A tree with the most green surface area (since the CO2 is only absorbed thru the leaves. Depends on what country (or what part of a country) you live in as to what trees would grow in your area. Best place to check if you are in the U.S. is the Cooperative Extension Service (a free service by the universities in your area). Hope that helps a little anyway. :-)

Tree that grow the fastest capture the most carbon dioxide. The bulk of the tree is cellulose, made-up from chains of glucose molecules. The more it grow, the more carbon it has to capture. The plants that grow the fastest are grasses, like sugar cane. The trees that grow the fastest are soft-wood trees of the rain forest. In the continental US, the tree would be the southern pine. It produces the most wood in a growing season per acre of growth. Chinese elms, however, are probably the fastest growing. Many large, mature trees, with lots of surface area, and lots of green, are not growing much, and are not capturing much carbon.

i don't know bout trees but most of the worlds oxygen is produced by algae, they take in CO2 and water in order to make Glucose and O2 using sunlight AKA photosynthesis

More green more photosynthesis.
