LETTER SENT TO BFRE MANAGEMENT TODAY
“Hemp is the miracle plant of our time, breathing in 4x the carbon dioxide (CO2) of trees during it's quick 12-14 week growing cycle. Trees take 20 years to mature vs 4 months for Industrial Hemp! Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! (Dewey & Merrill. Bulletin #404. U.S. Dept. of Age. 1916)
With the exponential growth of the medical marijuana (MMJ) industry throughout our country how efficient is it to use the biomass waste from this medicine’s production to produce ethanol using BlueFire’s process compared to the use of corn, wheat, or other biomass? Is there an already existing collaborative effort between ethanol producers and MMJ pharmaceutical companies like Cannabis Science Inc (CBIS), Medical Marijuana Inc (MJNA), and Marijuana Incorporated (HEMP) to use their waste from medicine production to make fuel?
