Cannabis of course is regarded as marijuana and pot. Usually associated with drug users and stoners. But if you 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 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 be generated 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 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 need to modify it so which don’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 should instead 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 as well close genetic types of weeds. In a price think tank recently a gentleman mentioned that;
“Ethanol/bio diesel are the fuel source 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 smog.”
