Methodology for the Reduction of GHG Emissions in Building Material Production through the Use of Carbon-Negative Hempcrete as a Replacement for Carbon-Positive Building Materials 

 
The proposed new methodology aims to reduce GHG emissions in the manufacturing industry by substituting the production and use of conventional building materials with hemp-based construction materials. The methodology covers a broad range of applications, such as hempcrete and hemp wool insulation for non-load-bearing infill walls.

The methodology idea note was submitted by Green Carbon Foundation (opens on external site) and is currently at “Step 1: Methodology Idea Note Submission” of the VCS Methodology Development and Review Process, v4.3 (PDF).
