Working with Hemp, a sustainable super-plant
Hemp is a hardy robust plant that doesn’t require pesticides or herbicides and has the ability to capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Good news so far!
Deep Roots: Furthermore, Hemp has a very deep root system. Its roots can grow up to 9 feet deep enabling it to obtain its nutrients and water from below the surface. Therefore, it requires significantly less water compared to other crops. Having deep roots helps to preserve minerals in the soil as well as reducing the risk of soil erosion.
High CO2 absorption rate: As well as its deep roots, it grows upwards rapidly, 4 meters in 100 days, which makes it incredibly efficient at converting CO2 to biomass. Just one hectare of Hemp can absorb up to 22 tonnes of CO2. It is also possible to grow up to two crops per year, this is higher than any other commercial crop.
Versatility: If this wasn’t enough, hemp is an extremely versatile plant to create textiles, construction materials, biofuels and bioplastics.
