Rentech Building Coal-to-Liquids Development Unit

11 February 2007

Rentech, a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology company, is building a coal-to-liquids (CTL) Product Development Unit (PDU) at its facility near Denver.

Once in operation, the PDU plant will produce fuels and naphtha from various domestic coals, petroleum coke and biomass feedstocks on a demonstration scale, utilizing Rentech’s FT technology. The products from the PDU will then be used to supply test quantities of these fuels to groups which have expressed an interest in using the Rentech Process.

"... and biomass feedstocks"

I would much rather see them try to use waste plastic.
