Cannabis of course is regarded as marijuana and pot. Can associated with drug users and stoners. But when 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 for the 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 come in into Ethanol then we need to modify it to succeed better and use those genetic differences which support 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 fuel. Additionally if the plant can be used to “get high” then discovered modify it so that wont occur or that the leaching into the soil or waterways does not contain high levels of THC as it could possibly be problematic.
If we further modify this cannabis weed then we should 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 species of weeds. In an online think tank recently a gentleman mentioned that;
“Ethanol/bio diesel is to be the fuel supply of the future for that rotary, eccentric crank, 4 and 2 cycle engines that run 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 polluting of the environment.”
