The company has said that the project will benefit the Sarnia-Lambton area through the creation of 350 jobs during construction and 15 new jobs to operate the expanded plant, as well as supporting demand for feedstock, approximately 40 million bushels of corn annually, from local farmers.

Rick George, president and CEO of Suncor Energy, said: "This is great news for Suncor, for Southern Ontario and for Canada. As a Canadian industry leader in renewable energy we're excited about the prospect of increasing our alternative fuel production and exploring future opportunities to integrate ethanol into our expanded retail operations."
