How much CO2 does a tree take up? The issue of sequestration is very complicated. Sequestration rates vary greatly according to the age, composition, and location of the forests and the type of soil. The information TCI used for its computer brochure was taken from: Forests and Global Change, Vol. 2, Forest Management Opportunities for Mitigation of Carbon Emissions. Neil Sampson and Dwight Hair, Washington, 1996. Northeast, maple-beech-birch forests 25 year old forest: 12,000 lbs of carbon / 25 = 480 lbs of C per acre per year x 44/12 =1,760 lbs of CO2 per acre per year 120 year old forest: 128,000 lbs of carbon / 120 = 1,066 lbs of C per year per acre x 44/12 =3,909 lbs of CO2 per acre per year Tree density varies, and we used an average of 700 trees per acre (this number was taken from DOE's "Sector-Specific Issues and Reporting Methodologies Supporting the General Guidelines for the Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases under Sections 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992") 25 year old forest: 1,760 lbs of CO2 per acre per year / 700 trees = average of 2.52 lbs of CO2 per tree per year (rounded to 3 lbs) 120 year old forest: 3,909 lbs of CO2 per year per acre = average of 5.58 lbs of CO2 per tree per year Northeast, white and red pine forests 25 year old forest: 67,000 lbs of carbon / 25 = 2,680 lbs of C per acre per year x 44/12 = 9,826 lbs of CO2 per acre per year / 700 = average of 14 lbs of CO2 per year per tree (rounded to 15 lbs) 120 year old forest: 246,000 lbs of carbon / 120 = 2,050 lbs of C per acre per year x 44/12 = 7,516 lbs of CO2 per acre per year / 700 = average of 11.7 lbs of CO2 per year per tree .

How do trees produce sugar and what happens to the co2?
Trees produce sugar through photosynthesis, which involves capturing sunlight and converting carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into glucose. During this process, the CO2 is absorbed from the atmosphere and incorporated into the tree's structure.

How does carbon dioxide leAVE a leaf?
Carbon dioxide leaves a leaf through small openings called stomata on the surface of the leaf. The concentration of carbon dioxide inside the leaf is higher than in the atmosphere, causing it to diffuse out of the leaf through the stomata.

Is there a process that removes CO2 through acid rain?
There is no process of removing CO2 through acid rain. The two issues though are related in that coal burning plants generate the items needed to increase CO2 in our atmosphere and the gases that create acid rain.

How to calculate CO2 emissions from fuel consumption?
To calculate CO2 emissions from fuel consumption, you can use the following formula: CO2 emissions (in metric tons) fuel consumption (in liters) x emission factor (in kg CO2 per liter). The emission factor varies depending on the type of fuel being used. You can find specific emission factors for different fuels from sources like the Environmental Protection Agency or the International Energy Agency.
Which plant consumes the most CO2?
The plant that consumes the most CO2 is the giant sequoia tree.
