Climate Change Silver Bullet from Massively Improved Tree Planting

“The potential of reforestation had an economic estimated limit of 76 billion tons of CO2 but a total potential of 253 billion tons.

However, optimizing the species of trees selected could boost this by 10 to 100 times. Optimizing the planting technique with drones could increase the planting speed by 150 times and cost by 10 times.

Fast growth trees would allow for lumber harvesting to repeat the sequestration every 10-30 years.”
