It is often said that something has to be changed for a good future of all human beings and our planet Earth!I present you the idea of biooctanic towers on positions of existing petrol stations in cities. The croatian architectural firm UPI-2M have designed ‘biooctanic‘ a series of crop production towers used for the production of bio fuel and city air recuperation.

Their  research led them to the conclusion that algae and bamboo would give best production results; max. amount of bio-fuels per unit of surface (or spatial unit), also considering other factors, like cost of technologies required for cultivation and processing, growth rate, annual input-to-yield ratio, etc.

After all they apply the system in their immediate environment, cities in croatia, however it is applicable to any urban area in the world.  By applying  such bio towers we would reduce the amount of valuable agricultural land used for production of bio-fuel plants, reduce transportation costs and related air pollution. This kind of crop production also has advantages over farming in open spaces, because it’s not weather-dependant, and you can create artificial conditions which enhance the plant growth.
