At Sun Earth Energy Limited {a UK Registered Company}, and other associated Companies, we have several times proposed Joint Ventures. With ourselves offering the technical, project management & systems expertise developed over the last 50 years of experience within the Company. The Investor Side will bring in 'capital' in terms of an investment/loan arrangement in exchange for a substantial shareholding within Sun Earth Energy Ltd {or other associated Company as deemed appropriate by both parties}.
Using Contracts {under UK Law} we will enter into a legal agreement covering the terms of the Joint Venture and the revised shareholdings of the Company - including a comprehensive shareholder agreement to cover the minority shareholders best interests. {which - depending on the level of investment be Sun Earth Energy Ltd}. There may also be a fixed term buy-out option to cover the investment element, and in the process give the investor a term limit and a known profit. Again depending on the level of Investment, a Residual Shareholding in Sun Earth Energy Ltd may also be a consideration to give the investor a longer term return.
Due to the nature of the large scale projects we intend to Design, Project Manage and Administer - the MINIMUM Crypto-Transfer Investment would need to be above €100 million (fiat equivalent at transfer}, in a limited basket of Crypto Currencies - Typically 
Bitcoin BTC; 
Ethereum ETH; 
Ripple XRP; 
Stellar XLM - these represent acceptable trade volumes and market capitalisation. We are open to other 'coins' or a basket of holdings, by further negotiations. We have receiving accounts with all the major Crypto-Currencies.
In addition with Crypto Currencies there is the 'thorny issue' of source and suchlike. We will be able to tackle such issues via our own Corporate Crypto Accounts. However we are keen to talk with those who were wise enough at the start to take large positions - and who may need something more tangible to associate their wealth with - such as a self sustaining city!
The first stage in this process, after an initial consultation, would be the establishment of a Memorandum of Understanding - MOU

Titan's Surface Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth
Don't take our word so this statement, check out JPL/NASA {Jet Propulsion Laboratory, since 13th Feb 2008!} LINK HERE
After reading this we have to ask the question: What is a Fossil Fuel? Or should we investigate the Abiotic Generation of Hydro-Carbons {citation below} on Titan and the Earth?
From the JPL 2008 article: "Saturn's moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth", according to new data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
Saturn's orange moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth, according to new data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The hydrocarbons rain from the sky, collecting in vast deposits that form lakes and dunes.
The new findings from the study led by Ralph Lorenz, Cassini radar team member from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Md., are reported in the Jan. 29 issue of the Geophysical Research Letters."Titan is just covered in carbon-bearing material -- it's a giant factory of organic chemicals," said Lorenz.
"This vast carbon inventory is an important window into the geology and climate history of Titan.

Our article entitled "Net Zero they do not have a Clue" has garnered a big responce, we penned it on 22nd June 2023 with a big section devoted to the Parliamentary debate covered by Hansard.
The image shown is part of the problem: 8 cooling Towers sending 65-70% of the Heat Energy in a Centralised Electricity Generating plant up into the sky! This cannot continue - Generation INEFFICIENCY is a major issue with the Centralised Power Network, both in the UK and other nations. It is too inefficient - so those EV vehicles getting their {electrical} charge from the 'mains' are just "importing" their waste.
But now Reuters reports, of news from Shell and BP, tends to indicate serious reservations - and thus COLD FEET!! Litterally!
See the Reuters Report in Full below: Web Linkage: https://1.reutersevents.com/LP=36061,
""Net zero and hydrocarbons – a case of and, not or""
""Media reports that Shell is taking an axe to jobs in its low-carbon solutions and hydrocarbon units -- Reuters reporting in October that around 15% of the Anglo-Dutch supermajor’s workforce would be cut -- have reinforced concerns that the industry’s commitment to net zero may be eroding in a high commodity price climate.
According to the reports, 200 jobs will go in 2024, with another 130 will be placed under review by the company.
The news represents a potential challenge for a company whose low-carbon division was intended to spearhead a transition to clean energy.
But it is not alone. BP – the first oil major to set a course to net zero back in 2020 – has also faced criticism from environmental activists over a scaling back of ambitious emission reduction targets. Climate-focused investors reacted negatively to BP’s February 2023 announcement that it would aim for a 20-30% cut to emission by 2030, compared to 35% previously.

We asked ChatGPT the following question, its answer was good as it has access to a phenominal amount of relevant data! We also like the way it mentioned wasted heat from {centralised electricity production}
"What are the main benefits of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems in a city enviroment?
ChatGPT Answered
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems, also known as cogeneration, offer several benefits when implemented in a city environment. Here are some of the main advantages of using CHP systems:
-
Increased energy efficiency: CHP systems use the heat generated during electricity production, which would otherwise be wasted, to provide heat to buildings. By capturing this wasted heat, CHP systems can achieve efficiency rates of up to 90%, compared to just 50% for conventional power plants.
-
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions: Because CHP systems use less fuel to produce the same amount of energy, they emit fewer greenhouse gases than conventional power plants. In addition, by using locally generated energy, CHP systems can reduce the need for energy to be transported long distances, further reducing emissions.
-
Improved energy security: CHP systems can provide a reliable source of electricity and heat to buildings, even during power outages or other disruptions to the grid. This can help to improve energy security in a city and reduce the risk of blackouts or other energy-related issues.
-
Lower energy costs: By generating electricity and heat on-site, CHP systems can reduce a city's reliance on expensive grid electricity and imported fuels. This can lead to lower energy costs for businesses and residents, which can be especially beneficial in areas with high energy prices.
-
Increased resiliency: CHP systems can help to increase the resiliency of a city's energy infrastructure, by providing backup power and heat during emergencies or other disruptions. This can help to reduce the impact of disasters and other events that may disrupt energy supplies.

Yes AD combined with CHP or even CHCP. What is all this acronym stuff eh?
AD is Anaerobic Digestion, its the sort of process that happens in a sewage works where all that nasty stuff is broken down by 'good' bacteria. What is left is largely safe but has given off lots of methane gas and CO2, along with some other trace stuff. Anaerobic means 'without Oxygen'.
So to create bio-methane by digestion of waste products has to be "Carbon (dioxide) Negative" as it is removing methane from being released into the atmosphere! See article below about atmospheric methane - CLICK HERE
Now that Methane is what we need. Its almost the same as Natural Gas that you buy at home. So it can be 'cleaned up' and sent down pipes to the gas mains or it can run a gas fired electricity generator.
But rather than just generate electricity, we also need to look at how effective the burning of gas in an engine really is. When gas is burned in say a modified car engine to drive a shaft to turn a generator to produce electricity, there are loses. These loses affect the efficiency of turning the energy value of gas into electricity. It is disappointing to discover that only around 20-25% of the gas burnt produces the electricity. The rest is 'low grade' waste heat.

Heat Networks
Heat networks have been used in many parts of the World {including the UK - The Pimlico District Heating Undertaking opened in the 1950's as the UK's first true district heat network. This pioneering system connected 1,600 council homes to the waste heat generated by [the then] Battersea Power Station. The network survives under Westminster City Council today, serving 3,256 homes, 50 business premises and three schools.} to deliver "WASTE HEAT" {typically from the generation of electricty} to homes, businesses and public buildings/swimming pools etc. We see them as Combined Heat and Power systems {CHP} and in the UK at the moment there is 862MWe being generated with the correspondent Heat Network {theoretically at 1600MW}
Coming to a city near you - BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH it would appear
“Although heat networks currently meet approximately 2% of the overall UK demand for heating, the independent Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has estimated that, with continued support, they could provide 18% by 2050.” The Climate Change Committee (CCC)
Meanwhile in North London, the Bunhill CHP installation has now incorporated waste heat expelled from London's Tube Train network - Bunhill 2.
In 5th generation networks, decentralised heat pumps draw heat from an ambient loop, meaning that excess heat can be removed and redirected to provide heat elsewhere. In this way, the system can provide both heating and cooling.
Another development in heating technology being tested is the ‘Internet of heat’. This is the idea that users could both buy and sell heat and energy, allowing consumers to become producers too. This could one day lead to local energy and heat markets, with distributed, decentralised micro-generation that would lower energy bills, increase efficiency.
Such schemes are key to overcoming the risks associated with establishing new heat networks, which currently acts as a barrier to realising their potential to deliver heat to homes. Retrofitting properties currently supplied by gas, in particular, is expensive. However in a 'new build' scenario, a Heat Network should be standard to maximise energy efficiency and thus minimise costs to the consumer.
