Reforestation for OPEC

• The annual loss from 1990 to 2000 was 25,780
  Km2/year for SE Asia from 3,231,560 Km2 in 1990
  to 2,831,270 Km2 in 2005 That means there is at
  least 400,000 that could be reforested is paid
  for by, say OPEC for carbon Credits.
• From last years Sustainable energy homework we
  calculated that reforesting Brazil could
  sequester 26,000 million metric tonnes (2.6 x
  1013 kg in 15 years) in 600,000 Km2 of
  reforestation.
• Carbon Credits are about 37/ton on the
  international Market. They are worth then about
  962,000,000,000 i.e. 0.962 Trillion
