Enerkem promotes sustainable development:Uses the non-recyclable portion of our waste and forest residuals.
Produces 340-360 litres of cellulosic ethanol from one tonne of waste (dry base).
Reduces greenhouse gases by using raw materials that would produce methane whenlandfilled and by replacing gasoline produced from petroleum.
Enerkem uses an environmentally friendly process:Energy self-sufficient.
Requires only minimal use of water and allows for its closed-circuit reuse. With certain materials, the process is a net producer of water
