So, if you plant 3 times your current forest sizes into wood harvesting forests, you would capture all of your CO2 emissions into a solid.

That's probably not reasonable (but I'm not sure). Even then, if you double your forest area, and cut the wood from there you'll offset some 20% of your emission already.

It's not a silver bullet, but it is something.



Then add that many trees again each following year.


I assumed the forests were harvested every 4 years. That's average for low quality wood, like what goes into MDF.


But the emission compensated was only for 2014.
