jet he says the airline has reduced its Carbon Footprint by 32 percent since 2000 that means as many people on board of an aircraft the less fuel it consumes per person per kilometer we are also flying the most efficient aircraft in the world at the moment we believe we can do more and that goes for all our lines reports show that akram c o 2 was only. Part of the problem other missions are also harmful the last destination on my trip is. My almost 18 gave up flying 10 years ago shes running a campaign to get people in sweden to pledge to do the same in 2020. So far she has more than 14000. 00 signatures. But im not too concerned because i think that what this is about is that the people who sign up they have to feel engaged in this and try to also convince people around them. The bottom line on trains buses and ferries i produced about 82 kilograms of c o 2 less than half what planes on the same trip would have limited i cant promise to stop flying but i can say at least that this trip has made me consider how i will travel in the future. The goal for us is not really to eliminate Carbon Dioxide we cant avoid producing it which is why we need smarter solutions to manage it better a start up in the Southern State of. Helping big industrial. Emissions into something useful now how does that work lets stick. In here has a deep and complicated relationship with coal as a fast developing country it needs a lot of energy and about half the countrys electricity is generated from coal. But the resulting emissions have a Significant Impact on air quality and contribute to the Climate Crisis. About a quarter of the Missions Including Carbon Dioxide come from industry. Know in no way do this like. A looking at gathering the goblin dioxide before it is releasing to be atmosphere and dumping it into something useful. I think it is quite and. Theres only so much we can do about placing the existing industrial emissions. Placing them at an amazing pace. So a lot of wind i draw the other forms but. Theyre just. Industrial emissions. And we have to think about. What would be their mission in the city of duty cotton sure most companies the 1st in the country to capture carbon on an industrial scale while making a profit its 1st customer is the factory that makes sodium carbonate also known as soda. In addition to sort. Of it another chemicals it also needs for its production. The company used to have to buy it but now it uses the Carbon Dioxide emitted from its own coal burning boilers during the production process. The emissions are collected and returned to the block 1st they are cleaned off dust and other toxins the toxins to a Sewage Treatment plant. The gases through the companys proprietary sold and the Carbon Dioxide which then goes directly to the sort of ash production. In the end only. And water vapor image. If you guessed that. You would have learned if you dont say anything. To the gas that you would do that its going to sneeze in the gas. Much daily you know you can dedicate that if youre going to do it but making it difficult not only for that but they know theyre going to get it because it is more than 99 percent view. Today the blond generates around 175. 00 pounds of Carbon Dioxide but the soda and the and die plant itself can now be classified as called the new crude the soda ash is then sold as a role model mostly for the production of glass. In the u. S. Cities develop and gloss cloud offices mushroom using. Means a significant decrease in the Carbon Footprint of office buildings. I think our pieces are companies pieces and believe that its possible to. Be climate neutral Carbon Dioxide negative 0 to negative but at the same better than previews product. Keep going about the business youre doing. As world economies show resistance graphical change perhaps Green Technologies that ensure profitability significantly the worlds problematic goblin emissions. And the rise in global Carbon Dioxide levels. In their bid to buy if we dont want also and our policymakers accountable to do i hope this episode has given you many reasons to do so well see you again next week until then good bye. I will. Do. You still need our ears to hear in the future. Can make music songs written down upon folds. And will new technologies expand on sunday cause. Brain basis and journey into the future of listening.
