Air pollution is a serious environmental problem mainly caused by the high amounts of CO₂ emission. According to the Worldometer Tunisia’s CO₂ emissions hover near 32 million tons annually, with recent figures indicating a roughly 3% year-over-year increase.
Therefore this project’s aim is to decrease the volume of this gas in the air.
In fact, our system is designed to reduce the atmospheric CO₂ through a biological carbon capture while producing oxygen via a chemical reaction called photosynthesis of cyanobacteria whose role is to absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere and produce oxygen. We will optimize the results of this reaction since we manipulate many physical variables such as humidity, temperature, light intensity and exposure, pH level, liquid concentration and nutrients availability using solar energy.
This IOT approach will collect the real time data through its sensors, analyze it, then send it to the user’s application and provide the user with real-time information of the CO₂ volume reduced by litre and alert him in case of abnormal activity.
This device will be extremely practical since it is a multifunctional outdoor table in cafes equipped with charging ports using solar energy in order to sustain the environment and promote a cleaner urban space with an accuracy of oxygen production of 73%
