Technical hemp has recently become a highly relevant and rapidly renewable raw material source. It’s known that at least a quarter of hurd consists of lignin, which makes it a promising raw material for obtaining carbon materials. Therefore, the aim of our work was to study the possibility of obtaining different carbon materials from hemp hurd. Carbon materials were obtained by the method of activation at 800 °C with water vapour or alkaline. The obtained samples of carbon were studied by various physicochemical methods: low-temperature nitrogen sorption–desorption, SEM, XRD, XRF, FTIR-ATR, TGA and DSC. XRD pattern of the obtained carbons showed that the 2-theta region between 5° and 100° at long collection times indicates no crystalline peaks. Analysis of the FTIR-ATR spectra of the obtained materials show that they have absorption bands characteristic of carbon materials. There are two distinct mass loss steps in termograms (TGA). According to the thermograms, the decomposition of surface functional groups occurs continuously with an exothermic effect in the temperature range of 300–550 °C. At the same time, there is an increase in the specific surface area of the samples with alkaline activation by almost three times.
