HEMP'S IMPACT ON CO2 ABSORPTION
The most impressive benefit of hemp is its
ability to absorb CO2. Annually, hemp absorbs
more CO2 than any other crop or
commercial factory.
Hemp crops have the capability of combating Earth's increase i
n CO2. In the process of photosynthesis, hemp removes CO2
from the atmosphere to form carbohydrates that are used to
build the plant structure. At the end of the process oxygen is
released back into the atmosphere.
Trees also remove CO2 from the atmosphere but they take
longer to grow and require more land. Hemp grows very quickly
and can be planted close together. Hemp crops grow in nearly
any type of soil and in any environment. A hemp crop requires
little water and no herbicides or pesticides to stay healthy and
excel. More hemp growth results in making a bigger impact on
CO2 absorption.
BIOFUEL
Hemp can be used to create a clean burning gasoline that is
energy efficient and cheaper to produce. Continued dominance
in gasoline production causes increases in greenhouse gases
due to fossil fuel combustion.
If hemp could replace fuel and lumber as the dominate source of
fuel, building and paper products, it would make a huge
impact on our global environment.
