New energies from the Sun: Solar energy may be either used directly as heat, hydrogen or PV or indirectly through hydro, wind, bio-mass and so on. Particular attention is given to the projects on Concentrating Solar Power in Spain where are under active development about 14.3 GigaWatt for electricity production and in the EU27 where promising R&D projects for direct production of solar hydrogen are under experimentation in Almeria and elsewhere. On a longer timetable, the feasibility of so-called “Desertec” — namely the utilization of the vast Sahara desert — will be mentioned.
