Here is our entry for the ‘YouTube Spacelab’ competition. We have grown chlorella algae onto hydroponic beads in an attempt to reduce CO2 levels using the natural process of photosynthesis. We have already achieved great results with our project on earth getting a 16.7% reduction in CO2 levels but would like to see if the [...]

It can be re-purposed, for carbonated drinks, dry ice, even a replacement for gasoline. [...]
