Technical and Energetic Characterization of the Different Products Obtainable from Industrial Hemp
Short Introductive summary
Hemp represents a very current crop in Italy with very varied valorization paths and which allows the different by-products to be managed in a specific and varied way according to the main supply chain identified and followed in the cultivation cycle. There are currently hemp crops for industrial fibre, for textile fibre, for seed for food, extractive and reproductive use which in different quantities and qualities provide different types of by-products which are however must not considerable as a waste. Only a good knowledge of the technical and energetic characteristics of the different fractions helps in choosing the technology crop cycles that can be adopted in the different areas available.
