Enerkem Inc. recently announced its agreement with Shanghai Marine Diesel Engine Research Institute (SMDERI) to develop a project and jointly build a waste-to-biofuels facility in China.
The agreement was signed by Dr. Donghan Jin, President of Shanghai Marine Diesel Engine Research Institute, and Mr. Vincent Chornet, President and CEO of Enerkem. This was made in the presence of the Premier of Quebec, Mr. Philippe Couillard, as part of the Quebec's trade mission in China.
"We are honored 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," said Vincent Chornet.
