Proyectos del Programa #2
Sistemas para Reducir y Absorber Emisiones de CO2, Purificar el Aire y Agua de las Urbes, la Atmósfera y los Océanos
Situation:
To solve climate change, we need to absorb and reduce CO2 emissions, improve air quality, and prevent viruses from crippling development. Reducing pollution in both the atmosphere and oceans and preserving ecosystems are vitally important for the planet to sustain life as we know it now, and we are failing gravely in doing so. This leads to water scarcity, increased hunger, and poverty. In short, the quality of life for humanity and the environment is deteriorating rapidly.
Solution
This program promotes projects for the development of various technologies that work together with nature, to improve virus-free outdoor and indoor air quality, without contaminating water and soil, and save the oceans through biomimetic technologies, which absorb CO2 and release oxygen, purify the atmosphere, and can mitigate toxic, bioweapon, and chemical gases.
​
We discover how to make the integration of nature into cities profitable, with the functionality of generating and storing renewable energy and clean water.
In this program, the projects are oriented to develop the components of sustainable urban and rural areas, without pollution, that contribute to the solution of global warming, achieve the total reuse of waste, save the oceans, recover ecosystems, achieving in the process poverty and zero hunger.

(titles in English)
We develop District Energy projects, a comprehensive system of various renewable energies and biomass sources based on microalgae that can generate different fuels, such as: biogas, oils, biohydrogen, among others, to be used in substations and photobioreactor thermal power plants. microalgae for heating and cooling.
​
It is a system that integrates all buildings and infrastructures, which can function with microalgae photobioreactor substations, which are capable of fulfilling the function of wastewater treatment and biomass production to be used in the production of biogas, useful for heating systems in winter and electrical supply for cooling systems in summer. The building with bio-facades of microalgae solar panels will absorb CO2 and emit oxygen to contribute to the quality of the city's air.
​
The biogas generated, or if they prefer to maintain the old hot and cold water system, will be transported underground, the surplus of renewable energy and drinking water will be stored and distributed in a water battery, a pumped power station that will have various waterfalls and hydroelectric, in underground aquifers and where possible on the surface through waterfalls, rivers and lakes, for the generation of hydroelectricity, storage and distribution of different sources of Non-Conventional Renewable Energies (ERNC) that occur in the town.
The thermal central stations, will consist of large-scale microalgae photobioreactors, will be connected to the substations as backup systems to supply them, if necessary during hours of high consumption, will be located in offices of the Municipality, built with state-of-the-art technology, located in the main areas of the municipality. This system has the potential for sustainable energy efficiency to supply 100% of the energy consumption of the area where it is installed.
Recovery of Marine and Terrestrial Ecosystems

Food Production Project
We develop projects for the production of organic food in a biofactory-style system, where raw materials, renewable energies and water reuse are produced, without CO2 emissions, CO2 would be absorbed and oxygen would be released. The production of vegetables, greens, shellfish, molluscs and fish would be done through aquaponics techniques, which allows these systems to be installed in places where the soils are infertile or where the availability of land and water is scarce. We propose a model with current technologies integrated and improved in a complex of domes, which resist hurricanes, floods, fires and earthquakes, to ensure food under any conditions.
CO2 Absorption and Reduction Systems Project to Improve Air Quality in Cities
The overall goal of this project is to implement actions to absorb and reduce CO2 emissions and emit oxygen for air quality through biomimetic technologies, the integration of nature into cities, and energy efficiency.
​
This is the overall goal. Although our Air Quality management policy guarantees the transition of human activities toward a sustainable economy and development with 100% use of Non-Conventional Renewable Energy (NCRE), another project will be developed to implement this policy. However, given the public health emergency of addressing air quality, we are presenting this proposal as part of our CO2 Absorption and Emissions Reduction Projects.
Green Metro Stations Project that Absorb CO2, Emit Oxygen, Generate and Use Renewable Energies and Integrate Nature into Cities
The general goal of this project is to absorb and reduce CO2 emissions from transport, through the subway stations that run through the cities, integrating microalgae photobioreactors that treat wastewater in the process of absorbing CO2 and emitting oxygen, installing lighting in interiors and exteriors with microalgae lamps, which also perform these functions, the installation of microalgae solar panels and landscaping that integrates trees that contribute to the absorption of CO2 and wild flowers for the conservation of butterflies and bees, this system will supply enough water for irrigation, the use of fountains and nebulizers to improve thermal comfort indoors and outdoors.
The microalgae will be used to operate recharging stations for electric cars with biofuels or bioelectricity. The metro stations will be free of viruses and bad odors through industrial ozonators, microalgae lamps and nebulizers.
