Abstract
Description
Attorney Ref.4716-2-POASYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCTION SUPPLY AND CONSUMPTION OF GOODS CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.63 / 661,311 filed June 18, 2024. The disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference. FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure relates to novel general purpose systems in the areas of production, supply, and consumption of goods and services in the context of the current state of technology, volatility in multiple dimensions, and the markets. BACKGROUND
[0003] The concept of general purpose technologies is well understood. General purpose systems, as with time modular systems and economics have yet to be described in the art or deployed in practice. A general purpose system is a system formed from multiple general purpose technologies and non-general purpose technologies wherein the system as a whole has a similar but broader socio-economic effect than any single general purpose technologies.
[0004] Cities are beset by ever expanding risks, driven by their markets, products and services, system designs, positioning, and behaviors. Adaptation is not effectively factored into any plans yet. Cities’ economies cannot run or grow on renewable energy without massive additions of equipment and transmission. Electricity and hydrogen are carriers not primer movers.
[0005] Today’s systems rely on one prime mover - natural gas - and marine diesel for society to function, especially urban economic centers. The primary challenge or objective is supplying sufficient clean energy and goods, services, and traffic flow intensity in cities to maintain the economic growth and asset returns delivered by natural gas and transport fuels. Twenty cities in the United States (US) account for over 50% of US gross domestic product (GDP) and they are all powered and heated by natural gas either directly or indirectly. The US Northeast, Los Angeles, and San Francisco are each aAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA window into the future of demand intensity (Joules and $ per meter squared), how it is supplied with 20th century legacy systems, and how such megacities are fodder for networked pandemic and supply risk or extreme climate risk. New England natural gas electricity supply grew by 300% since 2000 (if including heating this is much worse). Renewables grew by 30% (source: New England Independent System Operator (NEISO)).
[0006] Adaptation and future infrastructure must pay for itself as part of the economic growth and limit the incurred debt of large scale public works through modular rapid install systems and economic use of the structures. Many areas are already in a state of volatile and intersystem emergence which is unaddressed or addressable by current plans. Water, food, flooding, drought, wildfires, sea level rise are all accelerating their interconnected frequency and effects.
[0007] The challenge is to flip the dynamics of Natural Gas and its place in the system which may only be achievable by the invention and introduction of new general purpose systems to leverage extant and future general purpose technologies and accelerate their beneficial effects.
[0008] A critical element of a general purpose system may be to address the form and function of energy-industrial-consumption systems and their applications and optimization in modular combined system architectures. Modular systems are poorly understood in the business and economic art, which usually mistake platform systems modular component standards description for a modular system (Harvard Business School, National Bureau of Economic Research and the like). Modern modular compact production and energy technologies may have the capability to constitute novel general purpose systems unlike any a prior supply system in nature, form, and function.
[0009] Current energy-industrial systems are designed separately in a plant and factory architecture with multiple stages in the supply and mark-up (the increase in cost to price in each step) chains. State of the art energy, processing, and production technologies have advanced in form and function to a point where the plant or factory architecture is ineffective at optimizing the use of modular energy-production systems and yielding the economic andAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA environmental results that the modern systems are capable of. State of the art integrated systems and subsystems designs and architectures that effectively employ the new technological capabilities in general purpose systems do not exist today.
[0010] It is desirable to have a global system design and expandable architecture that utilizes the new state of production and management / processing technologies in a more optimized manner that leverages the technological capabilities of new systems and market architectures to allow higher and more democratized distribution of system return on investment (ROI), and reduction of the effects of the system on both natural and manmade volatility and manmade waste streams. It is further desirable to limit the human consumption / production footprint and its effect on the environment to the built environment and the point of natural resource extraction. Accordingly, a need exists in the art to improve upon integrated systems and subsystems. SUMMARY

[0092] The present disclosure provides a global consumption and supply system inclusive of sub-systems which may be deployed in whole or in part to localize, minimize, and optimize supply of consumed products and the utilization of the energy sources at or close to the point of consumption. Processing and production technologies are planned with and used in combination with energy sources.
[0093] Geospatial-supply-consumption built environment development systems and processes of system-population development are provided. The systems and processes may achieve optimization by stage identification and segmentation of traffic and flux opportunities including systemization and optimization of built environment, product, energy, and economic development.
[0094] A global modular energy and production (goods and services) system is disclosed where the process and granular control of demand and consumption may be fully integrated into the system layers and allowed state knowledge of various parts of the system. This is useful inAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA controlling the system behavior in multiple dimensions of import. This system is comprised of: demand layers such as a moving picture experts group (MPEG) / interactive television (ITV) interface or an internet / interactive interface or a layer integrated physical point of purchase interface, the payment layers, production layers, and the distribution / fulfillment layers, collection layers for reprocessing of consumption waste streams at various levels in the systems.
[0095] A modular energy and production system used in the global system or independently is provided. The system may allow stable high intensity supply and granular control of the waste products of the supply through the manufacture of synthetics wherein: 1) A natural gas energy system wherein the CO2 waste may be captured through the manufacture of synthetic goods; 2) The system may be supplied with synthetic fuels which may be made from clean energy sources and carbon and hydrogen from atmospheric fluids (water and air) such as by methods known in the art; and 3) The synthetic fuels may be burned in natural gas system with the carbon capture and manufacture system transferring the carbon from the synthetic fuel waste stream into synthetic products, thereby creating a system capable of removing carbon from the atmospheric fluids in a profitable manufacturing process and may endow the ability to control the parts per million content of the atmosphere over time. The system therefore effectively transfers carbon to synthetic products as compared to storing it or transferring it as a feedstock.
[0096] A carbon (or other waste stream) capture and manufacture system is provided wherein the CO2 or other capture process may constitute a multidimensional filter for the collection of the waste in direct manufacturing processes of a profitable or useful synthetic product comprised of feedstocks from one or more waste streams or in combination with extracted materials.
[0097] A system of waste capture and manufacture processes are disclosed which may use one or combined means of the capture including chemical, thermal, electromagnetic, enzymatic, and the like processes or any combination thereof, in which the manufacturing process replaces the filters orAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA other non-productive means of collection of the waste product of interest, turning the capture from a sunk cost to a productive purpose.
[0098] With initial reference to FIG.1, an example general purpose system comprised of general purpose sub-systems comprised of general purpose and non-general purpose modular technologies is shown. The system manages production and consumption as mobile inventories through energy-production and universal product general systems and predictive recursive analysis for optimization of allocation for utilization and return on investment (ROI). The general purpose productive-consumptive system 1a is comprised of: general purpose energy-production system 1b, and the general purpose universal product system 1c. An exemplary package of sub-systems is identified at 1d.
[0099] With particular reference now to FIG.2, the general purpose productive-consumptive digital-physical system architecture will be further described. The primary system layers and functions may be grouped into the following layers for application in the standardization and design of the necessary systems and subsystems that comprise the global system. The exemplary digital-physical layer architecture for a general purpose productive- consumptive system shown in FIG. 2 allows the system to be managed and optimized across the product creation, product production and consumption, and protection and correction chains. The architecture allows integration of multiple dimensions in industry, information, and infrastructure to be optimized by means of performance data collection and analysis through n-dimensional topographies that may be studied under deformation through time to predict future states (trends) and optimize allocation of the physical systems. Data centers and hubs are considered a physical system, as are the digital networks (HFC, WIFI, media servers, and the like) display, and interface devices. The interfaces through which these systems interact with the system users and the analytical systems that inform prediction and merchandising decision making are the digital elements of the system. The architecture may adapt over time or take similar forms while performing the same functions and using the same methods or the nth generation of methods under the recursive optimization methods. The architectures for productive-consumptive systemsAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA can be generalized into the above categories and perform most economic functions of the current market architecture (excluding financial markets). The specific organizational form of this architecture may vary and still be the same system in function.

[0165] FIG. 43 is an exemplary flow chart showing biomass and waste based and seawater to fuel and synthetic chemical pathways according to additional features of the present disclosure. The following section pertains to integrated systems and methods for transforming carbon-containing waste streams—derived primarily from industrial and biological exhausts—into valuable chemical compounds, fuels, construction materials, and specialty polymers, thereby enabling a circular carbon economy. More specifically, the present disclosure enables the utilization of carbon dioxide (CO₂), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hydrocarbon-rich effluents as feedstocks for the synthesis of platform chemicals, bio-derived monomers, and engineered minerals that not only substitute conventional fossil-derived products but also permanently sequester atmospheric carbon in structural or functional materials.
[0166] In various embodiments, waste carbon is harnessed through thermochemical, electrochemical, enzymatic, and biological conversion pathways, with critical processes including the Sabatier reaction, Fischer– Tropsch synthesis, methanol-to-olefins (MTO), pyrolysis of plastics, fermentation of sugars, and catalytic valorization of ethylene glycol and succinic acid. These pathways collectively enable the synthesis of monomers such as 1,3-propanediol (PDO), ethylene glycol, and 1,4-butanediol, whichAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA serve as intermediates for polyesters, polyether ketones, acrylonitrile– butadiene–styrene (ABS), and charge-transfer salts—materials of strategic importance for additive manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, and biopolymer applications.
[0167] In parallel, the section encompasses mineralization-based CO₂ sequestration technologies. These include biologically, electrochemically, and thermochemically accelerated accretion of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) from aqueous CO₂ sources and gaseous emissions. Sources of calcium may be extracted from naturally abundant or waste-derived feedstocks such as steel slag, basalt, seawater, shellfish biomass, and even poultry waste. The resulting CaCO₃ may be processed into engineered stone, construction panels, tiles, and other carbon-negative architectural elements.
[0168] In its most comprehensive form, the invention envisions a modular, containerized, and digitally controlled platform capable of off-grid deployment and hybridized energy sourcing—including solar, wind, geothermal, and small nuclear—to facilitate distributed chemical manufacturing and mineralization. The system architecture is designed for flexible integration of feedstock inputs and product outputs, enabling synergistic operation of synthetic natural gas production, renewable monomer synthesis, and engineered carbon sequestration. This cross-disciplinary approach maximizes carbon circularity, enhances industrial resource efficiency, and contributes to climate-positive infrastructure and materials development.
[0169] The present teachings provide waste streams to fuels and resulting chemical pathways. In embodiments, the gases of interest may be utilized as feedstock to produce other compounds as detailed below to produce a variety of compounds resulting in circular loops wherein the carbon in the fluid streams can be extracted and re-processed into products serving purpose of long-term Carbon storage as well. In embodiments, PDO may be used for the production of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), widely used as fabrics in carpets, textiles, thermoplastics and non-woven fabrics, may be combined with other natural or artificial fibers to create fabrics. In embodiments, the polyesters, copolyesters and polymers derived from theAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA PDO obtained in the fashion detailed above, maybe be turned into threads of varying diameters and may be combined with other chemical reagents to color them (43d). In embodiments, the polymers formed using 1,3 Propanediol may be thermally cracked in the presence of a variety of catalysts not limited to FCC, amorphous silica-alumina, mordenite etc. to obtain butane or benzene of varying purity (43j). In embodiments, the butane or benzene thus obtained may be used to produce maleic anhydride via vapor phase oxidation in the presence of catalysts not limited to vanadium phosphorus -oxides etc. (43j). In embodiments, the maleic anhydride thus obtained may be used to produce maleic acid or malic acid via hydrolysis and double hydration respectively. The resulting maleic acid and malic acid may be run through pathways detailed above (43b). In embodiments, the cinnamic acid produced from the knoevenagel condensation of malonic acid may be used as artificial colorant including but not limited to indigo and other such colors.
[0170] The present disclosure further contemplates the production of succinic acid and specialty diols from ethylene glycol. In some embodiments, ethylene glycol (HO–CH₂–CH₂–OH) may serve as a bio-based precursor for the production of succinic acid (SA) through a double carbonylation reaction, wherein ethylene glycol is reacted with two equivalents of carbon monoxide (CO) to yield succinic acid.
[0171] 2CO + HO–CH₂–CH₂–OH → HOOC–CH₂–CH₂–COOH
[0172] This transformation may be catalyzed using palladium-based systems under pressurized CO and acidic aqueous or organic solvent conditions. The resulting succinic acid may then be processed via two alternative routes.
[0173] Hydrogenation Pathway:
[0174] Succinic acid may be hydrogenated in the presence of metal catalysts (e.g., Ru / C, Pd / C, or Ni-based systems) and excess hydrogen to form 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO):
[0175] SA + 4H₂ → HO–(CH₂)₄–OH + 2H₂O
[0176] 1,4-BDO is a versatile industrial diol used in polyester synthesis, urethane elastomers, and solvents.Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0177] Esterification and Cyclization Pathway. Alternatively, succinic acid may be esterified with ethanol (EtOH) to form diethyl succinate, a valuable intermediate. This diester may undergo cyclization and subsequent hydrogenation, producing specialty cyclic diols such as 1,4-cyclohexanediol, which finds applications in the synthesis of thermoplastics, coatings, and fine chemicals.
[0178] This sequence may enable the valorization of ethylene glycol, a compound accessible via ethylene oxide hydration or as a byproduct in biomass processing, into high-value monomers and intermediates for the materials and chemical sectors, further supporting sustainable carbon transformation pipelines (43i).
[0179] In some embodiments, simple sugars such as glucose and sucrose may be fermented by engineered microbial strains, including Escherichia coli and Clostridium species, to yield bio-based succinic acid. This biotechnological route offers a renewable and low-carbon alternative to petrochemical synthesis or double carbonylation of ethylene glycol, as previously described. The resulting succinic acid may serve as a platform intermediate for downstream hydrogenation to 1,4-butanediol or esterification to diethyl succinate, enabling access to specialty diols and cyclic compounds (43k).
[0180] Beyond its role as a chemical precursor, succinic acid may also be directly utilized in non-structural applications across multiple industries. In the food and beverage sector, it functions as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer. In the pharmaceutical industry, succinic acid and its derivatives—such as succinate salts—are used for formulation stabilization and controlled drug release. In cosmetic formulations, succinic acid serves as a pH regulator, chelating agent, and skin-conditioning compound, demonstrating its versatility beyond industrial polymer synthesis (43k).
[0181] The present disclosure provides synthesis of high performance aerospace polymers from MTO and FT aromatic streams. In some embodiments, high-performance aerospace-grade polymers may be synthesized from aromatic feedstocks derived from methanol-to-olefins (MTO) or Fischer–Tropsch (FT) processes, wherein the underlying syngas (CO + H₂)Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA is generated from atmospheric carbon sources or captured CO₂. These syngas-based conversion routes yield aromatic intermediates suitable for the synthesis of high-performance engineering resins. Specifically, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and polyether ketone ketone (PEKK) may be synthesized via step-growth polycondensation of hydroquinone and 4,4′- difluorobenzophenone, conducted at elevated temperatures ranging from 320°C to 360°C under reduced pressure. The polymerization process yields linear, semi-crystalline aromatic ketones with tensile strength values of ≥90 MPa, and high thermal and chemical resistance suitable for extreme mechanical environments. The resulting molten polymer resin may be extruded into filaments of 1.75 mm diameter, forming a feedstock compatible with high-temperature fused-filament fabrication (FFF) and selective laser sintering (SLS) platforms. These filaments are particularly suited for the additive manufacturing of structural aerospace components, such as airframe brackets, cable guides, and interior mounting fixtures, where mechanical strength, weight savings, and thermal endurance are mission-critical.
[0182] The present disclosure provides synthesis and integration of organic charge-transfer (CT) salts for flexible electronics. In some embodiments, organic charge-transfer (CT) salts may be synthesized from aromatic precursors derived via the methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process, particularly through aromatic hydrocarbon generation on HZSM-5 zeolite catalysts. These aromatics, including benzene and substituted benzenes, serve as key building blocks for advanced organic semiconductors (43l, 43a). In one pathway, benzene may be subjected to electrophilic nitration, followed by catalytic hydrogenation, yielding aniline (phenylamine). The resulting aniline can then undergo condensation with glyoxal to form a diaminopyrazine intermediate, which, after sulfurization and oxidative dimerization, yields an aza-tetrathiafulvalene (aza-TTF) — a nitrogen- and sulfur-containing electron donor known for its tunable redox properties and emerging role in molecular electronics.
[0183] In a separate pathway, p-benzoquinone may be condensed with malononitrile under basic conditions (e.g., NaOH or DBU) to yield tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), a highly conjugated and electron-deficientAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA acceptor. Upon preparation, equimolar quantities of aza-tetrathiafulvalene (aza-TTF) and TCNQ may be co-dissolved in polar aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile and subjected to controlled crystallization via slow cooling. This process results in the formation of aza-TTF–TCNQ charge-transfer (CT) salts, composed of stacked donor–acceptor π-complexes. These crystalline assemblies exhibit anisotropic electrical conductivities up to ~10³ S / cm, making them promising candidates for integration into flexible and printable electronics platforms (43l, 43a).
[0184] In subsequent embodiments, the aza-TTF–TCNQ CT salts may be incorporated into thin-film device architectures using deposition techniques such as inkjet printing, microdroplet delivery, or drop-casting onto polymer substrates including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyimide (PI). Following deposition, the films may be thermally annealed at moderate temperatures (50–80^°C) to facilitate molecular reordering, interfacial alignment, and crystalline domain growth — all of which enhance carrier mobility and overall device performance. These CT salt films are well-suited for application in low-power, flexible electronics, including wearable biosensors, e-textiles, and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs).
[0185] The present disclosure provides synthesis of ABS feedstocks for powder-bed and fused-filament additive manufacturing. In some embodiments, acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) feedstocks may be synthesized via emulsion polymerization, wherein propylene-derived acrylonitrile, styrene, and butadiene monomers are copolymerized at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 80°C. The emulsion polymerization process may be conducted in the presence of surfactants and radical initiators to yield a stable latex containing ABS copolymer particles. Upon completion of polymerization, the latex may be coagulated, followed by spray-drying to produce free-flowing powder particles (43j).
[0186] The resulting ABS powders may be tailored for powder-bed fusion (PBF) or fused-filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing techniques. In particular, particle morphology, flowability, and thermal behavior may be optimized by adjusting the surfactant concentration, which governs interfacial tension during latex formation, and by controlling the cooling rate during sprayAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA drying, which affects particle sphericity, crystallinity, and sintering profile. These processing variables may be finely tuned to generate ABS powders with consistent particle size distributions, reproducible melt flow indices, and thermal softening ranges suitable for high-performance additive manufacturing. The integrated synthesis and particle-engineering strategy ensures compatibility with both desktop-scale and industrial-scale 3D printers, supporting applications in prototyping, functional parts manufacturing, and tooling.
[0187] The present disclosure provides alternate carbon to synthetics track C4 hydrocarbon valorization from plastic waste to platform acids and derivatives. In some embodiments, C₄ hydrocarbons such as butane, derived from the thermal cracking of mixed post-consumer plastics— including low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET)— may be oxidized in the vapor phase over vanadium-phosphorus-oxide (V–P– O) catalysts to form maleic anhydride (C₄H₂O₃). This industrially established process enables the transformation of hydrocarbon-rich plastic waste into reactive oxygenated intermediates. The maleic anhydride thus formed may be hydrolyzed to yield maleic acid, a bifunctional molecule that serves as a branching point for several downstream transformations: Selective catalytic hydrogenation of maleic acid yields succinic acid, which, as described in prior embodiments, feeds into the 1,4-butanediol (BDO) and diethyl succinate production pathways; and partial hydration / dehydration reactions of maleic acid lead to the interconversion between malic acid and malonic acid, enabling dynamic entry into various value chains, including those for biodegradable plastics, fine chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
[0188] In some embodiments, malonic acid (CH₂(COOH)₂) may be produced from malic acid via catalytic oxidative decarboxylation, forming a versatile C₃-dicarboxylate intermediate. This compound may be subsequently utilized in Knoevenagel condensation reactions with aromatic aldehydes (e.g., benzaldehyde) to synthesize cinnamic acid derivatives (C₆H₅–CH=CH– COOH) (43b). These cinnamic acid derivatives serve as valuable aromatic feedstocks in the production of perfume ingredients, flavoring agents, andAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA functional monomers for specialty polymers and fine chemical synthesis, including pharmaceuticals and biodegradable plastics. This integrated pathway highlights the potential of combining thermochemical recycling of hydrocarbon-rich waste with platform chemical synthesis, contributing to a circular chemical economy and extending the value of existing petrochemical streams through renewable integration.

[0221] In embodiments, health or other data may be stored on the modular home or building data system relevant to the occupants of a given structure. This may make hardline and wireless access to the users’ data through networked systems universal. A dedicated health module may be included in all process and storage tiles, allowing the system to be embeddedAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA in every interactive system but in the users’ possession and accessible only to the providers with the currently required releases.

[0224] In embodiments, the user premise equipment may be integrated into a larger digitized system (14g, 15b, 17b) co-analyzing various demand and production dimensions in the node or a network of n nodes. Data may be collected and stored and analyzed by digital means as are known in the art.
[0225] The totality of the equipment and population in the node may be stored in and constitute a data layer which may be a dimensional layer in an n-dimensional predictive system (5b, 5d)). The totality of the historical consumption and production may be stored and constitute a data layer which may be a dimensional layer in an n-dimensional predictive system (5d, 5c). The totality of available products and services in the node may be stored in and constitute a data layer which may be a dimensional layer in an n- dimensional predictive system (FIG. 5). The totality of consumption in the dimensions from n nodes may be stored in and constitute a data layer which may be a dimensional layer in an n-dimensional predictive system. The predictive systems may incorporate node trend prediction which is an identification of a geospatial or affinity based groups that predicts or leads dimensions in the market state by some time period compared to other nodes behavior (5e, FIGS.6-10B). These predictor nodes can be grouped into sets of behavior wherein n predictor nodes may largely inform the state of mAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA follower nodes in combination with recursive continuous modeling of the deforming n-dimensional space state surface. The analysis and optimization predictions of the n-dimensional system may be a continuous windowed historical-predictive system to maintain current state knowledge for optimization in multiple time scales (10Aa, 10Ab).
[0226] The system may have access to external nodes and / or external data that may influence or improve the operation and performance of the node (FIG. 15). This data may be integrated with the dynamic consumptive-productive model to optimize the results of the equipment and locally applied node architecture and processes. The external data may relate to various areas of volatility and risk and may be used to optimize the security, stability, and protection of the systems for the built environment and the populace.
[0227] Solutions and optimizations may be shared through consumptive -productive node networks and integrated with the local node data to determine the optimum implementation of solution and / or optimizations in specific nodes. This may require the predictive modeling and isolation of specific node traits and / or behaviors to be lensed against the solution or optimization’s original node specific traits and / or behaviors. Such solutions may be considered a product or product category within the systems. Such solutions may be licensable through a general license wherein the community of origin is paid a fee for the use of their solutions in other nodes’ systems.
[0228] Artificial intelligence (AI) may be used in the demand and fulfillment system (11a, 14a, 14f, 14g, 28a, 28g, 28h) to produce customized interactive media and UI / UX architectures and controls that may allow ever increasing degrees of state awareness and predictive capabilities to better control system efficiency and waste.

[0230] Methods herein may be connected, combined, or blended with methods applied to the built environment in whole or in part.
[0231] Methods of state space knowledge, market behavior prediction, and merchandising, equipment utilization and inventory / s optimization
[0232] The consumptive systems may be optimized with the productive systems in a local / global digitally-physically enabled supply system (FIG. 20). Integration and optimization of consumptive and productive systems in local virtual and physical networks may be necessary to achieve a high degree of supply stability, equipment utilization, and circularity through state knowledge.
[0233] Optimization processes may include collecting and compiling state data from the consumptive, commercial / industrial, and infrastructure systems through digital sensor networks and digital or digitized distribution channels in the built, media, and extraction environment (FIG. 16-20). Data networks may be localized and connected to larger regional and global state networks that may allow continuous acquisition and analysis of the demand and supply state (FIGS. 15, 20). State data may include data critical to maximizing utilization of equipment and goods and services inventories such as but not limited to creation, consumption, and production rates of metals, food, water, Pharma, health, data, consumer products, and other supplies necessary to maintain the function and ROI of the built environment and the economy (FIGS.33, 39).
[0234] In embodiments, optimization may take place in a node of localized networked productive and energy capacity, or across n nodes, and may store and update the current distribution of equipment capacity and materials / feedstocks in the node for optimized production in the time and cost dimensions (6). In embodiments, optimization may store and updateAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA continuously purchasing data within the node (7). The data sets may be represented mathematically as an n-dimensional surface deforming through time wherein the areas of deformation are trends in consumption and production (FIGS. 6, 7, 8, 9). The time topographies may be analyzed for plateau regions that mat precede positive growth in the preceding negative slope or negative growth in the preceding positive slope.
[0235] The system may be optimized by dynamically and recursively finding best match n-dimensional surface datasets and variables (FIGS.10A, 10B). The optimization may take the forms of: • In embodiments, increases or decrease in localized demand may be matched by managing the equipment available to match the demand as determined by a gating function of cost performance per unit of underutilization and margin, to frequency / transport cost of productive reorganization and reallocation. • In embodiments, the utilization of the system may be by digital production files from retailers and creators and be produced locally or at some specialty node which may be an area or facilities that specialize in certain production, leveraging location or resources or local skills. • In embodiments, state data may be acquired through localized nodes of integrated media and retail systems which may be comprised of an entertainment interface, a purchasing interface, and a data storage and analysis element which may be connected in a network to other means of shared data and learning. • In embodiments, the state data may include product and service creation and contracting, the data and facilities which may be available for distributed AI and / or CAD design, and the like capability as a service or software to place contract production for product designs in the localized production systems.
[0236] In embodiments, the state date may be integrated with the digital offering data to better match consumptive demand wherein the state architecture matches the consumption to the options available in resources and / or digital product files both locally and remotely. In embodiments, the majority of consumption may be supplied locally and whatAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA is not available or cannot be made within the local system may be the export and import component of a more distributed and customized supply system. Equipment inventories may be managed across nodes.
[0237] Such systems may be optimized by artificial intelligence algorithms and data modules. These modules may include genetic, neural, network, or adaptive-predictive n-dimensional surface deformation trend algorithms (FIGS. 6-10B) and the like or any combination thereof. In n- dimensional systems prediction is based on trend mapping through time over an n-dimensional surface that represents the inputs and outputs and cost constraints and pricing drivers of the system or systems in question (FIGS.8, 9). As the n-dimensional surface deforms through time correlation between sample states may indicate growth or shrinkage trends in the demand dimensions of the surface (8c, 9c).
[0238] In embodiments, the consumption and demand for products may be mapped as an n-dimensional surface wherein surface deformation through time may constitute trends in the productive-consumptive systems that indicate future utilization and thereby may be used recursively to dynamically optimize the geospatial distribution of the system according to predicted consumption trends in the n-dimensional surface representation (FIGS.8, 9, 10A, 10B). Surface trend analysis may be performed by stepwise encoding of the current and past state surfaces wherein the projected trend in the surface from time step 1, 2, 3, …n may predict the future state based on the evident deltas and vectors between sequential trend states as characterized by the surface deformation of the consumptive-demand landscape (FIGS.8b, 8c). Inventories of both equipment and products may be reallocated based on predictive trend analysis and the like to optimize the performance of the system in the assigned dimensions of import (FIG. 33) which may be but are not limited optimization of ROI and social risk reduction in dimensions of merit which may be but are not limited to standard of living, security of supply, natural world effect of waste streams, emergencies, and the like.
[0239] Predictive and Optimization Methods may include the following:Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA 1. Represent demand and supply data in an n-dimensional surface topography over n states at t= 1, 2, 3, …n; 2. Select relevant production time period; 3. Select n time periods backward and project m time periods forward; 4. Filter n-dimensional topography / s for maxima and minima chains in the topography, constituting n-dimensional waveforms; 5. Filter n-dimensional waveforms for maxima and minima in the n dimensions; 6. Describe mathematically n dimensional waveforms and areas bounded by n-dimensional waveforms; 7. Compare and associate through time n dimensional waveforms and areas bounded by n-dimensional waveforms by means of vector correlation of vectors defining both comparative sets or by means known in the art for motion capture in video such as but not limited to Hidden Markov chain analysis and the like; 8. Comparison of deformation of n-dimensional and bounded areas over time; 9. Mapping of trend vectors over time; 10. Comparison of trends vectors with predicted vectors from previous pass; 11. Correction of trend errors in the m time period predictions; 12. Repeat calculations recursively and continuously.
[0240] In embodiments, the following methods of topographical scanning and sorting may be used wherein the deformation in the specific topography may be isolated by representing the change in critical points, waveforms, or bounded areas as identified by maxima-minima filters within the respective n topographies incorporated in the n-dimensional analysis and predicting the change in the topography over time. Maxima-minima may constitute the critical elements of the topography as they represent the rate and vectors of change in the topography (FIGS.10A, 10B). The maxima andAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA minima in the time topography may be of particular importance in n- dimensional vector trend prediction.
[0241] In embodiments, the n-dimensional topographical algorithms can be performed in a time step and with variables that may minimize computational complexity and thereby power consumption. In embodiments the time steps made be optimal to overlap to maintain a better state awareness. In embodiments the topographical n-dimensional surface analysis may be informed or assisted by stochastic, recursive, and / or AI methods such as but not limited to generative AI, neural networks, genetic and evolutionary algorithms and the like. In embodiments dimensions used to describe the state may be randomly assigned and or varied to establish a best set match for the current landscape. AI may be used to learn or identify variable flux between states to optimize the predictive efficacy of the systems and consequent utilization of the productive systems.
[0242] In embodiments, surface mapping and analysis may be optimized by a n-dimensional topographical (x, y, z, t, d1, d2, …dn) encoding and representation method which may be designed to isolate critical points in the topography that best indicate the trend deformation and emergence over time (FIGS.10A, 10B). The surface may be analyzed predictively by methods including but not limited to hidden Markov chains analysis, stochastic analysis, evolutionary analysis, and the like or any combination thereof. In embodiments the topographies may be arranged such that there are no manifolds or “negative” space topographies. Negative performance dimension values may be permitted, without negative x, y, z space / s. In embodiments the minimum dimensions necessary for demand prediction may be consumptive flux dimensions in areas such as but not limited to media, energy, services, goods, entertainment, and the like and associated features such as aesthetics, performance, price, and the like (28).
[0243] In embodiments the n-dimensional topographical surface mapping may group available products in the system by type using standardized product groupings or non-standardized product groupings. The topography may be a global topography wherein the n-dimensional layers in the topography in all types and areas are represented or it may be a type orAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA sub-type topography wherein only the dimensions associated with that product type / s or sub-type / s are represented in the specific topography (FIGS. 6, 7A, 7B). Type and sub-type topographies can be grouped across types by purchase affinities in related topographies to predict the overall purchasing dimension across product type and sub-type groups and offerings. In embodiments the recursive time period (10Aa, 10Ab) may be randomly varied both globally and for specific topographies or dimensions.
[0244] In embodiments, geospatial dimensions may represent global topographies showing the totality of the market or specific node topographies and / or all scales between such as but not limited inter-node or regional topographies (5a). In embodiments, the topographies and their associated variables may be randomized in recursive feedback loop analysis to establish the temporary local and global market drivers that may lead to trend growth or consumptive emergence. In embodiments, the system may build up a global and / or specific archive of prediction through recursive variable randomization and matching to optimize the recursive solution set and reduce the associated computational loads.
[0245] In embodiments, relational deformation across individual dimensions may represent market or individual or group behaviors and may be indicators of trend emergence and growth in specific product types and areas. Analysis of products or product offerings may include multiple dimensions inclusive of the features associated with the forms and functions of the product.
[0246] In the UPF system (FIGS. 11, 12, 14) the form and function or the product / s are known and can be analyzed against historical performance of the same or similar products combined with global and specific trend identification to predict a rate of sq. ft. and sell-through performance (FIG. 7) in market and may recursively and randomly correct said prediction in situ.
[0247] Over time the system may identify affinity groups of trends across sectors that may indicate advantageous features or perception that can be leveraged in merchandised product offerings or exposed gaps in potential demand that may represent product or product offer opportunitiesAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA which may be of use in the creation set of tools available for product creation (28a, 28b). The systems may be standard or open source (18e) or may be paid services (18f) within the system or any combination thereof. The systems may have multiple models or predictive methods available to be selected by the creator. The systems may be able to import and apply new models or rules set by a creator, allowing specific customization of the predictive system / s.
[0248] Surfaces may be comprised of consumptive and productive maxima and minima chains which describe the or many topographical n- dimensional surfaces and relevant curvature of the topography between the maxima and minima point chains as the specific rate of growth, linear or non- linear. Maxima and minima areas and boundaries may constitute the critical deformation of the surface through time. Such regions may be matched and matched through time by methods including but not limited to vector boundary and multi-region surface and edge matching, machine vision, AI and learning algorithm matching, and the like. Trends may be found in the deformation of critical areas and their boundaries and surfaces through time. Critical areas may change such that it may be useful to isolate trend deformation precursors in the deforming topography that predict the emergence, growth, or shrinkage of trends within the state set as defined by the metrics of import. The metrics of import may form a contributive surface of n-dimensional metric sets to inform the market state surface of what critical parameters in market behavior have deformed through time. The variation of such surfaces and dimensions may be optimized by the application of stochastic methods to isolate the dimensions of import at any given time. The trend prediction systems may be run recursively in a continuous forward backward windowed state of n time periods of m length (10A, 10Aa, 10Ab, 10B).
[0249] In embodiments, such systems may be executed combinatively or individually by methods such as but not limited to sensor data acquisition, storage of data in a digital form, analysis of data in the dimensions effecting consumption and margin, and the application of recursive feedback loop prediction, neural networks, AI and generative AI, and the like to predict future states and optimization therein.Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0250] Methods of advanced energy and production combination and deployment
[0251] An energy and production system is a system that may be deployed in combination and may be comprised of: ^ One or more modular combined heat and power sources (20d). ^ One or more modular production system / s (20e). ^ A modular heat, energy, fluids, and feedstocks supply micro or nano network and packaging and handling system / s (15a). ^ A transport system (11g).
[0252] The systems may constitute a mobile packages of modular equipment and the necessary optimization and merchandising tools (2c) to optimize the systems.
[0253] An objective of the system may be to optimize system ROI. An objective of the system may be to profitably remove and replace GHG producing and releasing systems with non-GHG releasing systems. Such GHG releasing systems may be wholly manmade as in the case of an engine or NG turbine or induced by manmade causes, such as increasing GHGs and heat from urban intensity. An additional objective of the system may be to perform these functions while producing higher ROI than systems that may not provide these functions.
[0254] In the techno-economic dimension this may be problematic because of the energy intensity and ROI delivered by fossil fuels, both to those supplying the fossil energy and those using the fossil energy to increase economic activity and growth in the built environment. It has become clear that the techno-economics dimensions, bounded by the valuation metrics in the market may represent a significant hurdle to cleaning systems while maintaining the required growth in economic intensity (more than 3% annual growth). Over 25 years and with the investment of more than $10 trillion USD there has been no reductive effect on Fossil market share or GHG growth rates indicating a fundamental issue with the market-facing methodologies, consequent state understanding, and techno-economic architectures applied to both energy and productive pursuits.Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0255] This may be because today’s techno-economic architecture does nothing to change the energy-economic dynamic (FIG. 28, 29Aa). It may be advantageous to create techno-economic architecture / s that may change energy-economic dynamics (FIGS.2, 20, and 29, 29Ab). It may be an object of the invention to design and integrate the techno-economic architectures into a process that minimizes the inputs into or disparate supply stages associated with the systems. Such a techno economic architecture may be optimized to objectives including but not limited to economic intensity, energy intensity, supply security and stability, income security and stability, lowest mass use per unit of energy and supply produced, and the like.
[0256] In embodiments the architecture may be a production system supplied by an NG turbine (24a, 25d), and a waste stream, capture & manufacture architecture (24a, 24b, 25e). In embodiments, this may be a productive process that involves the accretion, absorption, precipitation, or formation of a catalyzed structure that removes the carbon from the waste stream of a CH4 combustion or carbon releasing chemical process and acts as a de facto synthesis-filtering-manufacturing method for the waste stream (FIGS. 21-22B, 23). In embodiments, the synthesis filters may be applied multiple waste streams and may incorporate the multiple waste streams from both energy and production into a single product. In embodiments that may take the form of collocation or collection of waste streams for application in other productive streams. In calcium carbonate manufacturing systems (FIGS.21, 22) the calcium may come from poultry crates and egg processing or aquaculture ecosystems designed into modular crates (21b, 22c) or buildings such as but not limited to rooftop or shoreline ecologies or thermal and productive building envelopes and the like.
[0257] In embodiments, the energy and production architecture may be designed and disposed to localize increasing levels of production in combined energy and production nodes, establishing revenue streams, and incrementally building in-area supply capacity produced either in whole or in part on location. In embodiments the energy and production architecture may be disposed to cut legacy supply and mark-up chains to yield higher specific ROI (29A). In embodiments, the energy and production architecture may beAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA designed and disposed to increase the levels of CC&M in systems creating a more circular and extensive ROI foundation for the population’s supply (25, 26). In embodiments, these energy and production system architectures may be using energy produced by NG, neutralized NG, nuclear fission, nuclear RTGs, nuclear fusion, and RE and RE CHP or any combination thereof and the like.
[0258] Delivering ROI equivalent to or better than the legacy fossil system may be a critical design component of a techno-economic development architecture (30b). Utilizing the existing systems while shifting to new systems (24a, 24b, 24c) also may create advantage in transitioning systems from GHG emitting to GHG neutral or negative systems and shortens the time and logistics necessary to reach to an inflection point in the systems, as the new architecture replaces the old and may operate increasingly independently from the legacy systems inputs of processed commodities and / or manufactured components.
[0259] This may be addressed through system architectures that use intense (greater than 0.25KW / m2)(20d, 22Bc, 22Bd) clean power source / s such as but not limited to an advanced modular nuclear marine or micro reactor element / s, NG systems, a renewable CHP system element / s, and a synthetic fuel element / s powered by the prime movers combined with productive and built capacity of the same or similar size and may be deployed independently or in combination. Such systems, may also use sparse energy sources in remote locations (22Be) to create intense energy carriers such as synthetic fuels, provided the means of the extraction from the remote source as a redesigned means of extraction that may be mass optimized and mobile to accommodate shifts in natural resources over time and reduce associated production and logistics issues. Such a system architecture may use a phased deployment to optimize performance in various dimensions (FIGS.24, 37, 38, 39).
[0260] In embodiments, a renewable CHP system may be comprised of heat and electricity elements (22B). The elements may include but not be limited to: mobile or BIPV solar thermal with fluid reservoir / s (22Cb), mobile wind, mobile dammed, wave, current and pumped storageAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA hydro, geothermal, and synthetic fuel production. Such architectures may be applied in whole or in part and may have modularity in capacity over time. A fluid reservoir may be a single thermal transfer system or a multi-stage thermal transfer system that may deliver the heat to the fluid reservoir (22Cb). The fluid reservoir may be modular to allow the amount of thermal storage to managed dynamically in any part of the system wherein high to low grade heat may be available on demand through storage of energy from CHP systems. In embodiments, these systems may be deployed as stabilized capacity factor systems by using modularity and rapid install to allow under sizing relative toa the resource and significantly reducing the costs of the products of the systems (22Cb).
[0261] In embodiments, renewable systems such as tubular thin film or solar heat racks, panels, and the like may be deployed as a mobile architectural energy-producing curtain wall in the built environment with the inherent ability to move in case of future building shade (22Ca). In embodiments, low mass building integrated renewables may include, tubular systems, vibrational systems, rotational systems, gravitational systems (modular pumped storage hydro), and the like. In embodiments, renewable systems such as the tubular thin film or solar heat rack, panels, and the like may be deployed as sheathing and covering in combination with and as the modular envelopes with the ability to communicate and adjust according to environmental and human factors.
[0262] Energy and production architectures may include localized handling and supply networks for manufacturing and services nodes that may be cellular or other forms of distributed modular networks as are known in the art, such as but not limited to ring, sub-ring, fractal, tree and branch, blended architectures and the like (FIGS.15, 20).
[0263] In order to achieve advantage, techno economic architectures may use modular systems wherein the techno-economic architecture and element design of the network may deliberately leverage the plug and play modularity of the equipment which may avoid extended periods of debt payment without revenue or the inability to produce the revenue volume necessary to pay down facility or project planning and constructionAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA costs / debt (FIG. 32). Modular systems and novel architectures to deploy them may allow development to avoid significant portions of prior planning, design, regulation, and construction cost and may be used in incremental provisioning dimensions to start economic development in small nodes that can be modularly scaled incrementally across the built environment area (FIGS.32, 37, 38, 39).
[0264] This method of development may allow for very rapid development of high economic intensity by means of plug and play packages of basic and specialty supply / export capacity of everything by stages, using early demand in specific shares to build to larger manufacturing volume and commensurate economies of scale (price difference due to volume or mass manufacturing) which may be optimal penetration method for the architecture and its positioning (FIGS.21, 22, 37, 38, 39).
[0265] In embodiments, such modular systems architecture and application may be designed for rapid install with a complete or partial supply network / s which may be comprised of transfer, handling, and shipping elements and allow the system to begin operations and deliveries quickly (30a, 30b). Avoiding extended period / s of debt payment and risk without revenue may significantly change the ROI and risk of ROI in a project, such that the ROI may be significantly higher and the risk significantly lower than in a legacy constructed project / s using the grid and plant / s and factory / s architecture. Higher ROI from new methods of development and operation of clean or neutral systems may allow a transition from dirty to neutral to clean to occur wholly or partially by means of market forces rather than fiat.
[0266] System development phases in the ROI architecture may be segmented as: A. Rapid deploy and revenue stage enabled by plug and play modular systems (FIG.37). B. Residential and commercial construction stage (FIG.38). C. Residential and commercial supply stage (FIG.39A, 39B).
[0267] In embodiments a development may begin in n underdeveloped or brownfield areas (37a) with specialty supply for the local built environment demand and / or export to establish product and servicesAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA revenue streams (37b, 37c). This method may be optimal to rapidly build capacity to the population in areas of critical importance, energy, food, water, data, manufacturing, communications, and computing based on capturing existing demand in the local and export areas (37c). Such a system may serve as the financial leverage and supply basis for specific economic development of underdeveloped or low intensity areas in the built environment (37d).
[0268] The techno-economic development architecture may use such early nodes as the supply basis for further development (38d, 38e, 38f). New equipment within the economic development node / s may begin to supply commercial and residential built environment components for community development (38e, 38f). Communities can be developed whole cloth as a brownfield site (37a) or as a redevelopment integrating new and old elements of the built environment and its systems to elevate the communities’ economic intensity and standard of living (37d, 38d, 39a).
[0269] In embodiments, development nodes and associated methods of penetration may target high margin operations, areas, services, or retailers, to supply from within the city and allow the modular facilities to begin with high margin revenues early in market penetration (39a). Such targeting may include leveraging digital direct to consumption channels to capture a higher percentage of the final sale price of a product (29B, 30, 39a). Such systems may use organizational methods that are verticalized in loose or close arrangements which may include but not be limited to joint ventures, Keiretsu’s, and the like as are known in the art to deliver ROI to the productive participants. Such arrangements may include the consumption / productive populace as an ROI entity in the system.
[0270] Once the ROI phase is established on the equipment, producing relevant products and services and their associated revenue streams, the production merchandising and architecture may be adapted or expanded to neutrally (FIGS. 20, 21) or cleanly supply construction products and energy that cannot be avoided such as residential and commercial economic and real estate development or significant infrastructure and adaptation development (FIG. 26). In embodiments the residential andAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA commercial and the infrastructure and adaptation built environment may itself be modular and minimize the degree of construction and fixed form in the modular built environment systems. Such systems may be optimized in their design and impact by combining in whole or in part product development processes and methods, just in time processes and methods as are known in the art, and distribution channel management processes and methods as are known in the art (FIG.28).
[0271] In embodiments, a management process and / or method may be the application of merchandising processes and prediction of product or service inventories and the equipment that produces or delivers them (FIGS.9, 33-35).
[0272] A techno-economic architecture and process may be comprised of an energy element or elements (20d) and a production element or elements (20e) that may be optimized to provide different margin and supply stability, circularity, and customization of supply (FIG. 29B) at progressive stages of development wherein localized production system node that supplies various residential and commercial products and services may precede the economic development of the residential and commercial real estate development nodes (FIGS.37-39).
[0273] At each stage blended systems, which may be comprised of packages of modular energy and productive capacity, may be deployed in different scales and production modes for a specific iteration and or stage. Each stage may have a different optimization point or points. Such capacity may encompass multiple product sectors and may switch products based on stage or specifics of demand profile for both local and export consumption.
[0274] These systems may be optimized algorithmically by equations that represent the performance type of revenue source and its place or replacement in the supply chain (FIG.29B).
[0275] The capacity and products for development of both a domestic and export economy are made from a limited number of materials; alloys, glass, cement, polymers, silicons and silicates, and the like. The materials may have common molecular inputs or feedstocks that may be involved in the production of various products from architectural productsAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA (FIG.21) to food to manufacturing equipment and the like, all of which may be parts of an integrated and compacted supply chain which may switch optimization based upon economic development state or demand state.
[0276] In an embodiment a metal or glass modular production line may begin making specialty alloys (37a) or tiles and other high margin products for rapid ROI and then may add capacity to make neutral drop-in synthetic fuels for local construction equipment and energy equipment or local customized supply of architectural cladding or structural elements and the like for the residential and commercial development stage which may include construction of both buildings and the infrastructure to protect them (FIG.38). In third stage the same production and energy may be used to supply local and export consumption (FIGS.39A, 39B).
[0277] Stage A may optimize margins and utilization to penetrate by controlling demand and inventory utilization. Stage B may optimize clean on-site architectural products and construction energy or fuels. Stage C may optimize productivity per sq ft. and economic intensity.
[0278] At each stage the results of the systems may be optimized by the following novel methods below and may be merchandised as both equipment and product inventories to achieve an average margin including objectives beyond solely the market metrics of growth and margin, e.g. clean, ROI and equity distribution, limited footprint outside the built environment and the like. Such dynamic system designs may be capable of satisfying the techno-economic requirements of both the market valued metrics and the un-valued objectives by building more dimensions into the management algorithms and segmenting the inputs of the methods based on the period of economic development. Such optimization may be purely representative of the current state dimensions or may incorporate AI, genetic, or other learning algorithms and the like from Layer 2 analysis systems (2c, FIGS.5-10B).
[0279] System optimization basisAttorney Ref.4716-2-POAefficiency (merchandising) of both products and the equipment making the products.
[0283] The techno-economic system architecture may constitute the supply system and / or the supply and demand system. The architecture and management of the supply-demand productive-consumptive system may allow optimization of the system across dimensions relating to productivity (ex. Per sq ft or per thousand), efficiency (ex. Budgetary or sell-through)Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA (FIGS.8, 9), and / or circularity. Consumptive data may be gathered through a universal system interface allowing access to home functions and data networks such as the internet or localized networks or virtual networks (2b, 2c, FIGS. 15, 20). Consumptive data may integrate multiple consumptive functions including but not limited to goods, foods, health care, and the like (FIG. 17). Matching consumption to an enhanced profile of the consuming entity across consumption. This may allow the state knowledge necessary to create circular or near circular consumptive systems.
[0284] In embodiments the systems may optimize the flux of feedstocks, goods & services, waste reprocessing, and modularity to circularize the flow of basic inputs across multiple sectors and uses. This may be optimized for utilization of various inventories of inputs, from capacity to feedstock / product inventories, by means of optimization algorithms as are known in the art including but not limited to generative and true AI, neural networks, genetic, evolutionary, and learning algorithms, and the like combined with n-dimensional surface methods as described herein. The information of import may be trend vectors which n-dimensional surfaces and randomized variable architectures may be uniquely suited to isolate with high degrees of consumption accuracy, and thereby higher system / s efficiency, productivity, and monetary and social ROI.
[0285] Description of the methods and systems to enable carbon negative and low embodied carbon industrial and energy architectures
[0286] Both the emitted and the embodied carbon and the economic positioning of neutral systems may be of import in controlling the effect of GHGs on conditions in the atmosphere, the effect on the human condition, and logistically achieving a stable low PPM / PPB system or the inflection point to such systems.
[0287] A Carbon Capture & Manufacture system that includes clean intense energy sources (21a, 22b) and synthetic molecularly identical and / or adjusted drop-in fuels made by clean energy sources (22a, 22Bc, 22Bd, 22Be,) may allow a rapid conversion of fossil fueled systems to clean synthetic fueled systems. Phase 1 may use the fossil infrastructure andAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA equipment (25) to end of life, retaining asset value and returns to end of life and replacement by phase 2 systems (26). Carbon Capture and Manufacture may be a subset of waste stream capture and manufacture systems described in the synthetic section of this document and may constitute a novel approach to “filtering” waste streams wherein the filter may be the manufacturing process that uses the waste stream or multiple streams to manufacture a product (21b, 21c, 21d, 22c, 22d, 22e).
[0288] Carbon Capture & Manufacture system / s may be a system / s wherein a or multiple processes by which carbon is removed from a fluid or waste stream is simultaneously or in the same modular system transformed into a synthetic or natural product creating a positive neutral system (vs. rerelease of CO2 in say biomass fuels or plastic derived fuels) (FIGS.21, 22, 25, 26). In embodiments the product may be a fuel created by molecular synthesis from atmospheric fluids (25b, 26b). In embodiments the product may be food / s that naturally capture CO2 as part of the growth process (22c). In embodiments the product may be a synthetic such as limestone that naturally captures CO2 as part of an accretion synthetic manufacturing process. In embodiments it may be any carbon containing product including but not limited to limestone and other manufactured stones, graphites, graphene, high carbon steel, and composites, carbon and aramid fibers, epoxy, resin, polymers, and the like (FIGS. 21, 22, 23). Carbon capture and manufacture system may be defined as one designed to capture element / s in a or multiple waste streams, as the capture method / s are also creating a manufactured product or component thereof (FIGS.21, 22).
[0289] A Carbon Capture and Manufacture system is one that yields a positive neutral and then potentially negative positioning on waste stream and environmental industrial effluent content (FIG.23).
[0290] The methods described herein may leverage the fossil energy infrastructure, including but not limited to extraction rigs, pipelines, turbines, and combustion heat, and clean intense power such as but not limited to CHP combined RE or advanced nuclear energy or geothermal or any combination thereof and the like (FIG.22B).Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0291] A system is described with architectures and processes that may allow manufactured fuels, synthetically identical or tailored, that may enable fossil fuel systems to operate in carbon negative states (FIG. 26). There may be a significant embodied carbon advantage and path to neutral and negative advantage in being able to clean and leverage existing infrastructure through unique architectures and processes.
[0292] Neutral systems may be differentiated in negative or positive effect types based on the source and use of the carbon: • A positive effect neutral cycle may take hydrocarbons from atmospheric fluids, neutralizing or leveling fuel emissions additions to atmospheric fluids by circularizing the source and the sink. • A positive effect neutral cycle may store bio waste and recycled or reprocessed plastics carbon in polymers. • A negative effect neutral cycle may take hydrocarbons from bio waste, plastic waste, and the like, and releases the hydrocarbons, leading to increases or lower rates of reduction since leaving the carbon in the sink would have a far greater reductive effect and could pace growth.
[0293] A carbon or effluent negative state may be achieved by novel unique positive effect architecture / s. In embodiment the architecture may be a system to produce and use synthetic fuels, capture carbon and use the captured carbon as feedstock for products including but not limited to stones, polymers, alloys, resins and epoxies, PAN and associated fibers, aramid or nylon fibers and the like (26c). In the architecture the continuous process methods by which a carbon negative system may be achieved is: 1. A clean energy source may convert atmospheric fluids to synthetic fuels that can power and be transported by the existing energy and distribution network and used in existing equipment with fuel made from clean combined heat and power modules from any non-GHG emitting energy source, (22Bc, 22Bd, 22Be) 2. A turbine may burn the fuel for combined heat and power supply to production, transport, and the built environment, (22b)Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA 3. A productive system may capture the carbon from the waste stream of the combined heat and power turbines in a process that fixes the captured carbon in products, (22c, 22d, 22e) 4. A productive system may manufacture said products inclusive of HC derived feedstocks (FIG.25), 5. A productive system may recycle products (per mini-mills) for C and other feedstocks (FIG.26).
[0294] In an embodiment a system may be comprised of a: Main energy & production facility: ^ NG turbine - supplying heat and power (22b) ^ On-shore fish growth facility - processed into clean fresh fish (22c) ^ Barnacle growth facility - processed into fishmeal and calcium. (22c) ^ On-shore feed fish seaweed fed with commercial seaweed facility. (22c) ^ On-shore Abalone growth facility - processed into dried product (using waste heat pyrolysis) and calcium (22c) CC&M facility: ^ Seaweed dried (pyrolosis) and dressed (22c) ^ Calcium to the NG waste stream for carbon capture and manufacture of synthetic limestone for architectural applications which may be formed by accretion and dressing the synthetic stone or precipitation and pressure forming the synthetic stone. (22b, 22c, 22d, 22e) Merchandising product-pricing for ROI (FIG.30): ^ Clean high-grade fish- $20,000-30,000 per mT ^ Seaweed Dulse - $104,000 per mT ^ Dressed Limestone Tiles - $13,000-20,000 per mT ^ Dried Abalone - $150,000 per mT
[0295] As the system achieves the neutral or negative state the type of synthetic fuel used may change or be prioritized by effect. In embodiments a system may have a primary synthetic fuel type and a secondary or nth synthetic HC type. Primary fuel types may be synthetics made from carbon and hydrogen captured from atmospheric fluids wherein the carbon is creating a heat increase in the fluids and secondary or nth typesAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA may be made from bio waste or another form of waste wherein the carbon may be stored. Both may be considered neutral but the net carbon offset in the primary set relative to the secondary or nth set may be more efficient but may not be widely available in the early stages of a transition as the primary systems reach volume production.
[0296] Synthetic production systems may be combined with other production systems, to allow the synthetic to penetrate markets at commodity prices that may yield either low or negative margins, by merchandising products and services with higher margins with the synthetic producing elements in the localized production nodes and network. In embodiments remote fuel facilities such as coastal land and marine assets may use early advanced nuclear or remote RE CHP to provide synthetic fuels to heavily populated areas wherein the regulations or land area may not be available for direct application of the energy sources.
[0297] In embodiments the architectures may be optimized for the least weight options to further minimize embodied carbon and the amount of production per unit weight of the systems and easing reallocation of capacity.
[0298] These process architectures may yield the removal of CO2 from atmospheric fluids that may be used to manufacture synthetic drop- in fuels such as synthetic natural gas, diesel, jet fuel, and the like and may use said fuels for combined heat and / or power operations with various means of CO2capture at the turbine exit such as but not limited to: filter or membrane capture, fluid flow accretion capture, reaction capture, precipitation capture, electrically enhanced capture, and the like or in any combination thereof (FIG. 21, 22, 22B, 23, 24, 25, 26). This architecture and system may minimize the amount of equipment necessary to deliver a CO2neutral and / or negative system, thereby reducing both the emitted CO2and the embodied CO2. This process architecture may be disposed to produce equipment as well as supply goods and services (3B), further reducing the embodied carbon of the products of the systems in modular increments.
[0299] These methods may be combined with any means of turning captured or bound C into a feedstock for a product or a product (FIG.Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA 22B). These methods may allow two or more carbon neutral systems (22a, 22b) to combine into a carbon negative system (FIGS.22, 23) that effectively removes CO2 from atmospheric fluids, provides energy production from fuel manufactured from the H and C in those fluids, and then captures said C for use in feedstock fixing in any non-fuel product (23e). These architectures may be the most effective for removing C from atmospheric fluids for the least embodied carbon to neutral systems and minimized sunk cost in the process.
[0300] In embodiments, these methods may be used to capture the carbon and injected into the soil in regions for better water retention and may be combined with other methods to increase the water retention ability of the soil.
[0301] In an embodiment, the combined energy and production system may be comprised of: A. a synthetic fuel element powered by clean energy such as but not limited to CHP combined renewables, renewables, nuclear, and / or geothermal methods of energy production, methods of thermal storage, and methods of electricity and heat production and / or delivery (22Bc, 22Bd, 22Be), B. a carbon capture element such as but not limited to carbonization of Ag and / or bio waste, filtering, and / or precipitating carbon from the waste stream into a commercial product, (21c, 22c) C. use of the captured carbon in product for sequestration such as but not limited to precipitating carbon from the waste stream into a commercial product such as limestone or lime or other chemical precursors of application in industrial processes (21c). D. Such a system may include a neutral means of finishing and manufacturing finished products from the accreted or aggregate precipitates, a neutral means of handling said products (22d), and a neutral means of transporting said products to purchasers (25g).
[0302] In embodiments the combined energy and production system may be use a phased architecture to increasing the carbon capture capability of the system by shifting the carbon capture from the waste streamAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA of the neutral synthetic fuels to direct air and water carbon capture used for synthetic polymers and fibers (26).
[0304] In embodiments use of carbon captured by filter, biological, accretion, or other means known the art may be used to make metals and ceramics, engineered stone, PAN, resins, aramids and the like, epoxies, polymers, graphites, limes, and other goods that contain trace to large amounts of carbon (FIG.26). Additional feedstocks can be produced ifAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA necessary from the neutral synthetic methane using the Kvaerner process thereby creating a sink for the carbon by the removing it from atmospheric fluids.
[0305] Such systems may be optimized by state awareness of the broader systems and may be managed as an inventory to optimize the inventories’ net revenues and neutralization offset (FIGS.6, 32; 33a, 33b).
[0306] Techno-economic optimization or maximization in dimensions of market import (growth and margin metrics) may be a critical part of the efficacy of such systems (FIGS. 5-10B, 28-35). In this type of architecture, the techno-economic goal is to maximize the economic outputs of the system at each step or feedstock layer while minimizing the economic inputs. In embodiments this may include the growth of biologicals or non- biologicals for multiple purposes in the production-consumption systems and may include various levels of merchandising for improved budgetary performance and capacity utilization (21b). Merchandising the equipment and the inventory of supplied goods or services simultaneously may maximize the performance of the inventory in multiple dimensions depending on the constraints and drivers applied to the merchandising method / s.
[0307] In combined system embodiments, biologicals may fix minerals that may be useful in industrial processes such as calcium or iron or carbon. Biologicals may serve as both a food source, a food source for other food sources, and a source of feedstocks for other products in the system (21, 22). Circularity requires both state knowledge and exploitation of the basic molecular inputs in the system at the maximum economic intensity output.
[0308] Methods of integration and productive utilization of the built environment.
[0309] The techno-economic architecture may include new developments or developments with existing structures or any combination thereof and the like (FIGS. 43, 44, 45). In new, rehab, or redevelopment of existing structures / spaces in communities thermal envelopes may be used to control waste heat and provide enclosable environment / s to protect the population from increasing negative effects of climate volatility. The envelopes may extend beyond the building boundary to better manage protection,Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA heating, and cooling. Modular envelope systems may use existing structures as the scaffold for envelopes to manage temperature, utilize empty volumes productively within the built environment boundaries, and localize and secure basic supply and intense economic activity and growth for the populations. Modular envelopes may include an embedded network of energy, data, production, and temperature control utilizing micro or nano power nodes for granular control of the different elements of the envelope system. These may use active and / or passive control. Battery nodes maybe comprised by energy devices such as but not limited to chemical batteries, fuel cells, RTG batteries, thermal batteries and the like.
[0310] In embodiments the spaces between or under new or old buildings and infrastructure may be used with modular spatial-thermal envelopes to create protected and / or productive spaces within the built environment. Modular construction may allow rapid deployment and equipment may be protected by the envelopes and use “dead” space for new localized and export production capacity (39Db). In embodiments spaces such as but not limited to tunnels, elevated roadways, parking lots, brownfields, and the like may be developed for productive and protective uses to increase the localization and resilience of supply and protect the health and welfare of the populace (37-39). Modular systems may allow the systems to deploy and manage the built environment on granular and global bases. Modular system architectures allow in situ adjustment to current condition (FIG. 33) unlike non-modular infrastructure which is built to a predicted need and cannot easily be reallocated if the need is greater or does not materialize.
[0311] In embodiments thermal envelopes may use active or passive controls such as but not limited to vacuums in low conductivity cladding manufactured by the local node system (21d, 22e), pressure differentials, photoreactive and fluid reactive materials, fluid dynamics and open and closed areas in the envelopes to promote flow and cooling. In embodiments the thermal envelope and productive use may be the same systems. In embodiments the thermal envelope may be associated with food production and may include water and air layers or modular sections to optimize the heat management (39G).Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0312] Residential, commercial, and infrastructure built environment may use modular small capacity architecture to optimize localization of supply and ROI in area / s of interest. In embodiments the envelopes may serve as protective and / or productive elements such as but not limited to modular storm surge and sea level protection with integrated combined heat, power, and production that may supply district heating & cooling and kWh, construction materials from seawater and the like, aqua and hydroponic foods, data and communications, various end products and services for local and export consumption, and the like (39Ba). In embodiments existing infrastructure may be skinned and utilized with modular envelopes to use vertical volumes that may constitute localized production nodes, such as but not limited combinations of food, health, water, energy, and commercial and consumer supply and the like.
[0313] In embodiments, these small capacity architectural systems maybe deployable in any location around existing infrastructure, acting variably as a heat sink or a source of energy for work. The deployment of the modular envelopes can be done as temporary or permanent deployments to whatever desired capacity to help maintain temperatures and pressures within the infrastructure and without. In embodiments, the modular envelopes maybe made with self-healing materials to regain shape and form from damage due to environmental and human factors. In embodiments, the units consisting of the modules of the envelopes may have electronic or non- electronic communication media to respond and adjust rapidly to cyber- attacks involving but not limited to forced overproduction, by appropriately adjusting its communication algorithms to limit spread and isolating the attack.
[0314] In embodiments traffic and economic activity may be attracted to the development nodes of the new systems by socio-economic benefits allowed by the shortening or cutting of supply and mark-up chains. In embodiments services such as health care, basic food and water supply, education, and like necessities may be bundled into the margin-ROI package. This may be structured as a blended return optimization between the means of capital and the means of production and consumption. A compact modular system may allow significantly higher ROI multiples than extant or non-Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA modular systems (29B, 30, 35). Systems may be combined and executed using methods disclosed herein such as described above with respect to FIGS.3C-3F.
[0315] In embodiments the systems may include recipe or product printing interfaces and content. In embodiments a waste stream polymer-reactor system may be used to provide feedstock for a polymer printing and / or forming system for circular polymer and plastic products including but not to limited to containers, fabrics, technical fabrics and yarns, composites, apparel, packaging, appliances and equipment, and the like (FIG. 31). Construction or assembly of polymer products may be by means of similarly produced epoxies or resins or heat sealing or mechanical or any combination thereof and the like. A product may be manufactured on demand or nearly so. The product may be used and returned to the local retailer for reassimilation in the waste streams or may be reassimilate and applied to the modular subsystem at any point of consumption and recovery including but not limited to the embedded local systems at the residential / commercial building or node or regional / global network (2f). In embodiments the retailer may recycle and reproduce at the point of sale with a modular polymer reactor, printing system, and assembly system. In embodiment this may be used to replace rapid cycle high-waste platform production, such as but not limited Fast Fashion supply chains. In embodiments the waste may be fed to centralized systems within the nodes as feedstocks. In embodiment either means of collection and production may be executed by means of digital files stored within the local and global digital-physical systems (FIGS. 2, 11, 12, 13, 22f).
[0316] In embodiments the system may include full or partial management of the consumption and waste products of the built environment or any subset / s of the consumption and waste products of the system. Spaces may be considered as consumptive nodes within a building or the built environment or larger network which may include and manage all development, consumption, and fulfillment in the local or larger area network (FIGS. 3, 3B, 14, 20). Spaces may be considered to have operation and behavioral envelopes for all areas of production and consumption wherein theAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA envelope constitutes both the state knowledge acquisition mechanism and the management mechanism (FIGS.2, 3, 3B, 4, 5-10B). Such consumption may include, but not be limited to staples such as food, water, and heat to non- staple luxury or mass markets products and the like.
[0317] In embodiments, on-site customization of thermal control and state awareness through interior and exterior “smart” envelopes combined with thermal storage such as but not limited to fluid or porous or solid or molten storage technologies may optimize the energy to waste heat ratio. Overlaid on the thermal and / or base consumption network may be n networks representing the n-dimensional social and purchasing behaviors in the network at various scales from the individual to the statistical group (FIGS. 3, 3B, 5). These n networks may be digital twins and the like utilized to optimize the results of the system allowing the systems to optimize for results beyond growth and margin metrics.
[0318] In embodiments smart envelopes may encompass any consumption or combination of consumption relevant to optimizing the input and outputs off the system with regard to specific optimization goals and boundaries wherein the economic goals and boundaries may be one of many optimization profiles for the localized and larger systems.
[0319] In embodiments the community, built environment construction and installation systems may include advanced modular energy- production lines wherein the supply of architectural materials and components may be provided wholly or partially on site. In embodiments the modular production of structural elements in printing and forming systems may no longer need framing or other work to make them ready for installation. In embodiments the structural members may be printed or formed in their final form which may make a diagrid and / or other complex structures.
[0320] In embodiments the construction and installation systems may also include pre-formed structural or cladding components produced by local CC&M systems such as calcium carbonate structural forms with embedded lattice or beam structures as described in the synthetics section of this document. Such systems may build micro and nano network forms into interior and exterior cladding. Such network components may be preinstalledAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA per modular section or installed on site. In embodiments the architectural firms may design and produce exclusive architectural product designs that may customize and differentiate the product, spaces, and pricing under a licensing payment structure.
[0321] A protective-productive system and development and optimization method for the construction, assembly, and deployment and financial engineering, optimization, and integration of infrastructure into the built and economic environments (FIG.37). The infrastructure system may be a sub-system or unique combination of those described herein wherein the infrastructure system may represent the integration of infrastructure purpose with economic purpose that may not be limited to the supply of essential services such as electricity, heat, data, or drinking water (37b, 37c) and the like.
[0322] In embodiments the integrated infrastructure may be a seawall (FIG.39B) or storm surge protection or the like serving the protective and a productive purpose such as but not limited to the production of water, food & food services, synthetics, data processing, commercial goods and services, and the like and residential and commercial spaces (39a, 39b, 39c, 39Bd, 39Be). In embodiments the integrated infrastructure may be a thermal envelope that integrates multiple commercial and residential spaces and embedded advanced energy and production into a protective-productive space. In embodiments the infrastructure may constitute
[0323] The need for significant adaptation infrastructure may now be inevitable. If it remains a sunk expense, it may be left to the last minute. It is therefore critical to create direct returns from the infrastructure (39B) vs only enabling high returns from commercial and residential spaces as the current generation of infrastructure systems are designed .
[0324] Using general purpose systems (FIGS. 1-4, 16-22), sub- systems (FIGS. 5-15, 22C, 25, 26), general and non-general purpose technologies, and management and optimization methods (FIGS. 5-10B, 29- 35) pertaining to said systems and technologies described herein, adaptation and infrastructure systems may pay for itself and limit the incurred debt ofAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA large scale public works through modular rapid install systems and economic use and optimization of the structures.
[0325] To address this, the infrastructure to derisk the built environment may produce basic, industrial, commercial, and residential product and revenue streams to pay for the structure / s (39a, 39b, 39c, 39Bd, 39Be). Fully integrated sea level or storm surge protection can present coastal growth and secure supply opportunities by integrating commercial, adaptation, and protection structures (FIGS. 39B, 39E). Seawall or storm surge protection (FIG. 39E) is an opportunity for development, both in-water and on-land (39Ba, 39Bd, 39Be). Advanced energy and productive systems can be integrated directly into the seawall system / s along with offshored port facilities (39Bf), providing a “loop” of energy, traffic and product flows for the area protected by the seawall (FIG.39B). The shoreline the ports previously occupied becomes available for commercial development, such as Seaport in Boston, which may increase the overall ROI for the offshoring and protection.
[0326] In embodiments an energy and production module / s may be disposed in near shore environments and serve more than one purpose, such as but not limited to energy production, aquaculture, and protection (39Eb, 39Ec) from storm surge or erosion (39E).
[0327] Advanced production and infrastructure, like digital media and communications, may be standardized from interfaces (FIG. 16-20) to dimensional envelopes in order to be delivered at scale. Without equipment envelope (standardized interfaces such as USBs or WIFI routers) and interconnection standards for both networks and the devices (FIGS. 16, 17, 39C) that use them, may be needed for a broader digital-physical system to happen fast or at scale. Unlike project regulations, regulatory standards in products and equipment define an envelope of operation and intersystem interaction that enables many versions to be provided or optimized by individual companies and research efforts. Without 801 WIFI, MPEG, and CDMA standards and regulations the digital revolution does not have the system integration tools needed. Basic structure, interface, and envelope definitions for advanced systems may yield a global rapidly scalable system. The modularity, mobility, and load balancing for the system may extendAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA through multiple levels of the systems from scale infrastructure (39) to the in- home and in-store devices the engage demand (FIG.16).
[0328] As in digital architecture and the digital-physical commercial-residential architecture described herein we may split the interactive and fulfillment functions into layers; interface, data, and production and delivery layers. The interface layer would be made of computing and display modular in-space equipment that can serve as media screens or controls for ambient temperature or cooking and water appliances or control and monitoring for the advanced production. The interface layer would feed the inputs of the devices to a data layer to manage demand and combine the in-home data with retail commercial and capacity data to manage the system. The data layer feeds the aggregate orders into the production and delivery layer. The infrastructure layer may be the inhabited, built, and protective- productive environment. The interstitial phases between today and that potential end state will have to be designed to both refit existing built environment and outfit new builds (39D, 39B).
[0329] Like a parallel processing architecture, community nodes can share the load as arrays through merchandising the systems to optimize utilization geo-temporal positioning (FIG.33).
[0330] In embodiments it may be advantageous to integrate adaptation with staged modularly enabled commercial development. In embodiments trend n-dimensional volatility models may be integrated with an n-dimensional market models to optimize the stability of the infrastructure supply systems under volatility stress in either or all economic, geopolitical, and / or natural event dimensions.
[0331] In embodiments infrastructure construction systems may include advanced modular energy-production lines wherein the supply of architectural materials and components may be provided wholly or partially on site (FIGS.37-39, 39B). In embodiments the modular production of structural elements in printing and forming systems (FIG. 3) may produce modular construction forms and may no longer need significant on-site construction to pour concrete. In embodiments the structural members may be printed orAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA formed in their final form which may make a diagrid and / or other complex structures.
[0332] In embodiments marine footings may be formed by specialized fluid control and processing machinery that allows the ferrous substrate of the column to accrete calcium carbonate in situ in place of poured concrete footings or sprayed concrete. In embodiments the machinery may allow a stable driven flow around a column or lattice structure (FIG.36).
[0333] In embodiments the construction and installation systems may also include pre-formed structural or cladding components produced by local CC&M systems such as calcium carbonate structural forms with embedded lattice or beam structures as described in the synthetics section of this document.
[0334] Infrastructure may include any element of the built environment systems that provides a protection from events or threats or a supply of a staple such as potable water. In embodiments the infrastructure systems may in whole or in part be designed to limit the footprint to the built environment, enabling supply for the population from within and / or from imports from other regional or extra regional nodes (FIGS.20, 39D).
[0335] Seawalls (FIG. 39B) present a Private-Public opportunity to expand the opportunities for economic growth in the area in question, while protecting it from its own impacts. Shoreward residential, energy, water, and food (39Bd, 39Be) production and revenues are just a few the benefits of revenue producing protection.
[0336] In embodiments in the architecture on the top level may be protected on-wall built commercial structures such as restaurants, green space areas, and protected filtered clean on-wall aquaculture and hydroponics to supply the local demand for seafood and fresh produce.
[0337] Integration of physical real estate, productive capacity, energy, residential and commercial activity (39D), and protection combined with the digital architectures may enable granular control over a variety of urban supply and waste chains while protecting and helping to provide goods and services from fresh water to clean food to intense energy for urban protection and growth (39C).Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0338] Seawalls may be built and planned with living envelopes (39D), integrated into the landscape both above and below water.
[0339] Integrating food production, building water supply, and thermal envelopes (39Db) may be a method to significantly cool cities. Intense combined heat and power packages with building integrated thermal management may reduce the built environment heat energy (50-70%) lost or vented to the atmosphere today.
[0340] Methods of Financial Engineering applied the digital- physical combined systems
[0341] Deployment and ROI and performance of systems may be optimized by an architecture that is financially designed and / or engineered (2c, FIGS. 6, 7, 7B, 10A, 10B, 28, 29B-35, 37-39B) and may include various financial architectures to minimize initial cost of the system and its components and negative cash flows, including: ^ pre-valued residual discounts ^ at-will or short-term leases ^ JVs, consortia, cooperatives, contractual verticals and the like ^ Merchandising of the energy, equipment, and the products for combined margins and utilization rates
[0342] These financial architectures or any combinations thereof may include the community providing the sq ft, labor, and consumption wherein the community constitutes an ROI recipient and equity participant as the investor / s do.
[0343] In embodiments the architectures described maybe formed and optimized recursively by a process by which the architecture allocates and manages assets at different phases of development to optimize margin and returns from the resultant architecture at each phase of the process. Modular projects per those described below would be repeatable with minor re-organization and merchandising.
[0344] In embodiments the process may be an: ^ Area: Energy Transition development process ^ Sub area: Community Development Modular Energy & Production Systems and GDPAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0345] Outline of process to optimize productive-consumptive systems: ^ Phase 1: General Landscape, collection, analysis & modeling performed by the digital (2c, 5-10B) on the physical (2d, 16-20). • Market & trends (energy and products). • Nuclear Energy (22Bc). • Redesigned renewable CHP (solar & geothermal, wind, hydro)(22Cb). • Neutralized fossils (22b). • Advanced processing (e.g. production of metal powders at mine for printing in consumptive markets or processing of consumptive waste feedstocks for material inputs) (3b). • Advanced production (e.g. the printer)(3b).•Technical database of advanced technologies, combination analyses, and status (2c). • Equipment & product merchandising database of extant or potential products and margin performance cross referenced to the Technical database (2c).•Techno and socio-economic models (layer using database) (2c) • Structure • Scale / s • Demand / distribution • Logistics•Standards and regulatory filings•Adaptation and resilience in context of above (2c applied to infrastructure sections) ^ Phase / Level 2: Potential Project Locations, number, and preliminary production, sourcing, and cost and revenue models • Identify communities or production or acquisition & development opportunities for integrated systems (37) • Types of Combined Heat and Power energy; RE, Nuclear Batteries, Marine nuclear energy, Natural gas with CC&M (20)•ROIAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA • Investors & partners • Community • Legal structure of ownership • Keiretsu • JVs ^ Phase / Level 3: Specific Project Design and Planning•Components • Types of consumption served and relative ROIs / value • ex.

[0346] In embodiments the development process may be integrated with market performance processes. State of the art in management, economics, and business as practiced (HBS, Stanford, etc.) (FIG. 27) may be insufficient to current market complexity and state and may represent a reductionist approach to dynamic or evolutionary systems leading to systemic gaps and errors in state understanding and unintended consequences. These “state-of-the-art” methods and processes may be insufficient to a complex demand and supply landscape and may be disassociated from the market reality by single phase or simplistic and isolated development of products with regard to market complexity and need. The simplicity of development as understood in the art is clear in the image below. This “state-of-the-art” development process is likely to produce significant gaps between market need and product suitability. It may be of import to improve this process and integrate said improvement into improved supply systems and AI managed and optimized automated production.
[0347] Prior art may constitute the inverse of more effective processes described below and may be oversimplified and suited only to a single product development such as a technology or component not a product offering in consumptive markets. New technologies’ ability to shorten, compact or intensify industrial processes may suggest that processes, methods, and architectures suited to consumptive systems designed to leverage significantly shortened supply chains may be optimal for the current state of technology, rather than what is considered state of the art in production facilities and economics today. This may be inclusive of the elimination of or reduction in single purpose constructed facilities in the deployment of the production of energy, goods, and services.
[0348] In the new system the product management and development process (2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 3c, FIGS.5, 8, 9, 10A, 10B, 11, 12, 28)Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA may be significantly more advanced and efficient and productive than current methods, and more suited to an advanced energy and production system (FIGS.20, 39)
[0349] Development as practiced in the art (FIG. 27) may be insufficient to the current state of complexity and may produce multiple instances of mismatch and productive inefficiencies across multiple dimensions of import.
[0350] Complex development process may include integration of recursive design and product development in the digitized demand, production and fulfillment systems to both maintain state awareness and optimize the productive and ROI efficiency of the systems (FIGS. 10A, 10B, 28).
[0351] In embodiments processes may be integrated directly into the demand acquisition systems (FIGS. 16-18, 28) and may be used to maintain performance over time. The greater integration of process and systems architecture and AI may lead to improved awareness of system states for improved performance and circularity. AI and marketing processes and architectures may serve as umbrella analysis and strategy / action identification systems for more complex product and market development processes.
[0352] System and methods of creating synthetic products from waste streams and atmosphere fluids
[0353] A waste stream capture and manufacture system is described that may be disposed to accept an atmospheric fluid stream / s and / or waste streams inclusive of heat or products from an energy and / or productive-consumptive process / es (21c, 22c, 22d, 22Bb, 22D) such as but not limited to combustion and / or chemical (40b, 40d), electrolysis (40c, 40e), food growth, consumption, and the like processes that may; contain CO2 and / or other combustion (22d, 40b) or processing (22c, 40d) or consumption (22D, 40d) waste streams; pass the waste stream in either a gaseous or aqueous state or combination thereof through processes designed to manufacture products or product precursors from the waste streams (40e); constitute a system level filter for waste such that the filtering andAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA manufacturing (40e) are performed in the same process (22d) or the same modular line of equipment or in the same node; constitute recycling of polymer products (40d). In the case of CO2 the system may be a carbon capture and manufacture system that may capture and use the CO2 in single or multi-step processing and production systems (22, 40e).
[0354] In embodiments the waste stream / s of interest (40d) may contain CO2, nitrates, calcium, salts, nitrates, hydrocarbons, and the like and capture and manufacture may include systems which capture the waste in a combined process such as but not limited to synthetic limestone accretion (22d, 41) or in separate processes such as but not limited to agriculture and processing of the biowaste from the Ag (22c{pyrolysis}, 39G) and Ag’s other waste streams (22c {calcium), 41b). Waste streams may be liquid, gaseous, or solid and may be an origin or synthetic cyclical stream. In embodiments the stream which contains the CO2 may be combined with other waste materials and streams (22c, 22d) to create an aggregate product which may include but not be limited to single material products or multi-material parts / products.
[0355] In embodiments the synthetics of interest may be fuels (22a) or polymers (39Gb) or synthetic stone (36) and the like made from atmospheric fluids. In embodiments synthetics maybe be polymers or precursors such as but not limited to made of biowaste (39G). In embodiments the CO2 may be captured in an agricultural system and produce bound C in the biomass waste product (39G). In embodiments the CO2 may be combined with H and other elements to bind the C in a product / s such as but not limited to consumer, architectural, and industrial products.
[0356] In embodiments the application CC&M of the synthetics may be in products such as but not limited to; architectural and construction products, apparel products, home products, industrial design products, packaging, and the like (41g) which may be purchased through the UPF and digital interface systems described herein.
[0357] Modular CC&M Systems, Integration, and Optimization for Advanced Fuels and Materials Manufacturing use in productive-consumptive systemsAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0358] All specialty process modules and / or modular production lines (21, 22, 25, 39G) such as but not limited to air to fuel, water to fuel, methanol-to-olefins (MTO) reactors, polymerization units, and organic charge- transfer (CT) salt crystallization platforms and the like may be deployed as modular, skid-mounted or containerized or built environment embedded units. These units may be designed for co-location with combustion energy (40b, 41a and carbon capture infrastructure (40e, 41f, 41h), including but not limited to CO₂ mineralization and carbonate accretion crates (41c, 41d), enabling fully integrated carbon utilization and advanced materials synthesis at distributed or industrial sites.
[0359] In embodiments each process module or modular line may be configured to interface with shared network infrastructure / s, encompassing steam generation, cooling systems, and electrical power and others supplies. Thermal energy recovered from exothermic reactions such as but not limited to methanol conversion and step-growth polymerization or data center waste heat (21b) may be channeled via heat integration networks to preheat incoming feedstocks enhancing overall process efficiency and reducing overall energy demand per unit of interest produced.
[0360] In embodiments, the system may employ digital process control platforms equipped with real-time monitoring tools and analysis such as but not limited to the predictive-corrective systems described and , such as in-line gas chromatography (GC) for compositional analysis and on-line rheometry for assessing polymer viscosity and flow behavior. These digital tools may enable dynamic adjustment of reactor and crystallizer parameters, including temperature, pressure, residence time, and solvent ratios, ensuring that product streams consistently meet targeted purity levels, molecular weights, and particle morphology standards. These system / s availability, performance, and characteristics may constitute dimensional layers within the UPF Layer 2 analysis subsystems (6-10B).
[0361] This configuration allows for rapid tuning of material properties across a range of outputs—such as 3D printing filaments and powders, aerospace-grade polymers, high-conductivity CT salt films, and battery-related intermediates—to meet application-specific performanceAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA requirements in additive manufacturing, aerospace engineering, electronics, and energy storage.
[0362] System and methods of producing and using synthetic drop-in NG and LNG
[0363] A modular system may make the synthetic NG and LNG to supply the neutral and negative Natural Gas systems described herein (21- 22B). The NG / LNG producing system / s may include modular equipment necessary to complete a pathway to make synthetic NG (CH4) or LNG from atmospheric fluids (41).
[0364] In embodiments, carbon dioxide (CO₂) may be extracted from ambient air using a direct air capture (DAC) system (42d), which may include but is not limited to passive absorption surfaces or membrane- assisted modules, such as those employing deep eutectic solvent–supported liquid membranes (DES–SLMs). Such membranes may be configured to operate under ambient pressure and temperature, enabling selective and continuous CO₂ uptake from the surrounding atmosphere.
[0365] In embodiments, a water electrolysis unit may be configured to electrolyze water—preferably sourced from seawater, greywater, or reclaimed wastewater streams—using clean electricity and heat (21Ba, 22a, 22B). The electrolysis process generates molecular hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂), wherein the O₂ may optionally be recovered for sale or use in producing materials such as nitric oxide and the like or vented safely.
[0366] The captured CO₂ and generated H₂ may then combined and introduced into a Sabatier reactor, comprising a catalytic bed formed from nickel-based or ruthenium-based catalysts supported on alumina or another thermally stable substrate. Within the reactor, the reactants undergo exothermic methanation at elevated temperatures ranging from approximately 250°C to 400°C, yielding synthetic methane (CH₄) and water vapor in accordance with the reaction:
[0367] CO₂ + 4 H₂ → CH₄ + 2 H₂O
[0368] Such a system (41c) might include a) the filtering mechanism to prevent large organisms from entering the reactor vessel; b) a CO2 extractor using a Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) technology (42c) c) AAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA water desalination unit to remove sodium (42b); d) An electrolyzer to produce hydrogen (42d); e) A compressor to combine the separated CO2 and H2 and pressurize them (42e); f) a Sabatier unit for reacting H2 and CO2 and producing CH4 (42f).
[0369] In embodiments, the synthetic fuel elements of the systems may be executed by the methods described above and may be provisioned as a single or multi-fuel type producing unit. The synthetic fuel elements may be provisioned with energy from similar capacity combined heat and power modules such as but not limited to modular nuclear fission energy, renewable systems which combine stabilized modular wind, hydro, and solar process and community heat delivery technologies, geothermal technologies, and fusion energy or any combination thereof (22B).
[0370] The resulting methane gas (42f) may be; stored; combusted in CHP systems (41a); utilized on-site for power and heat in the nodes described in the above system with the Carbon Capture and Manufacture systems (41c, 41d) described herein, resulting CO2 neutral and negative systems. In embodiments the systems may be combined and circularized with general purpose productive-consumptive systems, their subsystems, and methods of optimization (1-10B).
[0371] Systems and methods for producing limestone products from waste streams and atmospheric fluids
[0372] In embodiments the synthetic NG / LNG may be used in CHP systems (41a) interconnected an aquaculture facility (41b) and a limestone capture and manufacturing facility (41c, 41d). The limestone CC&M modular system may be designed to maintain a constant flow of the fluid of interest used to prepare the waste stream which may include enzymes, accelerants, thermal inputs and gradients, pressurization, and or the like or any combination thereof and may be gaseous or aqueous process or a combination thereof. In embodiments, CO₂ mineralization processes may result in the formation of particulate carbonate solids (41c), including lime (CaO) or limestone (CaCO₃), which may subsequently be processed into engineered stone, structural composites, or filler materials for industrial and architectural applications. These particulates may be derived fromAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA precipitation reactions within a working fluid (41c, 41f, 41g), or through solid- surface or lattice accretion (41d, 41h), depending on the system configuration.
[0373] In embodiments the system may have; a) a natural gas plant burning synthetic natural gas (made by the synthesis methods described)(41a); b) a CO2 absorption or capture device such as but not limited to one which separates out the CO2 from the other gases in the waste stream and feeds the stream (41e) into a reactor / s and the like; c) the reactor / s and balance of plant equipment (41f, 41h).
[0374] The accretion surface and / or reactive fluid interface may be chemically, electrically, or geometrically optimized to control the rate, morphology, and mechanical properties of the precipitated material. In one embodiment, geometric optimization may include the use of a three- dimensional lattice structure that enables volumetric accretion, rather than limiting growth to a two-dimensional surface. This may facilitate the production of structures with tailored mechanical properties such as: increased compressive strength, reduced mass, controlled porosity, improved thermal or acoustic insulation characteristics.
[0375] In embodiments, the working fluid may be selected from a range of environments including air, water, industrial flue gas, power plant exhaust, or aqueous waste streams rich in CO₂. The process may be further enhanced through combinatorial acceleration techniques, involving the simultaneous application of catalysts, pressure, heat, and electrical fields. These approaches are designed to accelerate carbonate formation kinetics, allowing the production of mineralized materials to keep pace with CO₂ emissions from energy generation and industrial operations.
[0376] The resulting carbonate solids may be accumulated as particulate material, or consolidated into bulk forms through heat bonding, pressure bonding, chemical sintering, or any combination thereof, forming durable products suitable for use in construction, ceramic manufacturing, or engineered composite applications (41c). Such methods may incorporate or build upon existing techniques in hydrothermal synthesis, electrochemical mineralization, or fluidized bed precipitation, as may be known in the art. In embodiments the system may use novel integration of spatial, thermal, andAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA electrochemical field control to direct material growth and conversion efficiency.
[0377] In embodiments the manufacturing of the limestone product may involve “growing” limestone by applying an electrical current to a metal lattice (41d) to precipitate CaCO3 from an aqueous or gaseous solution. Applying a current to a metal grid or lattice may induce the formation of CaCO3 by creating a localized elevated pH and thus free CO32- ions that then react with dissolved Ca2+ ions to form CaCO3. Accretions and precipitation rates may be optimized by stabilizing the conditions that yield the highest accretion or precipitation rate per unit of energy and optimizing temperature and pressure as well as the calcium density or reactance in the fluid.
[0378] In embodiments precipitation may be achieved by a wollastonite reactor / s. In embodiments, Wollastonite reactors may represent a method of locking CO2 in limestone where the overall reaction is:
[0379] CaSiO3 (s) + CO2 (g) → CaCo3 (s) + SiO2 (s) (2)
[0380] In embodiments, removal of CO₂ from fluid streams may be achieved through chemical or electrochemical methods that promote the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) (41d). This process may be configured to operate by establishing a fluid transport layer—such as a thin film or mist—between the CO₂-containing gas and the solid accretion substrate, thereby enhancing mass transfer. Alternatively, a gas dispersion chamber may be employed to uniformly distribute CO₂ into a liquid phase prior to contact with the accretion surface.
[0381] The fluid layer or dispersed fluid may be optimized in terms of pH, ionic strength, and CO₂ absorption capacity, and may contain soluble calcium or magnesium sources to promote the precipitation of carbonates. The accretion substrate may be composed of Ca-based minerals, including CaO derived from marine shells, industrial slag, or CaSiO₃ sourced from basalt or seawater brines (40d). The resulting carbonate products may include engineered limestone, ceramic precursors, or reactive fill materials for steel and cement manufacturing.Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0382] In further embodiments, ambient, enzymatic, or electrochemical mineralization may be employed to convert captured CO₂ into CaCO₃. The calcium carbonate may be thermally processed to regenerate CaO, which may then serve as a precursor for calcium carbide (CaC₂) production through reaction with carbonaceous feedstocks (e.g., biomass char) at high temperatures (>1500°C).
[0383] In embodiments the accretion module (40e, 41f, 41h) may control flow speed, turbulence, vorticity, pressure, temperature, electrical field / s, and the like to accelerate the accretion process. In embodiments the concentration of calcium and CO2 in an aqueous solution may be controlled and the temperature and pressure may be optimized to increase the speed of accretion of calcium carbonate. In embodiments a 3-dimensional substrate / s such as an iron lattice may be provided in the controlled environment. Lattice density and sparsity may be used to granularly control the density of the material and speed to volumetric transfer time to closed or open cell accretion. Lattice surface area increases cubically with decrease in the step size of the lattice.
[0384] In embodiments the lattice may be an alloy or sandwich alloy in which the surface of accretion is one material optimized to react with the aqueous solution and the substructure is another material or materials to serve structural or transport functions and the like. The lattice process may be able to produce modular components for the built environment that reduce the use of cement and various singular components in the fabrication of the building. This production method may allow panels and structural shapes to be pre-engineered for various functions such as but not limited to radiant heating and cooling, fiber, water, electricity, heat for cooking and industrial process, and other network transfer function. Lower filled volume in the selection of goods for the built environment will decrease production time.
[0385] In embodiments, the calcium source may be designed into the combined systems such that the calcium may be grown biologically through a hatchery, stock, and the like as food source and calcium source (21b). This yields combined revenue streams and ROI from a single stone manufacturing process and feedstock supply. Biological means may beAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA genetically engineered to accelerate or increase the amount of calcium produced per unit time or the % of calcium in the biological feedstock. Shellfish may be a useful source of food and / or feed and calcium carbonate source that may be used to produce engineered limestones.
[0386] In embodiments an enzyme or enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase and the like may be used to fix calcium carbonate from filtered seawater fed to a controlled environment module. In embodiments, a method may involve capturing waste CO2 from the flue gas, may use sources rich in calcium oxide such as steel slag as the reactant, locking CO2 in the manufactured stone.
[0387] In embodiments, multiple methods and accelerants may be used in combination to stabilize and accelerate an accretion process and increase the amount of material produced and CO2 locked. In embodiments, CO2 may be dissolved in water and reacted using an electrochemical cell to precipitate CaCO3 out of the solution. This method may be optimized by controlling the pH as well as the concentration of calcium ions in the solution. In embodiments, an aqueous system similar to the one described above or the like may be designed to optimize the rate of CaCO3 accretion out of the solution. The system may be optimized so that the rate of lattice accretion matches the rate of CO2 dissolution into the aqueous solution.
[0388] In embodiments, microorganisms such as algae, bacteria, or the like that produce CaCO3 naturally may be harnessed. Certain strains of cyanobacteria or the like may be especially well suited for this task. In embodiments, calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 may be reacted CO2 with to form CaCO3. In embodiments, high temperatures, microwaves, high pressures, or the like may be used to accelerate the rate of accretion of CaCO3 from the reaction of CO2 and Cao. In embodiments, CaCO3 may be obtained by separating it out of chicken waste.
[0389] Removal of CO2 from gas or fluid may aggregate limestone by chemical or electronic methods and the like. A limestone accretion may be enabled from a gas by creating a fluid transport layer between the gas and the accretion surface or may use a dispersion chamber prior to the fluid introduction to the accretion substrate. The fluid layer orAttorney Ref.4716-2-POA dispersed fluid maybe be optimized to absorb CO2 from the gas and to react with the substrate to produce carbonate chemicals or products such as engineered stone, ceramics, or steel.
[0390] Such methods may include but are not limited to the accretion of CO2 to a substrate such as calcium oxide (CaO), structural steel or iron, basalt, and the like which may be enhanced in reaction time by the introduction of additional catalysts or electrification of the working fluid and / or substrate. The velocity, heat, and pressure of the working fluid may be regulated to improve or optimize the type and / or time to accretion for finished products.
[0391] In embodiments the accretion maybe be particulates that are processed into engineering stone or other composite products. The working surface and / or fluid may be optimized by chemical, electrical, or geometric means to accelerate or induce a specific type of accretion. In embodiments geometric optimization may be to utilize a lattice structure to accrete across a volume rather than a 2 dimensional substrate. Various combinations may yield various attributes such as increased compressive strength or reduced mass and the like.
[0392] In embodiment such methods as are known in the art may be applied to accelerate the formation of either the feedstocks or the accretion or precipitation. Combinative methods may be used such as combining catalysts, pressure, heat, and electricity to accelerate production of limestone from CO2 to allow production to keep pace with emission rates of various energy and industrials processes.
[0393] In embodiments lime or limestone may be precipitated or reacted from a working fluid to form particulates or solids. The working fluids may be but are not limited to air, water, or an energy or industrial process waste stream. Limestone may be accreted, heat bonded, or pressure bonded and the like or any combination thereof. Capturing the waste stream and heat may mean that no additional heating of the reactor is required; no catalyst may be required either. In embodiments, CaCO3 might emerge from the reactor in a powdered, granular form,Attorney Ref.4716-2-POA
[0394] In embodiments the systems and methods described above may be used to extract CO2 from natural bodies of water in the form of limestone slab or particulates. Synthetic CaCO3 particulates may be used in precipitated powdered form to adjust the Ph of the natural body to reduce acidification.
