Cannabis DNA Modification for Use to Produce Ethanol
Cannabis of course is known as marijuana and pot. Appeared 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 among the 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 be successful better and use those genetic differences which allow for low water in production to insure that we don’t get price spikes whenever you have drought in the ethanol we use for sustain. Additionally if the plant can be used to “get high” then i found 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 make it with terminating seeds until we know cures have done, other wise it will become a “super weed” and take over natural cannabis along with close genetic species of weeds. In a web think tank recently a gentleman mentioned that;
“Ethanol/bio diesel is going to be the fuel source of the future for your 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 contamination.”
