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.

MENA (selected for maximum irradiance, but other
criteria possible)
Direct Normal Irradiance for CSP in kWh/m²/a.
Excluded Sites are White.
