Abstract
The "Liquid Tree" presents an innovative and sustainable approach to mitigating urban air pollution by using photobioreactors containing microalgae. This technology mimics and surpasses the natural process of photosynthesis, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen to improve air quality in dense urban environments where space for traditional green solutions is limited. Developed as a low-maintenance, efficient, and adaptable solution, the Liquid Tree aims to address the severe environmental and public health challenges caused by rapid urbanization and industrialization. Its deployment offers a promising strategy for creating healthier, greener cities by filtering pollutants, sequestering carbon, and promoting sustainable urban living. The purpose of this review is to provide a wide aspect of Liquid tree, carbon sequestration and environmental remediation. This review evaluates current research work on Liquid Tree.
Keywords: Liquid tree, air pollution, carbon sequestration, environmental remediation
