Hemp-biorefineries & The Next-Gen Biofuels

Moving Forward with Mandi Kerr

Join Mandi Kerr and Vincent James on this episode of Moving ^HEMP Forward! Vincent James is the Chief Technology Officer for Community BioRefineries LLC and Director its division, Hemp-BioRefineries. Mr. James's background is in Zymology, "the workings of fermentation," an applied science that studies the biochemical process of fermentation. The field of studies includes selecting various yeast strains and bacteria species and their uses in fermentation. Mr. James did his graduate work at San Francisco State University with post-graduate work in Brewing Sciences at the University of California at Berkeley and Davis. A trained brewer, Vincent is adept in research and development, experienced in technical design, brewing production, fermentation, and purchasing management. He designed, commissioned, and developed over 35 microbreweries (his engineering designs are found in microbreweries throughout the US and abroad). His innovations and perspectives have been invaluable to CBR and its HBR extension. With over 30 years of experience in Zymology, Dr. James is now focused on the molecular level of every molecule in the Cannabis/Hemp plant to produce the next generation of plant-based foods, bio-plastics, and green energy.

For this morning, we’ll talk about:

1. Hemp-BioRefinery process

2. Hemp-BioRefinery valuable products

3. next-generation biofuels (bio-butanol)

4. bioplastics (PLA and PHA),

5. nutraceuticals (a true protein isolate from hemp seeds), resistant starch, and the beneficial health properties in extra virgin hemp seed oil

6. green electricity (Hydrogen fuel),

7. aquaculture

8. hydroponics
