Research and Development  - an Integral Part of GHG’s Overall Strategy

It is commonly accepted that more than 25,000 products can be made of hemp. While that is generally true, few such products have reached beyond niche markets, and this is particularly true of products made of hemp straw (the industrial applications). The 80-year ban on hemp cultivation left an open field to competing products, particularly from fossil fuels, often at an environmental cost that we are now observing.

A revival of the certain industries has been observed in a number of countries where the moratorium was lifted earlier and the crop was allowed to flourish, such as hempcrete construction in Europe, and the hemp textile industry in China. Hempcrete blocks and prefab panels are making timid beginnings in the building industry, but this is held back by costs and regulatory issues. Progress of hemp fibre usage in textiles and in composite materials is hampered by costs and technological issues that limit large scale market development.

To fully exploit the beneficial aspects of hemp production and manufacturing, significant R&D efforts worldwide are required for the development of new processes and new products. GHG is committed to invest in R&D in both Mexico and Colorado to improve its block-making and processes for building materials such as binding materials for hempcrete, or in new products to fully utilize the hurd and fibre that comes out of the decortication process. Intellectual Property created through the R&D Division will not only be utilized at the Company’s projects, but the goal is to create patented technology that Global Hemp is able to widely market.
