200 years of global industrialization has resulted in an unparalleled standard of living and an increased life expectancy for part of the world’s population. But the price we all pay is an alarming environmental destruction as well as climate change which can no longer be ignored. These things will mean dramatic changes to life on Earth in the future.
But the fact that within the space of six hours, the world‘s deserts receive more energy than all the people in the world consume in a year, the sun offers us a way out. If we manage to use this environmental friendly energy source efficiently, we can guaranty clean fresh water and plenty of electricity for everybody on the Earth. The DESERTEC Concept provides a way to solve these challenges. Check it out here.
