Cork oak (50 kg of CO2 per year)

The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that a tree can absorb in one year varies depending on factors such as the species of tree, its age, size, health, and environmental conditions. On average, a mature tree can absorb anywhere from 48 pounds (22 kilograms) to 110 pounds (50 kilograms) of CO2 per year.

For example, a fully grown oak tree can absorb around 48 pounds (22 kilograms) of CO2 annually, while a mature pine tree can absorb up to 110 pounds (50 kilograms) of CO2 per year. However, these are just averages, and the actual amount of CO2 absorbed by a tree can vary widely.

It’s also important to note that trees not only absorb CO2 but also release oxygen as part of the photosynthesis process, which is essential for sustaining life on Earth. Additionally, the amount of CO2 absorbed by a tree may decrease as it ages or if it faces environmental stresses such as drought or disease.
