Fuel - Effect of harvest date on combustion related fuel properties of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Energy crops can increase biomass availability for large-scale biomass-fired heat, power and CHP plants, which can contribute greatly to mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.
Industrial fibre hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a potential high biomass and energy yielding crop intended for use as solid biofuel, but its fuel properties are insufficiently characterised. Hemp was grown in two independently planned field studies 900 km apart, in southern and northern Sweden. The northern field trials comprised two seasons, two locations and four different cultivars of hemp, while the southern field trial included one hemp variety and one season. Mineral elemental composition (C, H, O, N, S, Cl, Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Se, Si, Sn, Sr and Zn), heating value, moisture content and initial ash deformation temperature were determined on samples taken between autumn and spring.

With fuel costs rising and our job market not looking so hot, we need to do everything we can to move away from petroleum based fuels. We recently reported on The Fairwater Hemp Company making "home grown" electricity by burning the hurds of the hemp plant, back in 1917.
Fairwater, located in Fond du Lac County is home to a rich history of hemp cannabis. Remnants and the smoke stack from the old hemp mill can still be found. On your journey up to these landmarks, notice the feral hemp growing along roadside and ditches. Another news article a little more recent than 1917 caught my attention this morning. Wisconsin is already home to many co-operatives, and adding a traveling biodiesel processor to the mix could enhance our farming communities in many ways.

Unfortunately, our politicians and corporations are colluding to keep hemp illegal. Hemp is industrial cannabis. It has extremely low THC and is used in thousands of things. So what does our braniacs in Washington D.C. do? They outlaw it. Hemp Biofuel Hey, I have an idea: how about we stop using a major food source as fuel and replace it with something that produces clean charcoal, And can be converted to biodeisel and cellulosic ethanol.
The idea of corn biofuel is horribly misguided and should be stopped immediately. You would be amazed at how much corn is used in just about everything we eat. In our desire to show how "socially responsible," we are and hope to atone for our environmental sins, we are starving the poorest, most vulnerable populations in the world. Why not use something that grows fast, enriches soil, creates charcoal, a clean, sulfide-free clean burning fuel? Anyone interested?
