MOhemp Energy Kyoto Hemp Forum Presentation Notes

MOhemp Energy Seeking Missouri Farmers to grow Hemp
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.

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.

Hemp: A Source Biomass Antibacterial Fibers

Cannabis sativa: The Plant of the Thousand and One Molecules

Plant lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant renewable resource, which can provide biopolymers, fibers, chemicals and energy (Guerriero et al., 201420152016). 


Trees are important for the provision of wood, however, also fast-growing herbaceous species, like textile hemp (which has a THC content <0.3%; Weiblen et al., 2015), can provide high biomass quantities in a short time. The stem of this fiber crop supplies both cellulosic and woody fibers: the core is indeed lignified, while the cortex harbors long cellulose-rich fibers, known as bast fibers (Figure 1) (Guerriero et al., 2013).
FIGURE 1

FIGURE 1. Anatomical details of Cannabis stem. (A) Stem of an adult plant (ca 2 months); (B) The stem can be peeled off and shows a lignified core and a cortex with bast fibers. (C) Longitudinal section of hemp stem stained with toluidine blue 
showing the cortex with a bundle of bast-fibers (white asterisk) and the core with xylem vessels (black asterisk).





This heterogeneous cell wall composition makes hemp stem an interesting model to study secondary cell wall biosynthesis, in particular the molecular events underlying the deposition of cortical gelatinous bast fibers and core woody fibers.
Cannabis woody fibers (a.k.a “hurds” or “shivs”) are used for animal bedding because of their high absorption capacity and for the creation of a concrete-like material.
Hemp bast fibers are used in the biocomposite sector as a substitute of glass fibers. The automotive industry is particularly keen on using hemp bast fibers to produce bioplastics: this material is stronger than polypropylene plastic and lighter in weight (Marsh, 2003).
Beyond the applications in the construction and automotive industries, hemp fibers are attractive also in the light of their natural antibacterial property. Hemp bast fibers have been indeed described as antibacterial (Hao et al., 2014Khan et al., 2015) and their use for the manufacture of an antibacterial finishing agent (Bao et al., 2014), surgical devices (Gu, 2006) or functionalized textiles (Cassano et al., 2013) has been reported. This property is linked to the chemical composition of hemp bast fibers: both free and esterified sterols and triterpenes have been identified, among which β-sitosterol and β-amyrin (Gutiérrez and del Río, 2005). These compounds possess known antibacterial properties (Kiprono et al., 2000Ibrahim, 2012). Hemp bast fibers were also found to contain cannabinoids (2% of the total metabolite extract) (Bouloc et al., 2013 and references therein). More recently hemp hurd powder showed antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli (Khan et al., 2015). Since the hurd has a higher lignin content than the bast fibers, its antibacterial property may be linked to lignin-related compounds such phenolic compounds, as well as alkaloids and cannabinoids (Appendino et al., 2008Khan et al., 2015).

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.  
    MOhemp Energy: Kenaf Lignin Removal Invention Test Plants
  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.

Keep them warm Scotty!
You have a heat pad for seeds? Maybe around 85 degrees. They will grow faster,,,,,

Thanks. I grew mine in summer they sprouted and grew so fast they freaked me out. LOL

 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.

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

Map Bridgeton Landfill Radioactive Soil Manhattan Project EPA neglected location
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

 Epa Study Green Remediation by Phytoextraction affordable proven technology
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!
