DESERTEC Industrial Initiative
DESERTEC Foundation
Clean Power from Deserts
STATUTES
Preamble Climate change and energy shortage are among the greatest challenges to mankind!
Time is scarce for taking countermeasures. The Foundation seeks to contribute to this challenge by expediting the use of renewable energies. The goal is the world-wide timely transition to renewable energies. The DESERTEC Concept1 developed by the Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Cooperation (TREC) shall be the working basis of the Foundation. The purpose of the Foundation shall – within the scope of the global DESERTEC network – be the promotion of building a sustainable, sufficient and low-cost energy supply by producing renewable energies in sunny desert areas and by transferring them into the regions of demand. The use of solar energy is given special emphasis here; however, wind energy and all other forms of renewables shall be used in this context as well. Access to clean energy is the prerequesite for climate protection, the provision of drinking water and, ultimately, for maintaining peace. Peace, after all, is increasingly imperiled due to climate change as well as energy and water shortages. The Foundation shall contri-bute to overcoming the obstacles on the way towards an adequate sustainable ener-gy supply and to realizing the transition to a CO2-free and sustainable energy supply in terms of time according to climate security requirements
