Challenges for global power supplyuntil 2050:
World population will grow from 7 to 9-10 billion
Poorer countries continue to industrialize
2
2. Rising CO2 emissions cause global warming
Rapid and drastic decarbonization of the power sector isneeded to avoid catastrophic climate change
1. Electricity demand will increase 2.5-fold

Can we provide enough power for 10 billion peopleand still prevent catastrophic climate change?

Solar power from deserts mainly for local demandEurope imports 15% of its power supply from MENA
Together, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle Eastachieve a CO2 reduction of more than 80%

Cooperation between Europe and MENAis a win-win situation
Climate protection due to CO2
reduction
Safe energy supply, independence from oil and gas
Socio-economic development for MENA countries:
− Local development of new, sustainable industries
−Investments and export opportunities
− Technology and knowledge transfer

!The technologies already exist
The politics are challenging CSP not yet competitive with fossil fuels
Need to create favourable legal and regulatory frameworksto encourage investments in a politically fragmented region

China can become a leader in the global marketfor DESERTEC technologies
14
China already is a leader in some of the key technologies:
Photovoltaics
Wind power
Long-distance power transmission (UHVDC)
![Page 15: Desertec Concept](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021114/577d28ce1a28ab4e1ea543bc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

China's deserts could power all of China andsome neighbours (eg. Japan, Korea)
Potential CSP sites in China(Source: Ummel 2010)
The energy potential of chinese deserts is more than enough tocover the future electricity demand of China, Japan and Koreacombined
Long-distance UHVDC transmission can connect Chinesedeserts to the regions of power consumption

The implementation of DESERTEC in East Asiais a win-win opportunity for China and the world
16
Economic benefits for China:
Abundance of clean power for fast growing domestic electricity demand
Improved energy security and independence from imports of fossil fuels
Future export of clean power to Japan and South Korea
Access to a fast growing global market for CSP technology
(e.g. North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East)
Job creation and infrastructure development in Northern and WesternChinese desert provinces
Climate protection for the entire world:Fast decarbonization of Chinese power generation
Fast cost reduction in CSP technology will accelerate globalimplementation of DESERTEC

Next steps:Feasibility studies and policy recommendations
17
The non-profit DESERTEC Foundation proposes scientific studies incollaboration with partners in China:
Prove technical feasibility of the DESERTEC Concept in East Asia
Quantify economic benefits for China and the region
Develop policy recommendations that foster
the fast development of a CSP industry in China
the implementation of the DESERTEC Concept in East Asia
