Two Nigerians, Yewande and Fela Akinse have developed a groundbreaking technology driven search engine called ‘Pap.earth’ that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment.

The search engine combines the power of artificial intelligence with environmental impact. By using the search engine, users actively contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability. Each search made on the platform helps remove CO2 from the atmosphere through partnerships with climate impact projects.

The innovation is a revolutionary concept that enables users to be part of the solution to climate change with every single search conducted online. It works like Google or any other search engine; however, the key differentiator is that it is an eco- search engine, which removes CO2 by investing its profits into funding unknown and underfunded climate impact projects around the world.

The technology enables users globally to make a tangible impact in the fight against the negative consequences of climate change. When users conduct online searches on the app, they positively participate in the removal of carbon dioxide with a single click and take a step towards a cleaner and healthier planet.

Speaking on the initiative, one of the co-founders, Yewande said: “Each search on Pap. Earth generates a coin. When users accumulate these coins, they can donate it to climate impact projects on the platform for possible funding or such coins can be redeemed at partner stores to earn rewards in form of discounts.

The app tackles the urgent need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and transforms every search query into a potent act of carbon removal.” Also speaking, the Chief Scientist at pap. Earth added: “We have to use our unique ability to bridge the gap between scientific expertise and public understanding, to empower countless individuals to take meaningful actions towards a greener and sustainable environment for humanity. This is exactly what the AI-driven Pap. Earth is all about.”
