As a continuation of the Green Cities Collection, which is all about the potential of current and future green technologies to transform our cities and energy systems, this painting came about when I read about the Xprize for carbon capture which was announced recently. It sounds like a great idea that instead of seeing carbon as a dangerous substance to be destroyed or limited, find a way that it can be harvested and re-used for the better.
This painting is of a very large extraction platform that is anchored in the deep ocean which harvests carbon out of the air and processes it to be shipped of for use in manufacture. I could imagine a large farm of these platforms extracting large quantities of carbon out of the air and converting it into a useful building material. The ships are all driven by electric engines that carry the extracted carbon to land and the airship floating above is used to transport workers to and from the platform.
