MOhemp Energy Kyoto Hemp Forum Presentation Notes

MOhemp Energy Kyoto Presentation Notes

Hats off to the everyone who has been working behind the scenes at the 1st Annual Hemp Environmental Forum as well as the Sponsors and Presenters who have been sharing the groundbreaking discoveries, inventions, news, and advancements that the Hemp Industry is experiencing.

Many thanks Nayer and Takashi and the other great minds of the Kyoto Hemp Forum for welcoming and including the discoveries and inventions the MOhemp Energy Team has made.

• Yes its faster and better than phytoremediation alone 
• While working on a Startup Business http:electrohemp.org that will save lives in the St Louis Region. I approached a Startup Group who works in a well known St Louis College. They are interested in the ‪#‎biotech‬, ‪#‎cleantech‬, and ‪#‎Agriculture‬ inventions the Team has developed and developing.

The "ElectroHemp's" Teams goals: are to save lives and help our immediate community by improving 

the quality of life for those affected by the Nuclear Waste that is illegally buried at ‪#‎WestlakeLandfill‬  

and the ‪#‎ColdwaterCreek‬ areas of the Region.

 The team has figured out how to cycle the toxins from the 
ground faster than has been previously done with a 
Natural System. And then dispose of these toxins which are 
made inert ie: "non hazardous". This process is accomplished 
by using natural and organic resources.

 It’s truly an Honor and personally humbling to be given an opportunity to share and add our teams voice to the 1st Annual International Hemp Forum and how

Hemp is The Lifeline to the Future.

In these troubling times mankind is facing from the effects of Climate Change.  Believe it or not, there are many ways that the cannabis plant will be instrumental in negating the environmental destruction that is wreaking havoc on our Planet.  Hemp is one of the few plants that can be grown all around the world that addresses and nullifies so many problems that threaten mankind's continued existence on this planet.

Because of Hemp’s ability to

• absorb the toxins in the soil and water by phytoremediation or
• Hemp’s ability to cycle the CO2 emissions from the air we breathe or
• all the sustainable products made from Hemp.  

Hemp will be a energy efficient income driver for local communities by

• creating energy efficient building products
• such as Hempcrete and
• Hemp Fiber Insulation as well as a
• sustainable Biomass Energy Provider champion.  

There is no better time than the present for the World to recognize that Hemp is the Lifeline to the Future.

However you are viewing the First Annual Hemp International Forum rest assured that all of the

"Hemp Industry Pros really do have solutions to correct the wrongs that mankind has brought on this world we live in.  

You have been given a front row seat and are witnessing the early stages of reviving an age old industry that will bring many future advancements to our World, I’m sure you too will realize it’s a no brainer that the great Cannabis plant should be grown and utilized everywhere.

Hemp is the Lifeline to the Future.  If you don’t believe me just keep watching and taking notes and you too will have the ah-hah moment.

-HEMP Lifeline to the Future-

We are holding a kick-off event known as "International Hemp Environmental Forum 2016" which is being organized to focus and bring to fruition a solution to the environmental issues facing our beautiful planet, Japan as the starting point.

This upcoming event will be held in the city of Kyoto, Japan, which is globally known as an international environmental city, together with global hemp farmers, hemp industrial companies, enthusiastic hemp evangelists as well as environmental specialists will be assembling to network and bring about a global hemp revolution, starting in Nihon and spreading world wide.

Hemp, the plant bearing the scientific designation Cannabis Sativa, L. is an annual plant that is known as sustainable plant resource, and it's not only utilized as food, clothes, and housing material, but also in various fields like energy production, medicinal purposes and industrial material. More importantly, it is a huge asset as an alternative resource for underground resources like fossil fuel and for forest resources. It is said that amount of carbon dioxide the hemp absorbs during its vegetative stage is 3 to 7 times as deciduous tree. The hemp plant should be a symbol of biomass resources because of its characteristics and possibility of contribution for low carbon society. It is without a doubt that hemp is an ideal plant to make our earth into perpetually circulating society, which is exactly what humans need for the future.

We are here to announce to the world that we are taking a big step towards building our sustainable future and recycling-oriented society by implementing the most of hemp’s value.

Little Green Thumbs Helping with Kenaf Plants

The whole family is in awe and pleasantly surprised to see how fast the Kenaf plants have grown.  The Kids and I have been watching and monitoring the Kenaf Test Plants since they sprouted in January. The Kids grow almost as fast as the Kenaf 8234 plants.

Great Help with the Kenaf Plants from the Little Green Thumbs!

It is a no-brainer to see why Kenaf is a sustainable Biomass Energy Champion.  

Kenaf 8234 Sprouts- Jan 2016

In the 5 months we have been tending the Plants.  We have watched the Kenaf Plants grow from little sprouts to 6 feet tall plants with a stalk diameter of 1 inch!

Kenaf Test Plants 6 ft Tall June 2016

Invention UPdate Lignin Test Plants and Robot Farming

Today was a pretty important date times 2, if you are following Scotts Contracting Lignin Removal Test Plants that will be used to test the Lignin Removal Invention.

Scotty has been leaving a breadcrumb trail on this blog and its sister blog on the future aspects that will become an important aspect on not only the Inventions: BioRad Hazardous Waste Removal and Hemp Farming Machinery;  but also future business avenues that will be capitalized and turned into income producing avenues for the company and its shareholders.

Here is why today was a big deal as it relates to Missouri Agribusiness and Robotics (Breadcrumb 1, Breadcrumb 2)  In a prior social media post I highlighted how Tree Planting robots are being used to plant trees.  It is not too much of a stretch of imagination, to see how similar Kenaf Seedlings are very similar to actual Trees check out today's Kenaf Test Plant Animated Images and see how fast these Kenaf Test Plants have come from the early days.

In a few days the transplant experiment will prove how hardy the Kenaf Plants are.  I'll be honest they have not had a luxurious life since they first sprouted in January 2016.  I have purposely let them grow in the little plant trays to demonstrate not only the hardiness of the Kenaf plant; but, also the how easily and carefree they grow.  This semi mimics how adaptable they will be to actual field growing conditions relative to Missouri's Climate.   

I previously stated: 

USE ROBOTS TO PLANT SEEDS FOR PHYTOREMEDIATION ON HAZMAT SOIL AND LAND.  

This eliminates humans coming in contact with Nuclear Rads.  I really like this idea, as a business owner who will have to cover the health hazards of the crew while working on hazmat soils. 

Feel free to contact Scotty by email or contact form about any information related to Investment opportunities for the Hemp and Kenaf Farm Machinery

MOhemp Energy: Kenaf Lignin Removal Invention Test Plants

MOhemp Energy: Kenaf Lignin Removal Invention Test Plants

Mar 2, 2016  Kenaf Plants growth progress gif image created with Google Picasa.   

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.

• Heavy Metal Soil and Material Testing Lab and Personnel will perform on-site testing.

MOhemp Energy update:

• With little to no advertising outside my connections and this Hemp Energy Blog. I have been fielding at least one inquiry per week (from locations all over the World- mainly USA)  who are interested in the one pass hemp harvesting machine.  As well as my continued exploration into the end uses of Lignin.  I happily report that one part of the inventions has been suggested by a recent company as it relates to end fiber "softness" being a major factor!   Part of this process involves having test plants.  4 of the 6 are going strong (I killed 1 and 1 didn't sprout) (Kenaf plants are now 8in tall, developed the 2nd set of leaves).

• A local Tool and Die company has contacted me about building prototypes and has mentioned they have performed and do similar business activities.  So I'm excited on this front of having professional equipment builders and putting more St Louis people to work while we build the inventions! 
• Employing Military Veterans. 
• Three inquires into Hemp Home Building Projects 2016. 

  I am extremely happy with the direction that MOhemp Energy and MOhemp Hazmat company endeavors are leading.

  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 MOhemp Energy startup is looking all that more appealing when the current Federal and State of Missouri  Legislation and active bills that relate to Medical Cannabis, Industrial Hemp, Cannabis cures Cancer, PTSD treatment with Cannabis (Facebook http://buff.ly/1oHFsNk  hear a Missouri USA Veteran tell how Cannabis helped his PTSD).

In closing I believe MOhemp has a very bright future. 

 If you would like to join in this endeavor send email, call, or use the contact form and I will be in touch!  Scotty

  

You Do Not Need to be an Expert to Innovate

I just shared this LinkedIn post by D.Jacobs with a leader in the American and Colorado Hemp Industry who seemed reluctant to believe that my invention is the Holy Grail that my EU Hemp Adviser claims it to be.

update added: 1/3/16 The next day after sending this in an email he did reply back and I have been referred to 2 additional Midwest Hemp companies.

To All the Inventors out there who are searching for believers and founders of your great products please remember: 

You Don't Need to be an Expert to Innovate in Your Field

In all four of the companies I founded, I was far from being an expert when I began: in fact, I had never spent a formal day in that field before I had the idea for the company. In all cases, it helped me. Here's a step-by-step guide to why:

1. Innovation is About Solving Big Programs. Across the board, great innovations are also solutions to big problems that many people have tried to solve, but that have left those same people scrambling for answers.

2. Big Problems Aren't Often Solved By Existing Experts. Oftentimes, the old guard in an industry has been doing things one way for so long that they've put on blinders that prevent them from seeing new possibilities.

3. Existing Experts Can Be Part of the Problem. Especially in bleeding industries, experts can be more concerned with maintaining the status quo that won them their expert status... rather than innovating.

4. It Takes a New Pair of Eyes to Spot the Pain. My brother finally helped me see that purple parachute pants in the mid-90s weren't a good idea. Similarly, in business it's often the guy on the outside that sees the problem.

5. Experts Won't Risk Their Expert Status to Find a Solution. That job goes to someone whose risk-reward ratio is different; someone who stands to gain more than they might lose by innovating.

That someone is often a newbie - a person looking at the problem with a fresh pair of eyes. That someone... is perhaps you!

Last Thought: The above is more the cycle of innovation than a story of experts having bad intentions (which isn't usually the case). Marching forward and solving big problems always requires new voices in the conversation.

Interconnected Carbon Nanosheets Derived from Hemp for Ultrafast Supercapacitors with High Energy

This is where I'm headed with the MOhemp Energy inventions: Hemp Batteries, Supercapacitors, Hemp Lignin, Energy Storage, etc

Abstract copied from: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/ipdf/10.1021/nn400731g

We created unique interconnected partially graphitic carbon nanosheets (10–30 nm in thickness) with high specific surface area (up to 2287 m2 g–1), significant volume fraction of mesoporosity (up to 58%), and good electrical conductivity (211–226 S m–1) from hemp bast fiber. The nanosheets are ideally suited for low (down to 0 °C) through high (100 °C) temperature ionic-liquid-based supercapacitor applications: At 0 °C and a current density of 10 A g–1, the electrode maintains a remarkable capacitance of 106 F g–1. At 20, 60, and 100 °C and an extreme current density of 100 A g–1, there is excellent capacitance retention (72–92%) with the specific capacitances being 113, 144, and 142 F g–1, respectively. These characteristics favorably place the materials on a Ragone chart providing among the best power–energy characteristics (on an active mass normalized basis) ever reported for an electrochemical capacitor: At a very high power density of 20 kW kg–1 and 20, 60, and 100 °C, the energy densities are 19, 34, and 40 Wh kg–1, respectively. Moreover the assembled supercapacitor device yields a maximum energy density of 12 Wh kg–1, which is higher than that of commercially available supercapacitors. By taking advantage of the complex multilayered structure of a hemp bast fiber precursor, such exquisite carbons were able to be achieved by simple hydrothermal carbonization combined with activation. This novel precursor-synthesis route presents a great potential for facile large-scale production of high-performance carbons for a variety of diverse applications including energy storage.
