Green Fuel Makers Team Up On Cellulose

Globe and Mail:
Ontario ethanol producer GreenField Ethanol Inc. has teamed up with Quebec biogas company Enerkem Technologies Inc. to generate fuel from municipal and forest waste.

GreenField, which is now one of Canada’s largest producers of ethanol from corn, will work with Enerkem to get that same fuel from cellulose.

Enerkem’s expertise is converting forest byproducts and non-compostable garbage into biochemicals and fuels.
Together, they can become a powerhouse in ethanol technology, said Frank Dottori, who recently joined GreenField as managing director of its cellulosic ethanol division.

Mr. Dottori, the former chief executive officer of forest giant Tembec Inc., said GreenField will continue to do its own research on generating ethanol from the cellulose in plants, but will work with Enerkem to make advances in using municipal waste and wood fibre.

The firms plan to build at least two commercial-scale cellulose ethanol plants, based on Enerkem’s technology.
