Enerkem <br /> refiners to blend with gasoline to help reduce fossil fuel consumption and produce <br /> cleaner, more complete combustion than gasoline alone. <br /> Enerkem's process produces what is most commonly known as "second-generation" or <br /> "cellulosic" ethanol, which comes from carbon-rich residual biomass. This differentiates <br /> it from "first-generation" biofuels, which come from sugar-rich crops like corn. <br /> One of ethanol's benefits is its high-octane level. Unleaded gasoline octane ratings <br /> range from 87 to 91, while pure ethanol has an octane rating of 113. When used in flex- <br /> fuel cars, which can use ethanol blends up to 85 percent, the octane rating reaches as <br /> high as 105. <br /> Staffing Plan <br /> The table below shows a standard staffing plan for an Enerkem facility, including a <br /> breakdown of positions, number of full-time equivalents, typical education and <br /> experience profiles. The proposed facility will have a minimum of 48 permanent <br /> positions. Key positions (among which are management positions) would be trained in <br /> an existing commercial facility, as such as the Enerkem Alberta Biofuels facility in <br /> Edmonton, to ensure technical knowledge transfer as well as learnings from previous <br /> pre-commissioning, commissioning, and ramp-up experience. <br /> Proposed Elk River staffing projection <br /> =171111111111 Ji MT MTFI TWITT" <br /> Plant Manager 1 15 years Chemical or Mechanical Engineering <br /> managing a <br /> facility <br /> Operations Manager 1 10 to 12 years, 3 Engineering degree <br /> years in <br /> managerial role <br /> Maintenance and 1 7 to 10 years, 2 Mechanical Engineering degree <br /> Reliability Manager years in <br /> managerial role <br /> Engineering manager 1 10 to 12 years, at Chemical or Mechanical Engineering <br /> least 3 years of Degree <br /> managerial <br /> experience <br /> Page 6 <br />
