About the company
What they build and who they serve.
Trillium Renewable Chemicals is a Knoxville-based bio-based chemical manufacturer using proprietary thermochemical technology to convert plant feedstocks like glycerol into drop-in acrylonitrile and acetonitrile, replacing fossil-derived chemistry. Its tech targets a >6 million metric ton global acrylonitrile market that today is almost entirely petrochemical, supplying carbon fiber, ABS plastic, acrylic fiber and nitrile rubber supply chains. The company operates Project Falcon, the first industrial-scale demonstration plant for bio-based acrylonitrile, hosted at INEOS Nitriles' Green Lake site in Texas.

Why it matters
Signals from funding, traction, and product direction.
- Capital follows a $10.6M Series A and a non-dilutive $2.5M U.S. Department of Energy award, bringing disclosed cumulative funding to roughly $26M.
- Project Falcon — built at INEOS Nitriles' Green Lake facility in Texas — is the world's first industrial-scale demonstration plant for 100% bio-based acrylonitrile; construction is complete with commissioning scheduled for Q2 2026 and product shipments later in 2026.
- Lead investor HS Hyosung Advanced Materials is a Korean carbon fiber and industrial materials maker — a downstream acrylonitrile consumer — making this a strategic offtake-aligned round, not a financial-only deal.
- Use of proceeds: operating Project Falcon, continued pilot-scale R&D, and advanced engineering design of the first commercial-scale plant.
