Probably just a lame excuse to demolish normal trees in the city centre.

Oh yeah and the lovely shade that stagnant, smelly, algae casts for ppl to stand under and listen to the birds perched in the branches.

Algae is really good at absorbing co2 and producing oxygen
MensMagna
> The Liquid 3 photo-bioreactor consists of a glass tank filled with 600 litres of water and microalgae and a solar panel, which supplies electricity to a small pump. The pump brings air into the tank through tiny holes. The microalgae perform photosynthesis and convert water and CO2 into oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere. Biomass is a byproduct of the process.
> Unlike regular trees, the facility requires more maintenance. Every month the amount of water with microalgae has to be changed almost entirely and the biomass has to be taken out.
And this is somehow easier than to just have a tree, how?

There are breeds of algae capable of desalination. Algae can also purify the atmosphere of methane and carbon dioxide. In addition, algae can be tasty and nutritional.
Build giant versions of these, near costal cities that produce a lot of greenhouse gas.
Power them by burning the methane they collect.
Use a crossbred version of algae that accomplishes all three tasks above.
Oh look, we just solved drought, world hunger, and global warming.
*Nah, too expensive*

Or we could have, you know, trees?

I’d rather just have the trees….

News: city people rediscover standing water.

Ah yes
Install these
use them as an excuse to cut down all trees to gain space to build more shit
Get rid of these
Profit

Or just…you know plant trees?

Or…. We could just plant trees and do this for places where we can’t grow trees… like erm space?

I don’t think the intention is to replace trees, but rather put these in areas with air pollution, areas that aren’t otherwise being used, some rooftops, or attached to buildings, etc.

We have trees at home. The Trees at home:

So basically its just trees with extra steps? 😂

Or, hear me out, or plant more female trees. (The male trees produce the pollen and with no/few female trees to use the pollen, we humans suffer.) A more equal male to female tree ratio means more fruit (assuming cities plant fruit trees), less pollen, and no weird “tree” installations.

Humans are so fucking dumb. “Lets build a new type of tree.”
You idiots, just plant more trees.
ChaosCron1
Love the backlash this is getting.
There’s a concept that could be promising in areas where the city is having problems planting trees… Whether it’s logistical or political.
I for one like the aesthetic but it shouldn’t be used to replace trees

Or here me out… We just add green space to cities with real trees.

So how much water does it take to maintain these multiple algae farms across the city? And how smash proof are they? Cause I see them getting smashed when people are on a night out.

“alternative to trees” is a phrase i never thought I’d read.

But how does it capture carbon and release oxygen? I don’t see any openings

Did people graffiti dicks on trees before? Because they are going to graffiti dicks on them now.
