Tree Planting Offset Calculator
Tree Planting Offset
Calculate the number of trees needed to offset your annual carbon dioxide emissions.
$
Formula
Trees Needed = (Annual CO2 in lbs) / (48 lbs absorbed per tree per year); Total Cost = Trees Needed x Cost Per Tree
Frequently Asked Questions
How much CO2 does one tree absorb per year?
A mature tree absorbs approximately 48 pounds (22 kg) of CO2 per year. Younger trees absorb less, while large mature trees in tropical regions can absorb significantly more.
Is tree planting enough to offset carbon emissions?
Tree planting is a valuable part of carbon offset strategies but should be combined with emission reductions. Trees take years to reach full absorption capacity, and planting alone cannot offset all human emissions.
