Enerkem Inc., a waste-to-biofuels and chemicals producer, today announced it was named a 2014 Global Cleantech 100 company by the Cleantech Group, a global research and advisory firm focused on innovation in energy and the environment. The Global Cleantech 100 represents the most innovative and promising ideas in cleantech. Featuring companies that are best positioned to solve tomorrow’s clean technology challenges, Global Cleantech 100 is a comprehensive list of private companies with the highest potential to make the most significant market impact. “We are honoured to be part of this inspiring group of entrepreneurs,” said Vincent Chornet, President and CEO of Enerkem. “The launch of our first full-scale commercial facility in Edmonton was a huge milestone. As we enter global markets, we look forward to working with several communities around the world to accelerate the transition
to a circular economy.”
The Global Cleantech 100 list is collated by combining proprietary Cleantech Group research data, with weighted qualitative judgments of hundreds of nominations, and specific inputs from a global 84-person expert panel. To qualify for the list, companies must be independent, for-profit, cleantech companies that are not listed on any major stock exchange. “The Global Cleantech 100 each year provides us with invaluable insight into which companies key market players think are most likely to have a significant impact in the next 5-10 years,” said Richard Youngman, Cleantech Group’s Managing Director, Europe & Asia and creator of the program. “How the composition of the Global Cleantech 100 list changes over time is revealing of key megatrends and hot sub-sectors – and helps us all get a view on the future.”
