What are possible locations for the CityTree and what might not be? We are often asked „How many CityTrees would it take to clean the air in Berlin or Hamburg?“ This question is a bit absurd because, after all, you don‘t need it that way. There are so many places in the city where the air is fine or whe - re there are not really a lot of people reside. The CityTree is useful in places where particulate pollution is high and where people are present or even have to be present. Think of a bus stop on a busy street, a street café, a train platform, an inner-city schoolyard, even a company campus. In these places, the CityTree can efficiently make the air better with a good use of resources and create a fresh air zone with a high quality for the people that stay there. There they can recharge with fresh air so to speak. What are the plans for the future? Are there already ideas for further products? Green City Solutions‘ vision is to bring fresh and clean air to everyone. After the test phase from 2015–19, it‘s now about rolling out the first production-ready model of the CityTree in cities worldwide—that’s what‘s currently happe - ning. The next phase will be to build up so-called Clean Air Networks, with further moss-based air filters that are also suitable for end consumers, for example, or that function as greenery for vertical facades. In the long term, our moss filters shall be offered almost free of charge and will be financed by the analysis and visu - alization of high-quality data. In this way, we aim to provide clean and fresh air for 500+ million people and bind 56,000 tons of CO2 by 2030.
Who buys or rents the CityTree?
On the one hand, the CityTree is bought or rented by cities and municipalities. However, it is also of interest to larger companies, private schools or universities in order to crea - te targeted fresh air zones to spend time in during breaks. In addition, real estate developers have shown interest in the CityTree because it helps in reaching sustainability stan - dards, such as those of the German Sustainable Building Council. We provide all customers with our great know- how for choosing the right installation site and give detailed advice.
