With Industrial Hemp Toward Innovation & Climate Protection – Support Us Now!

Why Your Donation Matters

Hemp is more than a plant — it is a key to a sustainable future.
The Linnaeus Competence Center for Hemp gGmbH is a non-profit research institute dedicated to developing innovative and climate-relevant applications of industrial hemp.

Our research focuses on three pioneering fields:

Lightweight Materials for Aerospace
We develop hemp-based composite materials that serve as sustainable alternatives to conventional materials in aerospace engineering. These materials are lightweight, strong, and environmentally friendly — demonstrating how biological resources can drive technological innovation.

Decontamination of Heavy Metal–Contaminated Soils
Using industrial hemp, we explore phytoremediation methods to clean polluted soils and restore healthy ecosystems, contributing to soil regeneration and environmental balance.

Greening and Climate Action Against Desertification
Through the international Code HEMP project, we collaborate with partners in Africa and Southern Europe to use hemp as a climate-resilient crop for land restoration and the prevention of desertification. The project promotes carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and local value creation, offering sustainable responses to the global climate crisis.

Your donation supports cutting-edge research and development projects that turn scientific knowledge into tangible solutions for climate protection, resource efficiency, and sustainable industry.

Your Support Makes the Difference

With your contribution, you enable:

  • Research and development of hemp-based materials for high-tech and industrial applications.
  • Educational programs that promote awareness and knowledge of sustainable technologies.
  • International cooperation which advances innovation transfer and large-scale implementation.

Every donation — large or small — helps us position Cannabis sativa L. as a raw material for a sustainable, circular, and innovation-driven future.

Thank you for your support!
