Throughout its lifespan, each tree actively absorbs carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, storing it within its wooden parts. This crucial process effectively reduces CO₂ levels in the atmosphere, with the magnitude of its impact increasing proportionally to the duration that trees are allowed to grow and thrive.
Our model utilizes diverse data inputs, relying on factors such as tree size, composition, and lifecycle, to generate a robust estimate of the amount of carbon absorbed during the lifetime of a tree. The data used for these calculations is sourced from external consultants and scientific publications and comparable platforms.
Given that it is impractical to measure and weigh each tree annually, and acknowledging natural variations in size, Evertreen incorporates a margin of safety into all our projects. An additional 10-25% more trees are planted beyond the committed quantity to ensure that our calculations lean towards conservatism rather than optimism.
