Product description
Enerkem’s Waste-to-Biofuel Technology at the Edmonton Biofuels Facility is a groundbreaking solution that addresses the pressing need for sustainable energy production by converting unrecyclable municipal solid waste (MSW) into renewable biofuels. Through a proprietary gasification and catalytic synthesis process, carbon-rich waste is transformed into synthetic gas (syngas), which is then refined into methanol and ethanol. This innovative technology not only diverts waste from landfills but also reduces methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. The resulting biofuels serve as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, powering transportation and industrial applications.
The Edmonton facility has a capacity to process up to 100,000 metric tons of waste annually, making a significant impact on waste management and climate challenges in urban centers. The modular and scalable nature of the technology allows for easy deployment and integration into existing waste infrastructures, contributing to circular economy strategies. Enerkem's solution has garnered recognition for its innovation and positive environmental impact, aiding cities in transitioning to greener energy systems and promoting resource efficiency.
