Artificial trees scrub CO2, help cool earth
The green cover over the earth is fast diminishing as we humans cannot help ourselves but evolve. When trees are being floored for personal gains, there is hardly hope that we would survive. Our chance could be the artificial trees developed by a team of researchers at Global Research Technologies, LLC.
These trees have been developed with the aim of scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere, leaving just a saturated residue behind. Trees only in the name, these are towers filled with a special resin developed by a Professor at Columbia University New York.
This alkaline resin has the ability to soak up CO2 for an indefinite period. The addition of water to the dried resin releases the CO2 which is then captured. This process is not just favorable for the ecology; the purified version of this gas would have buyers interested from various industries, meaning that the cost of carrying this experiment can be evened out.
