On gallon turns into 172 cubic feet / 4.87 cubic meters of CO2.
1 ton of CO2 takes up 19,000 cubic feet / 556 cubic meters space
Example:
Width = 8.12 mLength = 8.12 mHeight = 8.12 mVolume = 536 m³Temperature = 15º CPressure = 760 torrWeight = 1000 kg CO2

Equilibrium
Latent atmospheric C is about 188 billion ton
Emissions the earth absorbs in billion t/C/yr
To reduce local emissions by 20%, how much is it worth? How much does it cost?
3 MtCO2e x 20% x $15/tCO2e = $9 million for ~ 10 years = $90 million total
3.46¢/l or 16.25¢/gl
3 MMTCO2/yr = 41 km²/yr
Alachua County = 2623 km² or 192,528,200 tCO2 maximum absorption or 63 years
