THE FUTURE OF HEMP IS ELECTRIC

Biomolecular engineers discovered hemp can be converted into battery materials, specifically carbon nanosheets and supercapacitors, and are being explored as a source of clean, green, renewable energy.   Pioneering groups in this field have received sizeable grants to focus on utilizing hemp for supercapacitors and carbon nanosheets to replace graphene, a material more widely known in supercapacitors, yet more expensive to produce.
