Foreword:
The focus of this project was to visualize how so-called e-gas, a gas
that is generated using electrical energy, could substitute fossil
energy in existing industries without even having to build a completely
new infrastructure, since chemically (methane) it is very similar.
Various companies,like Nordic Blue Crude in Norway, Climeworks in Switzerland, but also Audi are working on such a future scenario.
This concept was combined with Elon Musks SpacX vision, which imagines a very similar technology to produce gas on Mars.
[L.E.N.T]
In the next 30 years, humanity will face difficult
challenges. World-changing challenges that we have never faced before in
the fields of energy, climate change, food supply, gene modification,
automation, future of the internet, economic disparity and city
planning.
However, we are survivors and we are explorers. We also want to expand our horizon by discovering and inhabiting other planets.
LENT
is a project for 2050s Valencia, where humanity uses rockets to travel
between planets and continents. It is a future transportation hub, but
also a public park, carbon dioxide capture center, and an energy plant.
We want to leave the earth, but also leave no trace.
Within the last decade, there has been a significant increase in
space investors. The investor number has grown from 20 to 180, with an
investment magnitude reaching up to 3,000 million USD.
Many start-up
companies are founded and adopted the re-useable rocket technology to
reduce cost per flight and make commercial rocket transportation
feasible. Two of the leading companies, Blue Origin and Space X are
planning to start their intercontinental travel within the next decade.
Our
proposal takes place in 2050, where all these developments are
speculated to a point where rocket travel has become a part of daily
life.
