I think this is a great idea. Quicklime can be made from seashells. it can be a byproduct when culturing oysters, so it can actually be considered as renewable. With the concern of petroleum being more readily available than quicklime, we should note that petroleum is dug out hundreds of meters underground and petroleum is, in actually, mined raw and requires processing to produce useable petroleum. I think the challge for any new alternative energy discovery is not in wether it is more readily available than petroleum but rather, if it can be refined or used effectively and safely to produce mechanical energy. What I think you need is someone who can design a system that would make use of the processes you described to convert the raw energy to a useable form of energy.
