The Sahara Forest Project
The objective of the Sahara Forest Project Team is to develop and deploy an integrated, large-scale system for production of freshwater, energy, biomass and ecosystem services on a significant scale.
The inputs are simple: Nutrients, sunlight and seawater.
The first stage of the project is to establish a Sahara Forest Demonstration Centre in order to provide a platform for international coorporation on innovation and development and pave the way for a large-scale roll-out of restorative agriculture and security of energy supply.
The processes integrated into the Sahara Forest Project will work optimally under sunny and arid conditions. The unique benefit of the system arises synergistically from the integration of proven technologies, such as: The Seawater Greenhouse, Concentrated Solar Power and the extraction of nutrients from seawater.
The team behind The Sahara Forest Project comprises award-winning experts from Exploration Architecture, Seawater Greenhouse Ltd, Max Fordham Consulting Engineers and The Bellona Foundation.
