Global Warming and Trees
Petroleum fuels: petrol, diesel, natural gas, etc. are majorly hydrocarbons and they combust to produce CO 2 , H 2 O and energy in engines, furnaces, etc following a general equation bellow. Hydrocarbon + Oxygen → water + carbon dioxide + energy As seen in the reaction, the process reduces atmospheric oxygen while increasing the greenhouse gas CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere. Combustion of petrol and diesel produce 2.31 and 2.68 Kg of CO 2 per liter respectively and o n average, a mature 10 years old tree can absorb 21.77 Kg of CO 2 per year. Then have a look at the following table, above facts tabulated and graphed. find your daily consumption Use the equations in the graph to find the number of trees you need to plant for your car to be carbon neutral.
