Hemp (\kur{Cannabis sativa}) as an energy crop
BOUDOVÁ, Miroslava
One of the main problems of the living environment deterioration is combustion of fossil fuels. It is necessary that people should start using natural renewable resources instead of already abandoned fossil fuels. Energy plants belong those natural renewable resources. One of the energy plants is hemp (Canabis sativa). The advantage of this oil-fibre plant is the possibility of its general usage. The aim of this theses was to sum up the informations about the hemp as an energy plant. In the hemp biomass yield reaches very good results. The hemp is possible to combust as a whole plant or even as hurds or make pellets and briquettes from these materials for the following burning. The heating power of pellets and briquettes compares to the brown coal. The oil extracted from the hemp seeds is possible to use as a fuel in the case of engine conditioning or it can be used as a raw material for the biodiesel production. The other possibility of the hemp energy usage is the production of bioethanol. The appropriate technology for bioethanol production is in progress. According to the forein studies, hemp is suitable due to composition of the biomass for the biogas production. This usage is still in progress. In the Czech Republic there are not so many negligible biogas stations, but these stations use organic animal salvage for the production of the biogas rather than energy plants. In the Czech Republic, hemp is used as the energy plant only for combustionis in the form of pellets or briquettes.
