DESERTEC Concept: Clean power from deserts for a world of 10 billion people Turning a Vision into Reality Friedrich Führ DESERTEC Foundation, Director/Vorstand

Clean Power World – achievable with DESERTEC Within 3000 km from deserts: To more than 90% of world pop clean power from deserts available. HVDC via HVDC super grid to a World with 10 billion People 3000 km Friedrich Führ, Berlin World total demand 2050: 60 PWh/y Scenario: 50% from deserts: 30 PWh/y  collectors for 12,000 GW -el from 450 x 450 km² = 0.55% of all deserts = 1% of useful deserts distributed over “10,000” sites 10% loss 12,000 solar GigaWatt from Deserts

in MENA, including export to Europe and power for desalination in EU-25, and 17% import from MENA By clean power from deserts EU gets clean firm capacity and may win years in the fight against climate change. Thanks to energy efficiency and renewable energies nuclear energy can be phased out completely, and gas and coal largely.

The DESERTEC concept forms the basis of the Desertec Industrial Initiative (DII) Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) companies and the DESERTEC Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding. The objective of this initiative is to analyse and develop the technical, economic, political, social and ecological framework for carbon-free power generation in the deserts of North Africa.
