For ourselves
Unless we stop global warming, future generations will have to grow in an environment where it will be much more difficult to live.
For the Earth
We are causing changes, the anthropocene, which are modifying very quickly what the evolution has taken millions of years to model.
For the other species
We are not alone, we share Planet with all other species. Our intelligence forces us to respect them.
Greennova Foundation
Nonprofit organization engineering projects to fight against global warming, climate change, pollution and the other harmful effects that our actions cause to the Earth's health and to the species that live on it.
Mission
Development and implementation of tools and solutions to mitigate and revert the negative consecuences that human activity generates to the Earth and its species.
Our Plan
Based on knowledge, transform the current situation into an opportunity to evolve society, creating technical solutions that generate benefits to be reverted back to our society and to the Planet.
Vision and Values
Greennova Foundation acts according to these values: Honesty, Humility, Integrity, Cooperation, Sustainability, Innovation, Responsibility and Coherence, with the will to become a worldwide leading player.

Ongoing Projects
Greennova Foundation collaborates with universities and research centers in the development of its foundational purpose.
CAPTACO2
CAPTACO2 project, in collaboration with Rovira i Virgily University - Eurecat, consists on the design and industrialization of an atmospheric carbon dioxide capturing device in which CO2 gets trapped as a salt after going through a special membrane.
The project is leaded by doctoral candidate Anna Mas, who explains it in this documentary produced by CGTN America:
GRAFECO2
GRAFECO2 project, developed in collaboration with University of Barcelona - Faculty of Chemistry, investigates different ways MOF+graphene structures can be used to capture atmospheric CO2. These structures work as sponges that capture carbon dioxide.
The project is leaded by doctoral candidate Elizabeth Martínez, who explains it in this documentary produced by CGTN America:
POLUSTOP
Pollution creates important health problems, affecting even child cognitive development. POLUSTOP project, in collaboration with Eurecat and with the help of ACCIO, consists on the design and industrialization of a pollution capturing device which can collect harmful particles from the air.
Future Projects
Albedo effect
Glacier melting reduces the albedo effect; the sun's incident rays are less reflected and so heat up more. We have to increase our cities reflectivity.
CO2 Conversion
Capturing CO2 and storing it doesn't seem as good as reusing it transformed into a useful product.
Synthetic palm oil
Synthetic palm oil would save the destruction of the habitat that still remains for orangutans and other species.
Heat reuse
Our activity needs lots of energy, a part of which is lost as heat. What if we could take advantage of it somehow?
Plastic cleaning and reuse
Our environment is full of fragments of different types of plastic, polluting and damaging the rest of the living beings. We have to remove them.
HELP US FIGHTING AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
For you. For your loved ones. For us. For the Earth. Will you help us?
DONATEWhy must we do something?
Human activity has caused, in three centuries only, effects comparable to those of other geological periods, which lasted thousands of years. These effects change the environment so quickly that adaptation of life through evolution is very difficult. If we do not remedy it, we will cause a massive extinction that will affect us as human beings.
WE MUST REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE
As the IPCC argues, to reduce Earth's temperature the greenhouse effect must be weakened, thus greenhouse effect gases must be removed.
Video - Why must we remove CO2 from the atmosphere?
We have been burning coal, gas and oil during 150 years, emitting CO2. Apart from reducing we must clean. No time to wait.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) increase
During millions of years, plancton, plants and trees, before becoming oil, gas or coal, have absorbed CO2. Less forests means less CO2 absorption capacity and the combustion of fossil fuels returns to the atmosphere the CO2 that had previously been absorbed.
Last measured value at Maula Loa
Since 650.000 years ago
Never before the CO2 in the atmosphere was so high as nowadays
Last 40 years
The trend is accelerating
Earth's temperature increase
Greenhouse gases (GHG) such as CO2 retain the infrared radiation emitted by our planet. Thus the higher the GHG quantity, the higher the Earth's temperature. This temperature rise is already changing the climate, jeopardizing the conditions in which we have lived during many years.
Each year of the period 1977-2017 was warmer than the 20th century temperature average.
Melting glaciers
Chasing Ice documentary prove the accelerated glacier melting, which will cause a sea water level increase
Migrations
People will move if there's a lack of water, or the area where they live is flooded
Meteorological phenomena
Sea water warming fuels big and harmful storms and hurricanes
