>> Is it possible to make DF-144 from Hemp I think it must be possible considering some of the messages flying around here! The question really is: can you make ethanol from hemp? ... I'm guessing yes ... because ethanol is made as the principal by-product when certain strains of yeast metabolize starches. Based on what I know about yeasts in general, a specific strain with be more efficient at metabolizing specific starch substrate. Their is lots of activity in engineering yeasts and bacteria than feed on specific target materials. One can imagine a bio-lab designing a yeast that fed really well on hemp... or hemp seeds... or the seeds of whatever bio-mass one had in mind! DF-144 is made using ethanol as one of the principal feedstock components ... ethanol + some other "secret" stuff (see patents) are feed through the DF-144 machine (see patents) and out comes a version of ethanol with a higher octane blend value than what went in. I rather suspect than the DF-144 process doesn't give a hoot about where the ethanol came from ... it just wants to see that good ole' C-C-O-H.
