Sure but every tree you plant takes up space and there is a limit how much you can do this. Unless you then farm them and store th carbon long term somehow
Australia isn't exactly going to be running out of space for forests any time soon. They are going to run out of forests if they keep it up though, cutting roughly 55 million tonnes of co2 worth of trees annually.
Kinda doubt it makes much sense to be building 22 000 carbon capture plants a year just to break even, instead of replanting the trees.
