The City Chloroplast skyscraper concept puts this research into practical use, doing the job of a massive plant that absorbs CO2 from the city air on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>An entry at this year\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.evolo.us\/\">eVolo Skyscraper Contest<\/a>, the City Chloroplast is a massive carbon-capture device inspired directly by nature. Following the Chinese Government\u2019s proposed policy of \u201cCarbon Peak\u201d in 2030, and \u201cCarbon Neutrality\u201d as early as 2050, the City Chloroplast works by removing CO2 from the air. The CO2 reduced to methanol by a catalyst and then converted by enzymes to carbon sugar units, then to starch. \u201cIn our skyscraper design, we designed different parts of the skyscraper, combining the steps and processes of carbon dioxide collection and capture, transportation, storage, and eventually starch production,\u201d say the designers behind the concept. The primary structure of the skyscraper is equipped with membranes that collect and divide CO\u2082, which will then be directed through a massive transverse pipeline to an expansive circular chamber for storage.

The artificial starch anabolic pathway (ASAP), consisting of 11 core reactions, was drafted by computational pathway design, established through modular assembly and substitution, and optimized by protein engineering of three bottleneck-associated enzymes. Although the laboratory method is a long way from being sustainable, energy efficient, economically viable or a replacement for traditional agriculture, it\u2019s a breakthrough in artificially synthesizing starch from CO2, which is a world-first.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/proposed-skyscraper-concept-harvests-co2-from-the-air-and-turns-it-into-starch\/the_city_chloroplast_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1221\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-418772\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/26\/proposed-skyscraper-concept-captures-co2-from-the-air-and-turns-it-into-starch\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Proposed skyscraper concept captures CO2 from the air and turns it into starch\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/proposed-skyscraper-concept-harvests-co2-from-the-air-and-turns-it-into-starch\/the_city_chloroplast_3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/proposed-skyscraper-concept-harvests-co2-from-the-air-and-turns-it-into-starch\/the_city_chloroplast_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1221\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-418772\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/26\/proposed-skyscraper-concept-captures-co2-from-the-air-and-turns-it-into-starch\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Proposed skyscraper concept captures CO2 from the air and turns it into starch\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/proposed-skyscraper-concept-harvests-co2-from-the-air-and-turns-it-into-starch\/the_city_chloroplast_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5' style=\" margin: clear: both>\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n<span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sarang Sheth<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
