Stage 3 Imagine

The document outlines a 4-step plan to develop an artificial chloroplast solution to address global warming: 1. The solution involves creating artificial chloroplasts that take in CO2 through photosynthesis to produce oxygen and energy, which could be mass produced and placed in areas that emit greenhouse gases to reduce CO2 levels. 2. A detailed description of the solution involves manufacturing machines that function like chloroplasts, taking in CO2 and H2O to produce O2 and ATP through photosynthesis. 3. The action plan is to design a blueprint, test prototypes, and pitch the idea to companies to fund mass manufacturing. 4. An email is drafted to Benson Hill, a biotech firm that

Stage 3: Imagine

One sheet per group

Due May 22nd

1. Overview of your solution and why it will solve your problem?


We are going to create artificial chloroplasts which will take in CO2 and
use photosynthesis to create oxygen and energy. This will help solve the
problem of global warming because we can mass produce these chloroplasts
and place them in areas which release a lot of greenhouse gases. They will
then uptake the CO2 from the atmosphere, reducing the amount of carbon in
the atmosphere, reducing the greenhouse effect, helping solve global
warming.

2. Detailed description of the solution.


For our solution we are going to need to create an artificial chloroplast. This
means we need to manufacture a machine which acts as a chloroplast,
meaning it can take in CO2 and H2O and use it to create O2 and ATP. We can
then take these machines, and place them in areas which release the majority
of greenhouse gases; cities, factories, pastures.

3. Your action plan: What needs to happen for you to be able to pitch your
product.
Our action plan is to come up with a blueprint for designing an artificial
chloroplast. Then we need to test it to make sure it works and can safely be
implemented into an environment. We then need to pitch our idea to a
company, showing them are prototypes, so they can manufacture it for us.

● Benson Hill
https://bensonhillbio.com/
Benson Hill is a biotechnology firm that specializes in genetically modifying
chloroplasts in plants to take in more CO2. These plants do more
photosynthesis and take in more CO2 releasing more oxygen back into the
atmosphere slowing global warming.
Dear Benson Hill,
We are thinking about creating artificial chloroplasts to reduce carbon
content in the atmosphere. We have been planning this for weeks now and i
believe we are ready to take it to the next step. Do you have any suggestions
or thoughts on the best possible way to take this on? Please let me know! We
appreciate all that you do!!
Thanks,
STEM Class of 20’
