UPM’s Lappeenranta Biorefinery is the world’s first producer of wood-based renewable diesel and renewable naphtha for the transport and petrochemical sectors with a capacity of 130,000 tonnes. UPM BioVerno reduces greenhouse gas emissions by over 80%. UPM has announced its intention to grow in advanced biofuels and is studying an investment option for another biorefinery with a 500,000-tonne capacity.


Ian Denis

Vice Chair

Enerkem has developed a proprietary gasification technology to produce advanced biofuels, low-carbon fuels and chemicals from waste and residues (e.g. municipal solid waste). Enerkem’s solution helps diversify energy sources and offers a sustainable alternative to landfilling and incineration.
Enerkem’s technology is currently at the heart of the Varennes Carbon Recycling (VCR) biorefinery project in Varennes, Québec. The plant is under construction and will convert a combination of forest biomass residues and non-recyclable residual materials into 100,000 tonnes per annum of bio and circular methanol. Enerkem’s gasification technology is also central to the Ecoplanta project in Tarragona, Spain. This project, led by Repsol, a leader in the Spanish petrochemical industry, has received funding from the European Commission’s Innovation Fund.
