Making cities sustainable using coal
Here is an email I received today
Message
“To all of you associated with Jean Cannon I do want to say how much I appreciate Jean’s support. By her example she has kept me true to the faith.
The essential part to the paper that I am presenting at EcoForum 2010 spells out how we can design a near sustainable Australia.
I do hope you will read about it in the PDF as attached to this email.
Thank you Jean and kind regards to all who read this email.
Jolyon Nove.”
Note from Jean – In fact I had trouble inserting this PDF so I copied the content below.
Eco Forum is a truly worthwhile annual conference and will be held in Sydney on 23-24 Feb 2010.
I will also be there presenting the results of a workshop where we looked at reducing the carbon footprint of the conference at the 2009 event.
The Design of Five Near-Sustainable Australian Cities

Australia has copious quantities of coal. We must use this coal in a near-sustainable manner to obtain near-sustainable cities. We therefore need to use all the exhaust gasses and solids that thermal power stations produce.
I suggest that we remove most of the SOxs and NOxs from the exhaust gasses after power generation for further industrial use. I then suggest that we use the gaseous carbon waste products to produce phytoplankton in a contained body of sea-water.
The remaining ash particle solids are useful in the manufacture of concrete and roadbase material.
I further suggest that thermal power stations use the method of producing peak power to ensure the most cost and energy efficient method of transporting the gaseous carbon into the contained body of sea-water. In Australia we generally propose this in accordance with an Australian Patent Office Patent No. 749641
greenhouse gas emission disposal from thermal power stations, Inventor Jolyon Emanuel Nove.

I believe this methodology will produce energy, desalinated water, food, and fuel in a near-sustainable manner for all Australians for all time.
The more difficult issue is where we design and locate our near-sustainable cities and adjacent agricultural areas based on this methodology and how we fund their construction. I believe the answer to that question lies in the methodology we used for the Snowy Mountains Scheme, as applied to retrofitting existing cities and the construction of new greenfield city sites.
Sir William Hudson, the Commissioner of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority, wrote this about Jolyon:
“I was delighted to learn of your success in the International Design Competition … Your achievement reflects great credit not only on yourself and your two colleagues but on the Snowy Scheme and for this reason the Authority is proud of your efforts
