AortaCity

The main vein leaving old town

The AortaCity energy system will be seen as a zero sum system. The amount of energy not been useful is leak. This leak is the main cost of running AortaCity systems. (My point of view.)

  • The total energy consumption of an AortaCity line is very low per capita in comparison with ordinary infrastructure systems of today. (My statement.)

  • Electricity will be the main source of energy used in AortaCity and it can be produced in different ways depending on where the AortaCity line is built. That will make the AortaCity structures very flexible and totally independent on how the electricity is produced. Talking plug and play!!!

  • To have the system sustainable for hundreds of years ahead, we think it is a good idea to supply the AortaCity lines with renewable energy systems. (Even uranium will be expensive in time.)

  • If you decide to build a parallel industrial AortaCity line, the surplus of heat energy can be used for heating of AortaCity. For heating/cooling it is also possible to use systems with heat pumps combined with solar heating systems.

  • Waste and sewage will be seen as energy resources in a recycling system. Some waste and sewage can be burned for power heating or it can be rot to methane gas.

  • Because of the intelligent structure of AortaCity, the flow of energy will be very cost-effective.
