🏗🌿 Concrete vs. Hempcrete: Who Wins the Future of Construction?

On one side, concrete a staple of infrastructure, strong, predictable... but one of the world’s biggest CO₂ emitters. On the other, hempcrete, made from hemp, which absorbs carbon, regulates temperature, and can be 3D-printed.

🔥Negative vs. Positive Carbon → While concrete emits 1 ton of CO₂ per day, hempcrete removes 110kg of carbon per m².

⚡ Construction Speed → Concrete dries fast but cracks. Hempcrete takes longer to cure but stays intact and can be 3D-printed.

🏡 Efficiency & Durability → Concrete relies on steel (which corrodes), while hempcrete is fire-resistant, moisture-resistant, and naturally insulating eliminating the need for air conditioning.

🌱 Raw Material of the Future → Hemp grows 100x faster than trees, capturing 15 tons of CO₂ per hectare.

In the UK, 9-story buildings have already been built with hempcrete, and by 2030, it will be 30% cheaper than concrete. Will the future of construction be sustainable or stuck in the past?
