ReSource Chemical

1450 Columbia Ct, Palo Alto, CA, 94304, United States

Overview

ReSource Chemical develops technology to make plastics and specialty chemicals without fossil fuels by converting renewable feedstocks (e.g., CO2, agricultural waste) into naturally occurring, high-performance molecules. Its flagship product is 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key building block for PEF, an alternative to PET. The company says it will use the new funding to build an integrated pilot plant for its FDCA process and to establish commercial production of other specialty chemical products using its technology portfolio. Led by CEO Aanindeeta Banerjee, ReSource emphasizes a platform approach that targets replacing traditional petrochemicals. Financially, the company has raised more than $25 million to date, including $8.9 million in non-dilutive funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.
