Energy highway

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Energy motorway is the name of the project idea to generate electrical energy for electromobility ( cars , trucks and buses ) where it is needed, on the motorway.

The energy required for this could be sustainably obtained from renewable sources (sun and wind) without the necessary expansion of solar and wind power plants colliding with other land uses and with landscape protection .

The idea for this was first developed in 2008 by columnist Martin Unfried . 2010 was the SPD - politician and president of the association " Euro Solar " Hermann Scheer in a study the feasibility of using the example of the A7 motorway investigate.

The study authors identified locations for the lighthouse project where large wind turbines could be set up. There would also be photovoltaic systems . According to the study, the investment volume would amount to 7.5 billion euros.

A similar project will be implemented in Finland by 2016.
