How cannabis properties are used to obtain loans in the USA
Industrial
hemp grown “on the ground” is able to absorb more CO2. per hectare than
any other forestry or commercial crop and is therefore an ideal raw
material for today's green economy.
With
a certain frequency, the editors of the specialized electronic edition
of national cannabis growers focus the attention of our dear readers and
listeners on the fact that projects of buildings and structures that
are inherently carbon neutral appear on the construction market on a regular basis.
However, the information
published by our American colleagues about how much industrial crops of
industrial hemp can absorb carbon dioxide during cultivation, as well as
how energy-intensive it is to grow plants indoors, is not only
interesting. In more
detail, these issues will be considered during the specialized round
table "Features of the cultivation of hemp plants" on the ground ",
which will be held as part of the training of the seventh course of
students of the" Hemp University ". The
materials of Colorado State University researchers regarding greenhouse
gas emissions from indoor cannabis cultivation are interesting,
including due to the fact that mechanisms of legal work not only
“outdoors” but also indoors currently exist and are actively used in
including graduates of the "Hemp University" including on the territory
of our country.
Growing a little over 28 grams of a crop is equivalent to burning up to 60 liters of gasoline
Published data from American scientists indicate that "growing one ounce
of a crop is equivalent to burning up to 60 liters of gasoline." This
applies to cultivating plants only indoors and not outdoors (a lot of
lighting, climate control systems, technology for indoor air
circulation, etc.).
Hemp can absorb about 22 tons of CO2
per hectare According to GoodEarth Resources, when growing one hectare
of industrial crops of industrial hemp, plants in the field can absorb
about 22 tons of carbon dioxide. Those. industrial hemp grown “on the ground” is able to absorb more CO2. per hectare than any other forestry or commercial crop and is therefore an ideal raw material for today's green economy.
At the moment, there are already companies on the market that base their
marketing policy on the fact that their products are able to capture
carbon and bind it during operation. For
example, the Dutch “Vepa Drentea” (furniture manufacturer) has released
a line of chairs made from hemp raw materials, which capture more
carbon than the CO2 released into the atmosphere during their
production.
Commentary of the specialists of the Association "Ukrainian technical hemp"
The United States is actively preparing to issue loans on favorable terms in 2022 to those companies that demonstrate a negative carbon footprint during the manufacture of the final product. A significant number of projects developed under the above mentioned projects base their activities on the ability of the hemp plant to absorb carbon. In particular, in this regard, technologies for the processing of hemp raw materials are rapidly developing in the United States, as well as the manufacture of end products with high added value, not only not polluting the environment during the production process, but also absorbing CO2 during the operation of hemp products.
