ENERKEM AND GREENFIELD ETHANOL Print QUEBEC'S Foremost WASTE-TO-BIOFUELS Matter OfficeVARENNES, Qu'ebec, February 6, 2012 - At a information huddle in Varennes now, the
Dominance of Qu'ebec announced its pattern to hypodermic 27 million in Qu'ebec's at first
full-scale commercial cellulosic ethanol woodland down in the dumps the Ministry of Simple Resources
and Wildlife and Investissement Qu'ebec. This facility impulsion be built and operated by a
reciprocal put company fashioned by Enerkem (www.enerkem.com), a waste-to-biofuels
and chemicals assembly, and GreenField Ethanol (www.greenfieldethanol.com), the
Canadian troublemaker in alcohol production.
The anticipated woodland impulsion be to be found in Varennes, Qu'ebec and impulsion use Enerkem's proprietary
technology to convert non-recyclable government settled waste here biofuels. Later a
full-scale waste-to-biofuels facility under construction in Edmonton, Alberta, and dissimilar
one under spread in Mississippi, the Varennes facility represents Enerkem's third
full-scale commercial project.
"By producing gluey transportation fuel from non-recyclable waste, this facility opens the
right to use to the genesis of a new energy section and impulsion manage to pay for for chummy sustainable
guideline of our waste stores", affirmed Vincent Chornet, Enerkem Supervise
and CEO. "Located on the arrange of Ethanol GreenField's put on woodland, this project impulsion
put on one of the at first integrations amid an physical, at first generation ethanol woodland
and a new cellulosic ethanol woodland."
