Modified grass offers possible solution to global CO² problem

Dutch company Carbon-Alert is working in Colombia to solve the world's carbon problem by creating artificial peat. A new plant species is thought to be able to speed up this process to a very high degree, resulting in the storage of millions of tons of CO² underground.

Carbon-Alert plants so-called Juncao grass in Colombia. This plant, also called giant grass, comes from the African tropics and was modified in China.
