CO2 neutral cities

We want to use a calculation to evaluate how many trees are necessary to make a city like Zürich CO2 neutral.

  • What kind of trees convert the most CO2 into oxygen?
  • How long does it take a tree to convert the full amount of CO2?
  • Costs of 1 Three?
  • How much space does a tree need?
  • Is the number of the trees possible to compensate the whole CO2 emission?
  • Is the number of trees required realistic in relation to the amount of space in a city?

We will illustrate our results with a benefit analysis and will explain it in a report. à (Costs, amount of space required, Purchase price, service costs needed)

 

We will make a survey with random people, friends, and our classmates. à About the CO2 emission per person.

 

We plan an interview with a person from an organisation, which want to plant trees or to regulate the CO2 in the air over Zürich.

  • How much money it will cost, to make a city climate neutral
  • What are the main goals?
  • When should the target be reached?
  • What are the possibilities?
