Cannabis of course is known as marijuana and pot. Always be 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 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 globe 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 make it work better and use those genetic differences which grant low water in production to insure that and we don’t get price spikes during times of drought in the ethanol we use for sustain. Additionally if the plant can be used to “get high” then discovered 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 that i see problematic.
If we further modify this cannabis weed then we should make it with terminating seeds until we know what we have done, other wise it develop into a “super weed” and take over natural cannabis because close genetic types of weeds. In an online think tank recently a gentleman mentioned that;
“Ethanol/bio diesel is to be the fuel involving the future for your rotary, eccentric crank, 4 and 2 cycle engines that run our cars boats trains and generator sets etc. I see it burns far cleaner than the crude oil based hydrocarbon heavy fuels we use at present, and will minimize the polluting of the environment.”
