Building Panels Help Reduce Carbon Emissions from Your Home LINK

In A Nutshell:

A UCL master's student has developed a carbon-capturing building material, cyanobacterial engineered living material (C-ELM), which utilizes living cyanobacteria within translucent panels to absorb CO2 and convert it into calcium carbonate, effectively sequestering carbon from the atmosphere.

Key Points:

• C-ELM can capture significant amounts of CO2, potentially transforming building construction into a major carbon sequestration process.

• Besides carbon capture, C-ELM panels are lightweight, sound-absorbing, light-transmissive, and thermally insulating, enhancing building energy efficiency.

• This biomaterial, inspired by natural processes, represents a significant step towards reducing the construction industry’s carbon footprint.

Why It Matters:

C-ELM’s development is crucial as it offers a practical and scalable method to significantly reduce the environmental impact of one of the largest carbon-emitting industries, making strides towards more sustainable architectural practices.
