This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “DESERTEC-Map large.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
Description
English: DESERTEC EU-MENA Map: Sketch of possible infrastructure for a sustainable supply of power to Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (EU-MENA) proposed by TREC)

For illustration: The red squares represent the total surfaces needed for solar collectors of Concentrating Solar Thermal Power (CSP) plants to provide the present electricity demands

- for the world (18.000 TWh/a, 300x300 km)

- for Europe (EU 3.200 TWh/a, 125x125 km)

- and for Germany or MENA (Middle East and North Africa, about 600 TWh/a, 55x55 km).

- The square labeled "TRANS-CSP Mix EUMENA 2050" indicates the surface needed for solar collectors to realize DESERTEC in EU-MENA (according to the TRANS-CSP scenario by DLR). This way the needs for seawater desalination and about two-thirds of the rising electricity consumption in the MENA region could be provided and about 17 percent of the European electricity consumption in 2050 (2,940 TWh/a, 120x120 km² in total).

In reality numerous CSP-Plants will be spread in the deserts of EU-MENA and around the globe.


Deutsch: DESERTEC EU-MENA Karte: Skizze einer möglichen Infrastruktur für eine nachhaltige Stromversorgung in Europa, dem Nahen Osten und Nord-Afrika (EU-MENA).

Zur Veranschaulichung: Die durch die roten Quadrate markierten Flächen für Solarkollektoren würden genügen, um in solarthermischen Kraftwerken (CSP) den Strombedarf

- der Welt (18.000 TWh/a, 300x300 km),

- Europas (EU, 3.200 TWh/a, 125x125 km)

- und von Deutschland bzw. MENA (Middle East and North Africa, ca. 600 TWh/a, 55x55 km) zu erzeugen.

- Das Quadrat "TRANS-CSP Mix EUMENA 2050" zeigt die insgesamt benötigte Fläche für Solarkollektoren, um DESERTEC in EU-MENA zu realisieren (entsprechend dem TRANS-CSP Szenario des DLR). Auf diese Weise könnte genügend Energie erzeugt werden, um den Bedarf an Meerwasserentsalzung und zwei Drittel des bis 2050 stark wachsenden Strombedarfs der MENA-Region zu decken sowie etwa 17 Prozent des europäischen Strombedarfs (zusammen 2,940 TWh/a, 120x120 km).

In der Realität werden viele CSP-Kraftwerke über die Wüsten der MENA-Region und der Welt verteilt sein. Die gestrichelten Linien stellen eine zweite Ausbaustufe dar.
