Cannabis of course is termed a marijuana and pot. Can 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 come in into Ethanol then we need to modify it to succeed better and use those genetic differences which allow for low water in production to insure that unfortunately we cannot get price spikes in times of drought in the ethanol we use for if you want. 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 would be problematic.
If we further modify this cannabis weed then we should make it with terminating seeds until we know what you may have done, other wise it develop into a “super weed” and take over natural cannabis any other close genetic varieties of weeds. In a price think tank recently a gentleman mentioned that;
“Ethanol/bio diesel will likely to be the fuel regarding the future for that rotary, eccentric crank, 4 and 2 cycle engines running our cars boats trains and generator sets etc. Yes it burns far cleaner than the crude oil based hydrocarbon heavy fuels we use at present, and will minimize the an additional.”
