    An algae lamp that absorbs the same CO2 as 150 trees

    A lamp capable of absorbing as much carbon dioxide as at least 150/200 trees. This is the promise of the French biochemist Pierre Calleja who designed a lamppost which, by exploiting the action of micro-algae, would be able to absorb a ton of carbon from the air every year.

    A lamp capable of absorbing so much carbon dioxide as much as at least 150/200 trees. This is the promise of the French biochemist Pierre Calleja who designed a lamppost which, by exploiting the action of micro-algae, would be able to absorb one from the air ton of carbon every year.




    The Calleja lamp, a kind of illuminated aquarium full of Co2-eating algae, would be able to attract i greenhouse gases from the sky even indoors such as garages or underground cellars.

    Currently the lamppost is in an experimental phase, installed in some pilot points and waiting to obtain financing or partner companies for the mass production of this technology that could make the fight against global warming as easy as flipping a switch and turning on the light.



    In the video you can see the lamp in action and Calleja explaining the principles on which it is based:

    If it were to be marketed, would you install a carbon-eating algae lamp?
