Are you sure it is not 20kg of CO2 every year for 40 years?
After all, dry wood is half carbon approximately.
- tinco 7y agoWoops you're totally right, so that's shaves off a lot. I found a resource that says a young tree captures about 5kg per year. The 20kg per year figure is for a 10 year old tree. That brings it down to having to plant about 110 trees every year for 5 years.
