6 FAQs about [Sahara solar power project]

What is the Sahara solar breeder project?

The Sahara Solar Breeder Project is a joint initiative by universities in Japan and Algeria that aims to build enough solar power stations by 2050 to supply 50 per cent of the energy used by humanity.

Will the Sahara get solar power?

The Algerian-Japanese effort is by no means alone in targeting the Sahara for solar power. The Desertec Foundation, set up last year to promote “clean power from deserts”, also aims to generate solar power in the region. Desertec has a more modest goal – it is dedicated to supplying only 15 per cent of Europe’s electricity by 2050.

Could the Sahara Desert help solar power 'breed'?

Life might take a hammering on the sun’s earthly anvil, the Sahara desert, but the two most abundant resources the desert has to offer – sunlight and sand – could help solar power to “breed” and thrive there.

Can the Sahara become the world's biggest power station?

To turn the world’s biggest desert into the world’s biggest power station the Sahara Solar Breeder Project aims to take advantage of two resources that are found in abundance in the Sahara – silica and sunlight. However, to make such an ambitious plan a reality there are more than a few hurdles that will need to be overcome.

Could large solar farms in the Sahara Desert redistribute solar power?

Large solar farms in the Sahara Desert could redistribute solar power generation potential locally as well as globally through disturbance of large-scale atmospheric teleconnections, according to simulations with an Earth system model.

Does DESERTEC use Sahara sand for its solar panels?

Nor does Desertec plan to use Sahara sand for its solar panels. Desertec hails the new breeder project as “a positive contribution towards climate protection”. However, a spokesman said he was puzzled over the choice of energy delivery by the new scheme.
