Notes:

1. Cardboard cylinder is a toilet paper roll center that is used to hold the plants upright.  The plants are not exactly growing in optimum conditions in the widow sill.  The stems of the plants do not get the wind that is needed to strengthen the plant stem and the weight of the leaves bends the stems over.
2. A quarter was used for size reference early in the plants growth.  
   
3. The Red Colored lights are not from a Red Grow Light, this was caused by a camera setting in a few photos.
4. I planted 6 seeds- 5 sprouted.  I killed 1 attempting to help it rid the seed pod.  I ripped the tender leaves and that plant never recovered and died.  (Don't love your plants to death- Paul Allen) 
5. The majority of the photos are taken in the AM when I am getting a cup of coffee to start the day. 
6. This is also when I turn the supplemental lighting on.
7. Supplemental lighting is generally left on a minimum of 12 hours a day, 7 am to 7 pm.
8. The Grand-kids are marveling at how fast the Kenaf Plants grow (and so am I).  I told the middle child that they will eventually grow taller than us.  They could grow up-to 15 feet tall, which is 4 times as tall as you right now. (Note to self: she doesn't know how tall 15 feet is.  I have to do a better job of comparison)
9. She also asked, "if we are going to eat these plants?"  I replied, "I don't know I guess we could, I've heard of other people eating Kenaf plants.  And read that Kenaf Growers feed the plants to their farm animals."
10. Occasionally, as the Temperature warms the plant tray is taken outside and placed on the Patio so the plants get Natural Sunlight.  I hope to also strengthen the stems by doing this with the natural breeze.
11. I am planning on re-potting the plant starts into bigger pots soon.

Thank You for stopping by-Share and Comment below.  If additional information in needed or you have a question let me know.  Together we can make a difference and create a future that will benefit everyone.

Feb 6, 2016 Supplemental Lighting

 Feb 6, 2016 added supplemental Florescent Lighting to Backyard Kenaf Lignin Removal Invention Test Plants.

Even though this is a window located on the South Side of the House and other plants have flourished in this location.  I didn't feel the plants were getting enough lighting and added a Florescent Grow Light to the area for an additional boost.

Hemp Lignin and Future Energy Storage Devices that Self Heal

Abstract: Superior self-healability and stretchability

 are critical elements for the practical wide-scale adoption of personalized electronics such as portable and wearable energy storage devices. However, the low healing efficiency of self-healable supercapacitors and the small strain of stretchable supercapacitors are fundamentally limited by conventional polyvinyl alcohol-based acidic electrolytes, which are intrinsically neither self-healable nor highly stretchable.

Self-healing performance of the supercapacitor comprising the VSNPs-PAA polyelectrolyte.

Here we report

 an electrolyte comprising polyacrylic acid dual crosslinked by hydrogen bonding and vinyl hybrid silica nanoparticles, which displays all superior functions and provides a solution to the intrinsic self-healability and high stretchability problems of a supercapacitor. 

Supercapacitors with this electrolyte are non-autonomic self-healable, retaining the capacitance completely even after 20 cycles of breaking/healing. 

These supercapacitors are stretched up to 600% strain with enhanced performance using a designed facile electrode fabrication procedure.

Schematics of fabrication strategies for specific functional supercapacitors.

Investor Business Partner Adviser Update

Dear Future Investors, Business Partners, and Advisers,

I'm glad you came by the mohempenergyblog.  To be clear the proposed business 

MOhemp Energy has discovered new avenues for generating income that will protect your investment, in the short and long term. 

The new proposed avenues to generate income will come from MOhemp Energy Non Profit Hazmat Division as well as growing Medical Cannabis Division to supply the undeserved markets of the growing Medical Marijuana Industry and their needed to serve patients a healthy and proven alternative to taking a pill. 

Bridgeton Landfill Contaminated Radioactive Soil Map Location

The greatest potential to help people avoid the health hazards caused by nuclear radiation from the Nuclear Waste that were deposited in the Bridgeton Landfill of the St Louis region during the Manhattan Project (as mentioned in the Rolling Stone- St Louis is Burning) will come from the natural and most affordable way of removing soil contaminants using Green Remediation. 

Phytoextraction is the affordable way to remove soil contaminants

Phytoextraction using phytoremediation of contaminated soils. Such as the Bridgeton Landfill and Cold Water Creek areas of the St Louis Region.

This what sustainability is all about.  

Not only are the plants beneficial in removing the heavy metals from the soil.  They can also be a source for sustainable biomass energy.  For me this is the best of both worlds: Healing the Soil and Creating Sustainable Non Polluting Energy.  see Hemp for Income and Soil Remediation of Nuclear Waste in Bridgeton Missouri and the Cold Water Creek area of the St. Louis Region

I will be the first to admit- I do not have all the answers needed.  That is why 

I am requesting Business Partners who are knowledgeable or who have connections in dealing with Nuclear Radiation.

From all the complex scientific studies I've discovered and read.  I do not feel I will have any trouble getting an Industrial Hemp or Kenaf Plant to grow on this radioactive soil.   This process is being used currently in The Chernobyl phytoremediation project of the Soviet Union as well as bordering area in Ukraine who touts its biomass as the preferred remedy, has been studied for a much needed solution at Fukishima, and with some of the latest information coming out of my favorite hemp organizations Hemp Technologies Nuclear Waste and Hemp and the Decontamination of Radioactive Soil-

For over a decade, industrial hemp growing in the environs of the abandoned Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine has been helping to reduce soil toxicity.

All of the above endeavors are awesome but its MOhemp Energys way of removing Lignin from the Hemp plant that is my personal favorite.  In addition to the energy and tree saving ability to utilize Hempcrete in a Post Frame Building Design that not only saves energy but saves the resources mankind needs for the generation of oxygen- TREES.  Because without trees and plants creating oxygen and removing carbon dioxide for and from the air.  Mankind faces a very dim future.

Its for all the aforementioned income producing endeavors of MOhemp Energy sends out this invitation to the World, to join in these much needed endeavors.  We can make some money, help people and the planet at the same time!

The Future Value in the Lignin Market

Lignin Market is Expected to Reach US$ 985.5 Mn in 2023 

Posted On Jun 22, 2015

Transparency Market Research has published a new report titled
 “Lignin Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2015 - 2023.”
According to the report, the global lignin market was valued at US$ 782.3 Mn in 2014 and is anticipated to
reach US$ 985.5 Mn by 2023, expanding at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2015 to 2023. The global lignin
market demand by volume stood at 1115.4 Kilo Tons in 2014.Increase in niche application of lignin
in various fields such as building and construction, agrochemicals, and paints and coatings is contributing
to the growth of the global lignin market. Functional properties offered by lignin is the major factor leading
to high demand for lignin in the market. Usage of lignin as a dispersant, binder, and emulsifying agent
has attracted the attention of major manufacturers in various end-user industries. Additionally, industrial
expansion in developing economies such as Asia Pacific is propelling demand for lignin across the
globe. These factors are likely to drive demand for lignin for applications such as concrete additive,
animal feed, and dye stuff. 

Lignin Removal last step in MOhemp Energy Mobile Processing System

Lignosulfonates account for major share of the global lignin market.
Demand for these sulfur-free lignins is high in the construction industry
due to its high absorbency rate and zeta potential to cement particles.
Lignosulfonates are used on a large scale in the production of cement,
as these reduce the viscosity of slurry by decreasing the amount of water
used in the production of cement. Lignin provides high-performance
concrete strength; thus, it reduces the damage caused by moisture
and acid rain. Hence, high demand for lignin in the building & construction
industry is estimated to boost demand for lignosulfonates globally.
Lignin produced though the kraft pulping process is known as kraft lignin.
This lignin dominates the sulfite pulping process. Kraft lignin
possesses different chemical properties than lignosulfonates. Therefore,
 it is used in the manufacture of dyes and insecticides. Kraft lignin
accounted for more than 5% share of the global lignin market in 2014.
The segment is projected to gain market share during the forecast period.
The others segment (including organosolv) is also likely to drive demand
 for lignin at a steady rate in the near future.

Not Listed on the following chart is how: "Hemp Lignin is being used in Electronics."

Most people don’t understand the truly diverse value of hemp (Cannabis sativa). Cultures have depended on this hardy plant for centuries for clothing, fabric, and paper. Today, it is also used for food, fuel, medicine, building materials, and plastics. Now the energy storage industry is starting to take notice, thanks to new Canadian research that shows supercapacitors with electrodes made from hemp-based carbon nanosheets outperform standard supercapacitors by nearly 200%.

Graphene, a carbon nanomaterial, is considered to be one of the best materials for supercapicitor electrodes. Graphene is, however, expensive to manufacture, costing as much as $2,000 per gram. Looking for a less-costly solution, researchers at the University of Alberta/National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) NRC, and Alberta Innovates-Technology Futures, led by chemical and materials engineering Professor David Mitlin, developed a process for converting fibrous hemp waste into a unique graphene-like nanomaterial that outperforms graphene. What’s more, it can be manufactured for less than $500 per ton... article link
