acacia plantation that will produce timber for sale (plywood and sawn timber). Timber harvesting won’t begin until 20 years after the first trees are planted, after which they expect the plantation to produce 160,000 cubic meters (5.65 million cubic feet) per year of commercial wood products. Total is planting 40,000 hectares with acacia trees which it says will capture 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in 20 years. This represents around 2 per cent of Total’s annual emissions.
