Its becoming harder to fulfill with supplies running scares and prices soaring to new. Hi, especially here in europe. Securing enough energy to go round is one of the themes this week. Also coming up can new Technology Make our commutes more efficient . Could a seed shortage take french mustard off the menu . And is it high time we re discovered the many uses of hemp welcome to made data, we use business magazine. Now the you is in need of natural gas is become scarce since russia began choking off supplies. A response to western sanctions over its invasion of ukraine. European countries are racing to find alternatives to russian deliveries a difficult task and an urgent one. Now oil provides the largest proportion of the use energy supply, but natural gas is a close. Second, accounting for almost a quarter, adding coal, and you see just how relying the block still is on fossil fuels. Now neighboring norway could help solve the eas supply problems, but its not as simple as just turning on the gas taps max xander reports from one of the Worlds Largest oil and gas conventions. O n s. The fossil fuels europe desperately needs flight deep beneath the ocean. This region is responsible for 3 percent of the worlds gas consumption. The norwegian, Continental Shelf platform crews and pipeline operators are working around the clock to provide something thats now needed more than ever in europe. Affordable gas the biggest question is now whether or not norway will be able to share its riches and help out its european parkers. We travel to norway to find some answers. Now this here is one of the main facilities connecting norwegian gas fields to homes and businesses in central europe. This is the Coastal Processing plant from here, gas is being sent to germany by a pipeline. And since the beginning of the war, the volumes of gas being sent through this pipeline has increased quite a bit to make up for the lack of lush and gas compared to last year, almost 10 percent more gas is now being processed by plants like this one from casto, the gas travels more than 600 kilometers by a pipelines to m than and donald in northern germany. Since the start of the warn ukraine, german leaders have asked their norwegian counterparts to do even more. But the industry seems open to the idea. Like many others pipeline operator, gasket appears to be in good spirits here at o. N s one of the Worlds Largest oil and gas conventions. If you look at the average for the last 5 year, and we will definitely be on almost the highest level ever this year. We are working all the time to optimize the new agent transport system. The industry has been able to increase the output partially due to delaying maintenance with c o 4. The levels on expects even higher volumes of gas have delivered next year. However, like many in the industry, he prefers to not discuss profits. All a job is to be predictable, to deliver to goss in, to the market the way that the ship, but i want us wants us to do the high end irregularity, low emissions, and so on. If the prices are low and the prices are high, we do a job anyway, so, so thats our main focus related, reliable supply through europe. Norwegian suppliers and european customers would be very fond of seeing even larger volumes of gas sent through the nor see. But drilling for gas is a long term enterprise. At the Norwegian Petroleum museum, we meet curator beyond lint back. He tells us there are many obstacles that make it difficult to increase the countrys gas output. There is a lead time from when you discover a field to it comes on production and will vary. Or of course, with the where the field is located, that complexity over the expected price assumptions that the companies make. But like you said, its not the switch that you can easily just turn on. He tells us that in theory, nor we has orland gas reserves left that could be exploited. But in practice its rather complicated. The norwegian shelf is what you call a mature province. So all the expected large major discoveries have been made. You are still making discoveries, but they are becoming smaller and smaller in size. What does the future hold for oil and gas . Thats a valid question, especially now during this crisis, norway itself is seen as a role model when it comes to green energy. The water bodies we pass along the way, are the countries main source of electricity, hydro electric power, this reservoir and the power station its connected to provide energy to the entire region. Exporting gas and oil has made norway rich, but in the long run it will have to phase out fossil fuels in order to reach its climate goals and protect the environment. An artist, norways g d p. Ultimately it will be up to the government and also to the side for now however, it seems gas is here to stay, but we see a lot of new interests in both exploration her and investments and new production in norway. Its been strengthened by the position taken by, by the u. That norwegian gas will also provide an Important Role posts 2030 in the post 2030 picture so. So i do see the turner we from gas will, will be important in the Energy Transition that europe is now gone for norwegian, oil and gas wont solve the European Energy crisis alone, but theyre likely part of the answer. On another part of the answer could simply be using less energy heat pumps are seen as a much more efficient and environmentally friendly way to keep your home warm than conventional boilers. And here in germany, theyre becoming all the rage. Uptake has been rising unabated in recent years, sales triple between 20152021. So, ah, heat pumps all that theyre cracked up to be, or is the hype, just hot air . Well, lets take a look. Blue or heat pumps, the cure all they seem to be. Interest in heat pumps is growing, as people look for cheaper alternatives to oil and gas for heating their homes. But they make sense for other reasons too. The pumps are more environmentally friendly because they extract natural heat from the air ground or water. Heat pumps work by transferring the free extracted heat via and exchanger using refrigerant, because the refrigerant has a very low boiling point, water evaporates in the process. This vapor is then highly condensed in a compressor which is the actual heat pump in another heat exchanger the thermal energy of the heated steam is then transferred to the radiator. It heats up, maybe not as fast and hot as usual, but enough, not so great for people who really feel the cold. But now comes the catch. Operating such a system requires electricity. The same amount as an entire household would consume even more if the system is not properly configured. Determining a buildings exact hate requirements is particularly difficult in Old Buildings due to unsealed windows, outdated, Building Materials and so on. If the heat pump is too big or too small, the electricity costs can even exceed gas or oil prices, as electricity is also becoming more expensive. Systems that use air are often also very noisy and disturb both neighbors and the owner. Installing them isnt cheap either. It can easily cost around 25000. 00 euros, but they can pay for themselves after just a few years. Some countries, like germany also offer subsidies. Another problem is finding people who know how to properly install them, their origin skilled workers to meet the increased demand. Heating with heat pumps can be a sensible eco friendly option, but it is not a cure all nice, not just household that i hoping to save on their energy bills. Businesses are also keeping an eye out for new ways to be more efficient. Providers of public transport look to the latest technology to make things move quicker and cheaper. In hamburg, cutting edge trains could help with cutting down costs. But this chain travel is complicated. It always has been always will be able to help to create more capacity and more stability and train travel through digitalization. A Pilot Project in hamburg for self driving commuter trains are up and running after siemens deutsch. Yvonne and the city of hamburg invested 60000000 euros in a digital rail system. Its a big step for public transport in the city without laying any additional track. More trains are now able to run at shorter intervals. Does not, as the special thing about this project is that for the 1st time we have automated trains driving in an open rail system. And were using technology that wasnt purpose built for community trains on. Rather, its transferable to freight trains as well as regional or Long DistanceRail Services found for camp. Down here is the heart of the train Security Systems with more names that communicate with each other. Ensuring that the trains drive safely than that there arent any accidents. Id or if your audio stands for automatic train operation, and thats the standardized system for self driving trains in europe. Some ultimate is yet and found it. Yes, yes. Stands for european train control system longest. What that closet does this . So thats the standard i Safety System in europe that monitors the trains to make sure they dont drive too fast or too far on the slides. 5th, oh, thanks to the systems. Train, travel shouldnt just become more efficient and punctual. It will also mean Energy Savings of up to 30 percent and rail operators. Hope that autonomous driving will reduce wear and tear on parts such as brakes. Safety however, is the main sticking point. Is toyland from fought silly, actually driving the trails, accelerating and breaking isnt the problem with mr. Probably . Was my the problems come from operational processes, sub lawyer and file. For example. What to do when there is the malfunction is thump him up with you. How do you handle things in an Automated Vehicle when you no longer have a driver . Thats the kind of question people are asking to day. You are getting watched a movie, schwartz with august dated. Thats why there are still drivers at the head of hamburg autonomous commuter trains an unforeseen event could mean the driver has to make an emergency stop. In addition to technical reasons, there are also legal ones requiring the presence of a driver in germany, its still against the law for driverless trains to be on the tracks is loud and he says, i dont think were currently in a position to take dr. His out of was one of his trains, nor is it desirable. It doesnt make sense to do that and its not even necessary. But i do think that self driving trains can really create added value admiral capacity and put more trains on the tracks, particularly when you consider how hard it is to day to find enough stuff. How about to teach happen con matthew, the found come the need is there, especially in urban areas where experts predict a growing number of people will want to travel by train in the future when them moving on now. And friend is the wells biggest consumer of this stuff, mustard but french dinner tables could soon be without the countrys favorite condiment droughts, thousands of miles away in canada, having an impact across the atlantic. Sonya found the car reports from a part of france where mustered really matters. Ah diesel. The capital of burgundy is famous for the mustard that bears its name, the craft of mustard making dates back centuries in this medieval city. Yet, even in this town jars of the tangle condiment, a near, impossible to find this store owned by french mustard brand may is usually a big drawer with foreign tourists. But now even the french are here to get their favorite condiment after a disastrous harvest last year in canada, which supplies 80 percent of france is mustard seeds, the condiment of staple in french cuisine all but disappeared from supermarket shelves. Even here, sales are restricted, only one job is allowed per household of the nose, tickling dijon, mustard. To the law, i can only get one jar at a time. I have lots of friends who asked me to get some because i live close by. So sometimes i drop by to get one urge or point at are among league fan of dijon mustard. Its a real institution in france outside the via the dirt with another. In the supermarkets, we found some mustard from paula to toughen who its mustard warmer. But its not the same. Well, it just doesnt have the same taste as dijon mustard. That special acidic flavor is explained by the burgundy regions, famous vineyards, dijon mustard is made by combining white wine with brown mustard seeds. But that key ingredient is in short supply. This mustard factory has a tough job on his hands. Its trying to keep up with demand despite a shortage of seeds. And dijon is france, his 3rd largest must produce sound employees, a 165 people. The company has some stock of brown grain locally grown, muster seeds, but a crippling drought last year in canada, as well as an unusually mild winter in france. Devastated harvests in both countries, the companies to main suppliers. The double whammy means overall production is down 25 percent this year. See prices have skyrocketed and the factory sometimes struggles to me told us, like were biggest problem is that theres a lot of uncertainty about supplies. Weve secured a few barrels on local burgundy, mustard sienna that were installed as for the rest, where we have a week where we get to see it. And then a week where we hardly get any at all when laws workers mopar. Luke found emerson is also the president of the burgundy mustard association. He says the only way out is to limit their dependence on canadian suppliers by reviving local mustard production in the region. It currently makes up about 20 percent of supplies to the french sector lab for the future. We need to diversify our sources of mustard seeds. We can put all our eggs in one basket, or we certainly want to strongly raised the share of french production. Firstly to secure supplies, but also were environmental reasons gold buying, mustard seeds and burgundy is certainly better for our Carbon Footprint than buying them in canada. Like i little the mustard companies are now offering significantly higher prices to farmers like have reached jennifer for their seeds. Hes the president of an association that represents burgundy, mustard seed produces. Ready moscow addicted, so now he, they are, the aim is to fulfill about 50 percent of the industrys needs. Whether thats a good thing for everyone. It balances the rigs for muster companies or 9, and we would have local production here. Happy. Half m. C sock was on doing a huge any, but it still emblematic of our region because its dijon mustard. After all the usual. Well, the plan to ramp up local production is ambitious. It aims to more than double the land devoted to growing. Mustered seeds in burgundy from a current 4000 tech test 210000. For now. However, the mustard shortage is here to stay. And its also affecting restaurants like this one, offering regional fat. O, clo, napoleon has stopped serving mustard on the side and is rationing the supplies. It stopped at the beginning of the crisis. The chef has even modified his signature dish, a mustard chicken cold, lepeu lay, gaston wa, to ensure they dont run out noble guns a glimmer here in burgundy, snails, mustard and wine are emblematic of our region and our identity for us. A shortage of mustard as complicated was said. So now we tried to make fewer dishes based on mustard of it. Weve adapted our cooking. We use less of it where we try and replace mustard often with a spice or another dressing, or some lemon juice, or citrus fruit juice to compensate oracle bolted. The. So please, the hope here is that the beloved condiment will soon make a comeback to once again, add spicy flavor to french cuisine from mustard tomorrow of wanna now its perhaps best known for its intoxicating qualities, but down the centuries, hemp has played many other roads in human civilization, not only can you consume it, but you can wear it or even build with it. So is now the time to rediscover the versatility of this often maligned plant, said arvada thinks it is caused by many names and cannabis marijuana we gotten jeff. And just as diverse at his names are, its years this we made our take styles, paper, medicine, energy, oil, all the temp until we started demonizing and criminalizing. Now that make a plant is making a comeback. Hemp has been one of the most planted crops in history, not because youre just a bunch of stunners, but because the Recreational Use of hamp is just to peep off the iceberg. For thousands of years, both animals and humans used it as an important food source. Him cultivation started 12000 tuesday, going china. And from there, humans submitted ever that sailors used highly durable, hemp for de ropes and sales. So they took the seats with them everywhere because of the root. Hemp of the 2nd most used material on the ships. Its flowers had been used as medicine for thousands of years as well as in spiritual practices or just simply for pleasure. But then came to dark ages for cannabis. New technologies were invented for cuttin, which boosted supplies of fiber. Trees replaced hamp as the paper search. And later, sales and rover made with Petroleum Based synthetics. But what really killed the plant was something else. There was a side guys are for banning the Substance Use of recreational drugs. Weve hammered it down into eyes humanities, head that this is an illegal and massively bad plans. But now, scientists as slowly discovering that its uses can go valid beyond that youd have known so far and could help us clean up a lot of industries. A big one is construction. The building can housing industrial produce is almost 40 percent of all Carbon Dioxide emissions. But that might have changed at hampton is already in use as an installation material. But now, more and more sustainable Construction Companies use hamp creek to build walls and floors to like the 12th floor Building Made with ham crayton. South africa hem crate is basically a mixture of ham shives, and lime lime, petrified. The hemp site doesnt be great or break. It is light, but strong. It is breathable. Site regulates moisture and temperature better. That means lower energy builds normal and basically non toxic environment. It is fire resistance and due to its flexibility, it can withstand major at craig. Its installation properties that also the chat. It works as heat sound and humidity insulation. And after its lifetime hem creed can be reused as fertilizer. As at this point to the organic attempt create
