Higher Performance, Carbon Negative Plastics, Maybe for Less: The Digest’s 2021 Multi-Slide Guide to ReSource Chemical

Here’s the development slide — some excellent awards picked up for development — SBIR, ARPA-E, DOE. Looks like the company is raising or will raise a seed round. Ought to be strong interest in that. Pilot plant and commercialization to follow on rapidly in the 2020s. One hopes that the process optimization period will indeed be complete by next year, and that the company will be able to utilize pilot equipment already extant for its integrated pilot stage, to save time and money from the Series A investing round. The company mentions JV or licensing as models. Our guess is that a world changing technology owned by a small company would find a strategic buyer and exit that way — JVs are tough, ask Avantium. Licenses are tough ways to make serious money for stand-alone companies.
