This is the animation from our film - Planting trees for carbon sequestration - do the numbers add up? - • Planting trees for Car...
We had been hearing a lot about carbon sequestration and wanted to see if the UK could plant its way to Net Zero. So we looked at the numbers and did the maths and tried to answer the question - "Can we plant enough trees, in the UK, to get us to Net Zero?
Charly worked with Robin Lane-Roberts' to create some beautiful animations.
We are releasing the animation alone to celebrate our film maker Charly Le Marchant winning Best Female Director at the International Climate Film Festival in Frome for this film.

Great work. We've investigated this topic too, and found on a glabal scale the same issue occurs. You sort of mentioned at the start about forrests being buried. But at the end suggested the absorption is a % per year. It would be an ongoing going amount if the trees were harvested and buried deep. Essentially, reverse mining. Mature forrests, etc, reach an equilibrium of carbon in/out. -Ken

Interesting video and analysis, but you left something out that seems significant. You mentioned that 70% of the land in the UK is in agriculture. Those are plants, too, and absorb C02. It isn’t just trees that do it. Don’t all plants contribute to the sequestration calculation?

Yes, you are right. Though it would depend on how the land is managed. For this film, because we started around the time of the 2019 election where there were many promises of planting trees (for sequestration), we just focused on trees and some quite simple stats for sequestration of trees in the UK. We could definitely have written a dissertation on the subject, but we thought this was about the right amount of detail and depth that could convey this subject without making a film that was too long or unwatchable.
