Fig Trees That Grow Rocks From Carbon Discovered in Africa
It's well-known that trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air to create their structure's organic building blocks. Some trees go one step further, converting extra CO2 into limestone within their trunks. Now researchers have found a new example of such a plant that could be a suitable choice for agriculture. These trees can turn this greenhouse gas into calcium oxalate, which microbes then convert to calcium carbonate, aka limestone: the same mi…
The object resembles a pineapple, is green and becomes firmer. Ultimately, it is as hard as concrete. And it is designed to help save the climate by binding carbon dioxide (CO2) forever, or at least for a long time, and adding even more of this climate gas to its structure. Inside the pineapple, cyanobacteria, formerly called blue algae, grow. They have the ability to bind CO2 through photosynthesis and convert it into carbonates.This group of r…
As we all know, trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air to carry out photosynthesis and then synthesize the substances they need. Studies have found that some types of trees will further convert excess carbon dioxide into stones and store them in the soil, which has become an alternative way to reduce carbon emissions.
