TOWER OF TERRA. 24H COMPETITION CO2

TOWER OF TERRA. 24H COMPETITION CO2
The "Green Tower" is a structure capable of radically changing the ecological and economic situation in a problem region, resuscitating processes that have been damaged in the course of human activity. This is how the Terra Tower project appeared. The project was based on a lot of ideas, but the main idea here was the idea of the "Energy Tower" project, developed by Frank Carlson, back in the late 20th century. A high tower sprays a small amount of water at its completion and produces reactions that cause hot, rarefied air to be sucked into the structure with great force, and at the outlet turn turbines that generate free electricity. We can get the energy that is so lacking to capture and purify CO2 from industrial enterprises, bury it, starting oil recovery processes, process it and turn it into natural fuel or into furniture and household items. We can share a small share of electricity with food entrepreneurs so that they can grow crops without using toxic fuel. We can use electricity to activate processes in prefabricated biospheres - greenhouses that will restore parts of forests, soil, and then entire ecosystems that will positively affect climate and CO2. The launched processes in biospheres, in addition to restoration, will also be able to receive free fresh water, which is so necessary for many regions now. This is a big idea that has a lot of inspiring research or even entire projects. We understand that the technology of the main element, the tower itself, is currently only being actively researched and is not yet being used. But we don't want to hide behind a fantastic technology to justify the project ideas, we want to encourage people to look for inspiration to create a variety of ways to solve CO2 problems, instead of driving the old ones.
