Trees trap carbon and emit clean, pure oxygen. They are the lungs of our earth. And by bringing back (and donating) trees, you directly contribute to growing CO2 uptake. Our partner Justdiggit, in collaboration with a specialized third party, has developed a computational model that can estimate the CO2 absorbed based on a growth model. The model takes into account detailed local conditions and can thus arrive at a verified amount of CO2 absorbed by the trees at the ecosystem level. This can then be calculated back to the CO2 uptake per tree.
The estimated total amount of CO2 absorbed over a 20-year period from an average FMNR tree is 240 kg. The average survival rate of FMNR trees is 80%. It is assumed that CO2 absorption is more or less linear for the 20-year period and that the average FMNR tree - when rehabilitated - is 1 year old.
This allows us to estimate carbon sequestration over the life span and to date of all FMNR trees. This method provides an accurate estimate of carbon sequestration taken over large groups of trees.
