CO2 offsetting by trees

Trees are vital to our ecosystem. Often known as the ‘lungs of the Earth’, they play a key role in storing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.

Trees extract CO₂ from the air and convert it into oxygen and plant material through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen using sunlight.

The CO₂ balance of trees heavily depends on the type of tree, the location, the seasons and the periods with the same climate or weather.
