Enerkem is a waste-to-biofuels and chemicals company. It uses its proprietary technology to convert non-recyclable municipal solid waste into methanol, ethanol and other widely used chemicals. The company's technology is based on a thermochemical process that breaks down waste materials at high temperatures and then synthesizes the resulting gases into chemicals. Enerkem's technology is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting waste from landfills and by replacing fossil fuels with renewable chemicals and fuels. The company has partnerships with several companies and governments to build waste-to-biofuels facilities around the world.
