The plant, once operational, would see the conversion of more than 200,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste and wood waste into an annual production of nearly 125 million litres of biofuels.
Dominique Boies, CEO and CFO of Enerkem, says the factory will reduce greenhouse gas equivalent to taking close to 50,000 vehicles off the road annually.
The biofuels produced from the Varennes plant will be sold to company partners, Shell, Suncor and Proman to be used in other products.
Initial construction of the plant began over the summer.
The scheduled date of completion is set to be in the year 2023.
