Punjab expands Liquid Tree microalgae project to fight urban air pollution and smog | carboncredit.io

Punjab's government is expanding its 'Liquid Tree' initiative, moving the first EPA-certified unit from Faisalabad to Lahore. The project uses microalgae to absorb carbon dioxide and reduce smog in urban areas. Over 100 microalgae species have been collected from across Pakistan for the program. In the initial phase, liquid trees will be installed in shopping malls and public spaces. Officials report a 33.2% reduction in particulate matter in Punjab and call the project a scientific solution to rising CO2 levels. The initiative is part of a broader push for technology-driven environmental improvements in the province.
