Enerkem is a Canadian clean technology company that develops and licenses thermochemical processes to convert non-recyclable municipal solid waste and biomass into renewable fuels and circular chemical intermediates. Using proprietary gasification and catalytic synthesis, its technology produces syngas that can be upgraded into methanol, ethanol, and derivatives for downstream chemical manufacturing.
The company designs, builds, and co-develops facilities with municipalities and industrial partners, offering an alternative to landfill and incineration while supplying low‑carbon feedstocks for applications such as maritime and road fuels, sustainable aviation fuel pathways, and plastics and solvents production. Enerkem operates commercial and demonstration assets and supports projects in North America and Europe, focusing on integrating waste valorization into the chemical value chain and reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.
