So…wood?
Wood is dead. So, it’s like wood, but imagine if that wood was alive!
What alien faction of what game does this look like?
That one in Stargate Atlantis?
Looks like a Scrin building from Command & Conquer 3.
Right, knew i had seen this somewhere. Thought about Protoss but had mixed it up.
Hydrogel and algae.
I wonder about the upkeep, fungus, infections, if you use this in buildings?
is alive, grows and actively removes carbon from the air.
And gives the carbon back after it dies.
So they basically re-invented trees?
ANYTHING but reforestation! That’s for hippies
Is it more or less efficient than a grass roof?
Where does the CO2 go when it dies?
Look…man…the whole thing about carbon is the carbon cycle, right?
Well we are breaking that cycle by digging up long-sequestered carbon (in the form of long-chain hydrocarbons aka “fossil fuels”) and burning them up in alarming quantities.
At absolute best, this material will be carbon neutral.
We need more phytoplankton…when that consumes CO2 and dies, most of it sinks to the ocean depths forever, instead of coming up to the atmosphere.
I’d heard a fairly novel idea about farming trees and burying them as pulp in old mines, I’m sure it’s just ASKING for some kind of wild underground mine fire but … similar concept
