I spent last night at the Dana Centre, which is part of the Science Museum, attending a talk on geo-engineering called “My technology can save the world”. We had 3 very compelling theories proposed to us on how new pieces of technology can be introduced to assist in the fight against climate control and CO2 emissions by Tim Fox, Lindsey Malcolm and Nem Vaughan. The ideas were:
~ Artificial Trees - in lamens terms an electronic air filtering system
~ Bio-Char - remvoing the CO2 from the air and storing it in ways it can be reused for "green" methods such as crop fertilisation.
~ Photo-Bio reactors - creating bio-fuel by removing CO2 from the air to aid in the growth of the algae which can be converted into a fuel source.
As an audience we were then given an opportunity to grill the panel on their theories before voting, “Ready, Steady, Cook” style on which theory we favoured. The winner, with a large majority of the votes, was Tim Fox with his Artificial Trees.
