Yes! Industrial hemp has been scientifically proven to absorb more carbon dioxide (CO2) per hectare than any forest or commercial crop, making it the ideal carbon sink. Further, the CO2 that is absorbed by the plant is permanently bonded within the fiber that is used for anything from textiles to paper to construction materials. It is currently being used by some of the leading global automakers to replace plastics in car construction and paper manufacturers as an alternative to paper sourced from cutting down forests. Thus, in addition to hemp’s incredible CO2 sequestration properties, it is also an environmentally friendly input product to what would otherwise be sourced from oil or made from clear cutting forests that take decades to regrow. Unlike forests, hemp can also be constantly replanted and as such meets permanence criteria as defined by the Kyoto Protocol.
