the port of s p a here in denmark is the most important in europe for offshore wind, massive turbans like the ones here behind me are shipped from here to the rest of the world, making the port a hub worldwide for wind energy. now the countries who were present here at the summit, denmark, germany, belgium, and the netherlands, plus the u. ones to push for the further development of offshore wind. here in the region, they made a joint pledge to build up to 150 gigawatts of offshore wind in the north sea until 2050. that is a massive tenfold increase compared to the base capacity. they also pledge to work jointly on these infrastructure projects, making it the 1st step towards truly european energy plans. the need to become quickly independent from russian energy has made the drive for offshore wind, even more pressing. as has the need to tackle the rising energy prices and the ambition to reach the climate goals, which are yes ambitious, but also crucial. julia suddenly reporting that now to football and wednesday nights, so a thrilling conclusion to the europe believe with an fact f

but there was insistence, drum, denmark, denmark, and the entire european union strongly condemned russia's unlawful and unprovoked invasion of ukraine. my message is very clear, poochie has got to stop this war and to end the killings. i of course hope that india will influence russia also in this, in this discussion. c when robin still more be in his last destination was in battle. he met madam micron. recently he read as president of trans. but even in his meeting, where the french president, it seemed that there was pressure on the movie to criticize russia, to criticize and fusing all of you. but there was no meant to be about marshall. and there was no mention whatsoever about business. in fact, them to be insisted that india has $44.00, be in your free and once an immediate session off the violence in the heart of your up. at the same time, mister movie has also insisted that india has a strategic partnership with my school. it has, you know, shared propagation on trade, especially in your, by most of it's and admission wrong must school while be, while the indian prime minister main

o of green power, denmark in copenhagen. welcome to d w. if the a you have a target of ditching russian fossil fuels within 5 year, how much of that gap do you expect will be filled by wind energy? i think that must be the majority of the gap because wind energy is the only source that is large enough and cost effective enough to good scale into what is needed right now in the plan today. percent about the north sea and the offshore when there is a huge step forward to get european independence from russian gas. so i like to commend the prime ministers of germany, belgium lens and denmark for taking this. did we need this and we need even more to get independence from russia. it's extraordinary. i would say we have known for decades, we've all known every school child will tell us that we have to win ourselves off of fossil fuels. we have to make this transition to renewables. why is it taken a war in ukraine for the a you to take this seriously? well, sometimes when you need to act on problems, they need to be right in your face. and they

but that set to change a germany belgium, the netherlands and denmark of all just announced plans to expand offshore wind capacity in the north sea massively to create a green power plant for europe. we want to increase our total offshore, wind capacity fall, fall by 203010 fold by 2050. and we need that for 2 reasons. one is to tackle climate change, or we're working heart with in europe to make our energy supply sustainable. but secondly, because of the russian invasion in ukraine. first of all, it's driving down energy prices. and in times like these, i think it is very important to show the potential that we have to drive the price is now 2nd element there reduces future emissions. this is a goal that we have said as a european, as european union than the not the north sea is the place where we can have large scale generation of electricity in offshore wind parks, in the large capacities that we need. and we can do that in a way which is cost effective today. is it the pitcher please? or germany's economy and climate minister robot hardback was also at that meeting. as being with

does not matter which will help comes in, in neighboring denmark. it's deep pocketed energy companies who operate bio gas plants, bio methane, is pumped directly into a nation wide pipeline network, thereby replacing natural gas imports. farmers sell their organic waste, such as flurry and manure to bio gas producers and earned money doing so. in contrast with germany, the centralized bio gas plants produced by o me thing more economically. dozens of types of organic industrial waste are used and far fewer energy crop, such as corn. as we add the potential of making full times as much as we do to day to day, my address is 25 percent of the danger guess consumption. so make the photos voids 100 percent. so we can do supporter all need for gas and and more there's just too much red tape. according to german bio gas producers saying it holds them back from making a contribution towards germany's independence from russia, gas. us all from an a business team here in berlin, if anyone, mo, from israeli, can always head over to our website to see, to be do

and the main focus is on renewable energy. germany, belgium, the netherlands, and denmark of all pledged to produce more wind power in the north sea. this is among the ways europe plans to create more home grown energy through enormous offshore wind projects in the north sea. in denmark, representatives met from the european commission and the north sea countries to discuss forging a new path forward. the big reason is that we have to expend the offshore wind industry all over the north sea that we have to connect each other that we can make it come business out of it. and we understand that this smell did time for industrialization. the declaration of intent will soon be followed by concrete projects. concern for the environment is one incentive, but europe also wants to rid itself of dependence on russian oil and gas as quickly as possible. the european commissioners explained how it will work. the re power e u plans are a mix of ideas and concrete regulatory proposals. one of the most important points, speeding up the approval process. veneta re doke about topic deployment. a few of u

and the good example of that was just last week at one of our facilities in denmark for prime ministers from the north sea, announced a $150.00 gigawatts of additional offshore wind. as a consequence off off the invasion of ukraine, i've talked to many experts here who believe that ukraine has a big role to play in renewables. could you tell me more about that? ukraine has absolutely all the renewable resources that one could result. there is a wind built going through ukraine that could power all of your if, if you can put mine in mind to it. so i think that should be one of their focus areas. once we get back to, to a normal situation that for you credential, harvest those resources, i mean absolutely phenomenal. what would ukraine need to do that? i believe it would involve a huge financial investment. it was already on that path before the war broke out, and renewable development was moving fast in ukraine, simply because the economic stacks up with that type of wind resources. and the fact that level of cost of energy for wind has become so low and no subsidies needed. you could ju

see, that's where the u has committed itself at a meeting in denmark yesterday. to go rush into overdrive it's upping its targets. it really wants to make energy independence from russia. also a fast track into c o 2 neutral fuels. and so there's a green aspect behind that as well. and that is that strategic outlook. and what we still are to learn is where the debate will go on that proposal that is still somewhat hanging in the air here in germany. and in europe over whether there could be a europe of different speed sparked by that case of ukraine. the different speeds, debate being decades old, but ukraine of course, war on the european continent really shocking european leaders into action. so i think it's a long way still until the end of may to see what proposals will be put on the table there. we will see what happens d w as chief political editor, mika, inner christner. thank you. turning to the situation on the ground in ukraine. now russia says that nearly a 1000 ukrainian fighters at the as of style still works in mario pull, have now surrendered. most
