Greenfield Global was honored to be chosen to be featured in the Bioenergy Horizons documentary series, which premiered at the UN-sponsored COP30 conference in Belém, Brazil. Produced by the World Bioenergy Association and Black Rook Media, the series spotlights bioenergy leaders and how they are innovating lower-carbon solutions at scale.

Greenfield Global’s episode highlights our farm-to-biorefinery model, showing how the company’s quality systems and community partnerships power lower-carbon ethanol and renewable energy across North America.

Andrea Kent, VP Government & Industry Relations, emphasizes the urgency of action in the film:

“The reality is that some of the most important greenhouse gas reductions that we can make are the reductions we can make today.”

That principle—delivering meaningful climate impact today while building infrastructure for tomorrow—shapes how Greenfield Global invests and operates.

Bioenergy Horizons Documentary Series - Greenfield Global

What Makes Greenfield Global Different: Integrated Circular Energy Systems

Unlike conventional ethanol producers, Greenfield Global operates a circular energy model that connects agriculture, municipal waste management systems, and biorefinery operations. The documentary showcases this approach through two key facilities.

In Quebec, Greenfield Global owns part of and operates SEMECS, one of North America’s largest anerobic digestion facilities. Each year, the facility converts 120,000 metric tons of municipal organic waste into renewable natural gas (RNG). Some of this RNG is used to offset energy demand at Greenfield Global’s adjacent biorefinery. Community waste streams are transformed into renewable energy that helps power ethanol production, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

At Greenfield Global’s Johnstown, Ontario biorefinery—one of four ethanol facilities in our North American network—1,600–1,800 metric tons of locally sourced corn is converted each day into low-carbon fuel ethanol and valuable co-products, including high-protein animal feed, corn oil for renewable diesel production, and CO₂ for industrial use.

This integrated approach demonstrates Greenfield Global’s innovative thinking that extends beyond traditional ethanol production into building durable systems that cut waste and lower emissions over the long term.

Farm-to-Refinery Partnerships that Anchor Rural Communities

The film also showcases the type of long-term agricultural relationships that anchor Greenfield Global’s business model. Featured in the documentary is a fourth-generation farm owner and operator whose family’s 125-year connection to the land now supports Canada’s lower-carbon future. Collaborations like this provide stable markets for growers while ensuring our biorefineries receive high-quality, renewable feedstock.

Most of the corn processed through Johnstown is grown within 100 km of the facility. Every part of each kernel is used to create value for local agriculture, industrial, and fuel markets. Water used in the process is treated and returned to the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Transparent Sustainability, Measurable Progress

While the documentary highlights elements of our approach, our full environmental performance is documented in annual Sustainability report.
Although Greenfield Global is privately held and not subject to mandatory sustainability reporting requirements, the company voluntarily publishes ESG reports that track key data and initiatives with the same level of transparency you would expect from a public company.
Transparency is not a compliance exercise; it is a core principle of how we operate, and it helps build trust with customers, communities, and partners who rely on dependable, lower-carbon supply chains.

Greenfield Global announced a new strategic distribution agreement with Spectrum Chemical, expanding access to the company’s high-quality solvents and critical raw materials for life sciences, pharmaceutical, and other essential industries.

This collaboration strengthens what customers already value from Greenfield Global: dependable supply enabled by our vertically integrated operations, rigorous quality assurance, and responsive technical support across our global network. Combined with Spectrum Chemical’s established distribution reach, this agreement helps ensure that customers have access to the critical materials they rely on, helping them accelerate innovation and maintain the highest standards of quality and compliance.

As Vey Garofalo, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Greenfield Global’s Specialty Chemicals and Ingredients business unit, stated in the announcement:
“This collaboration combines Spectrum Chemical’s extensive distribution network with Greenfield Global’s expertise in high-purity solvents, ensuring customers have even more access to the products they need, when they need them.”

Together, the two companies are reinforcing their shared commitment to secure supply, technical support, and the flexibility required by customers operating in complex, highly regulated environments.

For more than three decades, Greenfield Global has turned environmental responsibility into a platform for innovation that advances a healthier planet, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future for all. This year’s results highlight our commitment to environmental health, employee wellbeing, and community strength.

Key outcomes include: $15.3 million invested over the past 10 years in research, development, and early-stage project design to advance key carbon-reduction projects, 51% decline in hazardous waste generation from the previous year, and continued recognition as Canada’s Safest Chemistry Employer. We’ve also increased our community engagement through collaborations with 84 organizations.

Ambitious new goals target a 20% reduction in water intake by 2027, with direct greenhouse gas emissions set to drop 30% below 2024 levels, and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy cut 60% below 2024 levels by 2030.

More than a record of progress, this report reinforces Greenfield Global’s promise of continuous improvement and transparency.

SHELBYVILLE, KY, September 24, 2025 — Greenfield Global announced today the commencement of construction of a dedicated Other Than Standard Wine (OTSW) production facility on its 16-acre campus in Shelbyville, Kentucky. This strategic investment responds to growing demand from U.S. beverage producers seeking TTB approved high-quality wine-based ingredients that also mitigate tariff risk.

The new facility will feature a 40,000-gallon blend tank, a state-of-the-art reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment system, and food safety and Kosher certifications. Located in the heart of bourbon country, the site is optimally located at the epicenter of America’s flavored spirits industry and offers direct rail access and flexible shipping options—including tankers and totes—ensuring rapid delivery and reduced freight costs.

With this investment, Greenfield will deliver supply chain security, tariff risk mitigation, and products that meet regulatory requirements. The site will produce grape and orange OTSW and will leverage ingredients that Greenfield produces in-house, ensuring product quality throughout the entire production process. This adds to Greenfield’s growing portfolio of cost-effective and sustainably produced beverage ingredients to help you optimize your excise tax.

“Today’s beverage producers face rising costs, regulatory complexity, and tariff uncertainty,” said Jimmy Bookstore, Vice President of Beverage and Alcohol Ingredients. “By producing OTSW domestically with our proprietary ingredients and processes, we help customers reduce COGS, simplify operations, and unlock new growth opportunities.”

Construction is underway, with shipments from Shelbyville expected to begin mid-2026. Greenfield will continue supplying 5010-eligible OTSW from its Canadian facility to ensure uninterrupted service.

Business View – Greenfield Global Feature

Greenfield Global is providing the life sciences sector with greater volumes of custom solutions under the Pharmco brand, to enhance supply chain confidence and reduce production lead times.

Brookfield, Connecticut (September 28, 2022) – To meet the increased demand from biopharma customers, Greenfield Global is tripling its production capacity for ethanol blends with water-for-injection (“WFI”) at its Brookfield, Connecticut plant from a 2,000 gallon tank to a total capacity just shy of 6,000 gallons.

Greenfield’s increased capacity provides greater confidence in supply chain security and increases production lead times for the laboratories, medical device manufacturers, and both large and small molecule pharmaceutical companies served around the globe. Under the Pharmco brand, Greenfield offers access to a larger volume of these ready to use solutions, helping customers improve their own manufacturing efficiencies as they can rely on Greenfield to quickly meet the demand to make the product they need to their exact specifications.

In addition to blending Greenfield’s USP and World Grade ethanol with WFI, the company also has the capability to blend additional custom solutions used in chromatography resin cleaning, storage, and regeneration in any package size or format required by customers – pails, drums, totes, and single-use containers.

“In medicine and life sciences, innovation happens fast, and the stakes are high.

NII to explore potential for hydrogen demonstration plant in Bruce County

(Port Elgin, Ontario) The Nuclear Innovation Institute (NII) has launched a new study into the role of nuclear power in supporting a growing hydrogen economy. The study will be the first of its kind in Canada to evaluate the technical viability and business case for hydrogen production from emissions-free nuclear power.

Work on the study will be led by Arcadis, supported by NII and project partners Bruce Power and Greenfield Global.

“Hydrogen is poised to play a key role in a net-zero future,” said David Campbell, Director of NII’s Bruce Power Centre for Next Generation Nuclear. “This project will provide a unique exploration of how nuclear power can provide the clean, affordable hydrogen that Ontario will need to continue decarbonizing our economy.”

The project continues the Centre’s research into the potential for hydrogen production and use in Ontario. Hydrogen holds remarkable promise as a source of clean energy with diverse applications and is projected by industry observers to become an increasingly important energy resource in the coming decades. This study will investigate the viability of a local pilot project to demonstrate the economics of the technology, in preparation for the rapid growth of the hydrogen economy.

The study builds on other local work, such as that done through the Bruce Innovates project, to explore the significant benefits a hydrogen project could bring to the region. These benefits include new export opportunities, new trade partnerships between local vendors, and the creation of high-paying jobs. Governments at all levels will also benefit from the study as they execute their own hydrogen strategies.

Bruce County is well positioned to advance the hydrogen economy due to its existing energy expertise, geographic advantages, and natural resources. This project will be another step in building the region’s reputation as the Clean Energy Frontier—a place where government and private sector alike forge the path to a net-zero future.

“Arcadis is honored to conduct this study on behalf of the Centre and its partners, and to play a part in driving green energy forward,” said Dr. Doug Chambers, vice president at Arcadis. “Hydrogen is a key component in designing sustainable solutions and exploring its potential will help propel a larger transition toward a net-zero emissions economy that works for future generations.”

“As the leading producer of low-carbon transportation fuel in Canada, we are delighted to explore the potential of making clean hydrogen in a joint venture with Bruce Power, which provides clean, low-cost electricity to every third home, hospital and business across Ontario,” said Howard Field, CEO of Greenfield Global. “Our two companies have been neighbours and proud corporate citizens of Bruce County for over 30 years.”

“Thanks to Bruce Power and the nuclear industry, Ontario has a deeply decarbonized electricity system,” said Mike Rencheck, Bruce Power’s President and CEO. “We can leverage that system as a competitive advantage to attract new investment in innovation and to decarbonize other sectors of the economy through the production and use of hydrogen as a clean fuel alternative.”

The Bruce Power Centre for Next Generation Nuclear is a think tank created to study the future of hydrogen, small modular reactors (SMRs) and fusion energy and understand how these technologies can be leveraged to achieve a net-zero economy.

BROOKFIELD, Conn., December 8, 2020 /[CNW]/ — Greenfield Global Inc., one of Canada’s largest ethanol producers and a global leader in the production high-purity specialty alcohols and solvents, announced today that it has been awarded Excipient Quality System (EXCiPACT) Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification for specific ethanol, acetone, and IPA products at its Brookfield, Connecticut site.

EXCiPACT, an independent, globally recognized certification, is the industry-accepted guideline for managing supply chain risks related to excipients, which are inactive substances that serve as a vehicle for medicinal drugs or other active substances. The rigorous assessment process and subsequent EXCiPACT certification demonstrate that Greenfield Global manufactures pharmaceutical excipients according to the EXCiPACT Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Certification Standard.

“This certification reflects Greenfield Global’s commitment to providing high-quality products and services to our customers,” said Frank Richards, EVP & Managing Director, Specialty Chemicals and Ingredients. “For over 30 years, Greenfield Global under its Pharmco brand has ensured that its product safety standards meet or exceed regulatory and customer requirements.”

The following Pharmco branded products are covered under the EXCiPACT certification, and can be shipped in tanker trailers and ISO containers:

Ontario’s boost to ethanol blending will mean lower greenhouse gas emissions and more affordable fuel for consumers in the province.

Toronto, Ontario, November 26, 2020 /[CNW]/ — Greenfield Global Inc., Ontario’s first and one of Canada’s largest ethanol producers, today applauded the Ontario government’s announcement of increased requirements for renewable content in regular-grade gasoline from 10 to 15 percent by 2030.

Ethanol is a clean and renewable fuel that can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by as much as 60 percent compared to gasoline. Ethanol is already blended in most of the province’s gasoline and provides motorists with an affordable, environmentally friendly, high-performance fuel. As countries worldwide look at increasingly ambitious ways to protect environmental health and build a better future, ethanol provides a smart and ready solution for transportation fuels.

“More than ever, economies need quick and practical measures to lower the greenhouse gases that are responsible for climate change and threatening the health of our planet,” said Greenfield Global President and CEO, Howard Field. “Boosting ethanol content in gasoline is a proven, rapid, and economically sustainable way to fight climate change while spurring jobs, supporting the agriculture community and fostering innovation.”

These changes fulfill a commitment that is part of the Made-In-Ontario Environment Plan and will contribute to the province’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2030.

“Ethanol plays a critical role in energy policy around the world for good reason,” said Jean Roberge, EVP & Managing Director of the Greenfield Global Renewable Energy Business Unit. “Ontario’s move to greener and cleaner gasoline will cut greenhouse gases from transportation, support local jobs and farms, and help drivers save money at the pump – it’s a solution for today and well into the future.”

The former Corn Plus facility in Winnebago, Minnesota, is Greenfield’s first fuel ethanol asset in the United States

Toronto, Ontario, October 21, 2020 /[CNW]/ — Greenfield Global Inc., Canada’s largest fuel ethanol producer, announced today that it will acquire the 182 million litre (48 million gallon) per-year Corn Plus ethanol facility in Winnebago, Minnesota.

The Corn Plus facility makes ethanol for the purpose of blending into gasoline and has been shuttered since September 2019.

“This ushers in a new era of North American production for Greenfield,” said Howard Field, President & CEO of Greenfield Global.” We are excited to join producers in the United States in making the world’s cleanest and most accessible biofuel. The addition of Corn Plus to our biofuels portfolio complements our strategy of being a leading producer of renewable energy solutions and enhances our ability to service low-carbon fuel markets more effectively and efficiently.

”North American fuel markets will continue to operate as an increasingly interconnected supply chain given the market challenges of COVID-19, coupled with the recent coming into force of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement(USMCA). Greenfield Global’s addition of a United States based-corn ethanol facility provides the Company with a larger and more diverse geographic footprint from which to operate. Greenfield Global purchased the Corn Plus facility in a receivership process. The Company expects to produce fuel ethanol and its co-products once a startup plan is established.

“We look forward to welcoming the Corn Plus team to Greenfield, re-establishing a market for Minnesota corn growers, and working closely with the community to bring jobs back to Winnebago.” said Jean Roberge, EVP & Managing Director of the Greenfield Global Renewable Energy Business Unit. “We are confident that our best practices, paired with the technology adaptation experience of our combined staff, will produce Greenfield’s industry-leading, low carbon intensity biofuels from this facility.

”Roberge added, “Biofuels are the key to lowering greenhouse emissions in the transportation sector. This investment in our ethanol portfolio, combined with the expansion of our biorefinery in Varennes, Quebec, will significantly increase our ability to supply renewable fuel needed to help preserve the health of our planet.”

Douglas Dias, Greenfield Global’s VP Sales and Market Development, stated “Greenfield’s fuel ethanol customers will benefit from this new supply of low carbon
ethanol. We are excited to offer our existing customers more resilience and broader supply options to meet their increasing demands, while serving new fuel customers in the United States.”

Greenfield to produce 100 Million Litres per year of US Pharmacopeia Grade (USP) alcohol at its facility in Johnstown, Ontario.
Johnstown, Ontario, October 16, 2020 /[CNW]/ — Greenfield Global Inc., Canada’s largest producer of fuel ethanol, and a global leader in the production high-purity specialty alcohols & solvents, announced today that it will begin producing 100 million litres per year of various grades of high purity alcohols, including USP grade, at its 250 million litre per year ethanol facility in Johnstown, Ontario before the end of 2021.

The global pandemic has created an unprecedented demand for both USP Grade alcohol-based hand sanitizers and surface disinfectants which are used to reduce the spread of infectious disease. In April, Greenfield responded to this unprecedented surge in customer demand and maximized production of high-purity alcohols. However, the growth in demand for Greenfield’s high purity alcohols and solvents, both domestic and abroad, warranted a significant expansion in production capacity.

“Expansion of our Johnstown facility is an exciting milestone for Greenfield, a considerable step forward in our domestic supply capacity, and will greatly enhance our capabilities to serve our customers, including Life Science and pharmaceutical companies that are experiencing unprecedented demand for their products,” said Greenfield President and CEO, Howard Field. “This expansion empowers us to increase our supply of high-purity, USP Grade alcohol and produce additional volumes of the highest quality products serving the Canadian market, as well as our newly opened European packaging facility and hub in Portlaoise, Ireland.”

Greenfield is widely regarded as one of the leading high purity alcohol producers worldwide, with distributors in more than 50 countries, as well as five downstream packaging and blending facilities in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Each year, more than 2,500 customers rely on Greenfield’s 30-year history of quality, consistency, and security of supply. The addition of its 100 million litre high purity alcohol distillation system at the company’s Johnstown plant will be accompanied by significant investments in its finished product storage and segregation tanks, a new GMP laboratory, additional rail capacity, and other enhancements related to securing various food and pharmaceutical grade certifications. Moreover, the addition of this high purity alcohol production capacity in Johnstown will allow for more efficient logistics for many of its customers in North America and Europe.

Greenfield received a $2.5 million grant under the Ontario Together Fund (OTF) of the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade (MEDJCT) to support the production of additional volumes of high-purity alcohols required by healthcare and medical professionals, life sciences and pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as front-line workers across the province.

The construction project begins this month and is expected to take 12 months. It will create many jobs, including construction, administration, plant operations, and ancillary jobs in the Johnstown, Prescott, Brockville, and surrounding area. It will also be creating a new domestic market to boost the local agricultural economy. Greenfield’s ongoing fuel ethanol demand will be met with increased production at its biorefinery in Varennes, Québec.

“Agility, collaboration, and innovation have always been in Greenfield’s DNA,” continued Field. “Our team in Johnstown worked around the clock with Health Canada to produce a substitute for USP alcohol that would satisfy the demand in the short term. Now, with this expansion, we will continue to do our part to keep Ontarians, and Canadians protected, healthy, and safe.”

The fact that our onsite team, DPS Engineering and all of our contractors had to very quickly change protocol to account for COVID-19, launch and manage a new set of health and safety standards, while still moving this project forward is a feat. All while maintaining Greenfield’s standards of excellence. We are encouraged to move this project to the next phase and will soon be able to service our existing and new customers with Pharmco branded products, including pharmaceutical companies, from Europe and beyond. Greenfield’s manufacturing headquarters in Portlaoise will become a critical part of the Life Science ecosystem in Europe and beyond, especially considering the improvements we can make to globally damaged supply chains caused by COVID-19.”

Minister of State Department of Finance with responsibility for Financial Services, Credit Unions and Insurance Sean Fleming TD. who attended today’s announcement, said: “This investment is a very positive development for the Midlands region and is further evidence of the benefits of locating in the regions outside Dublin where there is access to talent, lower operating costs, and higher staff retention rates. Greenfield Global’s decision to locate their new EU manufacturing headquarters here is not only a sign of the capacity and capabilities that the Midlands provides, but also a sign of Ireland’s expertise and our strong and growing life sciences ecosystem. I would like to welcome Greenfield Global to the area and I look forward to working with them over the coming years.”

CEO of IDA Ireland Martin Shanahan said “I wish to congratulate Greenfield Global on reaching this milestone – the establishment of its EU Manufacturing Headquarters in Portlaoise – which is also Greenfield Global’s first facility outside of North America. Greenfield Global’s presence in the Midlands is of considerable benefit to the economy of the region and enhances Ireland’s vibrant EIT sector. I wish the team here and in North America continued success with the ongoing support of IDA Ireland.”

Longhorn has selected Greenfield Global’s Pharmco brand high purity reagent alcohol to quickly distribute its PrimeStore MTM® worldwide.

BROOKFIELD, Conn., June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Longhorn Vaccines & Diagnostics, an innovative molecular tool, assay and vaccine development company, and Pharmco, Greenfield Global’s popular brand of specialty alcohols and high-purity solvents, have combined to rapidly accelerate coronavirus testing and detection which are critical to combating the global COVID-19 pandemic.

In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, most of the COVID-19 testing requires sample collection devices, such as viral transport mediums, that keep the virus alive within the sample and require refrigeration, special shipping and biosafety containment. Unlike standard methods for collecting and transporting samples, Longhorn’s PrimeStore MTM® safely deactivates pathogens at the point of collection and stabilizes RNA and DNA, allowing enhanced point of care and ambient temperature transport for laboratory-based molecular testing and characterization with no need for special containment facilities.

“Safe and robust collection of high-quality samples that can be processed on standard lab benches using conventional qPCR have enabled rapid detection from patients and assisted in combating the global COVID19 pandemic,” said Dr. Luke T. Daum, Chief Scientific Officer at Longhorn Vaccines and Diagnostics and the inventor of PrimeStore MTM®. “What makes PrimeStore MTM® so important is that once an oral or nasal swab is collected, the viruses and bacteria from the sample are lysed/inactivated, the RNA and DNA are stabilized for safe transport and processing outside of BSL-2/3 laboratories.”

“Formulating solvents that meet our customers’ criteria allows us to help them make incredible products and meet the demands of the market,” said Steve DiBenedetto, Senior Vice President of Sales & Operations. “Our Pharmco branded products are blended and packaged at our GMP-compliant facilities operating under an ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System which ensures a high quality, consistent product. Longhorn Vaccines and Diagnostic Testing’s innovation is remarkable. We value their trust in our top-quality products, our security of supply, and our reliable supply chain, which allows us to help support millions of critical tests worldwide.” PrimeStore MTM® is an FDA-cleared collection medium for respiratory samples, including SARS-CoV-2 virus and has emerged to become a critical tool in the fight against COVID19.

About Longhorn Vaccines and Diagnostics
Longhorn Vaccines & Diagnostics is an innovative molecular tool, assay and vaccine development company focused on serving unmet critical needs in both developed and developing nations. Longhorn’s core product, PrimeStoreMolecular Transport Medium® (MTM), is a patented, FDA cleared, state-of-the-art ambient temperature molecular diagnostic collection and transport device that can help governments, global health organizations and drug manufacturers improve the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases such as mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) and Influenza. Unlike standard devices for collecting and transporting TB samples, PrimeStore MTM® is the first molecular transport device that can safely deactivate pathogens and stabilize RNA and DNA, allowing enhanced point of care and ambient temperature transport for laboratory based molecular testing and characterization. Longhorn is based in Bethesda, Maryland with the research and development facility in San Antonio, Texas.

Greenfield’s distilleries and manufacturing facilities are developing new formulations to add additional supply of critically needed hand sanitizers and disinfectants

TORONTO, March 24, 2020 – Greenfield Global Inc., a global leader in ethanol, high-purity specialty alcohols and solvents production, has been producing and shipping vital alcohols and solvents at a record pace to combat the worldwide spread of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. As part of this effort, the company has adjusted its production to maximize disinfectant, hand sanitizer, pharmaceutical and food processing materials to supply the North American market at this time of increased need via its Pharmco and Commercial Alcohols brands.

The 30-year-old company, which produces over 700 million liters per year of high-quality beverage alcohol, high purity pharmaceutical and industrial alcohol, and fuel ethanol has maximized its production to keep up with increasing demand. This includes prioritizing its efforts to support indispensable front-line workers fighting the spread of COVID-19 (i.e., hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, research labs, janitorial services, etc.), as well as other customers involved in meeting the demand for disinfectant products. Internal teams have also been tasked with developing plans to quickly increase production to satisfy the growing demand.

“Greenfield’s 525 employees are proud to be working closely with US and Canadian governments to increase our production capacity and find innovative ways to formulate more alcohols and solvents that can be used to make products that are essential to fight the spread of COVID-19,” says Howard Field, Chief Executive Officer of Greenfield Global. “We are a critical part of many supply chains that are on the front lines to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic, and our entire team is working around the clock to develop creative solutions to produce more, and ensure that our supply chains remain intact.”

In cases where community funds or supplies have run dry, Greenfield is donating product to improve the health and safety of residents who have resorted to using improvised sanitizers and disinfectants. These additional runs of products, along with unprecedented levels of demand and product inquiries, are being tirelessly fulfilled by Greenfield’s dedicated staff.

“Our number one priority is always the health and safety of both our team and our communities” says Mr. Field. “Inspired by the agility, commitment, and innovation of like-minded companies that are stepping up in this time of need, Greenfield will do its part to keep critical products flowing to medical professionals, government agencies and consumers by creatively using our assets to maximize production of those vital products.”

Province’s largest ethanol producer says the policy could result in a major expansion of the output of its production in Quebec.

VARENNES, QC, 11 October 2019— Greenfield Global Inc., Canada’s largest ethanol producer and a world leader in high-purity specialty alcohols, welcomed the Government of Quebec’s pre-publication of draft regulations on the minimum volume of renewable fuel in gasoline and diesel fuel. Announced this week, the government’s proposal would set blending thresholds of 10% renewable fuel in gasoline and 2% in diesel fuel by 2021 and increase the thresholds to 15% in gasoline and 4% in diesel fuel, respectively, by 2025.

Jean Roberge, EVP and Managing Director of Renewable Energy commented, “Greenfield applauds the Quebec Government for its ambitious targets and firm commitment to transition the province’s energy. Biofuels are indeed a sector for the future. The Government is demonstrating true leadership on climate change and taking steps necessary to effectively and efficiently increase the use and production of renewable fuels, like ethanol, in the province.”

Greenfield operates the first ethanol plant built in Quebec. In operation since 2007, the Varennes biorefinery is a model for water and energy efficiency and produces the lowest carbon intensity ethanol in Canada, as well as corn oil and distillers’ grain.

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.

“Provincial renewable fuel mandates, such as Quebec’s proposed regulation, are proven to make meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. It also helps to anchor investment in the region,” continued Roberge. “Quebec’s announcement to increase renewable fuel blending requirements has resulted in the launch of Phase 2 of our feasibility study for production expansion at our Varennes biorefinery.”

Phase 2 will include a thorough review of available feedstocks, engineering assessments, and new technologies. As has always been the case, Greenfield remains focused on job creation, local environment and economic benefits, agriculture, and advancing research in developing the next generation of its biofuel production platform.
