Guy Drouin, President and CEO of Biothermica, Honoured by Canada’s Clean50

Recognized as a leader of Canada’s green economy Montréal, September 20, 2016 — Guy Drouin, President of Biothermica Carbone Inc., is among the recipients of the Canada’s Clean50 award (www.clean50.com), which honours leaders from the research community, companies, non-governmental organizations and governments who have distinguished themselves over the last two years through their contribution to sustainable development. Previous honorees include Catherine Potvin, Chris Ragan, and Stewart Elgie. The award recognizes the development and global commercialization of the VAMOX technology, which destroys methane emissions from coal mining operations. These emissions account for about 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Under Guy Drouin’s leadership, Biothermica financed, built, owned, and operated the first coal mine methane recovery system in North America. This enabled the company to generate more than 80,000 offset credits sold on California’s carbon market, making it the first Canadian company to offer this type of credit there.
