 Levi-Montalcini Foundation uses Paulownia for an eco-sustainable innovation center.

The project was designed by the famous Italian architect Giancarlo Zema, who is famous for his eco-sustainable projects. However, the most impressive feature of the project is the use of 500 Paulownia trees that surround the center.
At the entrance to the center, an interactive system is installed that will display in real time the electrochemical processes taking place between the plants, as well as the amount of CO2 absorbed and oxygen released.
Paulownia is a tree species known for its ability to absorb large amounts of CO2. These trees are capable of absorbing about ten times more CO2 than normal trees, or about 50 tonnes per year.
