Welsh Anglers Find Greenhouse Solution

Three fishing buddies in North Wales might have cracked the problem of carbon emissions. They have developed a box that replaces a vehicle’s exhaust system, to trap the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming - including carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide - and emit mostly water vapour. The gases can be processed to create a biofuel, using genetically modified algae. Organic chemist Derek Palmer and engineers Ian Houston and John Jones have dubbed their invention ``Greenbox’’.
