Hello,
Following may be use;
Assumption to make,
Average life span of tree assumed : 40 years
Average carbon absorption by a tree assumed: 20.3 kg/ year
NOw, The total emission of your target area is X, divided X by 20.3 kg of CO2 absorbed per tree = Y No. of Trees, that must plant to offset the carbon produced in your target area
Thanks
