Renewable synthetic fuels - Rialto project

Here is an overview of the Rialto project by Rentech, a global provider of clean energy solutions which has planned to build a plant in Rialto. It expects to produce 600 barrels of renewable synthetic fuels from waste biomass feedstock as well as export 35 megawatts of renewable electric power.

The primary feedstock for the Rialto Project will be urban woody green waste such as yard clippings. The location of the project will provide local green waste haulers with a cost-effective alternative to increasingly scarce landfills for the disposal of woody green waste. This renewable synthetic fuel expected to heat around 30,000 homes emits less noxious substances, burns cleanly and therefore it will meet all the applicable fuel standards as well.

The conditioned syngas will be converted to an ultra-clean product such as synthetic diesel Renewable electric power will be produced at the facility by using conventional high-efficiency gas turbine technology. Construction of the Rialto project expects to create approximately 250 jobs with at least 55 permanent jobs during operation.
