Three initiatives to capture carbon dioxide.
1. Build articificial trees. Dr Tim Fox from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers says,“Artificial trees are already at the prototype stage and are very advanced in their design in terms of their automation and in the components that would be used.” BBC NEWS
2. Algae-based photobioreactors. From the same report by the IME, “transparent containers containing algae which would remove carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis” and are suggested for new and old building facades.
3. Why stop at the facade. Studio Baubotanik is building something near Stuttgart that looks very… alive.
