A Study on Carbon Sequestration to Curb Climate Damage: An Impact of Planting Trees along Roadside

SUMMARY

Global Warming is now becoming a challenge for survival of species on Earth and draws attentionof many modern societies, power and energy engineers, academicians, researchers and stakeholders to gofor deeper study. Almost all countries are required to act fast and attend to major problems of depletion offossil fuel resources, poor energy efficiency and environmental pollution and its dire consequences onpriority. During the 21st centuries, the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmosphericcarbon dioxide lead to the considerable impacts upon Earths weather and climate change. It is due tofaster consumption of hydrocarbon fuel in the transport sector which is posing global threat of increase ofgreen house gases through tail pipe emission. It is also a known fact that major greenhouse gas H2Osubstantially warms the Earth, minor greenhouse gases such as CO2 have also considerable effect. Tosequestrate the Carbon Di-oxide and Carbon Mono-oxide many methods were tried to reduce the impactof environmental issues. But it is noticed that plant and trees are the most effective source to absorb thecarbon being released through green house gases.In this paper a study has been carried out to focus on planting trees, that forms a tunnel when matured,along roadside to sequestrate the carbon released from exit gases of transport, as vehicles are increasingevery year in manifold especially in developing country like India. Authors have taken many readings atdifferent places in Lucknow City and concluded that if trees are planted along roadsides, the carbon canbe sequestrated optimally, if green coverage tunneling with sufficient matured trees is present along roadsides. Thus planting trees according to the rate of release of carbon can be the most effective solution forcurbing the impact of climate change. This can make Green and Clean Environment and need maximumcoverage by media too so that people may start planting trees in residential areas also.
