Portland cement is a widely used construction material that is responsible for a significant amount of carbon dioxide emissions. between 900 and 1100 kg of CO2 is emitted for every 1000 kg of Portland cement produced
The amount of CO2 emissions depends on the fuel type, raw ingredients used, and the energy efficiency of the cement plant

1 cubic meter is equal to 852.11336848478 kilo gram
x 5.5 cubic meter = 4,686.62352666629
-30% circular material
To find a 30% decrease in quantity of 4,686.62352666629
New Quantity = 4,686.62352666629 * (100% - 30%) / 100%
= 4,686.62352666629 * 70% / 100%
= 3,280.6364686664 kg of CO2
Therefore, a 30% decrease in quantity of 4,686.62352666629 is 3,280.6364686664 kg of CO2
-90% Eco Elite Cement
To find a 90% decrease in quantity of 3,280.6364686664
New Quantity = 3,280.6364686664 * (100% - 90%) / 100%
= 3,280.6364686664 * 10% / 100%
= 328.06364686664 kg of CO2
Therefore, a 90% decrease in quantity of 3,280.6364686664 is 328.06364686664 kg of CO2
Substituting the values, we get percentage reduction of CO2 emissions from 4,686.62352666629 kg to 328.06364686664 kg is approximately 99.99%.

In England, the most common tree species used for carbon offsetting purposes are oak, beech, and silver birch. These species have varying CO2 absorption rates an average absorption rate of 10 kilograms of CO2 per tree per year.
To calculate the number of trees needed to offset a specific amount of CO2 emissions in England, we can use the same formula:
Number of trees = Total CO2 emissions / CO2 absorption per tree per year
Let's offset 4,300 kilograms [5.5m3] of CO2 emissions:
Number of trees = 4,300 kg / 10 kg/tree/year
Number of trees = 430 trees
Therefore, approximately 430 trees would be needed to offset or abate 4,300 kilograms of CO2 emissions in England's climate. It's important to note that this is still an estimate, and factors like tree species, growth rates, and local environmental conditions can influence the precise CO2 absorption capacity of trees.
