Rentech moves back timetable for East Dubuque project

NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) - Officials with Rentech Incorporated are pushing back the timetable for work on an Illinois coal-to-oil plant to speed up work on a smaller facility.

Rentech project manager Joe Regnery says oil production should begin at the plant in Natchez, Mississippi, in 2011 instead of 2012.

Originally, Rentech was first going to convert a natural gas-fed fertilizer plant in East Dubuque, Illinois, by the end of 2009 or 2010. Production would have started at 920 tons of fertilizer and 1,800 barrels of diesel a day.

However, Regnery says the Natchez plant will now be built first because it will be smaller and require less equipment.

He says Rentech had expected to spend $900 million to convert the Illinois plant. The expenses included installing a system to handle the vast amounts of carbon dioxide that are a byproduct.
