A 2020 research by Jay Arehart, a professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder, sheds light on hempcrete’s carbon storage potential in construction. Using a dynamic life cycle assessment (LCA), Arehart’s study reveals that hempcrete, a mix of hemp and lime, can store more carbon than it emits. The study, utilized by Builders for Climate Action’s BEAM Estimator, helps builders choose materials based on their carbon storage versus emissions. Hemp’s fast growth makes it an efficient carbon sequesterer, and when combined with lime binders, hempcrete becomes an attractive, sustainable option for lowering carbon emissions in construction. Arehart’s work contributes to a full-cycle measure of hempcrete’s carbon impact, emphasizing the importance of comparing materials based on their durability, strength, and function over their entire life cycle. The research aids in advancing hemp as a competitive and eco-friendly building material.
