Really, nothing. It has always been here, in some form or another, on this planet. unless it just fell from the sky from outer space. Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere is where there seems to be a problem. It has always been here too, however. Plants need it in order to grow and then they bind the carbon.
2/3 of dry wood is carbon. The carbon came from carbon dioxide. Trees grow at different rates so you need to find out fast it grows to answer the question. Say the tree adds a ton of dry wood in 1 year (1 Ton Wood/Yr). That locks up 0.667 ton of carbon. The carbon came from CO2 which is 0.375 carbon by weight. Cross-multiply and divide...solve for X: 1 Ton CO2 / 0.375 Ton CO2 = X Ton Wood / 0.667 Ton Wood X = 1.77 Ton Wood Divide by the rate and you get the time: 1.77 Ton Wood / 1 Ton Wood/Yr = 1.77 Yr
On average, 1 ton of bio-char can sequester around 3 tons of carbon dioxide per annum. This sequestration occurs as the bio-char is stable and does not decompose, effectively locking the carbon in the soil for an extended period.
There are 2,000 lbs in 1 ton.
The carbon content of wood is between about 47% and 53%, so lets call it 50%. The carbon, which has an atomic weight of 12 combines with 2 atoms of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide or CO2. The atomic weight of 2 oxygen atoms is 32 so therefore, 1 ton of carbon produces 44/12 = 3.666 tons of carbon dioxide. As wood is only 50% carbon, 1 ton of wood produces 1.833 tons of carbon dioxide when burnt. (Thats about 980 cubic metres of carbon dioxide gas)
1 short ton = 907.18474 kilograms

every 2,062 miles travelled accounts for 1 ton of Carbon Dioxide emissions per person.

1 kw of solar power with a average of 5.5 hours of sunlight per day will produce 1 carbon credit per year. 1 carbon credit is equal to 1 ton of carbon dioxide offset. Gary Waren
As of April 2009 in the US 1 Solar Carbon Credit is equal to $8.00 to $14.00 Gary Waren
1 ton of hemp weighs 1 ton. 1 ton of paper weighs 1 ton.
1 ton is greater.
They both weigh the same! 1 TON and 1 TON!
