Cannabis of course has the name marijuana and pot. Appeared 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 of your stoners in the world or their potential support of this plant for ethanol. If cannabis grows so well all over the world it does make sense to look into its use for the making of ethanol.
If cannabis can be manufactured into Ethanol then we will 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 whenever 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 it doesn’t 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 we will have to make it with terminating seeds until we know the things we have done, other wise it grow to be a “super weed” and take over natural cannabis because close genetic kind of weeds. In a shopping think tank recently a gentleman mentioned that;
“Ethanol/bio diesel is going to be the fuel supply of the future for the rotary, eccentric crank, 4 and 2 cycle engines running 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 contamination.”
