The hemp-based devices yielded energy densities as high as 12 Watt-hours per kilogram, two to three times higher than commercial counterparts.

Meanwhile, gasoline has an energy density of 12,200 Wh/kg.

I have read of graphene capacitors in the 35 Wh/Kg range. While the hemp based capacitors may be cheaper, are they 3 times cheaper?
