Every day I am impressed with the $DEBEVIC Community!

Thank you so much, @fisnikee, for being so honest and returning my 89 $DEBEVIC overpayment. We are so lucky to have such great investors and members in our community.

Further, I want to give a warm thank you to @ChadKingSalomon @Draftsman @Gatucu @prerana @Twinstars and @Bhagyasri for locking their Moby Dick winnings. Combine this with @Chadix generosity and all the teamwork that went into the Moby Dick contest, and I know we have something special here.

With a strong community like this, if $FOCUS succeeds, $DEBEVIC will 100% succeed! $DEBEVIC is the People's Coin.

Hemp Batteries
American Chemical Society (ACS) - 2014 Research Paper
Title: "Hemp-Based Carbon Nanosheets for Supercapacitors"

Link: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/nn501081c

Description: This is the original peer-reviewed study by David Mitlin and colleagues, published in ACS Nano, detailing how hemp bast can be converted into carbon nanosheets for supercapacitors. It’s a foundational document for understanding hemp’s potential in energy storage.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) - Biomass Research
Link: nrel.gov/research/re-biomass.html

Description: NREL, a U.S. Department of Energy lab, provides extensive research on biomass, including hemp. While not hemp-battery-specific, their reports on bio-based materials offer context for renewable energy applications. Look for publications under "Biomass Characterization."
ScienceDirect - Review Article on Hemp in Energy Storage
Title: "Hemp-derived carbon nanomaterials for electrochemical energy storage" (example title from similar studies)

Link: sciencedirect.com/search?qs=hemp batteries

Description: ScienceDirect hosts peer-reviewed articles. Search for hemp battery research here—many are behind paywalls, but abstracts are free and reliable. Institutions often provide full access.
Regulatory and Legal Framework for Climate Change/Ecosystem Research
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - Assessment Reports
Link: ipcc.ch/reports

Description: The IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6, completed 2023) is a gold standard for climate science and policy. It includes sections on research frameworks and is freely downloadable. Check "Working Group II" for ecosystem management.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - Research Permits
Link: epa.gov/research-grants

Description: This page outlines how researchers can apply for permits to study environmental samples under U.S. law. It’s a practical guide to regulatory compliance for sample analysis.
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) - Nagoya Protocol
Link: cbd.int/abs/doc/protocol/nagoya-protocol-en.pdf

Description: This PDF is the official text of the Nagoya Protocol, which governs access to genetic resources (e.g., plant samples) for research. It’s critical for international ecosystem studies and legally binding in many countries.
European Union - Habitats Directive
Link: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:31992L0043

Description: This directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC) regulates sample collection in protected areas across the EU. It’s a key legal document for researchers in Europe working on ecosystems.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - Climate Data and Policies
Link: climate.gov

Description: NOAA’s Climate.gov provides data and regulatory insights for U.S.-based climate research. The "About" section (climate.gov/about) cites its legal mandate under the National Climate Program Act.
General Notes
Peer-Reviewed Journals: Sites like PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) or Google Scholar (scholar.google.com) let you search for hemp battery or climate research papers. Filter for "Open Access" to get free full texts.

Government Sources: Look for ".gov" or ".org" domains from agencies like the EPA, NOAA, or UN bodies (e.g., IPCC, CBD) for authoritative documents.

Accessibility: Some links lead to summaries or landing pages; full documents may require institutional access or free registration (e.g., IPCC reports).

And Yes, the regulatory and legal framework can allow researchers or students in climate change and ecosystem management to conduct analyses on samples, but it depends on the specific jurisdiction, the type of samples, and the purpose of the research.
