    • Based in Canada, Enerkem is pioneering a new line of chemicals and fuels made from garbage instead of oil or other fossil fuels. Enerkem’s cost-effective conversion technology transforms waste - such as unrecyclable household garbage, demolition debris and used utility poles - into chemical-grade syngas, which is used to create biomethanol, cellulosic ethanol and other intermediate chemicals that form our everyday products. The company currently operates two facilities in Quebec, began construction of a municipal waste-to-biofuels plant in Alberta and is developing other projects in Canada and in the U.S.

Enerkem’s cost-effective conversion technology transforms waste - such as unrecyclable household garbage, demolition debris and used utility poles - into chemical-grade syngas, which is used to create advanced ethanol, bioacetates and other intermediate chemicals that form our everyday products. The company currently operates two facilities in Quebec and in 2010, began construction of a municipal waste-to-biofuels plant in Alberta. In 2011, Enerkem expects to break ground on a similar facility in Mississippi for which it is receiving financial support from the USDA and U.S. DOE.
