Cannabis of course is termed a marijuana and pot. Appeared associated with drug users and stoners. But if 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 do not do drugs or smoke pot so this article is without consideration of your 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 be generated into Ethanol then we will need to modify it to make it work better and use those genetic differences which permit low water in production to insure that unfortunately we cannot get price spikes in times of drought in the ethanol we use for principal interest. Additionally if the plant can be used to “get high” then we need to modify it so that wont occur or that the leaching into the soil or waterways does not contain high levels of THC as it will be problematic.
If we further modify this cannabis weed then i found make it with terminating seeds until we know cures have done, other wise it grow to be a “super weed” and take over natural cannabis along with close genetic types of weeds. In net think tank recently a gentleman mentioned that;
“Ethanol/bio diesel are the fuel regarding the future for the 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 pollution.”
