CLIMATE CHANGE: AN ENGINEERED SOLUTION.
Construction Site: Potentially, any area of land 100 metres x 100m
Project Brief: To install two and a half thousand sustainably constructed units, each engineered to provide:
· Neutralisation of greenhouse gases
· Carbon capture
· Diversion of flood water
· Improvements to air quality
· Atmospheric cooling
Each UK manufactured unit shall be entirely solar powered, with a huge array of micro-solar panels able to automatically align themselves to the optimum angle to capture any available solar energy.
The solar panels must also have a function of absorbing harmful greenhouse gases, breaking them down into their constituent parts. These are scrubbed of their damaging constituents and the useful parts are converted into raw materials used for the self-expansion of the unit. Each unit must be capable of removing a minimum of 0.5 tonnes of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere during its service life.
The structure must be designed to intercept rainfall, dispersing it and slowing its passage to flood zones. It must also be installed with a system which extracts water from the soil, further reducing the impacts of flooding. It shall combine this with naturally produced chemicals freely available on-site to produce a non-polluting fuel. A powerful pump must charge the unit with the fuel which is used to silently and efficiently power the entire system.
Exhaust emissions must take the form of an atmospheric coolant and pure oxygen which can be used to sustain all forms of life.
Structures must be capable of reaching up to 35 metres in height. The support system or foundations for each unit (including piling if that option is selected) may not be more than 1.5 metres in depth. Excavations during construction phase shall be no deeper than 300mm.
Budget: Capital expenditure - £2 per unit
Revenue Expenditure - £2 per unit total for the first five years after installation. Maximum £1 per unit total for the remainder of full service life.
Service life: Units must have a maximum useful service life of over 200 years.
Decommissioning: At the end of its service life, each unit is used in the production of raw materials which may be used in the construction of other engineering projects, ensuring prolonged storage of the captured carbon, potentially for hundreds more years. The waste can be utilised in the production of sustainable energy.
Replacement: Before each unit is decommissioned, it must be capable of cloning itself with replacement units at no extra cost.
