Upon completion late this year, the gasifier will be integrated with Rentech’s Product Demonstration Unit (PDU) to produce certified renewable synthetic jet and diesel fuels from cellulosic biomass feedstocks. These drop-in fuels are expected to qualify for renewable identification numbers (RINs) as cellulosic fuels.

Islands can be excellent places to promote clean energy. Because they are typically disconnected from both mainland grid infrastructure and sources of fossil fuels, it is easier for alternative sources of energy to gain a foothold. In fact, the cost of importing coal or oil to fuel power plants or vehicles can make fossil fuels vastly more.
