Thermochemical Process Technology
Enerkem makes transportation fuels and chemicals from garbage instead of petroleum. Enerkem’s patented technology chemically recycles the carbon contained in non-recyclable waste (i.e. garbage). In less than 5 minutes, Enerkem’s process first converts this carbon into a pure synthesis gas (also called syngas), which is then turned into biofuels and chemicals, using commercially available catalysts.

Product Overview
“Multifeedstock / multiproduct” is what differentiates Enerkem’s technology platform.
Since 2000, Enerkem has tested and validated a number of different feedstocks – from solid waste coming from several municipalities to dozens of other types of residues. In Enerkem’s system, these feedstocks are converted into methanol, ethanol or other renewable chemicals. In turn, methanol is a chemical building block for the production of secondary chemicals, such as olefins, acrylic acid, n-Propanol, and n-Butanol, which can then be used to form thousands of everyday products.
Enerkem’s exclusive process is environmentally sound. It requires relatively low temperatures and pressures, which reduces energy requirements and costs. Enerkem’s proprietary technology was rigorously scaled up from pilot to demonstration to commercial stage during an unprecedented period of 10 years of disciplined efforts.
Enerkem’s 4-step thermochemical process:
- feedstock preparation
- gasification
- cleaning and conditioning of syngas
- catalytic synthesis
