As climate change accelerates, researchers are developing new solutions.
Hypergiant’s Eos BioReactor captures carbon from the air with 400 times the efficiency of a tree. The algae inside uses light to convert carbon dioxide into a biomass. The results can be used for food, fertilizer, or other purposes. When connected to an industrial HVAC system, it cleans the air exhaust before it’s released into the sky.
The Water Harvester operates using an innovative technology called metal-organic frameworks, which use nanoparticles to pull drinkable water straight out of the air. It works even on the driest days in a desert. Technologies like this could be lifesaving for the two billion people worldwide who lack access to safe, clean drinking water.

Metal-organic framework, acrylic, 3D printed parts, metal, electronics, with nanoparticles sample
Description: A wide cylindrical machine. The machine is mostly black and silver. At the top is a clear panel. Inside is a circular device with wires surrounding it. It connects to a panel of many wires. The panel has a small tube that connects to a small clear water bottle. The water bottle has water inside.
Small but Mighty Carbon Capture
AI-powered algae farm
Description: A box-like structure with a vertical door. The exterior of this bioreactor are silver and black panels. On the inside of the door are many vertical tubes. The tubes are filled with neon green algae. Underneath the tubes is a clear box that is neon green inside. Next to the door, is a control panel, shaped like a tablet computer. On the outside is the “Hyper Giant” logo which consists of multiple neon green rectangles with a diagonal on the top edge. Above it is a neon green rocket ship symbol.
