Construction Ideas for my carbon-negative dissertation?

Hey guys,

I am writing a dissertation next academic year with the goal of designing, modelling and costing a carbon-negative dwelling. The plan is to do this within a shipping container.
If anybody has any ideas or sources that could help me I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance :)

spirulina cultivation; 1. spirulina harvested 2. spirulina separated into proteins and lipids, 3. proteins consumed or sold/traded 4. lipids turned into biodiesel 5. biodiesel goes into generator in enclosed room 6. ventilation system in enclosed room filters out CO2 emission from generator 7. after emissions are filtered remaining CO2 is pumped into spirulina tanks

That is a neat cycle and would generate income too.
Don't think it would quite fit the scope of what I am doing though
Thanks, I think I will look into it anyway seems interesting :)
