Origin Materials Canada Polyesters Limited (OMC), is a Canadian entity of Origin Materials based in Sacramento, California. Origin Materials, founded in 2008, is the world's leading carbon-negative materials company with a mission to enable the world's transition to sustainable materials. In 2017, OMC began operating a research and development pilot plant in Sarnia, Ontario, and began construction of a first-of-a-kind demonstration-scale facility (OM1) that will generate thousands of tons of materials.To reduce and solve the emission problems from the creation of materials, any new product must be carbon-negative, flexible enough to transform many industries, and economically sustainable. Origin's carbon-efficient, patented process converts C-6 cellulose in biomass into two major co-products: chloromethyl furfural (CMF) and hydrothermal carbon (HTC). The main objective of this project with Lambton College will provide analytical support to the current and future operations at OMC's pilot plant. The pilot plant has a focus on the research and development of intermediate products such as terephthalic acid (TA) and Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA). Origin will produce TA using their proprietary technology, and production of FDCA from TA by Origin is experimental and feedback from the analyses done in this project will heavily support the research and development of this material. The production of high-quality FDCA would allow Origin to bring new material to the market; it can be sold as-is to future clients for use as surfactants and epoxy resins, combined with TA to produce a 100% bio-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or it could undergo polymerization to create polyethylene furanoate (PEF). This collaboration will improve data processing time by providing analytical data with a quick turnaround. This data will help inform the various conditions of the chemical reactions. The increased speed of obtaining analytic data will significantly reduce the cost to the company and shorten the timeline for commercialization. Ensuring a high-quality product is being created at both OMC locations will help Origin to attract new clients and secure job creation. It will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Origin projects to generate $60M USD of revenue in 2023 and $120M USD in revenue in 2024.

原始材料加拿大聚酯有限公司(OMC)是一家总部位于加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托的加拿大原始材料实体。Origin Material成立于2008年，是世界领先的碳负材料公司，其使命是使世界向可持续材料过渡。2017年，OMC开始在安大略省萨尼亚运营一家研发试点工厂，并开始建设首个此类示范规模的设施(OM1)，该设施将产生数千吨材料。为了减少和解决材料创造的排放问题，任何新产品都必须是碳负的，足够灵活，足以改变许多行业，并且在经济上可持续。Origin的碳高效专利工艺将生物质中的C-6纤维素转化为两种主要的副产品：氯甲基糠醛(CMF)和水热碳(HTC)。与兰伯顿学院合作的这一项目的主要目标将为OMC试点工厂目前和未来的运营提供分析支持。中试工厂的重点是研发中间产品，如对苯二甲酸(TA)和呋喃二酸(FDCA)。Origin将使用他们的专有技术生产TA，Origin从TA生产FDCA是试验性的，该项目中所做分析的反馈将大力支持这种材料的研究和开发。生产高质量的FDCA将使Origin将新材料推向市场；它可以按原样出售给未来的客户用作表面活性剂和环氧树脂，与TA结合生产100%生物基聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)，或者它可以通过聚合生成呋喃甲酸乙二醇酯(PEF)。这种协作将通过提供快速周转的分析数据来缩短数据处理时间。这些数据将有助于了解化学反应的各种条件。分析数据获取速度的提高将大大降低公司的成本，缩短商业化的时间线。确保在两个OMC地点都创造出高质量的产品，将有助于Origin吸引新客户并确保创造就业机会。它还将减少温室气体排放。Origin预计2023年将产生6000万美元的收入，2024年将产生1.2亿美元的收入。
