I recently found a LinkedIn post with numbers for the embodied carbon of various insulation materials. Strawbales come out close to the top with 78 kg CO2e sequestered for a 4'x8' wall at R-28! Of course, this was researched by the materials expert Chris Magwood. I actually met him at the Getting to Zero conference was in Minneapolis 2023. I may have fangirled him a bit and then invited him for a tour of the Strawhouse. He at least had no obvious critiques when he toured the place!
