An update on the Technnion’s CyanoGems project (see here previously) that uses cyanobacteria to produce calcium carbonate for building materials. In the process photosynthesis absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide to reduce global greenhouse gases. https://www.timesofisrael.com/microbes-pave-the-way-for-a-living-green-alternative-to-cement-in-buildings/

A video about the 3D-printed cyanobacteria-derived building material developed by scientists at Israel’s Technion Institute (see here previously). Not only does it avoid the polluting manufacture process of concrete, but the new bio-based material removes carbon dioxide from the air. … Continue reading →

JNF-Canada, KKL-JNF and Startup Nation Central awarded their $1 million Breakthrough Climate Solutions Prize (CSP) to three Israeli projects: – two Technion professors (cyanobacteria in building), Tel Aviv University Prof Brian Rosen (green ammonia) and BGU Prof Menny Shalom (zinc-air … Continue reading →
