Summary

Cannabis is a plant that has been close to humans since ancient times, known for its many therapeutic and useful properties. After its prohibition for several decades, its industrial form is now legal in many countries, and research into its properties is constantly expanding, opening up new avenues and prospects for its total exploitation and industrial exploitation.Initially, the basic characteristic and advantage of cannabis is that it is an easily cultivable plant, with a short life cycle that, during its growth, helps to clean the environment and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In addition, the various parts of the plant, in their final form, can be used to produce a wide range of high-quality products, replacing conventional materials used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, in textiles, in papermaking, in the manufacture of plastics, and in building and construction materials.Furthermore, the processing of cannabis contributes to Energy Production, providing a strong alternative to dependence on mineral fuels and contributing to a more harmonious coexistence of humans with the environment. This thesis examines the significant properties of the plant, based on literature, and concurrently presents the methods of comprehensive utilization of its raw materials in the industry and energy production, with a focus on producing value-added products and fuels, emphasizing on environmental protection and sustainable development.
