angelo renna proposes artificial mountain that absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere
preoccupied with the issue of air pollution, amsterdam-based designer angelo renna proposes to build an artificial mountain to make the environment cleaner. made of soil excavated from the construction site of the railway tunnel connecting turin to lyon, the 90-meters-high ?sponge mountain? will be able to absorb the CO2 from the atmosphere.

renna?s mountain is 90 meters high with a surface of 11 hectares, capturing CO2 from the atmosphere thanks to its engineered soil ? a mixture of sand and concrete. the sponge mountain is not only a green landmark for the city of turin but also a place for leisure where people can go for a walk, run or just play with their dogs.

the multidisciplinary success project and earlier researches showed that most of the calcium carbonate is stored in the top layer (10-15 centimeters), while previously used soil has the capacity to sequester CO2 in an inorganic form at a rate of 85 tons per hectare per year (for a period of 5 years). so, given that one hectare of rainforest is able to absorb 5 tons per hectare per year, it becomes a quite important and achievable technology.

the sponge mountain is able to absorb more than a forest

during the construction of the railway TAV, 6 tons of soil will be excavated
