CARBON NEUTRAL
CHENNAI
 Calculation to find out the number of bamboo
plants to be planted to make Chennai Carbon
Neutral
 Area of Chennai 174 km²
 The Chennai metropolitan area is 1,189 km.
 The population is over 1.2 crores.
 Area of Chennai 1189 sq Km = 1189 million
sq meter.
 Population of Chennai = 12 millions
BAMBOO
 Co2 emission 12 X 1.33 ton = 16 million
tons of Co2
 Assuming that 50% of the present
emission is absorbed by the existing
green canopy, the balance 8 million tons
of Co2 needs to be neutralized for
Chennai to become Carbon Neutral.
Number of plants required to neutralize
would be 8 / 0.5 = 16 million plants
