Punjab introduces Pakistan’s first EPA-certified 'Liquid Tree' technology
Another revolutionary development under the vision of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif to make Punjab an eco-friendly province as Pakistan’s first EPA certified ‘Liquid Tree’ is reaching Lahore from Faisalabad, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
According to the channel report, this is the first technology to be certified by EPA Punjab since 1987 that will absorb CO2 in the form of an artificial tree.
Maryam Nawaz said more than 100 types of microalgae were collected from Karachi to Khyber.
The capacity and effectiveness of each type of carbon sequestration were tested over a period of 7 months.
The most effective algae were obtained from Sukkur Sindh and its seeds were cultivated there with the help of GC University Faisalabad.
The stem has an AI-based calculator that tells how much CO2 is being absorbed and how much oxygen is being released at a time.
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif congratulates the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), researchers and the entire team for preparing a 'bio-artificial tree' to eliminate pollution.
The trial phase of the liquid tree is a testament to the creativity, expertise and passion of researchers, bio-scientists and the EPA of Punjab province.
A major achievement in the artificial tree project, the decision to expand the successful experiment of the 'liquid tree' developed through modern scientific research.
The successful experiment of the liquid tree will bring a big change in the battle for environmental improvement in Punjab province, Maryam Nawaz said.
In the first phase, "liquid trees" will be installed in large malls, both indoor and outdoor. Chief Minister said.
She said this technology will prove to be a game changer in reducing pollution in urban areas.
"Liquid tree" is a modern scientific method of cleaning carbon dioxide from the environment through a 'bio-reactor' by producing algae in water, Maryam Nawaz said.
This method is the latest scientific method of eliminating carbon dioxide and smog in cities, she added.
Maryam Nawaz said artificial trees in large plazas, commercial areas will improve the environment like real trees.
