In the US, government agencies allocate $ 100 thousand to support the manufacturer of hemp bricks

05.04.2021

By September this year, in one of the regions of Western Ukraine, production facilities will be launched that will produce building materials based on hemp raw materials, including hemp blocks and bricks. 

On the pages of the specialized electronic edition of Ukrainian hemp growers, it was demonstrated how “ Old technologies of hemp construction can be used in a modern way ”. The question was raised about the possibilities for government agencies to support various initiatives of cannabis growers in our country. In order to consider the issues of participation in various kinds of hemp projects of public resources, we will take a closer look at how such initiatives are funded in economically developed countries. As an example, it makes sense to carefully consider how and why the US EPA funds a hemp brick manufacturer.

The US federal environmental agency, interested in developing sustainable construction options, provided a grant of nearly $ 100,000 to a company that makes industrial hemp bricks. Earth Merchant of Vancouver, WA received a grant from the US EPA's Small Business Innovation Research Program to develop Ology Bricks, a high thermal performance bonded building brick.

Under the terms of the Agency's grant, Earth Merchant technologists need to create an alternative to conventional building bricks made from hemp raw materials, which need to be not only durable, but also lightweight, but also leave a carbon negative footprint during the production cycle. In addition, hemp bricks "Ology Bricks" need to increase the energy efficiency of buildings and structures built from them, as well as improve the quality of the indoor microclimate, positively affecting the health of the people in it.

Under the terms of the grant, Earth Merchant was provided with financial resources in the amount of about $ 100 thousand for a period of six months in order for the company's employees to prove to the Agency representatives the success of their declared benefits of using hemp raw materials, as well as technologies for the production of "hemp bricks" ... In the event that the employees of Earth Merchant demonstrate the advantages of the technologies they have created, as well as the prospects for the appearance of such products on the market, the Agency can provide up to $ 400 thousand for further development and commercialization of the technology, as well as the introduction of “hemp bricks” to the market.

Commentary of the specialists of the Association "Ukrainian technical hemp"

In the field of hemp construction, the use of hemp bricks as a building material is not know-how. There are several enterprises in the EU at once that specialize in the manufacture of hemp bricks or stone blocks, which are effectively used in hemp construction. In our country, representatives of several production sites at once are working to develop a recipe and patent the optimal forms of both hemp bricks and hemp blocks. Colleagues from the information and analytical platform Hemp Consulting are involved in several projects at once, aimed at ensuring that the country not only has production facilities that produce hemp building materials, but also attract government agencies interested in this to this field of activity. Already now we can say that by September of this year, in one of the regions of Western Ukraine, production facilities will be launched that will produce building materials based on hemp raw materials, including hemp blocks, as well as bricks.
