SOIL
We are caring for any soil across our planet. Regardless of the types or locations you present to us, our approach begins with a visit to the area for comprehensive soil testing.
Following this, we determine the most suitable remediation method for the plot, which may be either on-site or off-site. Each option has its own advantages and challenges, and we are committed to guiding you through these to make an informed decision.
Once we ascertain the contamination type and select a remediation method, we commence the planting process. The duration of remediation varies based on the type and severity of contamination, ranging from one to multiple cultivation seasons. Upon completion of the cultivation and the application of additional techniques, we ensure the return of soil that is clean, healthy, and primed for productivity.

WATER
Our commitment extends to every water body on our planet, with a mission focused on decontamination. Hemp plays a crucial role not only in purifying the soil but also in extracting contaminants from the groundwater beneath.
But our efforts don’t stop there. Leveraging hemp, we are developing innovative water filtration systems. These systems will utilise multiple hemp-based solutions, offering an ecological and cost-effective approach to removing PFAs and heavy metals from surface water.

AIR
We view carbon dioxide emissions not just as a global challenge, but also as an opportunity to harness carbon as a valuable resource.
During its growth cycle, a hectare of hemp sequesters 15 tons of CO2. Hemp, like other plants, uses carbon to build its cellulose structure, simultaneously enriching the soil with part of it. Post-harvest, we transform the cellulose from our hemp into biochar through pyrolysis.
This unique material, composed purely of carbon, currently stands as the only proven method for carbon sequestration and storage from the air. This process not only allows us to participate in the carbon credit market but also significantly enhances air, soil, and water quality.
At Hemphuis, our enthusiasm for biochar knows no bounds, feel free to send us a message if you have any questions.
