Forest Carbon Offsets
Conversion Factors for Carbon Dioxide Emission Offsets
 
2,000 pounds carbon stored = 1 short ton of carbon stored

1 short ton of carbon stored = 0.9072 metric tons of carbon stored

1,000 pounds carbon stored = 0.454 metric tons of carbon stored

1 metric ton of carbon stored = 3.67 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission equivalent

1 metric ton of carbon stored = 1.102 short tons of carbon stored

1 metric ton of carbon stored = (3.67)*(1.102) = 4.044 short tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission equivalent

1 hectare = 2.4711 acres
 
tonne = 1 metric ton
 
1 cubic foot = 0.028316 cubic meters
