Yes, you can make biofuels from hemp. Hemp is also a more desirable biofuel compared to other plant-based products because companies do not want to take from a regular food supply. For example, we have corn or corn products in almost everything we eat. We would not want the market to take away from our food corn than to make fule. Hemp can be used as a food product, but the uses are so vast that we would not be depleting one market for the other.

At this moment in time, hemp cannot be used to make gasoline. It can, however, be used to make biodiesel by pressing the hemp seeds. Hemp can also be used to make ethanol or methanol through the gasification process. Ethanol and methanol are used to create fuels and other solvents. Ethanol is additive to gasoline to improve performance.

University of Connecticut researchers use hemp seeds to make biodiesel fuel. They suggest that most hemp farms could produce enough hemp to make enough biofuel to power the farm.

You can use hemp seeds to produce ethanol. While hemp is traditionally used as an additive to gasoline, which gave way to our “flex-fuel” vehicles of today, hemp can be made into ethanol by various forms of fermentation. So it is absolutely an option when we think forward to how cars in the future might run…
