Artificial Trees To Remove Carbon Dioxide From Air at Paige Brown blog

Artificial Trees To Remove Carbon Dioxide From Air. Now scientists at uc berkeley say they can do the same job. The process is chemically reversible. The trees, which use organic algae to replicate the processes of natural trees could be one way of improving air quality in areas lacking in green spaces. Climeworks, a swiss company, has 15 plants removing carbon dioxide from the air. His artificial trees can capture carbon dioxide directly out of the. A typical large tree can suck as much as 40 kilograms of carbon dioxide out of the air over the course of a year. The process can remove, compress and purify carbon dioxide by using low grade heat. Lackner has designed an artificial tree that passively soaks up carbon dioxide from the air using “leaves” that are 1,000 times more. We can save even more energy if the capture is passive — it isn’t necessary to have fans. Terraleaf is working on using chlorophyllin—the chlorophyll from a plant turned into a salt by adding sodium ions and copper—paired with an electrically conducting polymer to form a membrane. Compared to a real tree, this artificial metal tree uses resin to pull carbon dioxide out of the air 1,000 times faster.
