Carbon sequestering hempcrete in architecture – A Pilot house design to Helsinki [PDF]

, 2022
Rakennusteollisuus tuottaa suuren osan maailman hiilidioksidipäästöistä, joita voidaan pienentää ekologisen rakennusmateriaalin valinnalla. Hamppubetoni on potentiaalinen vaihtoehto, minkä vuoksi sen käyttötapoja Suomessa kannattaa tutkia.

Natural Fiber‐Reinforced, Natural Resin‐Based Biocomposites: Fabrication, Properties, and Sustainable Applications

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Natural fiber‐reinforced, natural resin (NFR‐NR)–based biocomposites are a sustainable set of materials developed to offset the ecological and environmental consequences resulting from the use of man‐made composites. The biocomposites are reinforced with the vegetable fibers such as jute, flax, hemp, kenaf, and so on with biodegradable polymeric ...

Antifungal Nanoparticles in Microbial Biotechnology: Multisector Mechanisms, Applications, and Future Frontiers [PDF]

IET Nanobiotechnol
Fungal pathogens threaten global food security, ecosystem stability, and human health, while the overuse of conventional fungicides accelerates resistance and disrupts beneficial microbiota. Nanotechnology offers a powerful new paradigm for fungal control, but its greatest potential lies at the interface with microbial biotechnology.

Sugarcane Bagasse as Aggregate in Composites for Building Blocks

Energies, 2022
Each year, hundreds of millions of tons of processed sugarcane generate, by weight, 25 to 30% of bagasse as waste, whose destination is combustion for energy cogeneration. This research proposes an alternative and more sustainable use for this waste. The

Which design is better? A lifecycle approach to the sustainable management of artificial habitat‐structures

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2025.
This article presents a lifecycle approach to providing artificial tree hollows for sustainable habitat restoration in response to human‐induced disturbances. It integrates biological and technological lifecycles to evaluate the long‐term consequences of material choices, construction methods, and design approaches.

Use of technical hemp for concrete - Hempcrete

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Abstract We live at the time of trying to reduce the carbon footprint, which also involves the production of building insulation. Today’s trend is the construction of passive houses with the best insulation and reduced heating costs. By reducing the incineration of non-renewable sources for heating, we will reduce the carbon footprint ...

Impact of plant density on stem diameter, plant height, and branching in hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a dioecious, diploid (2n = 2x = 20), photoperiod‐sensitive crop cultivated worldwide for a variety of uses, including food, feed, medicine, and fiber. Hemp is parsed into different market types, including fiber, grain, dual purpose, and high cannabinoid production.
