Enerkem Inc. a world leading biofuels and renewable chemicals producer has started the commercial production of cellulosic ethanol.
Enerkem's game-changing facility in Edmonton, Canada, is the first commercial-scale plant in the world to produce cellulosic ethanol made from non-recyclable, non-compostable mixed municipal solid waste.
The company has been producing and selling biomethanol since 2016, prior to expanding production to include cellulosic ethanol with the installation of its methanol-to-ethanol conversion unit earlier this year.
This growing global market is expected to reach 124 billion litres per year by 2030 according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.
Advanced biofuels play a vital role in the transition towards sustainable mobility by producing transportation fuels that replace a portion of gasoline. Enerkem's technology not only provides a clean transportation fuel, it also disrupts the traditional waste landfilling and incineration models by offering a smart alternative to communities wanting to recover waste while sustainably fuelling vehicles.
