In Canada, Enerkem said it has signed a memorandum of understanding to enter into a collaboration agreement with Technip Energies to accelerate the deployment of Enerkem’s technology platform for biofuels and circular chemical products from non-recyclable waste materials.
Furthermore, the collaboration will focus on strategic efforts to optimize design elements and industrialize the approach through the replication of Enerkem’s designs for future projects, the firm said.
To expedite the deployment of its technology, Enerkem said it intends to establish a development company (DevCo). The purpose of DevCo is to acquire sites and secure relevant permits for the replicable methanol biorefinery design, supporting the production of bio and low-carbon fuels, as well as circular chemicals.
Dominique Boies, CEO of Enerkem, stated: “We are excited to partner with Technip Energies to accelerate the deployment of Enerkem’s technology in Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Technip Energies’ extensive expertise will enable Enerkem’s clients to benefit from projects speed to market and cost efficiencies, supporting their decarbonization efforts and sustainability goals.”
