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.
