Slide 1: Fermentation for Sustainability
FERMENTATION FOR SUSTAINABILITY Environmental Impacts of Cannabinoid Extraction vs. Fermentation
Slide 2: 1KG of Lettuce vs 1KG of Cannabis carbon footprint
1KG of Lettuce 1KG of Cannabis 0.34 3,658 kgCO2e kgCO2e The carbon footprint of growing cannabis flower is 100,000x larger than growing lettuce leaves. WHAT IS KgCO2e KgCO2e? ? | This is the unit carbon footprints are often measured in and it translates to kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kgC
Slide 3: A Case for Cannabinoid Fermentation
A CASE FOR CANNABIS CULTIVATION IN THE U.S. CANNABINOID 20% Outdoor FERMENTATION 80% Indoor-grown Growing cannabis plants indoors for cannabinoid extraction can have high environmental impacts.1 50W/m2 2,000W/m2 In the U.S., 80 percent of cannabis is cultivated indoors.2 Indoor-grown cannabis plants
Slide 4: Our Innovation
