Its principles may buy the time needed to transition to a low carbon economy, which is why the Institution of Mechanical Engineers is a staunch promoter of mitigation, adaptation, and geo-engineering in the UK. Key recommendations in a recent report include carbon sequestration by artificial/mechanical trees, building-integrated photobioreactors for biofuel harvesting, and use of reflective building materials to reduce urban heat island effects. Can geo-engineering deliver the envisioned cost-effective energy and environmental benefits?
