About the Event: The DESERTEC concept aims to fuel Europe’s power needs by transporting solar energy from the North African desert to Europe. In his presentation, Dr. Knies will describe how implementing the DESERTEC model on a global scale will address the challenges of climate change and energy security. Last year, the European Commission issued a “Blueprint for an integrated European energy network”, which underlined the importance of maximizing interconnections in South Western Europe to accommodate wind, hydro and solar energy. DESERTEC will be a keystone in the development of such an energy network and will contribute to the formation of a smart European Supergrid. About the Speaker: Dr. Knies, is Chairman of DESERTEC and has worked at the University of Berkeley, California, DESY and CERN, the European organisation for nuclear research. Dr. Gerhard Knies is co-founder of the Trans Mediterranean Renewable Energy Cooperation, a network of 50 professionals in renewable energies and sustainability from European, Middle Eastern and North African countries.
