"The company plans to move from its demonstration site in Rohnert Park to an undisclosed location. The move follows three months of intensifying public backlash against plans for a first-of-its-kind processing facility at its site in the mixed-use SOMO Village and greater scrutiny from regulators. CEO Brian Bauer said the move, announced in a Thursday morning news release, is driven by mounting regulatory hurdles here and a search for eased permitting and economic incentives elsewhere."
""We're not sharing yet where (the new site) is, due to ongoing permits and confidentiality, but it's an area ideal for industrial activity with strong zoning and tax benefits," Bauer said. The final site selection will be based on where the company secures permits fastest. For now, Bauer said Resynergi intends to follow through on its bid for permits in Rohnert Park, but company officials said that may change in coming weeks."
Resynergi Inc. is leaving its demonstration site in Rohnert Park and relocating to an undisclosed location because of mounting regulatory hurdles and a search for eased permitting and economic incentives. The company is withholding the new site location due to ongoing permits and confidentiality, and will choose the final site based on where permits are secured fastest. Resynergi currently intends to continue pursuing permits in Rohnert Park, though that may change. Since 2015 the company has developed a modular advanced microwave-assisted pyrolysis system to process over four tons of certain plastics daily into 69% pyrolysis oil, refinable into new plastic or fuel. The proposed project at SOMO Village has faced growing neighborhood opposition and heightened regulatory scrutiny, with critics calling the project chemical manufacturing while proponents describe it as plastics recycling; the project received an initial December 2024 city-level approval.
