Industrial Hemp for Energy - Energy for Life

Hemp is the name of the soft, durable fibre that is cultivated from plants of the Cannabis genus. "Hemp" is also a name for the Cannabis plant. Some use it to mean only the low THC strains of the plan. In modern times, hemp has been used for industrial purposes including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction, health food, fuel, and medical purposes with modest commercial success. Since 2007, commercial success of hemp food products has grown considerably. For a crop, hemp is very environmentally friendly (with the exception of chemical fertilizers used in industrial agriculture) as it requires few pesticides and no herbicides. Modern research data on soil fertility is limited. Currently, results indicate that high yield of hemp may require total nutrient levels (field plus fertilizer nutrients) similar to a high yielding wheat crop.
