Enerkem Inc., a Montreal, Canada-based waste-to-biofuels and chemicals producer, raised C$152.6m in funding.

The financings are comprised of:
– a recent C$29m debt facility from Integrated Asset Management Corp.’s (IAM) Private Debt Group
– C$50m in private placements from current investors and
– C$73.6m of debt from two other lenders.
