Yep!! Just got hold of BP in Gladstone, then the retailer in the Tweed

Approximately 100 gallons per ton of feedstock. That would give between
500-1,000 gallons per acre of hemp depending upon the farming practice,
after any oils were recovered.

You could do a search for pyrolysis or wood gasification conversion.
Calculating feedstock conversion ratios, stoichiometric or real world, is
