Trillium Renewable Chemicals is launched, focusing on creating chemicals from renewable feedstocks.
The company is a startup by the collaboration between Capricorn Partners and Southern Research.
Trillium aims to commercialize Southern Research’s converting technology for renewable feedstocks such as converting sugar or glycerol to chemical products including acrylonitrile, propylene glycol, and acrylic acid which are normally made of oil.
Capricorn Partners has invested from its Capricorn Sustainable Chemistry fund into Trillium. The proceedings will be used to scale up the manufacturing process of acrylonitrile and glycols.
