Carbon Sequestration
Carbon sequestration is the capture or storage of carbon in plants, soils, products, or durable materials, often discussed in hemp sustainability claims.
farming / materials / sustainabilityRead definitionCarbonation
Carbonation is the reaction of lime-based binders with carbon dioxide, contributing to curing and carbon storage in hemp-lime materials.
materials / sustainabilityRead definitionCBD
CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in hemp that is widely used in hemp-derived extracts and consumer products.
policy / testingRead definitionCBG
CBG is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid sometimes called a precursor cannabinoid because several other cannabinoids develop from CBGA in the plant.

Cellulose is the primary structural carbohydrate in hemp fiber and an important feedstock for paper, textiles, composites, and advanced biomaterials.
fiber / materialsRead definitionCellulose Nanofiber
Cellulose nanofiber is a nanoscale cellulose material that can be produced from plant fibers for advanced composites, films, coatings, and packaging.
fiber / materialsRead definitionCertificate of Analysis
A certificate of analysis is a laboratory document reporting test results for hemp material or products, commonly including cannabinoids, contaminants, or other specifications.
policy / supply-chain / testingRead definitionCertified Seed
Certified seed is seed produced under a recognized certification program to document varietal identity, quality, and production standards.
farming / supply-chainRead definitionChain of Custody
Chain of custody documents who handled a hemp sample, lot, or product and when, supporting testing integrity and supply-chain confidence.
policy / supply-chain / testingRead definitionChemotype
Chemotype describes a hemp plant's characteristic chemical profile, especially its dominant cannabinoids and related compounds.
genetics / testingRead definitionCold Chain
Cold chain is temperature-controlled storage and transport used when a hemp ingredient, extract, or food product requires thermal protection.
supply-chainRead definitionCold Pressing
Cold pressing is a mechanical oil extraction method that uses pressure with limited heat to produce hemp seed oil.
food / processingRead definitionCombine Harvest
Combine harvest uses grain-harvesting equipment to collect hemp seed, requiring attention to moisture, wrapping, shattering, and machine setup.
farming / foodRead definitionCompaction Ratio
Compaction ratio compares loose and compressed volume or density, important for hemp pellets, bales, hurd, and logistics planning.
