Millennium Fellowship Project: Desergy
We try to promote solar energy plants integrated with vegetation in desert regions and facilitate community development in the vicinity. our project has three phases. In phase 1, we will conduct solar-vegetation pilot plants in the Sahara desert. In phase 2, we try to combine seawater irrigation and seawater desalination in our project. In phase 3, we will try to settle the political problem and expand the scale of the plant. Also, we will improve the energy transmission so that the energy generated can be used by residents in the regions, and they may run the power plant themselves in the future so that poverty can be mitigated, and food security can be enhanced.
