Trillium to Build World's First Biobased Acrylonitrile Demonstration Plant Trillium Renewable Chemicals (Knoxville, Tennessee) has announced the selection of INEOS Nitriles' Green Lake facility in Port Lavaca, Texas, to establish the world's first demonstration plant converting plant-based glycerin into acrylonitrile. This project is named "Project Falcon." Trillium Renewable Chemicals has developed a groundbreaking technology for producing sustainable acrylonitrile, a critical raw material used in industries such as toys, automotive parts, aerospace components, medical supplies, and clothing. Corey Tyrie, CEO of Trillium Renewable Chemicals, stated, "We are thrilled that INEOS Nitriles' Green Lake facility, the largest acrylonitrile production plant in the U.S., will be the site for Project Falcon. This milestone is a significant step towards bringing our technology to market and producing sustainable bio-based acrylonitrile on a large scale." Following a $10.6 million Series A financing in December 2022 and a $2.5 million award from the Department of Energy's Advanced Manufacturing Office in June 2022, Trillium Renewable Chemicals built a pilot plant that successfully produced acrylonitrile from glycerin. Trillium's sustainable acrylonitrile boasts a lower carbon footprint compared to standard acrylonitrile produced via the Sohio propylene ammoxidation process. The company's innovative approach addresses the growing demand for more environmentally friendly bio-based raw materials. Trillium Renewable Chemicals continues to operate a pilot plant and has successfully provided samples to customers. Insights from the pilot operations have been invaluable for designing the new Project Falcon demonstration plant. Hans Casier, CEO of INEOS Nitriles, emphasized the importance of Trillium's decision: "INEOS Nitriles is excited to collaborate with Trillium Renewable Chemicals to advance the production of sustainable bio-based acrylonitrile. Our support for this project is part of our broader sustainability strategy and underscores our commitment, as the world's largest acrylonitrile producer, to reducing the industry's carbon footprint. We look forward to working closely with Trillium to achieve this goal." The operation of the Project Falcon demonstration plant will help validate the commercial-scale economics and product carbon footprint. The project is scheduled to start operations in early 2025 and continue through early 2026.

Trillium to Establish Bio-acrylonitrile Plant at INEOS Nitriles’ Texas Facility Trillium Renewable Chemicals (Trillium) announces the selection of INEOS Nitriles’ Green Lake facility in Port Lavaca, Texas to establish the world’s first demonstration plant for converting plant-based glycerol into acrylonitrile. The demonstration plant is named “Project Falcon.” Offering Lower Carbon Footprint than Standard Acrylonitrile: Trillium Renewable Chemicals has developed a groundbreaking technology for producing sustainable acrylonitrile, a key raw material in numerous industries, including toys, auto parts, aerospace components, medical supplies, and apparel. Selecting INEOS underscores Trillium's ambition to scale up its technology in an industrial environment to accelerate progress. “Trillium is thrilled that INEOS Nitriles Green Lake, home to America’s largest acrylonitrile production plant, will serve as the home for Project Falcon,” said Corey Tyree, CEO of Trillium Renewable Chemicals. “This milestone is a significant step forwards in bringing our technology to market and producing sustainable bio-based acrylonitrile at scale.” Following a $10.6M Series A financing round in December 2022 and $2.5 million award from the Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office in June 2022, Trillium constructed a pilot plant that successfully produced acrylonitrile from glycerol. Trillium’s sustainable acrylonitrile offers a lower carbon footprint than standard acrylonitrile based on the Sohio propylene process. The company’s innovative approach addresses growing customer demand for greener bio based raw materials. Project Falcon Operations to Begin in Early 2025 The ongoing operation of Trillium’s pilot plant progresses product sampling and customer validation, contributing valuable insights for the design of the Falcon plant, which is to operate at the INEOS Nitriles Green Lake site. Hans Casier, CEO of INEOS Nitriles, highlighted the significance of Trillium’s decision, “INEOS Nitriles is very pleased to be working with Trillium to advance technology for the production of sustainable bio-based acrylonitrile. Our support for this project, which is part of our wider sustainability strategy, emphasizes our commitment as the world’s largest producer of acrylonitrile, to reducing the carbon footprint of the industry. We look forward to working closely with Trillium to help achieve this objective.” The operation of Project Falcon will help to validate commercial-scale economics and product carbon footprint at scale. Emphasis will be placed on achieving process performance criteria such as plant uptime, demonstrating key equipment in its final form, and securing qualification as a supplier of bio-based acrylonitrile. Set to commence operations in early 2025, the project will run through early 2026. Source: INEOS/https://lnkd.in/g-_8ZKYX https://lnkd.in/gdVK5Pgh
