bio curtains. they can be fitted to the outside of any building. lab. why do this? algae are very naturally efficient at turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. when the sun shines on the curtains, polluted city air is drawn in from the bottom of the curtain, the single—celled algae absorb the carbon and oxygen is released at the top. in terms of cleaning power he reckons one of these is equivalent to a mature tree. so far, the bio curtains have been installed at the customs and revenue house in dublin, and most recently the house of nobility palace helsinki. there are some drawbacks to the curtains compared to trees, as the algae grow they have to be harvested on a regular basis which requires maintenance. this is one reason the curtains work out more expensive than trees. though they take up less space. however, the inventors are convinced this is a smart solution that harnesses material already existing all around us. so now you know! simon french is back with us, chief economist for panmure gordon let's talk about some of the business stories. this
