Cannabis of course has the name marijuana and pot. It is associated with drug users and stoners. But whenever we can put away that stigma, we find that cannabis has four times the cellulose value as corn, making it a potentially good plant for ethanol production.
Now then, personally I would not do drugs or smoke pot so this article is without consideration among the stoners in the world or their potential support of this plant for ethanol. If cannabis grows so well all around the world it does make sense to look into its use for the making of ethanol.
If cannabis can come in into Ethanol then we need to modify it to be successful better and use those genetic differences which permit low water in production to insure that and now we don’t get price spikes during times of drought in the ethanol we use for principal interest. Additionally if the plant can be used to “get high” then we have to modify it so that will not occur or that the leaching into the soil or waterways does not contain high levels of THC as it that i see problematic.
If we further modify this cannabis weed then we should instead make it with terminating seeds until we know anything you have done, other wise it grow to be a “super weed” and take over natural cannabis because close genetic varieties of weeds. In net think tank recently a gentleman mentioned that;
“Ethanol/bio diesel are the fuel involving the future for your rotary, eccentric crank, 4 and 2 cycle engines that run our cars boats trains and generator sets etc. I understand it burns far cleaner than the crude oil based hydrocarbon heavy fuels we use at present, and will minimize the smog.”
