Carbon sequestration levels in tree plantations and in growing native forests have determined that Uruguay, at the beginning of this century, behaved as a net CO2 sink. Uruguay expects to contribute, from 2010 to 2030, by means of domestic resources, with an additional expansion of the total tree plantation area
Carbon sequestration levels in tree plantations and in growing native forests have determined that Uruguay, at the beginning of this century, behaved as a net CO2 sink. Uruguay expects to contribute, from 2010 to 2030, by means of domestic resources, with an additional expansion of the total tree plantation area of about 300000 hectares, which will account for total annual removals of 11200 Gg of CO2 in 2030.
300000 ha of tree plantation (annual removals of 11.2 Mt CO2)
