Inhospitable, inaccessible, and extremely remote alike the famed pole of inaccessibility, aka Point Nemo, the isolated locations in deserts, at sea, or in outer space are difficult for humans to settle, let alone to thrive in. Yet, they present a unique set of opportunities for science, economy, and geopolitics that are difficult to ignore. One of the critical challenges for settlers is the stable supply of energy both to sustain a reasonable quality of life, as well as to take advantage of the local opportunities presented by the remote environment, e.g., abundance of a particular resource. The possible solutions to this challenge are heavily constrained by the difficulty and prohibitive cost of transportation to and from such a habitat (e.g., a lunar or Martian base). In this essay, the advantages and possible challenges of integrating Fischer-Tropsch, artificial photosynthesis, and plasma catalysis into a robust, scalable, and efficient self-contained system for energy harvesting, storage, and utilization are explored.
荒凉、人迹罕至且极其偏远的地方，比如著名的难抵极（又称尼莫点），以及沙漠、海洋或外层空间中的孤立地点，人类很难在那里定居，更不用说繁荣发展了。然而，它们为科学、经济和地缘政治带来了一系列独特的机遇，不容忽视。定居者面临的关键挑战之一是稳定的能源供应，既要维持合理的生活质量，也要利用偏远环境带来的当地机遇，例如某种特定资源的丰富储量。往返于这样一个栖息地（如月球或火星基地）的困难和高昂成本，严重限制了应对这一挑战的可能解决方案。在本文中，我们探讨了将费托合成、人工光合作用和等离子体催化整合到一个强大、可扩展且高效的自给自足系统中，用于能量收集、存储和利用的优势及可能面临的挑战。
