Final Presentation Part 3 of 3

The project proposes that BP better enables the consumer’s increase in fuel consumption by utilizing three strategies:

·                     “Greening” their core product by remarkably increasing the bio-fuel content of petroleum-based fuel,

·                     Giving the consumer the opportunity to purchase carbon offsets for their personal fuel consumption and

·                     Providing a less expensive, more accessible fuel and power source in exurban terrains.

These strategies encourage the consumer to increase consumption, thereby facilitating expansion of BP’s current operations and profits. They are manifested architecturally through BP’s posturing of new algae production and carbon sequestration infrastructures which are:

·         An offshore platform facility for carbon capture & storage, petroleum production, algae farming and carbon research labs which is open to recreational public visitation.

·         Localized exurban re-fueling stations for BP’s new bio-petrol-fuel which contain:

·         Mini-refinery processing modules for algae oil and petroleum.

·         Algae production modules which sequester carbon from the refinery programs and produce the bio-mass for the fuel. 

·         Civic and community building programs which reinforce relocation into exurban terrains.

·         Interactive pumps offering the consumer the opportunity to purchase and learn about carbon offsets.
