Solvay and Trillium Renewable Chemicals have signed a letter of intent to develop the supply chain for bio-based acrylonitrile (bio-ACN). Trillium will supply Solvay with bio-ACN from Trillium\u2019s planned commercial asset, and Solvay will evaluate bio-ACN for carbon fiber manufacturing as part of its long-term commitment to developing sustainable solutions from bio-based or recycled sources<\/a>. The aim of this partnership is to produce carbon fiber for use in various applications such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and consumer goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acrylonitrile is a chemical intermediate typically made from petroleum-based feedstocks like propylene and is the primary raw material used in the production of carbon fiber. Trillium\u2019s Bio-ACNTM process delivers acrylonitrile from plant-based feedstocks like glycerol with a lower carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be partnering with Trillium which aligns well with our Solvay One Planet commitment to more than double our revenue based on renewable or recycled materials by 2030,\u201d comments Stephen Heinz, head of composite research & innovation, Solvay. \u201cInnovation partnerships such as this are driven by a desire to make a real-world sustainability impact. Bio-based feedstocks are a key part of Solvay\u2019s sustainability strategy, and we look forward to being a consumer of bio-ACN from Trillium\u2019s first bio-based acrylonitrile plant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrillium\u2019s bio-ACN process technology enables bio-carbon fiber,\u201d explains Corey Tyree, CEO of Trillium. \u201cWe are excited to continue our partnership with Solvay, who have supported the bio-ACN process technology development since 2014. Solvay is a leader in the most rapidly-growing acrylonitrile segment (carbon fiber) and we are market leaders in bio-carbon fiber and sustainable development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Trillium Renewable Chemicals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trillium is replacing oil and gas with plant-based feedstocks in the manufacturing of green, drop-in molecules. Trillium has developed proprietary thermochemical technology to convert plant-based feedstocks like glycerol into valuable chemical intermediates (acrylonitrile and acetonitrile). Acrylonitrile is used to manufacture a wide-range of materials (e.g., acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) plastic, carbon fiber, acrylic fiber, nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), acrylamide, specialty amines). These materials have a wide range of end uses including aerospace, automotive, apparel, toys, energy, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, and wastewater treatment. As the worldwide demand for these chemicals increases, Trillium is providing a green alternative that reduces carbon emissions, improves safety, and offers customers competitive economics.
