scheduled a fresh start, made in germany next on d. w. enjoying the views, and come to take a look at this. i'll tell you the highlights every week in your inbox, subscribe now. the nuts and bolts, kitchen, utensils, houses and cars. do you know where the natural resources for these come from? they have to be withdrawn and refined into steel, for example, more and for modern extraction methods and technologies are being used to streamline the process is and make them cheaper and to protect the environment. even if this sometimes comes at a cost such as in sweden. also coming up on this edition of made, how a i is cutting energy use in

a cement mill of spanish farmers are coping with continuing droughts and how portugal is leading the way with electro nobility. the key to not a mining towns located 1200 kilometers from sweden's capital. stock. com. it's march and the city has yet to emerge from the long winter. one has brought most people here for the past 100 years is working. europe's largest iron or mine. a mine tour. you can drive several 100 meters deep into its interior by car. we have the mind added to a $137.00. that we are 230 meters under the top of them. oh,

that's the serial we arrive at a depth of more than 1300 meters in the world's biggest iron or mine, a new experience for me. no dusty, dirty working environment that probably still exists somewhere. but state owned company, l k, a b is proud of its modern or mining alexander, folk head controls in excavate, or remotely everything is computer operated. it looks like a hotel lounge here, the terminal workers, new office. the iron or minerals are delivered to the excavator by remote control, jack hammers. it does depend, if it is the sold driven or a electrical and driven machine. and it also depends on the rock quality and, but this one, generally this machine will uh, get 18 tons per round. so to say,

so on a normal shift that is allowed to continuously run, it could easily produce a 2000 tons. this mind makes we didn't the 12th largest iron or producer in the world and a reliable supplier for you. steal producers, the the iron oars cartridge away in automated electric trains like this before it contains about 50 percent iron. it is find the ground and then melted in rotary kilns. the operators say that 100 percent renewable electricity is used they want to replace all combustion engine ends with electric drives. they aimed to create an end product

of 100 percent green sponge on like 2045. yes, we have the discussions already of the customers. all of our customers are willing to buy this whole 7 face. these from cute are now a change of scene to the east coast of lou d o. l k. a b already runs the who but it smelting furnace with other industrial partners. here. it uses hydrogen to create a precursor to steal from the wrought iron pallets. and in 2028, the iron ore producer wants to get into the business of making climate neutral sponge iron itself. this would further add to its value. last year, l k, a b made a profit of 1400000000 euros. significant deposits of river herbs had been found nearby. now the old mining challenge is to make way as they were,

rich deposits of iron or beneath it. and right next door for kilometers away, the new town of cuter, now it costs over a 1000000000 euros paid for by the mining company. so how are the residents coping the leeway south haven't actually moved my household, but i think it's a new start. you know, it's a new beginning for a lot of things. and of course there's a lot of motions, lot of confusion and in the and things, but it's a new beginning that we could all be of the part of this modern day. so that's pretty, pretty exciting. i do like the details that it's put into it. if you look at like the facades and the little design details, you can tell that to the architects has kind of done the research on, on the town. around 6000 residents must relocate. construction would only take 10 years, but the town curator makes plans well in advance and ask the residents what they

wanted. we also have that. what do you lacked in in you and in the old city and what you want in a new city. so one thing was like a, a more to find the shopping area because we didn't have any like shopping states and so on. so here, i'm sorry, on the new shopping stories and a lot of stores here. and they also wanted to have more nature because nature is very important. as for kid and city representatives have already been given in new city hall paid for by the mining company, sweden is becoming more important as a supplier of iron or to the you. and in the future of rare earth as russia and china are unreliable, supply partners, that's why the mayor finds it important that new workers move here to the north. already are attractive, safety because of this new seat, the center and the close the our close position to the night tour. it can

reach everywhere in, in, in short, a time. then from 5 to 10 minutes from the new assistant. that if you want to go with the sky and so on. dozens of historic wooden houses from the old town are being brought over to the new kid are now towed in by truck. the old identity is to live on and the new town, the old town is already starting to sink as the valuable iron ore is being dug out from underneath that artificial intelligence has become imperative in many areas. a i controlled robots and increasing automation. writing text. reading arch or making music and heavy industry here to a i is gaining traction. among other things, it's helping to combat the skilled worker shortage and high energy consumption and

international organizations say it has even greater economic potential heavy equipment is being deployed in southern germany's how requiring the stone is ground up and used, for example, as additives for the cement industry, the mineral materials company was almost on the verge of bankruptcy with its outdated plant. the reason high electricity costs the company was under pressure and costs had to come down. the solution, artificial intelligence. i'm glad you. i know we have relatively small plants there, so i have to be more efficient than everyone else. so then i have a chance. if i just use the oldest systems and controls, i can get there for weeks, huge amounts of data from the system were collected in store using motion sensors. hey, i software use this data full to develop a new electronic control system. the result,

energy savings of around 20 percent management is satisfied, the system is now centrally controlled. the software calculates exactly how the system should be run in order to work effectively and with a least amount of energy. or the a i control system replace has several highly paid skilled workers and one fell swoop. but no one has been laid off yet. how do i? because the system runs much more smoothly and better and tracks all the process parameters. i can feed people to do other tasks that are much harder to automate or can be automated at all. we gotta see things really get out of money. do that also makes a worthwhile that includes these. don't know if you caught you next to hand over. the process is called retrofit tier. a completely outdated press from 1989 as being technically refurbished development engineer. news dude knows his way around previously. only well trained skilled workers were able to run the process control

system that today looks like something from the stone age of automation bus, which defines what was important. the fact that it was that people were at the center and if they contributed their experience. for example, you can set the energy and it's set according to the workers experience that mitchell bye, of things to the eyes software he developed this expertise and running the press is no longer needed. the engineer spend weeks collecting all kinds of data from the process with the help of the sensors. the a i software sorts this knowledge and has been able to control the process independently is a bite distances team. once the system is working properly and has been trained, you can assign workers to the system who are not experts in this area. this lets you reduce the number of those who are specifically trained for this height, and in so doing cut costs, but i always completed sensitivity until middle customer loyalty. and this

a i software will soon be ready to market. it's feared that many skilled workers in the middle industry will then lose their jobs. next to berlin, tier software program or nina, god is working on an a i solution for laboratories she use this are intelligent software and robots, the transfer toxic substances into different containers in labs. this is time consuming and expensive routine work. large pharma firms want to use this a i assume to deploy expensive labs staff more effective way the outcome gets. there were monotonous tasks, were the same. processes are constantly carried out. then this is a very good aid. i don't believe the jobs will be lost as a result. i believe that on the whole it can be a support artificial intelligence, a threat or an opportunity. the german economic institute in cologne is calculated

in a study that, hey, i has the potential to boost the german economy by 330000000000 euros over the next few years. and i've tried to, like we have only had minimal productivity growth in germany and recent years at a of hey, i can help to reverse this trend and ensure additional productivity is. that's why i see this is a great opportunity, especially with the skilled worker shortage that we're already seeing, which will get worse in the coming years old off the ai is one way to counteract this. and this is kind of that getting to file as a useful tool, german companies are finding more and more applications for a i. but the big innovations are coming from global tech giants. google, apple, intel, and video german companies simply can keep up with that. finding

quinn cleveland's this t, what's the basic system said that the competition is very, very difficult to when we think the tech he got was a big tech guy. and some of us who invest unimaginable amounts of money every year and developing basic software. my personal assessment is that there will probably continue to be a dependency white on off these type of the programmers will soon have much faster computer chips at their disposal, which will give even more impetus to the use of artificial intelligence to stay competitive on the global market german industry has to seize this opportunity. some drink tea, others plug their coffee, mineral water, alcoholic, or non alcoholic drinks. there are many ways to quench your thirst, but one thing is clear, we all need to drink. and the foundation of all drinks is of course water,

but it's not just humans and animals who need clean water to suffice. plants also depend on it. this reservoir is used to be full to the brim. now it's almost empty. it was and 80 percent of the trees here don't bear fruit to include that dried up rivers, nighttime drinking water shut off, and the all important tourism. the search for solutions has begun. all the condos were behind the cost of del sol general prosperity. the region developed well to, well, farmers covered the place with the cato plants, now they've begun to trump them down. there is no longer enough water for everyone, especially not on the hills. because the front on you're going, there's been less and less for a few years now. no, no. we don't recover from the summers in winter because the winter comes and i'm all but it doesn't rain antonio here as part of a condo trees since they 1980. so he's are in the valley,

but they don't get enough water. and they're separate of these because we have to little harvest, we take them to in normal times, they'd be left hanging down for it. and tony of you and many other farmers, it could be much worse or a minimum. i get that. fortunately, we have treated water, but it's not enough to meet the demand. the law at that in the name treated water around to build a smaller guy in the hard key area. people have known for use that the water was running out. millions of bureaus have been invested in new reservoirs and pipes so that the water from sewage treatment plants does not flow into the sea. but on to fields, now they are tapping into more treatment plans. every drop counts, but treated water is not as clean as water from reservoirs or wells. so scientists are looking at the best way to use treated water. now what are headed out in a recycled water? has many advantages of company as it has

a high nutrient contents in the and if it has nitrates, potassium and phosphates, fast you beautiful. and in the form of the plants directly absorb. i mean it doesn't mean that there is no need for any treatment. that means apart from removing the pollutants, i mean i'm thinking this how the experts are now also looking at how other plans cope with treated water, such as papaya, as of a condos here, have a problem with it, a legacy of ok. so what we find that of a condo is in particular or especially sensitive to salinity. hey, i wonder how well that some of the condos have dry leaves is the result that they suffer from negative side effects because well treated water we work with is salty, comfortable how this will treated water doesn't necessarily have to have these high levels. but in the case of the hockey, a municipality of the i got it, although it does not hold on. while i said, well, i think 7 30 am the water supply, his team and bailey smart guy, receives its tasks for the day. there was plenty to do and a few pipes of burst again, but 1st, thomas wrote to be,

guess makes the lines of many residents easier again, on the web. okay. good. so mean, if we noticed that we're using more than we are allocated by the original supplier, you know, we have to shut off the water in some areas. and part of the more people we prefer to do this at night telephone if you as, as it has less of an effect on the population out of network. but also because we can stop water from disappearing through leaks in the leaks account for 20 percent of water consumption. one reason why the pipes are put under more strain when the water is shut off. so level columbia, then we have 3 or 4 bridgewater pipes each day. it happens regularly, the pipes are made of polyethylene and are already several years old, which makes them more vulnerable. over time, the impulse, the municipality has its own wells for the drinking water supply to him, a sort of g guys shows us one, but the pumps have been at a standstill here for more than a year or is new. i forgot to go step way above the ground water level kept falling

at all at the moment. okay. we could only pump less and less water. you can run them over to them. right. at some point it was so beautiful that we couldn't do anything with the big pump. and so i'm, i knew there was still some water and of them. but put the pumps here it would quickly break down because they kept switching on and off. that's why the $85000.00 residents are now rely on water from neighboring areas in the bally smaller town hall. the deputy in charge is trying his best to conserve what water exists and get new water. also, as he goes to email a, we have to celebrate the water, which we have plenty of here. but even if it's a bit more expensive, that'd be nice. but it would be a shame to lose our economy, the existing structure and the number of businesses. and above all, what is made are a hockey region famous. i'm going to send you the model, the average region around ameria desalination enables farming there. and on the

cost of del sol, there was just wanting to save a nation plant. more are planned, but that does not solve short term problems. last year, i know if water was needed for 14000000 tourists here. the hotel association review is, is to give interviews on this issue for fear of spoiling the atmosphere. and that's the phone. a hotel manager who do go home big still seems pretty relaxed about his new hotel. you always find as a noise hotels? yes. i mean, this is a new hotel and of course we plan to have um about that. so we have the water cisterns on the building where the rain water is collected and we have 3 water wells. and we have 200 facilities, for example, that we can feed to use treating water back into the system. you go to fuel and couldn't indeed and detect non logging. but he also strongly feels that dissemination plants must be built quickly. submitted me a set goals in the mediterranean, is big enough that we can take water from it and it would just need to be

disseminated to return to our water supply. what if water simply flowed at the touch of a button? since it hardly ever rings the focus is now shifting to a machine that's being built in under lose. yeah. but it's actually only used far away, based on the principle of an air conditioner. it draws water from the air technology like this, uses a lot of electricity. and i think the see the we have cut consumption by a quarter and i'm looking at this now. let's us produce a leader of drinking water for $3.00 to $0.05. yeah, the today is, i think us into monday to and these are the soon that will be a plan for domestic use. more interesting still is a project that will be even bigger than this shipping container as well, getting a little but, and also to this. what's new for us now is meeting the needs of agriculture in nature. they didn't have a good enough efficiency and compatibility with renewable energy's. yeah. especially foldable tax create needs and opportunities and the cultural sector such

as an economist, hydroponic greenhouses, konita, bonia, a. i was doing the irrigation with water from the surrounding air. this won't be a solution for the condos in bill. is monica antonio here and many others are know, try on men goes as they need less water and are more resilient. but all the cato still dominate in the our heart. yeah. for now, it just needs to rain and antonio here is waiting. driving an electric car or even like is environmentally friendly. but only if the electricity comes from renewable energy sources, such as wind or sunshine. portugal has a lot of both. that's one of the small countries of europe to southern most tip couldn't become a role model when it comes to electron mobility. but how does that look and reality? we put the mobility to the test. driving an electric car through portugal. how well

does it work? the country sees itself as an electron mobility by any or i'd like to know what works differently or better here. then for example, in germany, the rental car in opal, monica has a roughly 330 kilometer range. pretty average. the 1st charging station in the evening doesn't work great. the 2nd 1 in the morning is far from the city. center them is pretty slow. the 3rd one is faster. okay, it's now the fast charge it, but at least this charging process works very smoothly. and we will gain some more kilometers until we get a real fast charger. after a bump you start, it turns out that fast chargers are widespread. and often at supermarkets, one thing i really like, i can pay it all, charging stations with a card or an app spontaneously driving long distances is no problem. the arriving in lisbon,

they were already lots of ease on the roads here. people ability seems to be on the right track in portugal. portuguese electric street began in 2009. the government set up an agency to ensure a good start. the goal back then sounds straightforward. which ones pretty well go mean you're probably the 1st country in the world to set up a legal framework for email ability to the point. it started with a pilot project to a charging network at the national level, with one simple goal, making things as easy as possible for a the drivers by letting them use every charging point in portugal. i've installed the spots, as you mean to the assess bullock is to install and portugal insured competition right from the start, operating the charging stations and supplying the electricity are kept separate. this means that electrical power suppliers can also compete. finding a parking space on the street, and there's been almost impossible,

but not for any drivers. they get discounted parking cards. this is also meant to promote e mobility at a local level. using new sylvia and i have a special sticker for which i made 12 zeros a year that lets me park in less than the most expensive zone for this is there's a parking card machine. at the back. you can see the red zone, the most expensive in the money. that's one of the advantages of an easy savings and doesn't do here at the, in portugal, the number of the registrations doubled in 2023. the e b users association gives a simple explanation for the exponential growth, coal systemic kimball coffee with our system, which is based on the standardized bank card like in charge of any charging station, not a single card. ease of use and competition, not a given, and germany has some catching up to do in this area. victor gomez visited the country in 2023 of the car and use the local charging station. this is on low. i

had to download 2 different apps or 2 different stations, and the price was much higher than the portugal stopped before the plug out. and it was all a bit complicated for you all, all complete causes, despite more subsidies, portugal in general, and lisbon in particular, are not perfect. the navy driver notices this when looking for a free charging station, she couldn't find one image city center. it go into a sampling kitting always have to have a plan b cuz the charging station that was free earlier may now be occupied leave because the best are the parking spaces with simple chargers, of course, some ports going by the supervisors. there are some here for normal charging you man for fast charging over the course, and we know that people will leave again quickly. he means this guy will be happy that must have given him particulars, paving the way and what began throughout the you. in mid april, the drivers can now pay at new charging stations with

a credit card and likely more expensive lee. then in portugal, the where the wrong materials for steel or mind, hey, i can cut energy use what spanish farmers will soon be growing and tell e mobility can be driven forward. we've shown you all of this in today's edition of made. the next time the

to each one of them together they create special styles archipelago this take that in the atlantic discovery nature and people. and then lots of the challenges in 15 minutes and d, w. the new will tell you who we are happy that we are boxing

fine. i mean, by, i might just do it and i'm hosting dw, and you've called costs. thanks trace amount because it's actually about now join us as we travel around europe, tracing the history of every day. ok, and that's something right around the world. of course are taking the juicy of stories with a little mystery of drama along the way. but no need to talk about i just had subscribed already. listen to process and we'll take you along to the right side the
