The average carbon content of gasoline is 2425 grams of


The average carbon content of gasoline is 2,425 grams of carbon per gallon. The carbon fraction oxidized to CO2 is 100%. Assume a test vehicle consumes 1000 gallons. Growing forests store carbon. Through the process of photo synthesis, trees remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it as cellulose, lignin, and other compounds. A certain forest of Douglas fir has a net sequestration of 3.27 metric tons of Carbon/hectares/year. How many acres of forest would need to be planted to offset the use of 3 vehicles?
