A GLOBAL PROJECT FOR ALL HUMANITY
The Solution for Climate Stabilization
= SOLUTION
RADICAL NEW APPROACH
LumoBag is a radical new approach that uses applied science to tackle global warming in a highly efficient way. Aluminium-coated sandbags made from recycled materials reflect more than 90 per cent of the sun’s incoming rays directly into space.
The only way to ensure the Earth’s radiation equilibrium in the face of rising CO2 emissions without a further rise in temperature is to reduce the amount of energy irradiated by the sun. This is precisely where LumoBag comes in. By covering large areas in desert regions with LumoBags, the solar radiation can be reflected more strongly and the amount of energy remaining in the atmosphere can be reduced. LumoBags cool the earth and balance our atmosphere.

More about Radko
As a Physicist and Scientist with a deep understanding of the complex needs of global energy systems, I became frustrated with the pace of change in decarbonisation measures.
Societal trends across the planet are demanding change and change now. Our world needed us to reverse the decision of the past and accelerate to new and cleaner ways of providing and consuming energy on our planet.
We are literally cooking ourselves, our planet, plants, water and animals; something had to change. We must turn back the dial and stop heating the planet.
My knowledge and experience taught me that solving complex problems built up over hundreds of years requires deep consideration and time. You can’t just turn everything off.
We need time! Time, we do not have to allow technology to catch up and provide sustainable long-term solutions to benefit every living thing on this planet.
My brain was telling me there had to be a solution to this problem of time, a bridge. Something that would allow us the opportunity to curb, reverse and stabilise our planet’s temperature.
LumoBag was born. Born out of this desire to help the whole of humanity participate in turning down the temperature.

More about Andrea
I have an affinity with all living things. It’s innate in me. As a child, I always loved being in nature, exploring all the plants, bugs, and animals I could find.
Planet earth is this vast, beautiful ecosystem, an ecosystem that is connected on every level to enable it to not only survive but thrive.
Yet humans as part of this ecosystem have induced climate change, we have done this, and it is our responsibility to the rest of our ecosystem to solve this. But it must be our legacy to future generations to show that we have the capacity to realise the errors of the past, own them and actively pursue solving them.
Receiving the Styrian Environmental Award was an honour. It empowered me to further my passion for the environment and work with the Austrian Naturschutzbund to be a champion of nature conservation.
Our aim with LumoBag is to harness the power of the human spirit and collectively dial back the temperature and restore the balance to our ecosystem.
REFLECT
NO EFFECT OF GREENHOUSE
GASES IN CASE OF REFLECTION
In contrast to the long-wave infrared radiation of the earth’s surface („low temperature heat“), the short-wave radiation of the sun reflected by LumoBags can leave the atmosphere unhindered. The reflection does not change the wavelength. The greenhouse gases have no absorption spectra in these wavelength ranges and therefore cannot hinder the radiation leaving earth’s atmosphere.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
It immediately limits global warming and allows us to meet the 1.5°C target despite rising CO2 emissions. Highly reflective sandbags in areas with the highest solar radiation stabilise the temperature on Earth. As soon as a Lumobag is installed, its effect to compensate the temperature increase starts immediately.
The LumoBag project is not a substitute for reducing greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as possible – this must be the primary goal of governments and business. The more greenhouse gases we continue to emit, the more costly the corrective measures would be, which would soon reach their limits.
The LumoBag project gives us a window of opportunity to decarbonise the global economy in an orderly fashion without moving into a catastrophic and uncontrollable realm.

Help us provide a window for
humanity to decarbonize the globe.
Did you know
An average European causes emissions of around eight tonnes of CO2 per year. To offset the effect of at least one ton of CO2, one square meter of reflective surface is needed.
Come reflect with us
So if you join us to put eight square metres LumoBags in the sand, you can offset your annual CO2 emissions. Immediately. Or even in advance.
How
As soon as possible, we would like to set up a pilot plant in an area with high solar radiation. For this we need the help of as many committed people as possible who do not want to accept the climate catastrophe.
Reserve the first copies of our Limited First Edition now for only 30 euros per square meter LumoBags and set a good example for your community.
