TECT-M/concept

The energy and climate turnaround, which is being driven by the municipalities.

“NEW WORLDS” is a System of Systems (SoS) whose elements are themselves independent systems. It consists of the four SoS, or specific New Worlds: NWMP (New World of Material and Products), NWEC (New World of Energy and Climate), NWAB (New World of Architecture and Buildings), and NWFBD (New World of Farming and Balanced Diet). 

The technological foundation of NEW WORLDS is an innovative, in-house developed system with emergent properties for the production of Carbon Dioxide Nanotubes (CDN).  

Together—the SoS and the system with emergent properties—they enable us to define the main goals of NEW WORLDS: 

• RENEWABLE BASELOAD ELECTRICITY from local sources for everyone—at a price affordable to all.
• ABSORPTION OF CO₂ FROM THE AIR as a raw material—reducing levels to pre-industrial levels.
• EQUAL ACCESS TO BUILDING MATERIALS— for all citizens of our planet.
• Reduction of global RESOURCE CONSUMPTION and WASTE GENERATION.
• Reduction of global EMISSIONS OF CLIMATE-HARMFUL GASES.
• Access to a BALANCED DIET— regardless of location, time, or social status

CO₂ from the atmosphere as a raw material; the production of the material—Carbon Dioxide Nanotubes (CDN)—using systems with emergent properties; continuous improvement in the quality of the materials produced; customized products made from materials with optimized properties; and a circular system based on the cradle-to-cradle principle.

Pronounce: /nju:/ /i: si:/

A baseload wind power system consisting of an environmentally friendly Lightweight High Altitude Wind Turbine (LHAWT) system with a high hub height, a sodium-ion battery system (SIB)—both made possible by Carbon Dioxide Nanotube (CDN) material—and an integrated third system for producing CDN for new baseload wind power systems using low-cost electricity; implemented decentrally and locally in populated areas as part of energy communities; guaranteed profitability through 100% electricity utilization, which enables financing via leasing; as well as the possibility of mounting electrical defense weapons such as laser cannons and microwave weapons at high altitudes in the towers.

The structural framework is made of CDN material; the walls are constructed using a solid wood block system made from damaged, low-grade, and scrap wood—which is currently used primarily for energy production—and the interior walls are plastered with clay; the non-destructive dismantling of the walls and structural framework is carried out in accordance with the principles of the circular economy, based on the cradle-to-cradle approach. Gravel, sand, and cement are used almost exclusively in civil engineering.

Proclimate greenhouses, which are suitable for all climate zones, form the foundation for local plant-based food production; the ALDUS system ensures a balanced diet regardless of time, place, or social status; both NWAB and NWEC are required for the implementation of Proclimate greenhouses and the ALDUS system; Local wind turbines that provide baseload power form the backbone of all local operating sites, which, in the SYNERGY phase, also include the core operations of specialized local food chains; these companies benefit from low electricity generation costs without grid fees—a factor of great importance. 

1. Carbon Dioxide Nanotube (CDN)

TECT-M/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are derived from CO₂ in the air, which is why we refer to them as Carbon Dioxide Nanotubes (CDNs). CDNs are single-walled SWNTs with outstanding properties. The inability to control the catalytic formation of various valuable nanostructures poses a major challenge. Our approach to producing CNTs with controlled diameters and quality involves translating mechanistic models of CNT growth from the scientific literature into an innovative, flexibly adaptable cyber-physical system with emergent properties and conducting iterative testing programs to determine production parameters that meet the target specifications.

2. Model value 30.5 MWh for all

Prosperity, health, and education, as well as political, industrial, and military power, are directly linked to the available energy supply. TECT-M/concept’s plans and model calculations are based on a per capita consumption of 30.5+ MWh for the entire population in the form of electricity—and, when necessary, hydrogen and e-fuels derived from it. In the model calculations, this value is incorporated into factors such as TECT-M/regions, primary energy consumption, the production of Carbon Dioxide Nanotubes (CDN) using CO₂ captured from the air as a raw material, and spatial planning. In the model calculation for 4.9 billion people, 37.7 billion tons of CO₂ would be captured from the air as a raw material (equivalent to 61.4 billion tons for a global population of 9.7 billion).

A single indicator tells us everything about a country’s theoretical potential to drive the development of its own economy and global climate change using the Exponential Expansion Process Model (EEPM): It is the average CDN production volume of the local 30.5 SiO production systems. Everything depends on this figure—for better or for worse. A high value goes hand in hand with high revenue and profits. The summary of the model calculation yields the following ranking of average CDN production per 30.5-SiO production facility (in tons): 1. East Africa 5,788, 2. Central Africa 5,781, 3. West Africa 5,778, 4. Africa 5,307, 5. India 4,595 – North America ranks 14th with 194.

3. Exponential Expansion Process Model (EEPM)

The global infrastructure for 30.5 MWh per capita is being built from the ground up, using affordable electricity and without consuming critical raw materials from the earth. The EEPM, which makes large amounts of electricity available for the cost-effective production of Carbon Dioxide Nanotubes (CDN), forms the foundation for everything; EEPM and CDN are interdependent. Only by combining the two can we achieve the goals of carbon neutrality and, by 2050 at the latest, remove more gigatons of CO₂ from the atmosphere than are currently being emitted.

4. Lease financing 30.5 infrastructure

The Exponential Expansion Process Model (EEPM) makes it possible, after a brief start-up phase, to continuously sell all electricity generated by the baseload wind power system under contractually agreed terms. The SoS is therefore always profitable and enables lease financing without subsidies. Based on a projected global population of 9.7 billion people in 2050, per capita consumption of 30.5 MWh, and electricity generation of 60 GWh per 30.5 SiO production system, this results in a total of 4.93 million 30.5 SiO production systems with three base systems: For the CDN production system at 1,250 tons/year, the investment costs amount to 304 trillion euros; for the value of 3,111 tons/year from the model calculation, they amount to 448 trillion euros.

5. EDT-AI Management System (EDT-AI-MS) 

By expanding the classes of Experimentable Digital Twin (EDT) components to include ERP systems and AI models, the Digital Twin provides a comprehensive representation of the planned or existing system in its current development phase; that is, it encompasses all data, models, and information available at that point in time that are necessary for automated system/enterprise control to best achieve the defined objectives. Each individual system controls its own tasks, goals, and resources independently.

Simulation technology brings Digital Twins (DT) to life; Digital Twins become Experimentable Digital Twins (EDT). The Digital Twin consolidates all data generated during the lifecycle of the Real Twin, utilizes it in the individual development phases, exchanges it among systems, and makes it available in IT systems. Using artificial intelligence (AI) methods, the data sets are monitored, scaled, and analyzed so that insights can be gained and immediately utilized—for example, for predictive quality assurance.

6. System of Systems (SoS)

The NEW WORLDS are based on the TECT-M concept as a system of systems (SoS), i.e., as a system whose elements can themselves be independent systems. It consists of the four SoS, or specific New Worlds: NWMP (New World of Material and Products), NWEC (New World of Energy and Climate), NWAB (New World of Architecture and Buildings), and NWFBD (New World of Farming and Balanced Diet). The integration of systems into an SoS leads to emergent behavior of the SoS; the SoS possesses properties that its subsystems do not exhibit on their own.

7. Municipalities and large energy consumers

Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) plan and operate their standardized 30.5 infrastructure using the EDZ-KI Management System (EDZ-KI-MS). Based on a projected global population of 9.7 billion people in 2050, per capita consumption of 30.5 MWh, and electricity generation of 60 GWh per system, this results in 4.93 million LHAWT systems with three base systems. If the 1,143 tons of CDN production per system—assumed as the minimum value—can be increased to 3,111 tons, as in the model calculation, CO2 sequestration during raw material extraction increases by a factor of 2.72 to 61.4 billion tons per year. For large energy consumers such as steel mills, chemical plants, logistics companies, data centers, etc., the standardized systems are adapted using the EDZ-KI-MS. 

1. Regional catapult systems 

Regional catapult systems solve the chicken-and-egg problem of initial energy for the first regional 30.5 SiO production systems and place the respective regional exponential expansion process model curve on a broader foundation. In a self-reinforcing process, each regional catapult system produces Carbon Dioxide Nanotubes (CDN) for electrodes, fiber fabric semi-finished products, and lightweight construction systems not only for an initial 30.5 SiO production system, but for a larger number of initial systems over a specific period of time, leading to faster achievement of expansion goals. 

2. 30.5 SiO production system 

The 30.5 SiO production system generates local renewable baseload energy in the form of electricity—and, when needed, hydrogen and e-fuels derived from it—at unbeatable prices for municipalities and large energy consumers. Based on a projected global population of 9.7 billion people in 2050, per capita consumption of 30.5 MWh, and electricity generation of 60 GWh per 30.5 SiO production system, this results in a total of 4.93 million 30.5 SiO production systems with three basic system configurations: With the CDN production system at 1,250 tons/year, the investment costs amount to 304 trillion euros; at the value of 3,111 tons/year from the model calculation, they amount to 448 trillion euros. If the 1,143 tons of CDN production per system—assumed as the minimum value—can be increased to 3,111 tons as in the model calculation, the CO2 absorption during raw material extraction increases to 61.4 billion tons per year.

3. Lightweight High Altitude Wind Turbine (LHAWT) system

The logo for TECT-M/concept – featuring a silhouette resembling the Eiffel Tower. The LHAWT system’s high hub height of over 450 meters and its vertical turbine give this system the advantage of significantly lower environmental impact, as the turbines are not directly visible, appear static when viewed from the ground, and operate virtually silently. At higher altitudes, the wind generally blows stronger and more continuously, which offers two advantages: The energy harvested from the wind increases proportionally to the square of the wind speed, and due to the shorter and less frequent periods of calm over the course of a month, high demand can be met with just two days of electricity storage capacity. Based on a projected global population of 9.7 billion people in 2050, per capita consumption of 30.5 MWh, and electricity generation of 60 GWh per LHAWT system, this results in a total of 4.93 million units with investment costs of 104 trillion euros.

4. Sodium-ion battery system 

LHAWT systems are integrated with scalable sodium-ion battery systems (SIB) for the design of baseload wind power systems. With an electricity generation capacity of 60 GWh from the LHAWT system, a sodium-ion battery system (NIB) with a capacity of 329 megawatt-hours (MWh) is required to provide two days of storage—this corresponds to approximately 4,000 82-kWh drive batteries. The solution is based on two pillars: Carbon Dioxide Nanotube (CDN) electrodes and the Exponential Expansion Process Model (EEPM). Based on a projected global population of 9.7 billion people in 2050, per capita consumption of 30.5 MWh, and electricity generation of 60 GWh per LHAWT system, this results in a total of 4.93 million SIB systems with investment costs of 104 trillion euros.

5. Base-load wind power system

Lightweight High Altitude Wind Turbine (LHAWT) systems with a hub height of over 450 meters are integrated into the design of baseload wind power systems coupled with scalable sodium-ion battery systems (NIB). Based on LHAWT system rates of 3.0 ct/kWh, the base-load system rates range between 5.40 and 7.80 ct/kWh. The base-load wind power systems can continuously deliver high power output throughout the year and are therefore also suitable as carrier structures for energy weapons for defense.

6. Scalable CDN production system

Based on a projected global population of 9.7 billion people in 2050, per capita consumption of 30.5 MWh, and electricity generation of 60 GWh per 30.5 SiO production system, the total number of 30.5 SiO production systems with three basic systems comes to 4.93 million. The total investment costs for the CDN production system with a capacity of 1,250 tons/year amount to 97 trillion euros; at a value of 3,111 tons/year from the model calculation, they amount to 241 trillion euros.

7. SIB electrode production system

Based on a projected global population of 9.7 billion people in 2050, per capita consumption of 30.5 MWh, and electricity generation of 60 GWh per plant, this results in a total of 4.93 million 30.5 SiO production systems. The storage capacity of the sodium-ion battery systems for two days amounts to 1.62 billion MWh, which corresponds to 19.8 billion 82-kWh drive batteries. Carbon Dioxide Nanotubes (CDN) and the Exponential Expansion Process Model (EEPM) enable these quantities, which can be produced either within specific local 30.5-SiO production systems or centrally. Already in the initial phase, the energy density rises to over 200 Wh/kg, while the costs drop to below 50.0 euros/kWh.

8. Hydrogen production and storage system

In the 30.5 model calculation, the entire energy supply is converted into electricity. A variable portion of the base-load wind energy is used for demand-driven hydrogen production. Among other things, “green steel” —which is produced using processes that replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources and green hydrogen to reduce CO₂ emissions in steel production—is economically viable thanks to the low electricity generation costs of local 30.5 SiO production systems with integrated hydrogen production systems and the comparatively low transportation costs.

9. E-fuel production and storage system

In the 30.5 model calculation, the entire energy supply is converted into electricity. A variable proportion of the base load wind energy generated in a local 30.5 SiO production system is used for demand-driven hydrogen production, with another variable proportion used for the synthesis of e-fuels. If greenhouse gas emissions can be avoided through the use of e-fuels, efficiency is irrelevant as long as renewable primary energy is available in abundance.

10. Fast charging stations and refueling systems

The cost per kWh at public charging stations varies widely and typically ranges from 40 to 80 cents. At slower AC charging stations, the cost is usually 40 to 60 cents, while DC fast-charging stations often cost 60 to 80 cents or more per kWh. A 30.5 SiO production system can supply on-site facilities with baseload power at unbeatably low prices, as production costs are low and no transmission or distribution lines are required. This also benefits the fast-charging stations and gas stations built at the 30.5 facilities.

11. 30.5 SOLO 3E operating site

The 30.5 operating facilities can be expanded in three stages. The first stage is the 30.5 SiO production system with up to six systems and optional fast-charging stations and refueling systems – SOLO for energy and Exponential Expansion Process Model (EEPM), abbreviated SOLO 3E. 

1. Industrial agriculture – maximizing “efficiency"

“Efficiency” is the term typically invoked in defense of large-scale industrial agriculture, and it usually refers to the economies of scale that can be achieved through the use of technology and standardization. […] With the industrialization of agriculture, the process of simplification reached its logical extreme—monoculture. This radical specialization enabled standardization and mechanization and led to the efficiency gains claimed by industrial agriculture. Of course, it all depends on how one chooses to measure efficiency.

2. Malnutrition – deadlier than any other risk factor

Ten percent of people worldwide suffer from hunger – and the rest eat the wrong things. This is a simplified summary of a comprehensive analysis published in the medical journal Lancet. According to the study, one in five deaths worldwide is caused by poor and unbalanced diet. The extent of the suffering thus amounts to approximately 11 million deaths and 255 million years of life lost around the globe each year.

3. Natural farming with a food pyramid based on green plants

Humans evolved under the influence of omega-3 fatty acid-rich foods. This has been changing slowly for 10,000 years and dramatically in the last 200 years. [...] Most people associate omega-3 fatty acids with fish, but fish generally obtain them from green plants (especially algae); these are the source substances. Plant leaves produce essential fatty acids as part of photosynthesis; they occupy the cell membranes of chloroplasts and help them collect sunlight.

4. Balanced diet with the ALDUS system

Ultimately, everyone decides for themselves how good or bad their diet is. Without knowledge, it is impossible, because food quality and the right combination of foods are what matter. You can't tell what your fatty acid profile is just by looking at food, just like you can't tell how an animal was raised or fed just by looking at animal products. The basic idea behind a balanced diet is having a good mix of different polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated fatty acids.

5. CDN Economy

Development and production of carbon-negative (climate-positive) and/or resource-efficient products that replace carbon-positive (climate-damaging) and/or resource-intensive products made of steel, aluminum, copper, wood, plastic, etc.—but also entirely new products that were previously not possible—by SMEs and industrial companies across all sectors to fully exploit the potential of existing and new products based on CDN fiber fabric, semi-finished products, and lightweight components with specific quality characteristics. The goal is to ensure the quality-assured use of Carbon Dioxide Nanotubes (CDN)—recovered from production waste and end-of-life products—in the manufacture of new materials, without generating waste.

6. Building with a closed raw material and material cycle

"Although every person on Earth ‘owns’ an average of 148 tons of building materials, the wide disparity in actual ownership of building materials points to a problem that has received little attention or public discussion to date. For example, residents of industrialized nations possess approximately 335 tons of building materials per person, while citizens of the so-called Third World—who make up about 82% of the world’s population, or roughly 6.6 billion people—possess only about 75 tons of building materials per person [Werner Sobek].” NWAB’s mission is to ensure that all people on our planet have equal access to building materials.

7. New green industrialization

The Industrial Revolution (which began around 1750) led to profound changes in the economy, society, and technology. Through mass production, steam power, and mechanization, the Industrial Revolution brought unprecedented prosperity, rising wages, and falling prices for goods. Since the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels have been by far the largest source of greenhouse gases. NEW WORLDS uses the CO2 that has accumulated in the air since the Industrial Revolution to produce state-of-the-art cradle-to-cradle materials for building new infrastructure and for a new green industrialization. The core element of a comprehensive green industrialization consists of 30.5 local facilities with expansion stages tailored to the specific New Worlds: NWEC (New World of Energy and Climate), NWMP (New World of Materials and Products), NWAB (New World of Architecture and Buildings), and NWFBD (New World of Farming and Balanced Diet).

8. Expansion stages of the 30.5 operating sites 

The 30.5 operating site concept exploits location-specific synergies resulting from off-grid power supply with low generation costs, the size and location of the property, and Renewable Energy Communities (RECs). A 30.5 operating site can be developed in three stages: (1) SOLO 3E (2) SYNERGY and (3) AFFA – A FUTURE FOR ALL.

1. Global Infrastructure

Based on a global population of 9.7 billion people in 2050 and a model per capita electricity consumption of 30.5 MWh, 4.94 million local 30.5 SiO production systems will be required for NWECs. At a sales price of 62 million euros for the three basic systems, this corresponds to a total global cost of 306 trillion euros, which must be financed by energy consumers. The Exponential Expansion Process Model (EEPM) enables all electricity from the base-load wind power system to be sold continuously at contractually agreed terms following a short start-up phase. The System of Systems (SoS) is therefore always profitable and enables leasing financing without subsidies.

2. Global Companies and Manufacturing Facilities

Assuming that the average investment requirement for NWECs with regional and national companies and production facilities is 6.5% of revenue, the financing requirement for the globally active NWEC-earth GmbH amounts to 19.9 trillion euros (306 trillion euros multiplied by 6.5%).
This financing is to be provided exclusively through the internally developed D2E Ratio Financing Model (D2E-RFM)—where D2E stands for “debt-to-equity”—which consists of the following elements:
(1) debenture loans in the amount of 100 million euros each,
(2) advance payment invoices for the use of all intellectual property rights from Tect-M/IPR Ltd., and
(3) the leverage effect of NWEC-earth GmbH’s equity through the use of more than half of the after-tax remaining advance payment for investments in NWEC-earth GmbH in the form of capital increases by Tect-M/IPR Ltd.
