1,000-Hectare Hemp Bioeconomy
A proposed integrated biomass system, allocating separate feedstock streams to aviation fuel and biochar.
Public overview. Partner identities, exact locations and supporting records are withheld. Potential figures are projections, not achieved or verified net removal.
From interest to evidence.
Explore this summary, discuss your requirements with Tao, then request access to the detailed project record. Signing up alone does not grant access to partner information.
Funding concepts are proposed programmes. Land, local partners, permits, conversion facilities and offtake must be secured and validated before delivery.
Research scope and evidence
1,000-hectare hemp bioeconomy
From inputs
to evidence.
Inputs
The base scenario assumes 18,000 tonnes of dry whole-crop biomass from 1,000 hectares, with 9,000 tonnes allocated to fuel production and 9,000 tonnes to biochar.
Outputs
The model applies 180 litres of SAF per dry tonne to the fuel stream, and a 30% biochar yield to the pyrolysis stream. These produce the indicative outputs shown above.
YIELDS AND ASSUMPTIONS
All figures are preliminary modelling assumptions requiring field and conversion validation. The paper also applies a 2.8 t CO2-per-tonne-of-biochar factor, giving 7,560 tonnes of indicative gross CO2-equivalent storage potential. This is not a verified net removal estimate; lifecycle emissions, stability, additionality and end use must be assessed.
This whole-crop scenario is distinct from the 500-tonne stalk-residue research project. It cannot inherit that project’s feedstock eligibility or yield assumptions. Fuel benefits and carbon removal must be accounted for separately.
