Problem
Organizations face challenges in meeting sustainability mandates and reducing their environmental footprint. Traditional solutions for carbon capture, water filtration, and renewable energy generation are often siloed, requiring separate installations and maintenance.
Solution
Airbuild offers an integrated, net-zero utility solution through its proprietary Biopanels and Biopods. These systems simultaneously sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide, filter water by removing organic contaminants, excess nitrogen, and phosphates, and generate renewable energy via integrated solar cells. This multi-functional approach provides a comprehensive strategy for environmental sustainability, enabling buildings and urban environments to operate more efficiently and with a reduced ecological impact. The technology aims to transform structures into active contributors to environmental remediation and energy production.
Target Audience
Target customers include commercial building owners, industrial facilities, sustainability contractors, and municipal governments seeking to enhance their environmental performance and meet climate goals.
Features
- **Carbon Sequestration:** Biopanels capture up to 200 kg of CO2 per year per panel, biologically removing greenhouse gases.
- **Water Filtration:** Systems naturally filter water, removing organic contaminants, excess nitrogen, and phosphates, improving water quality for non-potable uses.
- **Renewable Energy Generation:** Integrated solar cells produce clean energy, with Biopods generating up to 500 kW per acre and Biopanels up to 400 W per square foot, offsetting operational energy costs.
- **Modular Design:** Offers both building-integrated Biopanels and larger-scale Biopods for urban water treatment and environmental restoration projects.
- **Scalable Impact:** Quantifiable metrics for carbon capture (tons/year/acre), water filtered (gal/year/acre), and energy generated (kW/acre) demonstrate system performance.
- **Low Maintenance:** Designed for ease of maintenance, contributing to operational efficiency.
