C2project Welcomes You
Global warming is one of the biggest challenges facing mankind today. Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants and greenhouse gases collect in the atmosphere. This has led to multiple problems including rising sea levels, melting glaciers, changing weather patterns and extinction of species. Learn more about the positive impact we have and join us in bringing about positive change.
C2project at a Glance
A Bit of Background
Here at C2project, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the world a better place for all. The biggest source of carbon dioxide is the burning of fossil fuels. Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide into oxygen thereby reducing global warming. Our chlorophyll cell project (C2 project) postulates creation of an artificial chlorophyll cell which can convert carbon dioxide and biofuel which could negate the effects of carbon dioxide.

Breakthroughs
-
Our vision involved developing a genetic engineered version of the chlorophyll pigment into a cell which can be fit onto the exhaust pipes of cars and coal powered plants to convert carbon dioxide into cleaner output.
-
The most difficult part of photosynthesis to mimic is using light to split water into its constituent elements and subsequently making them into gaseous O2 and H2.
-
Our vision was to develop a chlorophyll cell which can mimic photosynthesis without light and then the glucose can be used as a biofuel for energy.
