Rennovia Inc. is a Santa Clara, California-based specialty chemical firm focused on creating cost-effective processes to make chemicals from renewable feedstocks. Founded in 2009, the company aims to convert biorenewable feedstocks into established chemicals. Its stated targets include biobased glucaric acid, adipic acid, 1,6-hexanediol, and hexamethylenediamine, among other building blocks for functional materials. To do so, Rennovia adapts catalytic processes from refining and chemical industries for renewable feedstock conversion. The company targets production of high-value chemicals with established, multi-billion dollar markets, aiming to replace petroleum-derived production with renewables at lower cost and with a smaller carbon footprint. With a very small team, Rennovia operates in the renewable energy and chemical manufacturing space.
