Delta Management Group and the Clean50 organization announced today Canada’s prestigious Clean50 Awards, which recognize 50 individuals who have done the most to advance the cause of sustainability and clean capitalism in Canada over the past 2 years.

Enerkem is thrilled to share with you that, in addition to being chosen as part of the 2017 Clean50 cohort, our CEO, Vincent Chornet, has been named a 2017 Clean16 Honouree.

“The 2017 Clean16 are truly the leaders of the leaders in sustainability in Canada.

"The competition for the top spot this year in every instance left us with many great choices – and to be selected from amongst such a strong group of peers is truly a testament to the contribution Vincent Chornet has made to helping make Canada more sustainable for all Canadians”, said Gavin Pitchford, CEO of Delta Management Group.

“I am deeply honoured to receive a Clean16 award, and I must share this recognition with the entire Enerkem team whose world-class knowledge and exceptional engagement impress me every day.

"This great combination is what allows Enerkem to make a difference and contribute to solve some of the most urgent environmental challenges our planet is now facing.

"I also wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to our partners and investors who support us as we continue to establish our leadership in sustainability in Canada and abroad”, said Vincent Chornet.

The guiding force behind Enerkem’s development since the company’s inception, Vincent has raised a total of C$435 million in various financings, and led the launch of Enerkem’s – and the world’s – first full-scale facility to turn non-recyclable municipal waste into transportation fuels and chemicals.

This advanced biorefinery, which is in Edmonton, Canada, recently became the very first ISCC-certified* plant in the world to convert municipal solid waste into biomethanol and it will expand its product offering with ethanol next year.

"The Enerkem Alberta Biofuels facility will allow the City of Edmonton to increase its waste diversion from landfill from today’s 50% up to 90%, reducing GHG emissions by 60% every year compared to gasoline, while generating sufficient biofuels to power 400,000 cars annually.

"It is setting a new standard in smart waste management and local production of clean fuels and chemicals for communities around the world.

"The company is now leveraging its substantial intellectual property estate acquired through years of unprecedented high technology development to implement more Enerkem biorefineries around the world.
