Artificial trees: what are they? How do they work? And how could they help to prevent climate change in the future?Key facts
- The rate of climate change is increasing because of the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
- Scientists are developing artificial trees to try to mimic the natural process of photosynthesis to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
- Artificial trees absorb CO2, which can then be converted into liquid form and stored beneath the seabed.
- Scientists hope that emerging technologies such as artificial trees will be able to avert or reduce potentially devastating climate change.
