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)
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 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
