Gesco Network to pioneer biomass field trials of hemp

FIELD trials of industrial hemp are taking place in Ireland to see if it is suitable as a biomass crop.

Green Energy Growers Association (GEGA) has secured an exclusive agreement for Ireland from the European Union licensed National Federation of Producers of Hemp in France (FNPC).

The agreement enables GEGA, through its associated Gesco Network, to provide farmers and growers across Ireland access to a range of industrial hemp varieties and technologies.
