Trillium Renewable Chemicals, Inc. is a company that is replacing oil and gas with plant-based feedstocks in the manufacturing of green, drop-in molecules. The company is based in Knoxville, TN and was founded by Corey Tyree, who has been the CEO since incorporation. The company has developed proprietary thermochemical technology to convert plant-based feedstocks like glycerol into valuable chemical intermediates such as acrylonitrile and acetonitrile.

Trillium is providing a green alternative to meet the increasing worldwide demand for these chemicals.
