ProJects

OCI has ambitions beyond projects currently underway and is constantly exploring new opportunities as they arise.

Oil Refineries: Our primary focus has been on the development and operation of industrial scale cannabis refineries which utilize the whole plant.  We are committed to sustainable, environmentally-sensitive cultivation techniques.  This is not just hippy idealism, we work to improve the productivity of the land over time, rather than depleting it.  We prefer to look for equatorial regions with favourable climates for year round cultivation.  We implement the design and protocols across the spectrum, including all facets of the business, from commercial strategy to growing, processing, and marketing.  Our designs range from 10 hectare pilot plants, to refineries with the capacity to process 150,000+ hectares into several streams of hemp products, including hemp building materials, de-hulled hempseed, hemp protein powder, seed oil for food, seed oil for biodiesel, cannabinoid oils or crystals for pharmaceutical use, and terpenes and other aromatic compounds.  With the exception of the cannabinoid preparations, all other product streams are unrestricted in global trade.  Cannabinoid preparations are only for use where permitted by law.  For larger scale industrial hemp productions, we are exploring trade in carbon credits for the CO2 sequestered by our hemp building materials.

Genetic Resources:  We are constantly improving a wide range of seed stock for varied use in the various climates in which we operate.  Genetics are the foundation of every operation. Beyond breeding for our in-house seed needs we can also produce all manner of cannabis seed for export to countries where legal, even on a custom basis. If you want anything tightened up and available in bulk for your use or for white labelling, send us a note for a quote. Bulk seed now available to farmers and wholesalers where legal. We also have cultivars available in vitro for export from Canada to anywhere they can be imported legally. We have both registered and unregistered genetics, with and without phytosanitary certification, depending on your requirements.
