Desertec Industrial Initiative (Dii) was launched in 2009 as a market enabler in Germany for exploring the potential of renewables in the desert areas of Northern Africa and the Middle East, improving market conditions and examining the synergies to be captured through connecting the European and MENA energy markets. As the MENA countries and their energy markets have migrated rapidly, Dii has reinvented itself about every three years. Dii International Industrial Initiative started with a ‘Desertec1.0’ vision and moved from Germany to Dubai in 2015 to focus on the MENA region itself (Desertec2.0). Today, we arrived at Desertec 3.0, which aims at reaching emission free energy value chains from flexible demand, storage, transport, green electrons (power) generation and conversion to ‘green molecules’ (e.g. Hydrogen, ammonia and other synthetic ‘green’ products) and the transport of ‘green electrons’ in the MENA region and supporting MENA to become a net exporter of green electrons and green molecules to the world markets. Thus, the original idea of ‘power from MENA to Europe’ has been broadened both geographically and product wise with benefits for the MENA region in the center.
