(Amex: RTK - News) announced today that Hunt Ramsbottom, the Company's president and CEO has been invited to testify to the United States Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources on April 24, 2006. Mr. Ramsbottom has been asked to give testimony to the Committee regarding the commercialization of coal-to-liquids (CTL) technology in the United States and the ultra-clean fuels it produces.

When Mr. Ramsbottom's testimony becomes available, it will be posted on the Company's website at www.rentechinc.com. About Rentech, Inc.
