Inauguration of the first ethanol manufacturing plant in Quebec

Last June 20, Canada's leading ethanol producer, GreenField Ethanol, officially opened its first ethanol manufacturing plant in the province of Quebec. Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Chuck Strahl, toured the Varennes-based plant (South shore of Montreal) with GreenField Ethanol's Chairman Kenneth Field as well as President and CEO Robert Gallant. The complex is part of a network of five operating facilities that will produce more than 700 million litres of ethanol per year by 2008.
