As climate change accelerates, researchers are developing new solutions.
Hypergiant's Eos BioReactor captures carbon from the air with 400 times the efficiency of a tree. The algae inside uses light to convert carbon dioxide into a biomass. The results can be used for food, fertilizer, or other purposes. When connected to an industrial HVAC system, it cleans the air exhaust before it's released into the sky.
The Water Harvester operates using an innovative technology called metal-organic frameworks, which use nanoparticles to pull drinkable water straight out of the air. It works even on the driest days in a desert. Technologies like this could be lifesaving for the two billion people worldwide who lack access to safe, clean drinking water. |
