plants to be planted to make Chennai Carbon
Neutral
Area of Chennai 174 km²
The Chennai metropolitan area is 1,189 km.
The population is over 1.2 crores.
Area of Chennai 1189 sq Km = 1189 million sq
meter.
Population of Chennai = 12 millions
BAMBOO
Co2 emission 12 X 1.33 ton = 16 million
tons of Co2
Assuming that 50% of the present
emission is absorbed by the existing
green canopy, the balance 8 million tons
of Co2 needs to be neutralized for
Chennai to become Carbon Neutral.
Number of plants required to neutralize
would be 8 / 0.5 = 16 million plants
