The Tidal Irrigation and Electrical System

The amounts of biopetroleum source material moving through a Tidal Irrigation and Electrical System are proportional to the size of the artificial atoll and the tidal flux. However, each square kilometer of ocean within the lagoon will produce many times more biopetroleum than any traditional source material.

Consider the following table:

Biofuel potential based on growth rates per square kilometer per year
Soya…………………………………………………. 50 cubic meters
Rape Seed…………………………………. 100 to 140 cubic meters
Mustard……………………………………………. 130 cubic meters
Palm Oil……………………………………………. 610 cubic meters
Algae/Marine Plants……………… 10,000 to 20,000 cubic meters

Given that global food prices are on the rise and millions are already starving, it seems criminal that agricultural land is being turned over to biofuels. Many of these biofuels have a very limited potential to meet the current demand for fuel, let alone the growth that is projected as India and China become more prosperous.

The potential profits to be made by meeting the world’s demand for fuel are as great as the fabulous wealth of the last century’s providers of energy. The TIE System can meet this demand and repay the cost of the construction of the installations in a remarkably short time. It does this by building on the virgin territory of the continental shelf.  Using the TIES energy solution, farm land is preserved for growing food and carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.
