Shamengo pioneer Pierre Calleja has designed algae lamps that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during the day then store the photosynthesised energy in a battery.
The lamps are a tube filled with mixotropic algae and a battery. During the day, the batteries are charged by the photosynthesis process, using both solar power and CO2.They will each absorb 1 ton of CO2 a year.


Wow, It's killing two birds with one stone!
