1912 first installed parabolic
trough collector by Shuman in
Meadi, Egypt (produced the
equivalent of 55 horsepower)
Shuman planned to install no
less than 20,250 square miles
of reflectors in the Sahara
World War I and the discovery
of new oil fields stopped his
plans
Frank Shuman (pioneer in applying parabolic trough technology in desert):
'One thing I am sure of and that is that the human race must finally
utilize direct sun power or revert to barbarism'
Plans to produce power in the desert
are not new
Solar history

Three major challenges
How to harness this potential in
an economically viable way?
How to integrate desert RE into
MENA and EU markets?
How to ensure that the MENA
countries will benefit
(e.g., industrialization,
knowledge transfer)?
Renewable potential will exceed the growing
energy demand in MENA and EU

Desertec concept makes use of renewable
energy resources from deserts
Broad reach
>90 % of the world‘s population living less
than 3,000 km away from deserts and
thus could be supplied with solar power
Holistic approach
Integration into interconnected power
markets
Alignment with EU and MENA government
initiatives on energy and climate protection
(such as MSP, TRANSGREEN, etc.)
Indirect benefits
Consideration of socio-economic
developments and spill over effects
Rollout potential
Future extensions to water supply,
growing biomass, etc.
A basic idea...
Make use of renewable (mainly solar and
wind) energy from deserts, the biggest
energy resource available on earth
... with compelling benefits

Desertec Industrial Initiative (Dii) was founded on
July 13, 2009 in Munich - Siemens among the founders

Dii to create conditions for a gradual use of
energy from the MENA deserts
Pave the way for the Desertec
concept
Long-term target of the Desertec
concept: Cover a substantial part of
the MENA electricity demand and
15% of the European demand by 2050
Focus on MENA region
Timeline: Three years
Dii was founded in October 2009 as
private sector initiative by 12 industrial
companies and the Desertec
foundation
In March 2010, four additional
shareholders joined Dii
Broad and diverse international
expertise throughout EUMENA

Bridge the gap between costs of renewables and
market prices until competitiveness is achieved
Create broad acceptance in MENA countries and establish
favourable conditions for large scale investments
Power grids and markets to facilitate connection of
major power sources and demand areas in EUMENA
1. Stimulation
3. Investment conditions
2. Markets / Grids
Optimal split between local and
EU consumption to be
determined
Dii faces three major challenges
