What Resynergi does

Resynergi, Inc. is a U.S.-based climate technology company founded in 2015 that commercializes Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (CMAP), a patented oxygen-free thermal decomposition process invented at the University of Minnesota and exclusively assigned to the company in 2017. Its core product, the AMP (Advanced Microwave Pyrolysis) Module, is a preassembled 5 ton-per-day unit that converts hard-to-recycle plastics (HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS) — including mixed, colored, contaminated, and multi-layer streams that mechanical recycling cannot handle — into PyOil, a liquid hydrocarbon qualified as drop-in feedstock for petrochemical production with a reported 68% lower carbon footprint than virgin crude oil. Each module occupies roughly 440 square feet, is self-powered using syn-gas generated by the process, and can be deployed near waste-generation sites; commercial sites scale by adding modules (four modules form a 20 TPD site, with stated scalability to 50+ TPD), and the system carries Class 1/Division 2 certification with third-party emissions and safety validation from Intertek and an OSHA-approved NRTL.

Resynergi monetizes through three revenue streams: (1) hardware sales of AMP Modules, manufactured, warranted, and sold by channel partner Lummus Technology under multi-year contracts to operators with steady plastic volumes; (2) sale of PyOil to petrochemical producers, polymer manufacturers, and refining partners as circular feedstock under mass-balance accounting; and (3) a managed-services / Cartridge System offering in which Resynergi handles all operations while customers simply feed waste into the shredder on a pay-as-you-go basis. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting material recovery facilities, manufacturers, distribution centers, medical facilities, consumer brands, and municipal entities with continuous plastic waste streams; the company has named a Fortune 100 Chemical Company as its first commercial customer and a Big Six Supermajor as the recipient of its first PyOil shipment.

The company is venture-backed, having raised approximately $24.4 million in disclosed funding (a $6.4M Series B in January 2024 co-led by Transitions First and Lummus Technology, plus an $18M Series B extension in February 2025 led by Taranis Carbon Ventures, the investment arm of Perenco Group), with an additional $13.0M raise in December 2025. Operations are led by co-founder and CEO Brian Bauer (Stanford BS, Mechanical Engineering) alongside CFO/COO Jens Umehag (formerly CFO of BP Renewables and BP Norge) and a board that includes senior strategy leadership from Lummus and Taranis. The first 5 TPD commercial facility is under construction on Lummus's Texas campus, the company has accumulated 10,000+ hours of production across multi-day continuous runs, and Resynergi is reported as 'highly likely' to relocate from California following community opposition and litigation at its Rohnert Park headquarters.

Revenue model

1. AMP Module Sales: Sale of Advanced Microwave Pyrolysis (AMP) Modules manufactured and sold through Lummus Technology. Each 5-ton-per-day module produces approximately 1,000 gallons of PyOil daily. Operators with steady plastic volume purchase modules for ownership and upside.
2. PyOil Sales: Resynergi converts customer plastic waste into PyOil which is sold to petrochemical producers, polymer manufacturers, and refining partners as circular feedstock for new plastic production. PyOil is stored in industry-standard tanks and sold into established supply chains.
3. Partnership/Processing Services: For customers who want frictionless alternatives to landfill, Resynergi handles everything from plastic intake to PyOil production. Customers 'just fill the shredder' while Resynergi manages operations, processing waste into valuable PyOil revenue stream for the customer.

Core offering

Resynergi designs, develops, and commercializes the AMP (Advanced Microwave Pyrolysis) Module — a modular, preassembled 5-ton-per-day plastic recycling unit that uses proprietary Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (CMAP) technology to convert hard-to-recycle plastics (HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS) into PyOil, a liquid hydrocarbon drop-in feedstock for new plastic production. Modules are manufactured and warranted by channel partner Lummus Technology; four modules form a 20-TPD commercial site, scalable to 50+ TPD. Resynergi also sells the resulting PyOil to petrochemical producers and offers a managed-service Cartridge System where the company operates the unit end-to-end.

Product overview

Resynergi's product portfolio centers on the AMP (Advanced Microwave Pyrolysis) Module system — a modular plastic recycling technology platform that converts traditionally hard-to-recycle plastic waste into valuable PyOil. The core offering consists of individual AMP Modules (5 tons/day capacity each), which can be scaled by combining multiple units into commercial facilities. The company also offers a Cartridge System service model for customers wanting a frictionless option. The key technology underpinning all products is the proprietary CMAP (Continuous Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis) technology, manufactured and warranted by Lummus Technology. The modular design enables deployment closer to waste generation sites, reducing transportation costs and logistics complexity.

Direct peers

• Agilyx: Agilyx operates chemical recycling of mixed waste plastics into crude-like oils via pyrolysis, including modular Cyculus units. Direct competitor targeting the same plastic-to-feedstock value chain as Resynergi's CMAP/AMP platform.
• Plastic Energy: Plastic Energy runs thermal anaerobic pyrolysis plants converting hard-to-recycle plastics into TACOIL, a feedstock sold to petrochemical producers for new plastic. Closest functional analog to Resynergi's PyOil model.
• Brightmark Energy: Brightmark's plastics renewal technology uses pyrolysis to convert post-use plastics into feedstock for new plastics and fuels, competing head-to-head with Resynergi in advanced/chemical recycling of hard-to-recycle streams.
• Mura Technology: Mura develops hydrothermal advanced recycling (Cat-HTR) to convert mixed plastics into circular feedstocks. Direct competitor addressing the same hard-to-recycle plastic problem with a different thermal route than Resynergi's microwave pyrolysis.
• GreenMantra Technologies: GreenMantra uses a proprietary catalytic pyrolysis process to convert recycled plastics into specialty polymers and waxes. Direct peer in plastic pyrolysis, albeit focused on higher-value specialty outputs versus commodity PyOil.
• New Energy Blue: New Energy Blue converts agricultural residue and plastics into cellulosic sugars and renewable fuels/chemicals via thermal conversion. Relevant peer for pyrolysis-based conversion of waste streams into hydrocarbon feedstocks.
• Encina (formerly E.T. Global Energy): Encina produces circular chemicals and fuels from hard-to-recycle plastics through a pyrolysis-based process. Direct competitor in the chemical/advanced recycling of mixed plastic waste into feedstock.

Broad incumbents

• Eastman Chemical: Eastman is a large specialty chemical company pursuing molecular recycling via methanolysis for polyester waste (PRM technology). Competes in advanced/chemical recycling but as part of a much broader chemicals portfolio.
• ExxonMobil (chemical recycling): ExxonMobil has invested in advanced recycling of plastic waste at Baytown and other facilities using pyrolysis to produce circular feedstocks. A major integrated incumbent with deep petrochemical reach into Resynergi's buyer base.

Emerging players

• Carbios: Carbios develops enzymatic recycling of PET plastics into monomers for repolymerization. Competes in advanced plastic recycling for circular feedstock, though via biorecycling rather than pyrolysis; relevant for understanding competing circular pathways.
