Calculation of Tree's Carbon Credit
Click on this video of the measurement of the Tree's height.

The tree height 53 inches.
Would you like to view the girth measurement in a new window?
The tree girth is 18 inches.
The tree's average cross-sectional area is 26 square inches.
The tree contains 1,367 cubic inches or 22,401 cm3 of solid wood.
The carbon density of redwood is 0.34 g/cm3.
The resulting estimated carbon content of that tree is approximately 7,616 kg of carbon. One MtCO2e = 1000 kg CO2 emissions = 272.5 kg actual carbon content.
The carbon footprint of the tree, including any fossil fuel or displacement of indigenous peoples caused by moving it from the nursery to the site is 0.
Therefore, the tree contains a carbon credit of 28 MtCO2e.
