Rentech Takes 25% Stake in Biomass Gasification Company

Green Car Congress

The ClearFuels technology can convert multiple cellulosic biomass feedstocks such as sugarcane bagasse and virgin wood waste into clean synthesis gas (syngas) suitable for integration with synthetic gas-to-liquids technologies. This joint demonstration is anticipated to lead to the final design basis for the commercial facilities.
