Desert Power 2050: Regional and sectoral impacts of renewable electricity production in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa

摘要: “Desert Power 2050” is probably the world’s most ambitious strategy report towards decarbonization of power sector in Europe, Middle East and North Africa (EUMENA). The inspired by Desertec vision aims at providing clean energy from MENA’s desert regions to entire MENA region as well exporting electricity Europe. By 2050, Industrial Initiative establishing a system based on 97 percent renewables, dominated wind that accounts for 53 all produced. Solar technologies are expected contribute around 44 percent. This implies install 1 terawatt (TW) renewable capacity, which equivalent today’s installed capacity Most produced will cover growing demand countries up 20 be exported Europe. A transition this magnitude definitively have great economic impact region. Hundreds solar plants need constructed requiring mobilize huge resources may compete with uses other sectors economies. Job opportunities created during construction, operation maintenance phase plants. Moreover, development also mitigation climate change significantly reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions sector. Thus, trade between Europe help achieve Europe’s commitments energy-climate targets set out National Renewable Energy Action Plans. Clearly, such an requires substantial resources. yearly investment whole reaches gradually 10 (around 2030) total In addition, even if potentials ideal ...
