Feedstock

Synthetic fuels and chemicals facilities utilizing the Rentech Process can produce high value, ultra-clean diesel, jet fuel, chemicals and specialty waxes originating from any carbon bearing material or feedstock. As described below, these feedstocks are domestic, under-utilized, relatively inexpensive and do not affect the food supply.

Together with gasification and upgrading technologies, the Rentech Process can convert biomass and fossil resources as well as waste materials into high quality ultra-clean synthetic fuels and chemicals.

Our technology can use syngas produced from biomass feedstocks such as forestry waste (bark, branches, waste wood, sawdust and stumps), agricultural waste (corn stover, straw and bagasse), green waste (lawn and tree clippings), algae and energy crops. The Rentech Process can also process syngas from fossil feedstocks such as petroleum coke, lignite, coal and natural gas for the production of ultra-clean synthetic fuels and chemicals.

The wide variety of feedstocks listed here is a testament to the flexibility and versatility of the Rentech Process. We believe our technology enables our products to help address a multitude of environmental issues from lowering greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants to reducing the necessity to open additional landfills. Moreover, we believe the ability to use such a wide array of resources will enable us to deliver products which have a carbon-neutral or carbon-negative footprint.
