Our vision here at Rentech®, which stands for Renewable Energy Technologies, is to be a global provider of clean energy solutions. We strive to deliver solutions to our customers and licensees that will help enable countries to effectively address national energy security issues, rising long-term demand for fuels and electric power and limited domestic petroleum refining capacity while lowering their emissions profiles.

We are developing and licensing our clean energy technologies for ultra-clean synthetic fuels, chemicals and power production. We are pursuing the worldwide deployment of our patented and proprietary Rentech-SilvaGas biomass gasification technology as well as our patented Rentech Process. Together with gasification and upgrading technologies, the Rentech Process can economically produce ultra-clean synthetic fuels such as military and commercial jet fuels and ultra low sulfur diesel as well as specialty waxes and chemicals from a wide variety of waste, biomass and fossil resources.

We also own one of the few remaining U.S. ammonia fertilizer production facilities, Rentech Energy Midwest Corporation (REMC). REMC is a major supplier of nitrogen products to the agricultural and industrial markets in the upper Midwest.

Our process produces biodegradable RenJet® and RenDiesel® transportation fuels that are cleaner burning than petroleum-derived fuels and either meet or exceed all applicable fuels and environmental standards. In addition, with carbon capture and sequestration, the carbon dioxide emissions from the production of synthetic fuels from the Rentech Process are substantially lower than those generated in the production of petroleum-derived fuels. Therefore, fuels produced from our process are among the most greenhouse gas friendly transportation fuels available.

Unlike some other alternative fuels, fuels produced from our process can be used and distributed without modifications to existing diesel or jet engines or pipelines. In addition, fuels produced from the Fischer-Tropsch process, on which our technology is based, are currently the only synthetic fuel type certified for use by the United States Air Force. These fuels are also the only synthetic fuel type in the process of receiving formal certification by the Federal Aviation Administration for use in commercial aircraft.
