Los Angeles-Rentech Inc. said June 4 that it has completed the purchase of approximately 450 acres in Adams County, Mississippi, near the city of Natchez. Rentech intends to build its Rentech Strategic Fuels and Chemicals Center at the site. The facility will produce Rentech’s ultra-clean synthetic transportation fuels and specialty waxes and chemicals. Rentech says the site provides a competitive advantage because of its access to multiple feedstocks and several product distribution channels, including a CO(2) pipeline that services enhanced oil recovery in the region. Rentech has received local and state support for this project, including the land purchase and the recent allocation approval of $175 million in tax-exempt GO ZONE bonds.
