Hemp Biochar -Black Gold for soil health.

Hemp can absorb more C02 than other plants: the biomass can be used for biochar for permanent carbon storage, green buildings and bioplastics.

Hemp, photosynthesis, carbon storage capacity.

Hemp is considered a hardy species in that it is able to grow under suboptimal conditions in terms of both soil fertility and temperature and water availability. It is a plant that can store carbon dioxide at higher temperatures (up to 30-35 °C) and thus perform photosynthesis and continue the phenological process unhindered even under more extreme conditions.
One hectare of hemp can absorb up to twenty-two tons of CO2 per year, while a hectare of tree plants averages only six tons.

Focusing on the carbon storage capacity of hemp is possible when it comes to green building use. This CO2 is sequestered in the stem, which accounts for 80 percent of crop biomass-so using its products to make durable materials (green building, bioplastics or turned into hemp biochar) allows CO2 absorbed from the atmosphere to be sequestered and locked away.
This explanation – with further considerations – allows us to understand the sentence that claims how one hectare of hemp can absorb far more CO2 than one hectare of forest.

What is Carbon offset?

Carbon offsetting or carbon dioxide removal is defined as any activity aimed at offsetting the emission of carbon dioxide. It may represent in the future an opportunity for a farmer to increase his or her income.
The introduction of a carbon credits market will make it possible to quantify and reward the contribution. One carbon credit is equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide stored.

Carbon Farming

Carbon Farming refers to an agro-ecosystem that can harness the natural ability of soil and plants to store carbon by removing it from the atmosphere.
Contributing to the European Green Deal to mitigate and innovate against climate change is a concept to be encouraged especially in the agriculture and forestry sector. From December 2021, the commission through the “Communication on sustainable carbon cycles” has given the green light for European agriculture to enter the carbon credit market through the practice of carbon farming.
The goal is to save about 42 million tons of CO2 in the EU by 2030. Carbon farming or agro-ecology has great potential to generate positive ecological, economic and social impacts.
As of today, hemp is just a potential asset.

Did you know that one acre of industrial hemp can produce 1135 litres of oil, 3 tonnes of protein and 3 tonnes of fibre.

Industrial Hemp and soil conditioning.

Hemp has emerged as a valuable crop that can play a vital role in revitalising our soil. The plant has a remarkable ability to absorb pollutants from soil including many pesticides, toxins and forever chemicals.

Hemp can be used to clean contaminated soil making it safe for agricultural use. Additionally, hemp has deep roots that can hold soil in place preventing soil erosion.

Hemp is also a fast-growing crop and can be used as a cover crop to add organic matter and nutrients to soil.

Industrial hemp is a phytoremediation crop which means it can absorb heavy metals, pesticides and other pollutants including perfluorooctans through its roots, leaves and stem.
