Methodology for Carbon Sequestration Through Cultivating Hemp

The proposed methodology is globally applicable and applies to project activities that sequester carbon through hemp cultivation and biomass storage in long-lived hemp products (hempcrete and batt insulation). Eligible project activities must ensure hemp is cultivated on degraded or marginal agricultural fields.

The concept note was submitted by GreenCollar (opens on external site). EcoProfit (opens on external site) is another interested party and is contributing to the methodology development efforts. The concept note is currently at “Step 2: Methodology Concept Note Development” of the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process, 4.3 (PDF).

Stakeholders interested in collaborating during methodology development or developing projects that this methodology might enable are encouraged to contact methodologies@verra.org. Please include the Methodology Development ID# M0187 in the subject line.
