DII Special guest


Special guest Bertrand Piccard from Solar Impulse

Flying is a dream of mankind which came true. A dream which would be better if we didn´t have to burn fossil fuels to accomplish it.This idea Bertrand Piccard has prescribed. “Nothing is impossible” seems to be Piccard´s credo, who is known for adventures such as his first ever non-stop around-the-world hot-air balloon flight. Consequently ten years ago, faced with the world’s energy challenges, Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg allied around a common yet impossible dream: to fly powered solely by the sun and to prove that progress is possible even with renewable energies. The impossible became possible and for the first time in history an airplane succeeded to fly day and night without any fuel, powered during the 26 hours flight purely by solar energy. To date, Solar Impulse has broken a number of records, the latest in June 2012, when it concluded the world‘s first roundtrip solar-powered intercontinental flight from Switzerland to Morocco.
With this flight to Morocco, a country which is currently investing
quite considerably in renewable energy and where Dii plans the implementation of its first Reference Project ,Bertrand Piccard highlighted the importance of a shift to - Special guest : Bertrand Piccard from Solar Impulse Site Visit to Max Planck Society (Fritz-Haber-Institut ) With more than 100 years of Nobel Prize-winning physics and chemistry research: the Fritz Haber Institute is the oldest
Max Planck Society’ science research institute. It comprises
five departments: Anorganic chemistry, Chemical physics, Molecular physics, Physical chemistry and Theory. Professor Robert Schlögl will hold a welcome speech and guide us through the institute and provide us with an insight into the different research topics including, among others, the field of renewable energy technology and energy efficiency.

wards a sustainable energy supply in the Mediterranean region using the desert´s energy potential Bertrand Piccard’s message: “Today’s technologies – if only governments had the courage to promote them on a massive scale – would allow us to significantly reduce our dependence on fossil energies. It’s not only the environment that would be a winner. Job creation and purchasing power would also benefit from opening up these fascinating development perspectives ” Two pioneers and innovators, both pilots, Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg are inventing the future and placing the dream and the excitement at the heart of a scientific adventure.We are proud to present Bertrand Piccard as special guest at the 3rd Dii DESERT ENERGY CONFERENCE. He will give us insight in the visionary project “Solar Impulse” and
show the possibilities of solar energy. Let’s get inspired
