Alcarbo's Algae Walls Capture 32x More CO2 Than Trees, Tackling Climate Change in Hong Kong
Hong Kong-based Alcarbo Technologies has introduced an innovative solution to combat climate change: algae walls, or photobioreactors, that capture carbon dioxide at rates far surpassing trees. These structures have proven resilient even in extreme weather conditions.
Alcarbo's algae walls can capture up to 329kg of CO2 per year, significantly more than the 10kg to 30kg absorbed by a single tree. This makes them a promising tool in Hong Kong's fight against carbon emissions.
The company, led by CEO Dr. Wong, targets heavy emitters such as manufacturing plants, power suppliers, and logistics firms. By integrating algae walls into their operations, these industries can actively reduce their carbon footprint.
Unlike traditional methods, algae walls remain firmly in place during extreme weather events. Trees, on the other hand, can be uprooted by strong winds or heavy rain, rendering them ineffective in capturing CO2.
Alcarbo Technologies' algae walls offer a robust and efficient solution for carbon capture. With each wall capable of absorbing 329kg of CO2 annually, they could play a pivotal role in helping Hong Kong meet its climate action plan. The company's focus on heavy emitters ensures a significant impact on the city's overall carbon emissions.
