Trillium Renewable Chemicals is developing a chemical process technology for the manufacture of acrylonitrile and acetonitrile from renewable feedstocks (e.g. glycerol). Acrylonitrile is a valuable intermediate used in the production of a wide range of molecules, e.g.: acrylic fibers, carbon fibers, specialty amines, nylon, adiponitrile, styrene acrylonitrile resin, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, nitrile rubbers, and acrylamide. By making a green, drop-in replacement precursor, Trillium helps customers reach sustainability goals. These drop-in replacement molecules have a wide range of applications with strong sustainability drivers, e.g.: apparel, automotive parts, toys, sporting goods, household furnishings, and water treatment.

CEO at Trillium Renewable Chemicals.

Trillium is an industrial company. We're scaling up a chemical process. Right now, we're operating a demonstration scale plant in Texas. We'll make a product called acrylonitrile, which is a chemical building block used to make a wide range of materials with many end uses (apparel, toys, consumer electronics, sports equipment, automotive parts, water treatment chemicals, rubber gloves, aerospace parts, renewable energy, pressure vessels, personal care products). Trillium makes the product from plant-based raw materials, so it's a green product that enables sustainable versions of all these same consumer and industrial products.
