Under the project partnership, Enerkem will license its exclusive technology to convert a variety of waste feedstocks into biofuels and chemicals.
Enerkem president and CEO Vincent Chornet said: "We are honoured to be working with such a distinguished group. Combining SMDERI’S expertise in equipment manufacturing and fuel ethanol distribution with our own strength in the conversion of waste to ethanol will create powerful synergies.
"The deployment of our disruptive technology in this market to produce clean transportation fuels from a variety of waste feedstocks also demonstrates that Enerkem’s global export capacity can help sustainably address the growing issue of waste disposal in China."
Enerkem also signed an memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a project partnership to jointly build municipal solid waste-to-biofuels and chemicals facilities in China, with Shanghai Environmental Group, a municipal solid waste management company and a subsidiary of Shanghai Chengtou.
Enerkem will license its exclusive technology to convert a variety of waste feedstocks into biofuels and chemicals, as part of the MOU.
