GreenField Ethanol Accepts First Corn Shipment Today
By admin | November 21, 2008
The largest ethanol producer in Canada, GreenField Ethanol is holding a media event today to coincide with the New Johnstown plant in Ontario seeing its first shipments of corn to arrive on site.
Back in June GreenField Ethanol signed a 25-year agreement with the City of Edmonton to create the world’s first purpose built industrial scale facility to produce biofuels from the city’s solid waste. Biofuels technology company Enerkem is also involved. The goal is to produce 36 million litres of biofuels per year while helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the city as a whole.
The New Johnstown plant will be fully operational in December. GreenField Ethanol currently produces some 350 million litres a year of fuel ethanol, with plants in Chatham and Tiverton, Ontario and Varennes, Quebec.
