Greenfield looking to expand ethanol production on the back of Quebec’s proposed mandate increase

In Canada, the announcement of the proposed renewable fuel regulations in Quebec comes at a time when Greenfield is considering the adaptation of emerging advanced biofuels technologies using non-traditional feedstocks and processes, including cellulosic ethanol, renewable diesel, and renewable natural gas to further reduce the carbon intensity of its biofuels. The first phase of Greenfield’s expansion study was completed in 2018, and the second phase will now commence with engineering, feedstock and environmental studies. Phase 2 will include a thorough review of available feedstocks, engineering assessments, and new technologies.
