Cash injection and biofuel jobs boost for Enerkam

Canada-based waste-to-biofuels business Enerkam has received a multi-million finance injection from Waste Management of Canada.

Further to the $37 million (€27.6 million) awarded Enerkam has announced it has recruited the first employees for its new biofuels facility in Alberta.

A 25-year agreement to build and operate a plant that will produce and sell second generation biofuels and renewable chemicals has been signed with the City of Edmonton, which will supply 100,000 dry tonnes of municipal solid waste a year.

'With plant commissioning expected to begin this summer, it's exciting to see the facility's first employees join the Enerkem team and start their technical training,' says Vincent Chornet, president and CEO of Enerkem.
