If we estimate that reclaimed forest mine soils in USA (3.2 million hectares) can offset 30 Teragrams (Tg) of CO2 each year (estimated based on the C sequestration rate of 2.56 Mg ha-1 yr-1 for forest ecosystem from Sperow, 2006), RMSs in the United States could offset approximately 1.5 Petagrams (Pg) of CO2 produced by coal combustion over 50 years.

jconacarl commented on the word Tg
"the teragram, an SI unit of mass equal to 1012 grams" - sorry, but there is a slight difference between 1,012 grams and 1,000,000,000,000 grams which is what 10 raised to the 12, as it should have said, works out to.
