Hëmp Concrete And Bricks by Cousin9999: 7:07pm On May 03, 2022 |
hëmpcrete is a material mixed with a binder that hardens it into a solid in the form of blocks and panels. Made from the dried woody core of hëmp stalks and a lime-based binder, hëmpcrete can be cast just like concrete. But unlike concrete and its binding cement, which accounts for about 8% of human-generated carbon dioxide emissions annually, hëmpcrete actually sequesters CO2. According to a recent study, hëmpcrete can sequester 307 kilograms of CO2 per cubic meter (19 pounds per cubic foot), roughly the equivalent of the annual carbon emissions of three refrigerators.ensia.com/features/hemp-hempcrete-construction-concrete-crops-co2/ It can weigh about an eighth of regular concrete, but the architects said they chose it for its acoustic and thermal properties as well its resistance to firefastcompany.com/90706461/a-new-building-in-france-makes-the-case-for-hemp-to-replace-concrete https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4kKxY7KNyw |
