Algae bio-curtains capture carbon dioxide from the air, releasing oxygen through photosynthesis as an alternative to urban trees in collaborative project

An alternative to urban trees known as "bio-curtains" is being developed by a team of architects and scientists in London. The curtains use the power of algae to absorb carbon dioxide from the air. The architects EcoLogicStudio created the technology in collaboration with University College London and University of Innsbruck.
