Rentech, Inc. (AMEX: RTK) announced today that ASTM International's full governance committee has unanimously approved modifying the specifications for commercial aviation jet fuel to include up to a 50/50 blend of synthetic Fischer-Tropsch jet fuel. The jet fuel certified by the Federal Aviation Administration for use in commercial aircraft relies on ASTM's specifications. Rentech's jet fuel, RenJet(R), qualifies under the approved specifications of synthetic jet fuel.
With the ASTM specifications, fuel derived using the Fischer-Tropsch process, including RenJet(R) produced from renewable or fossil feedstocks, is the first and currently only alternative jet fuel certified for use by the FAA. Rentech currently produces jet fuel at its Product Demonstration Unit that, when blended with petroleum-derived fuel, meets the ASTM International specifications. RenJet(R) is biodegradable, clean burning and virtually free of particulates, sulfur and aromatics.
