Carbon removal engineering

We need to remove huge quantities of carbon and nature has given us the perfect solution. Hemp can absorb 15 tonnes of CO2 per hectare - 4 times more than trees.
Plus, hemp takes months, not years, so it is one of the fastest CO2-to-biomass conversion tools available. [1]
