Rentech: Homegrown Synthetic Fuel On the Near Horizon 24 comments by: Ockham Research August 08, 2008 | about: RTK Link to article
Is there anything more pressing on the minds of American’s right now than the high cost of energy? What if I told you that there was a company that has successfully produced usable synthetic fuel right here in the United States, would anyone be interested? In a press release today, a small company named Rentech (RTK) has produced what it has termed “ultra clean” synthetic fuels at its Colorado facility. This has the potential to be an enormous breakthrough as a large portion of this fuel has been made from liquefied coal—which the United States has in great abundance. The technological implications are awesome and this is exactly the kind of innovation that high energy prices can spur. [more]
