Greenfield Global Québec Inc.

In operation since 2007, Greenfield Global Québec’s facility in Varennes was the first ethanol plant to be built in Quebec and remains a model of energy and water efficiency in its production of the lowest intensity ethanol in Canada.

The Varennes biorefinery has a unique partnership with the Société d'économie mixte de l'est de la couronne sud (SEMECS), which treats the organic waste of local municipalities and turns it into biogas and fertilizers. The Varennes plant uses this biogas in its process facilities, reducing its reliance on natural gas and carbon footprint.

Greenfield Global Québec Inc. is currently involved in several projects aimed at decarbonizing the maritime sector that include:

• A cooperation and development agreement with the Montreal Port Authority
• An R&D project with Innovation maritime (IMAR) to develop green methanol/diesel blends
• Participation in a Quebec government working group to decarbonize the maritime industry
• Development of a project to produce e-methanol for maritime transportation
• Discussions with several ship owners regarding e-methanol supply contracts

Greenfield Global Québec is part of a larger Canadian enterprise launched in 1989 and since achieving worldwide reach. The family-owned company has as its environmental mission the goal of reducing to carbon dioxide to 350 parts per million in the Earth’s atmosphere to reverse climate change.
