Mine Mine Mine

This project takes place on land where once, through systematic planning and intimate knowledge of the country, the landscape was designed through cultivation techniques resulting not only sustainable, but abundant and renewable necessities.

247,000km of land, proposed to be one of the world’s largest open cut mines, this collection of mines will more than double Australia’s annual coal exports resulting in this region in Queensland to rank in as the world’s seventh largest fossil fuel polluter. The end product jobs, money, energy and devastation- followed by rehabilitation which makes it all okay... right?

With the UN calling for the world to stop using coal within the electricity sector and for wealthier nations to cease in order to meet global warming goals.

Mine, mine, mine! Is a project that looks to clean renewable energy within an infrastructural project to not only give back to the environment but attempt to make up for past global negligence.

Taking advantage of technology in order to capture, store and use clean energy but also capture carbon already within the atmosphere and store it safely resulting in negative emissions.

The project speculates an energy factory on what would be thought of as a stupid scale, but I beg to differ.
