Renewable chemicals
Trillium is a spin-out from Southern Research (Alabama, USA) that has developed an economical and sustainable process to produce acrylonitrile from renewable resources.
Trillium provides a green drop-in, cost-effective alternative to chemicals that are currently produced from fossil fuel-derived propylene. Trillium’s bio-based chemicals are identical and therefore deliver equal performance after conversion into the desired materials. Furthermore, Trillium’s technology can be used in local, small-scale production units, so the long-range hazardous transport of acrylonitrile can be avoided. As a result, a public health risk is removed and GHG emissions can be meaningfully reduced.
