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.
This map image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.

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.
