Paul van Son: Hydrogen from the Desert - is it possible?

Turning deserts into the world’s green powerhouse – this is an idea
the Desertec Industrial Initiative (DII) has been promoting since
2009. Since then DII has gone through different stages of not only
enabling a transition into renewables for Middle Eastern and North
African regions, but also to provide other regions, Europe in
particular, with clean energy. Paul van Son, President of DII,
walks David Wortmann through the key takeaways and lessons learned
from 10 years of clean energy from the desert and finally the
re-invention of DII as an enabler of green hydrogen from the
desert. You will learn: - how the Desertec Industrial Initiative
came into being - what stages DII went through and what drove the
change - what DII plans to focus on in the coming years - what are
the key lessons of driving a large industrial consortium
