Cannabis of course is regarded as marijuana and pot. It is 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 will 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 made into Ethanol then we will need to modify it to have great results better and use those genetic differences which allow for low water in production to insure that and now we don’t get price spikes whenever you have drought in the ethanol we use for fuel. 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 should make it with terminating seeds until we know what we have done, other wise it turn into a “super weed” and take over natural cannabis any other close genetic kind of weeds. In a web 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 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 polluting of the environment.”
