UK researchers developed 'Green Living Paint' containing a microbe that absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. Another UK-based company, Cyanoskin, produces an algae-based photosynthetic building paint that grows and thickens as it absorbs CO2. NASA scientist Dr Tanya Rogers developed a paint using olivine mineral to mineralise CO2. These paints aim to reduce CO2 emissions by transforming buildings into

Another UK-based company, Cyanoskin, produces an algae-based photosynthetic building paint that grows and thickens as it absorbs CO2. NASA scientist Dr Tanya Rogers developed a paint using olivine mineral to mineralise CO2. These paints aim to reduce CO2 emissions by transforming buildings into carbon sinks. |
