AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current methods for carbon sequestration, such as carbon capture and storage, are expensive and energy-intensive, and lack efficient solutions for capturing CO2 from the environment on a large scale, while initiatives to grow more plants are costly and limited in their carbon capture potential.

Method used

A system for artificial cultivation of Azolla using a meta-structure with carbon capture tanks, vertical and horizontal overflow pipes, and a facade material, along with sensors and a controlling unit to maintain optimal growth conditions, utilizing organic waste as fertilizer and ensuring regular water flow and pH management to enhance CO2 sequestration.

Benefits of technology

The system effectively increases carbon sequestration by promoting rapid Azolla growth, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers, and utilizing Azolla as a bio-fertilizer to offset greenhouse gas emissions, while being cost-effective and scalable.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system for enabling artificial cultivation of azolla for enhancing sequestration of environmental CO2 The system comprises a multi-level meta- structure, a set of carbon capture tanks, a set of vertical overflow pipes, a set of horizontal overflow pipes, a façade material. Each level of the meta-structure is configured to accommodate a pair of CCTs. The system further comprises an electrical pump for maintaining laminar water flow in each CCT, nozzle-based sprinklers installed over CCTs. The system also includes temperature and humidity sensors for sensing ambient temperature and humidity of the meta-structure, water temperature sensors for sensing temperature of water flowing through the CCTs. Furthermore, the system comprises pH sensors for determining pH of the liquid medium, a set of aerators to provide regular mixing of growth medium, a real time clock, a set of fans for regulating meta-structure temperature and humidity, a controlling unit, and a power source.
