If tree planting is used to reach carbon peak, how many trees need to be planted?
If the number of trees were 100 times greater than the population, there would be 140 billion trees. If each tree absorbs an average of 2 kg of carbon per year, that would amount to 280 billion kilograms of carbon, or 280 million tons of carbon. The annual coal extraction volume must be much higher than this amount; therefore, more trees need to be planted
Some people say that at the current rate of consumption, even if the entire Earth were covered with trees. It also cannot achieve carbon neutrality
Develop new technologies to directly absorb carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into carbon powder or starch. Theoretically, as long as energy is unlimited, carbon dioxide can be completely removed.
So the next question is, will this prevent plants from absorbing carbon dioxide? . . . .
