Singapore has unveiled an innovative solution to tackle urban air pollution — vertical algae panels installed along busy highways. Acting as “living filters,” these panels absorb carbon dioxide directly from vehicle emissions while releasing fresh oxygen, all in the midst of heavy traffic.
The algae-filled structures not only combat greenhouse gases but also serve as visual reminders of the city’s sustainability commitment. The panels are designed to adapt to Singapore’s tropical climate, requiring minimal maintenance while maximizing CO₂ capture.
Authorities believe this eco-friendly technology could significantly reduce carbon footprints in densely populated cities, offering a scalable model for urban environments worldwide.
