To make ethanol from hemp, you will need to extract the cellulose from the plant material. Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls, and it is what gives plants their structure. To extract the cellulose, you can use a process called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that breaks down the cellulose into smaller molecules.
Once the cellulose has been extracted, you will need to ferment it. Fermentation is a process that breaks down the cellulose into sugars. These sugars can then be used to make ethanol.
To make ethanol from hemp, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Extract the cellulose from the plant material.
2. Ferment the cellulose.
3. Use the fermented sugar to make ethanol.
