A long-awaited digital carbon footprint calculator for building materials is expected to drop within weeks from a Canadian green builders group with a long history in carbon-sequestering hemp building.

Microsoft just funded a new report from the Carbon Leadership Forum at the University of Washington College of Built Environments on the carbon sequestering abilities of hemp and five other construction methods that have the ability to convert our built environments from a source of carbon emissions to a carbon sink.

Attendees at the U.S. Hemp Building Summit in Austin, Texas, last month got a sneak peek of some of the new products and services in the works in the hemp building and construction world for 2022.
