I’ve heard that there is ten times as much energy in an acre of hemp, grown and bred for seed production, than there is in an acre of corn used for ethanol. Is this true? How many BTU’s are in hempseed, and how much would a plant/acre produce? Has anyone ever done a real study of its potential as a biomass fuel?
No one?

Of course, these are both pro-hemp sites, so the figures should be taken with a grain of salt. I’m still looking for more reliable data.
