This scheme transforms the area dominated by the former oil refinery at Coryton, which is on the Essex side of the Thames Estuary, into new sustainable sources of energy and materials. This marks the beginning of closing down many fossil-fuel-burning power stations, refineries, and factories. It explores an alternative way of producing a clean source of energy and self-sufficient farming. The scheme converts an abandoned industrial site into a productive forest landscape, maintaining and foraging the biodiverse forest. It proposes an experimental agricultural belt at the abandoned Coryton refinery site.

Through a vast network of algae canopies, it begins with the production of biodiesel from algae and the residual biomass, which is used as cattle feedstock. This scheme proposes a radically different approach to sustainability issues from that usually offered by contemporary design culture.
