Hemp productionThe Conversation

Like timber, hemp is a biogenic material it’s produced by growing plants.
When used to make long-lasting building materials, they provide an effective and low-tech way to reduce carbon emissions.
Hemp grows much faster than trees, growing up to four metres within four months .
Hemp can absorb twice as much CO compared to trees, with approximately one hectare of hemp estimated to sequester between eight to 22 tonnes of CO in a year.
The higher than average cost of hemp-based building products will likely fall as production scales up.
Hemp-based construction technologies are at a very mature stage and perhaps, legislative barriers will be the primary obstacle to a renewed hemp renaissance.
If there is enough available land to meet market demand from competing crops, the higher prices of hemp will fall.
