Trees sequester CO₂ through photosynthesis, storing carbon in their woody biomass and roots. Sequestration rates vary by species, age, and climate.

Formule

Carbon sequestration ≈ 20 kg CO₂/tree/year (average, mature) | 100 trees offset ~20,000 kg CO₂ over 40 years

Stapsgewijze handleiding

1Deciduous trees (UK): ~22 kg CO₂/tree/year
2Conifers: ~30 kg CO₂/tree/year
3Tropical trees: ~50+ kg CO₂/tree/year
4Total stored ≈ Annual rate × Years × Number of trees

Uitgewerkte voorbeelden

Invoer

50 oak trees, 15 years after planting

Resultaat

CO₂ stored ≈ 50 × 22 × 15 = 16,500 kg = 16.5 tonnes
