Project Sprint

Under Development

Project Operator: Frontier Carbon Solutions

Team: Pawan Gupta

Location: Granger, WY

Frontier Carbon Solutions (Frontier) is leading the decarbonization of the agricultural industry by partnering to provide carbon management services to numerous refineries across the Midwestern United States. Frontier will utilize liquefaction capture technology, an efficient process to separate high-purity (>90%) CO2 exhaust from fermenters, to capture over 400,000 tons per annum of CO2. Once the CO2 is converted into a liquid, Frontier will leverage existing rail infrastructure to transport these emissions to Granger Carbon Terminal, a dedicated CO2 rail offload facility being developed by Frontier. From the terminal, the CO2 is injected into Frontier-owned pipeline, where it is transported approximately two miles to the injection site for permanent sequestration. This project represents one of the only viable opportunities to move megatons of CO2 interstate for storage prior to 2030. Our approach is collaborative, highly scalable, and near-term. Frontier will minimize newbuild construction and extensive environmental disruption to local landowners and farmers by leveraging the United States’ existing rail infrastructure and can provide the only option for decarbonization for many biogenic sources of CO2. This project is additional, and we will require CDR to continue our progress. For more information, please reach out to Pawan Gupta at pgupta@frontierccus.com

Project's Financial Additionality
The project needs carbon financing to be viable. Operating expenses include rail freight, liquefaction operations and maintenance (O&M), downstream transloading O&M, railcar procurement, and storage/monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) costs. Capital expenses will include liquefaction installation and onramp site modifications, exceeding Sections 45Q and/or 45Z federal tax credits.
Additionality
The project is not a common practice. Out of 130 carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in operation or under development in the U.S., only four renewable refinery CCS projects are in operation. The project is also not legally required to occur, and there are no signs the U.S. Government will mandate CCS from renewable refinery activities for the foreseeable future.
