Another pertinent solution to greenhouse fumes has been discovered, and this time it looks like it's a viable proposition to the greenhouse gas problems that plague and threaten our little green planet.

Three fishing buddies were able to develop the Greenbox. It's a box which can be installed underneath an automobile in lieu of an exhaust pipe to trap the troublesome fumes which are blamed for global warming and then emit water vapor.

The best part about this invention is that the captured fumes can be converted into biofuel by using genetically modified algae. "We've managed to develop a way to successfully capture a majority of the emission from the dirtiest motor we could find," said Derek Palmer, an organic chemist who created the Greenbox along with his fishing buddies Ian Houston and John Jones, both engineers.

Palmer said that they have consulted major organizations about their invention, including World Health Organization (WHO), and GlaxoSmithKline, among others. The three friends have stumbled upon this discovery while they were working on a way to boost algae growth for fish farming.

The box that the men came up with is about the size of a barstool, but they said that the size can actually be modified to fit other vehicles. The most important thing is that the carbon dioxide should be captured securely. Ian Houston explained one of the benefits of their invention:

The carbon dioxide, held in its safe, inert state, can be handled, transported and released into a controlled environment with ease and a minimal amount of energy required
