Existing products. Decreased cost of production.
Reduced feedstock volatility.

Rennovia is targeting production of high-value chemical products with established, multi-billion dollar markets. Our goal is to produce the same chemicals that are currently produced from petroleum, but to do so from renewable feedstocks at lower cost, with lower feedstock volatility, and by employing sustainable, low-carbon footprint, environmentally-friendly process technologies. Rennovia's first products are adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine (HMD), two important building blocks for a wide range of functional materials including nylons and polyurethanes. These materials are high-performance components of a wide variety of consumer end products including carpets, automotive parts, furniture, apparel, footwear, luggage, adhesives, and coatings.

The combination of Rennovia's bio-based adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine (HMD) enables the production of 100% bio-based nylon-6,6. Nylon 6,6 is used extensively in automotive applications, where it is especially prized for its heat resistance, enabling under-the-hood applications. Nylon 6,6 is also widely used in fiber applications, including textiles, carpet, technical fiber, and tire cord. Rennovia is targeting the production of drop-in bio based replacements for existing petrochemical-based adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine (HMD) with identical downstream performance and characteristics in all market applications. Supplying our customers with existing chemicals, renewably-derived, will help meet consumer demand for green products with minimum new product qualification. Importantly, Rennovia intends to utilize readily available biorenewable feedstocks that are used today primarily for the production of high fructose corn syrup, which is already declining in use in the U.S., and intends to be able to utilize cellulosic sugars when they become available at scale.
