Item Focus point: Solar Energy Partnership with Africa : An Inter-disciplinary Research Project(2008) Düren, Michael; Speitkamp, WinfriedIn the summer of 2007 an inter-disciplinary working group was formed at the Justus-Liebig-University to sound out the opportunities and challenges of an energy partnership with Africa. In a series of interdisciplinary lecturesand at a conference in June 2008 this subject was further explored. Additional conferences and workshops, as well as research projects on certain aspects of the subject will follow. Physicists, chemists, geographers, historians,political scientists, economists, and jurists are currently participating. In the following articles several of the participating researchers present questions and possible solutions from their disciplinary perspectives.Item Focus points: Physics - The Future of our Energy Supply : A Scientific Overview(2008) Düren, MichaelWho really wants to sit in the dark, freeze in the winter, and forego modern methods of transportation? Light, heat, refrigeration, machines, and transportation are just a few of the central engineering achievements of oursociety. All of them are only possible because of the constant availability of something that we call energy. In this article, the subject of our society s energy supply will be explored from the scientific point of view in a clearand simply structured way. This examination will lead to a little known and only superficially abstruse idea: Importing electricity from the deserts of Africa.
