MED-CSP: Concentrating Solar Power for the Mediterranean Region

This project aims to develop a sustainable energy supply for the Mediterranean region using concentrating solar power. It includes various work packages focusing on sustainability goals, renewable energy technologies, energy resources, demand analysis, scenario and market strategies, socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The project also promotes equality of access, protection of resources, environmental compatibility, and economic efficiency. International cooperation is emphasized to ensure security of supply and reduce conflicts. Various technology options are considered, including onshore/offshore wind power, geothermal, biomass, hydropower, wave/tidal power, solar thermal electricity, photovoltaic, nuclear fission and fusion, fossil plant efficiency, energy use efficiency, long-distance transmission, and CO2-sequestration.

  2. Guidelines for a sustainable energy supply Equality of access: Equal opportunities in accessing energy resources and energy services shall be assured for all. Protection of resources: The different energy resources shall be maintained for the generations to follow, or there shall be comparable options created to provide sufficient energy services for future generations. Environmental compatibility: The adaptability and the ability for regeneration of natural systems (the “environment”) may not be exceeded by energy-related emissions and waste. Risks for human health – by e.g. an accumulation of problematical pollutants and harmful substances – shall be avoided. Social compatibility: It shall be assured when realising the energy supply systems that all people affected by the system are able to participate in the decision-making processes. The ability of economic players and communities to act and shape may not be restricted by the systems being set up, but rather shall be expanded wherever possible. Error tolerance and low risk: Unavoidable risks and hazards arising from the generation and use of energy shall be minimised and limited in their propagation in space and time. Human errors, improper handling, wilful damage, and incorrect use shall also be taken into consideration in the assessment. Economic efficiency: Energy services shall – in relation to other costs in the economy and of consumption – be made available at acceptable costs. The criterion of “acceptability” refers, on the one hand, to specific costs arising in conjunction with the generation and use of the energy and, on the other hand, to the overall economic costs while taking the external ecological and social costs into consideration as well. Security of supply: The energy required to satisfy the human needs must be available according to the demand and in sufficient quantities, in terms of both time and location. The energy supply must be adequately diversified so as to be able to react to crises and to have sufficient margins for the future and room to expand as required. Efficient and flexible supply systems harmonising efficiently with existing population structures shall be created and maintained. International co-operation: Developing the energy systems shall reduce or eliminate potential conflicts between states due to a shortage of resources and also promote the peaceful co-existence of states by a joint use of capabilities and potentials.
