The University of Belgrade’s Institute for Multidisciplinary Research invented an urban photo-bioreactor. Liquid 3 cleans the air and serves as a bench in the Belgrade city centre.

It’s a tank filled with microalgae, a solar panel on the top generates electricity for USB charging ports for citizens and a pump that pumps air into the tank where the algae process the CO² and produce Oxygen.

Can’t charge a phone using a tree.

…well, unless we stick a solar panel + charging port on it, like with this thing.

Even as a joke, that seems cheaper and you need far less resources. My question was more about if it’s “clears” air better than just a tree.
