Photobioreactor
The "christmas tree" photobioreactor Optimized light penetration into the photobioreactor during the diurnal cycle A photobioreactor (sometimes abbreviated PBR) is a bioreactor that incorporates some type of light source to provide photonic energy input into the reactor. Also, an open pond could be seen as photobioreactor, but mostly the term photobioreactor only refers to closed systems, systems closed to the environment having no direct exchange of gases and contaminants with the environment. [ 1 ] Nowadays, some extremophilic organisms (organisms that can grow under extreme conditions) are grown into open ponds.

Cool roof
The albedo of several types of roofs Reflective surfaces are artificially-altered surfaces that can deliver high solar reflectance (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface) and high thermal emittance (the ability to radiate absorbed, or non-reflected solar energy). [ 1 ] Reflective surfaces are a form of geoengineering . The most well-known type of reflective surface is the cool roof .
