A pioneering Omani startup has introduced a sustainable air purification device powered by locally cultivated algae, designed to enhance air quality and reduce carbon emissions inside vehicles, according to the Times of Oman newspaper.
Developed by a team of students and researchers, the algae-based purifier offers a smart, eco-friendly solution to combat air pollution and heat-related challenges in enclosed spaces.
The device leverages the natural properties of algae to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, improving air freshness without the need for frequent filter replacements.
The purifier features a temperature sensor that activates the system when a vehicle’s interior exceeds a set temperature, initiating simultaneous air cooling and purification.
It also includes fragrance diffusion and operates without industrial filters, significantly reducing waste and long-term maintenance costs.
Designed for broader use, the device is being tested for integration into classrooms, offices, factories, and potentially residential and public infrastructure.
By combining local materials with green technology, this innovation positions Oman as a rising player in sustainable environmental solutions.
