Methes Energies Receives New Producer of the Year Award
Methes Energies International Ltd. (
The award was presented to Methes Energies by Mr. Tim Haig, Chairman of the Board of the CRFA, at the 9th Annual Canadian Renewable Fuels Summit. This year's event was held December 3-5 in Ottawa, Ontario and attracted over 200 professionals from across North America -- bringing together individuals from Canada's leading petroleum, ethanol and biodiesel companies, trade suppliers, government officials and members of the finance and investment industries.
Recently commissioned, Methes Energies' new Sombra, Ontario facility has a capacity of 13 Million gallons per year (50 MLY). The facility operates with Methes' own technology, the Denami 3000 which can produce biodiesel from a wide variety of feedstock.
"These awards celebrate the hard work and dedication of those working in our Canadian renewable fuels industry," said CRFA President W. Scott Thurlow. "As a new producer of biodiesel in Canada, Methes is helping provide Canadians with the best fuel choices for their transportation needs. After all, the transportation sector accounts for almost a quarter of Greenhouse gas emissions. Any strategy to address emissions in Canada needs to speak to vehicle emissions -- and biodiesel producers like Methes certainly have a vital role to play."
Vince Megaro, Marketing Director at Methes Energies Canada Inc., said, "We are pleased and appreciate the recognition. We are proud of our new facility. This award from the CRFA is welcomed and going out to our team members on the ground in Sombra. They have done a great job."
