Acacia was chosen as it has one of the fastest Growth rates

For Algae:
Typical CO2 Fixation by Algae: tCO2/t dry algal biomass 1.8 Algal Growth Rate: 98 g/m2/day Assuming the Algae is Harvested as soon as it achieves maturity: Area Required to sequester all CO2 from this particular Plant: Therefore an area equivallent to 4 IITB's
