Low-carbon infrastructure developer Frontier Infrastructure has secured a deal to market 750,000 carbon removal credits from its ethanol bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) project, in what the companies say is the largest agreement of its kind to date.
Frontier has teamed up with carbon removal business Carbonfuture on the initiative, under a multi-year commercial agreement to market the credits to corporate and institutional buyers.
These credits will come from Frontier’s Project Sprint, an ethanol-based BECCS project that will capture biogenic CO2 from ethanol production and sequester it in dedicated geological storage in Wyoming.
Sequestration of biogenic CO2 is expected to begin in Q4 2027.
Captured CO2 from the project will be moved via Frontier’s CO2-by-rail platform, which connects ethanol producers across the Midwest to Frontier’s sequestration infrastructure.
The platform is designed to allow producers to access carbon removal markets without waiting for new CO2 pipeline infrastructure.
Steven Lowenthal, co-CEO of Frontier, said the partnership marked an important step in the company’s CO2-by-rail initiative.
Carbon removal credits are certifications that represent verified quantities of carbon dioxide permanently removed from the atmosphere.
Companies can purchase these credits to offset emissions they cannot eliminate directly, helping them meet climate targets.
