Researchers imagine it might be possible to transform the world’s largest desert, the Sahara, into a giant solar farm, capable of meeting four times the world’s current energy demand..
On average, the desert receives 3,600 hours of sunlight annually, presenting significant potential for harnessing solar energy..
According to Forbes, solar panels covering a surface of around 335km2 – that’s just 1.2% of the Sahara – would generate enough energy to power the entire world. [pdf]
China’s government launched its desert renewable energy project at the end of 2021, and it has big plans – in total, it intends to install 100 GW of solar and wind capacity in arid areas that cover. .

China launched its first phase comprising 100-gigawatt total wind and solar power capacity in the desert areas by the end of 2021, which covers 19 provinces nationwide, as the country has been prom. .
China just connected its largest single-capacity solar farm built on a former coal mining area, which is in the Gobi Desert, to the grid..
China continues its relentless expansion of solar power capacity, now home to the world’s largest solar plant. The 2.2 gigawatt facility spans an area of over 25 square kilometers in the Gobi desert. [pdf]
