Carbon Sequestration Projections: Jurangjero
We’ve finalized the Above Ground (ABG) carbon stock analysis for the KitaHijaukan x Jogja Kelana planting initiative event on 14 Feb 26. Here is the breakdown of our projected impact over the 30-year lifecycle.
Event Documentation
Total Carbon Stock (tC)
The biomass is expected to scale significantly as the project matures:
Total CO2 Sequestration (tCO2e)
Using the standard 44/12 conversion factor, the total atmospheric carbon removed is:
Current
0.001
tCO2e
By Year 10
1.848
tCO2e
By Year 30 (Project Maturity)
7.579
tCO2e
Real-World Equivalents
To put our 7.579 tons of CO2 impact into perspective, this is equivalent to:
Driving
18,947 miles (approx. 30,492 km) in an average gasoline passenger vehicle.
Lighting
Running 155 LED bulbs (10W) continuously for 10 years.
Smartphones
Charging a smartphone 921,823 times from 0% to 100%.
Important Disclaimer
Scenario: These figures represent an Optimistic Scenario, assuming ideal growth conditions, high survival rates, and maximum biomass accumulation.
Data Source: This is a rough estimate based on available secondary data and generalized growth models. Actual sequestration may vary based on site-specific soil conditions, local climate, and maintenance protocols.
