  1. NREA Study Project TRANS-CSP Trans-Mediterranean Interconnection for Concentrating Solar Power (WP05 Environmental Impacts) Project for the Research & Development Programme of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)

  2. WP05 Environmental Impacts Scope: Quantify the environmental impacts resulting from TRANS-CSP scenario and from the infrastructure necessary for solar electricity imports with respect to emissions, land use and local impacts. Result: The TRANS-CSP scenario reduces the negative environmental impacts of power generation to a compatible level. Import solar electricity contributes significantly to environmental compatibility.

  3. 3 Sampled Sites for Solar Electricity Supply from MENA (selected for maximum irradiance, but other criteria possible) Direct Normal Irradiance for CSP in kWh/m²/a. Excluded Sites are White. The primary solar energy resource equals 1 – 2 barrel/m²/y of heating oil

  4. UCTE Grid Light Emissions at Night (NASA) 3 Exemplary Centres of Demand in Europe Population Density in Persons/km² (Landscan)

  5. 3 Analysed Samples for EU-MENA HVDC Interconnection 3 x 5 GW x 7000 h/y= 105 TWh/y

  6. Acceptable Impacts of the HVDC Lines on Landscape

  7. Life Cycle Assessment of Materials and Emissions of Solar Import Electricity CEE Cumulated Energy Expenditure

  8. TRANS-CSP: CO2 Emissions in Europe RUE Rational Use of Energy RES Renewable Energy Systems CCS Carbon Capture & Sequestration Avoided CO2 is calculated with respect to a mix as in the year 2000 including nuclear power

  9. Area for Renewables = 1.1 % = Area used for Roads Status 2050 (The European Transport System occupies 1.2 % of the Land Area)
