Farms

In the past centuries the populated Europe was imprinted by one important raw material: the salt. Nowadays the production and transportation of another commodity structures our landscape and towns: the energy. The supply with renewable energy, water and food shortage as well as the climate change partly resulting from a high rate of CO2 Production a central themes of our society now. The idea consists in the creation of a biodiesel region out of the provided structures of old unused saltgardens. Onshore, saline by saline is turned into small decentral microalgaefarms. These farms can work and produce biodiesel (and lateron hydrogen) autonomous and self - sufficiently from each other. By the grow of microalgae the often air polluted cities near old salt gardens can get rid of the CO2 .The coastal water is cleared by the establishment of Microalgaefarms which reuse the structures of the old Musselfarms. Thus a farm works as ecological catalyst.
