Co-You is a green mission driven start up creating technology to capture CO2 and recycle it.
Co-You lab and manufacturing is based in London.
It is a technology process that removes greenhouse gases (CO2) from the environment.
The panels will be installed for a 3 month trial period.
90% of the panels can be recycled to make new CO2 absorbing panels. 10% will be repurposed.
CO2 is not released back into the atmosphere once it is captured in the panels.
Climate Change is increasingly a crucial challenge with CO2 emissions contributing to global warming. Diesel trains emit CO2.
It is a green branding message developed by Co-You to communicate the trial to a wide audience.
Each panel absorbs an equal rate of CO2 to a 20 year old tree.
The panels can be designed to absorb CO2 at different rates. The higher the CO2 concentration in the air the faster it will fill up.
To help visualise the CO2 absorption, the panels changes colour from blue to white, signalling decarbonisation.

The technology is modular and so can be scaled to many sizes, including a full platform or building.
It is low cost compared to other carbon capture technology which have high capital costs. Please contact Co-You at the following email for more details.
Yes the panels will absorb CO2 wherever they are placed. The higher the concentration of CO2 the faster the panels will absorb. Other examples include homes, office buildings, bus stations, petrol stations, congested roads etc.
