Water

Feeding system Alcohols and cellulosic ethanol Water treatment Air/Oxygen

Recovery of inert material as aggregate for construction materials

Enerkem promotes sustainable development:

Enerkem uses an environmentally friendly process:

0 Uses the non-recyclable portion of our waste and forest residuals.

0 Energy self-sufficient.

0 Produces 340-360 litres of cellulosic ethanol from one tonne of waste (dry base).

0 Requires only minimal use of water and allows for its closed-circuit reuse. With certain materials, the process is a net producer of water

0 Reduces greenhouse gases by using raw materials that would produce methane when landfilled and by replacing gasoline produced from petroleum.
