The paucity of data on the productivity rates of young tree plantations precluded our complete understanding of their potential roles in mitigating climate change impacts. This study aims to estimate the size of forest plantations of young, fast-growing Falcata (Falcataria falcata L.), Mangium (Acacia mangium Willd. ), and Large-leaf Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) that could be used to offset CO2 emissions of a 1-MW coal-fired power plant. We combined information from our three-year field experiment and published literature on estimating the annual biomass production for the abovementioned species. The total biomass production differed significantly (p <0.01), with 177.5- Mg ha-1 production rates for Falcata, 73.8- Mg ha-1 for Mangium, and 53.5- Mg ha-1 for LL Mahogany. The Falcata demonstrated the highest carbon sequestration rates (97.6-Mg CO2e ha-1yr-1) followed by Mangium (40.5-Mg CO2e ha-1yr-1), and LL Mahogany (29.4-Mg CO2e ha-1yr-1). The estimated average size of fast-growing tree plantations that regulatory agencies could potentially prescribe to offset annual CO2 emissions of a 1-MWh coal-fired power plant, equipped with carbon capture technology and operating at 95% capacity, ranged from 4- to 9-ha for Falcata, 12- to 25-ha for Mangium, and 13- to 28-ha for LL Mahogany, with planting density of 2500 trees per hectare. However, coal-fired power plants without installed carbon capture technology need to establish larger areas of forest plantations ranging from 29- to 62 ha, 82- to 173 ha, and 90- to 190 ha using Falcata, Mangium, and LL Mahogany, respectively. This finding highlights the potential of young, fast-growing Falcata, Mangium, and LL Mahogany in offsetting coal-burning generated CO2 emissions and mitigating climate change impacts.
