Did you know that the ?liquid trees? installed in Buenos Aires and Santa Fe are part of environmentally conscious technology? Inspired by a development from the Multidisciplinary Research Institute at the University of Belgrade in Serbia, these devices ? with no trunks or branches ? function as photobioreactors: they contain microalgae that absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis, with an efficiency between 10 and 50 times greater than that of a traditional tree.

In Buenos Aires, there is a model unit designed by CONICET in collaboration with YPF. Its structure includes solar panels, microalgae in glass pools, and a bench for three or four people, offering a purification capacity equivalent to 20 young trees. Another similar module operates in Capitán Bermúdez, in Santa Fe, powered by solar energy and using moss to capture as much CO? as 234 forest trees.

Technology plays a key role: sensors, pumps, and internet connectivity monitor air quality, algae levels, and equipment status. In this way, digital science and clean energy come together in a green architecture that goes beyond the classic tree.

This initiative offers an innovative solution for dense urban areas, where planting forests isn't feasible. And if it works at scale, why not turn it into a powerful ally in mitigating climate change?

?? At Urban Resources, we believe that caring for the planet is a collective challenge, and that's why technology like this inspires us.
