12. A system for sustainable economic development, the system comprising:
-
a feedstock component, wherein the feedstock component provides a substance containing carbon into the system; an extraction component;
wherein the extraction component dissociates the feedstock into at least two byproducts;
at least one of the byproducts containing carbon;a resource extraction sub-system for extracting a desired resource from the feedstock byproducts, wherein the resource extraction sub-system includes; a resource generation component;
wherein the resource generation component dissociates elemental carbon from the byproduct containing carbon; andan energy component, wherein the energy component is configured to provide energy to the resource generation component to assist in separation of the desired resource from the feedstock byproduct; an additional resource generation sub-system for generating at least one additional resource from at least one feedstock byproduct or at least one byproduct within the resource generation component after separation of the desired resource from the feedstock, wherein the additional resource generation sub-system includes; a byproduct reception component, wherein the byproduct reception component is configured to receive one or more byproducts from the feedstock or the resource generation component; and an energy component, wherein the energy component is configured to provide energy to convert the one or more byproducts in the byproduct reception component into additional resources; byproducts from the feedstock or the resource generation component being reinvested into at least one of the resource generation component, the extraction component, the resource extraction sub-system energy component, or the additional resource generation sub-system energy component, forming an autogenous energy cascade within the system. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
