SYSTEM FOR CAPTURING AND REDIRECTING CARBON EMISSIONS TO A GREENHOUSE
A system for capturing and redirecting carbon emissions to a greenhouse is a system that reduces the levels of air pollution by capturing CO2 to grow plantation. The system includes a filtering mechanism, a pressure vessel, and a greenhouse. The filtering mechanism captures pollutants from an emissions stream to release clean air. The pressure vessel holds CO2 from the captured pollutants to be released into the greenhouse. The greenhouse enables the CO2 to be absorbed by the housed plantation for photosynthesis. The filtering mechanism includes a polluted stream inlet, a direct air capture (DAC) mechanism, a clean stream outlet, and a carbon dioxide (CO2) outlet. The polluted stream inlet enables the inflow of the emissions stream. The DAC mechanism enables the inflow of surrounding air. The clean stream outlet enables the outflow of clean air. The CO2 outlet enables the outflow of the captured CO2 towards the pressure vessel.
