The EnergyScape
- 1. Science for energy, energy for science An introduction to the renewable EnergyScape
- 5. The energy transition In 1980, the term Energiewende was first used in a study of the Öko- Institut. Since then, several policies were installed to follow the idea of a decarbonized energy system. This includes among others the support of the development of renewable energy and associated technologies, efficiency actions, renewable fuels, reduced import independence from fossil fuels, rural development, the decrease of long-term economic costs in kind of external effects, and R&D. Quoted from: Horschig and Thrän, 2017. DOI 10.1186/s13705-017-0107-2

- 14. Some key points: • Growing investments, especially in developing countries • Most invested in solar, followed by wind • Efficiency on agenda • But still long way to go Will is there, but... • Fossil fuels still cheap • Risk is a barrier • Infrastructure must change • Need integrated approach

- Desertec project (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wene.222/full) http://www.desertec.org/ “Bringing six billion poor people to clean prosperity and clean up the rich of 1.2 billion. In our perspective the key to decarbonize the world and fight global warming is the desert – in only six hours deserts receive as much energy from the sun as humankind consumes in a whole year. Therefore we have to purposefully exploit the potential of deserts. All types of renewable energies are part of the DESERTEC Vision, as well as the decentralized utilization of renewable energies. Due to the already technically realized transport of electric current over distances of 3,000 km, the wealth of the prosperous part of the world can be carbon dioxide neutralized and shaped sustainably. 90 percent of humanity lives less than 3,000 km away from a desert and desert power can be a magnificent supplement to the regional energy mixes of energy gained from water, wind, geothermal and photovoltaics. DESERTEC wants to be the engine and drive for this world-wide development and change. A world-wide energy transition that supports wealth everywhere might probably be the biggest peace project in the history of humankind. “
