Sherbrooke-based Enerkem is gradually commissioning its Edmonton facility.

Resulting from a partnership with the City of Edmonton and Alberta Innovates — Energy and Environment Solutions, Enerkem Alberta Biofuels is one of the first commercial plants to convert waste into biofuel and chemicals.

Plant construction will be completed in the coming months. When operating at full capacity, it will be able to produce 38 million litres of biomethanol a year, thus allowing the City of Edmonton to recover about 90% of its waste.
