algae, artificial trees and geoengineering



"Artificial trees and tubes of algae on the sides of buildings could absorb most of the UK's annual carbon dioxide emissions"
Some really interesting articles about geo-engineering strategies to absorb CO2 emissions. The Institute of Mechanical Engineers are advocating growing algae in tubes on the sides of buildings and the use of artificial 'trees'.
The Institution of Mechanical Engineers' 'battle plan' for climate change includes geo-engineering
Fake trees, algae tubes and white roofs
Ambitious plan to breed microalgae in greenhouse with the potential to absorb carbon emissions
