Trillium Renewable Chemicals has chosen INEOS Nitriles' Green Lake facility in Texas to set up the world's first demonstration plant for sustainable acrylonitrile production. This innovative technology allows to convert plant-based glycerol into acrylonitrile. Starting operations in early 2025, the project is scheduled to run through early 2026. "INEOS Nitriles is very pleased to be working with Trillium to advance technology for the production of sustainable bio-based acrylonitrile. Our support of this project, which is part of our wider sustainability strategy, emphasises our commitment as the world’s largest producer of acrylonitrile, to reducing the carbon footprint of the industry," emphasizes Hans Casier, CEO of INEOS Nitriles.

With annual turnover of over $2.7bn and some 600 employees, INEOS Nitriles is the world's largest producer of acrylonitrile & acetonitrile. The chances are that acrylonitrile touches everyone in some way, every day. From the Acrylic Fibre of your bobble hat, to the ABS plastic of your TV, to the NBR hose on your car, none would exist without Acrylonitrile. More than 90% of acrylonitrile produced globally is based on INEOS technology. Our leadership in this product is based on our technological expertise and manufacturing capability. Our three manufacturing plants, two in North America (Texas & Ohio) and one in Europe (Germany), and terminals throughout the world facilitate our sales to customers in all regions globally. Green Lake in Texas is one of the largest and most efficient plants in the world. In addition, we recently announced a firm intent to form a 50/50 JV with Tianjin Bohai Chemical Industry Group Corporation to build a fifth plant world scale plant in China. We are widely viewed as the industry leader in HSE and regularly provide safety training seminars to customers and logistic service providers. Our dedication to safety, to environmental performance, and to growth is exemplified by continuous investment in our manufacturing and logistics operations over the past 50 years.
