Cannabis of course has the name 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 would not do drugs or smoke pot so this article is without consideration of the stoners in the world or their potential support of this plant for ethanol. If cannabis grows so well all around the globe it does make sense to look into its use for the making of ethanol.
If cannabis can be manufactured into Ethanol then our nation modify it to succeed better and use those genetic differences which grant low water in production to insure that and we don’t get price spikes when in drought in the ethanol we use for oil. Additionally if the plant can be used to “get high” then we have to modify it so it doesn’t occur or that the leaching into the soil or waterways does not contain high levels of THC as it would be problematic.
If we further modify this cannabis weed then we will have to make it with terminating seeds until we know the things we have done, other wise it turn into a “super weed” and take over natural cannabis along with close genetic types of weeds. In an online think tank recently a gentleman mentioned that;
“Ethanol/bio diesel are the fuel supply of the future for that rotary, eccentric crank, 4 and 2 cycle engines running our cars boats trains and generator sets etc. I am aware it burns far cleaner than the crude oil based hydrocarbon heavy fuels we use at present, and will minimize the pollution.”
