Inventor of the Renew Sports Car says he was “about seven years ahead of [his] time."
The cannabis car may never have hit the road officially, but its approach to reducing the carbon footprint still holds promise.
Created in 2015, the Renew Sports Car often referred to as the hemp car, featured “a carbon negative, hemp fiber body which was up to 46 per cent lighter than aluminum.”
Using carbon-negative fibre — of which hemp is the primary ingredient — would prevent two tons of carbon dioxide “from being dumped into our atmosphere,” the company website claimed.
