Frontier Infrastructure, in Collaboration with Gevo and Verity, Launches Complete Carbon Management Platform for Ethanol Industry
Frontier Infrastructure has partnered with Gevo (NASDAQ:GEVO) and its Verity platform to launch North America's first fully integrated carbon management platform for ethanol producers. The collaboration combines rail transportation, permanent sequestration, and digital carbon tracking to accelerate decarbonization in the ethanol industry.
The platform leverages Frontier's Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub in Wyoming, featuring the nation's deepest Class VI carbon storage well and nearly 100,000 acres of pore space. The initiative targets over 200 ethanol facilities across North America, which produce approximately 70 million tons of high-purity CO₂ annually. The Granger Carbon Terminal (GCT) will be operational by 2027, handling 500,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually, with expansion capability up to 2 million tons.
Frontier Infrastructure ha stretto una partnership con Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO) e la sua piattaforma Verity per lanciare la prima piattaforma completamente integrata di gestione del carbonio per i produttori di etanolo in Nord America. La collaborazione combina trasporto ferroviario, sequestro permanente e monitoraggio digitale del carbonio per accelerare la decarbonizzazione dell’industria dell’etanolo.
La piattaforma sfrutta l'Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub di Frontier nello Wyoming, che ospita il pozzo di stoccaggio di carbonio di Classe VI più profondo del paese e quasi 100.000 acri di spazio poroso. L’iniziativa mira a oltre 200 impianti di etanolo in Nord America, che producono circa 70 milioni di tonnellate di CO2 ad alta purezza all’anno. Il Granger Carbon Terminal (GCT) sarà operativo entro il 2027, gestirà 500.000 tonnellate metriche di CO2 all’anno, con possibilità di espansione fino a 2 milioni di tonnellate.

The addressable market is substantial - targeting over 200 ethanol facilities producing approximately
Frontier's Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub in Wyoming, featuring the nation's deepest Class VI carbon storage well and nearly 100,000 acres of pore space, provides the essential sequestration infrastructure. The Granger Carbon Terminal's Phase I will process 500,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually by 2027, with expansion capacity up to 2 million tons.
For Gevo, this partnership enhances both its BECCS (bioenergy carbon capture and storage) capabilities and its Verity tracking platform's market penetration. The integration creates a comprehensive offering that helps ethanol producers secure premium low-carbon fuel contracts - particularly crucial as regulatory and market demands for carbon reduction increase. Securing Midwest Renewable Energy as an anchor client demonstrates immediate market validation.
First-of-its-kind solution combines rail transportation, permanent sequestration, and digital carbon tracking to accelerate decarbonization
This partnership leverages Frontier's Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub in Wyoming—with the nation's deepest Class VI carbon storage well and nearly 100,000 acres of pore space—alongside Gevo's proven bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) expertise and its Verity digital tracking platform. Together with Union Pacific Railroad's CO₂ transportation network, the platform offers ethanol producers immediate access to carbon management infrastructure without pipeline dependencies.
"Our collaboration with Gevo and Verity eliminates the primary barriers facing ethanol producers in carbon management," said Steven Lowenthal, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Frontier Infrastructure. "By combining rail flexibility with proven sequestration and transparent tracking, we're enabling facilities to start capturing value from their CO₂ streams within 24 months rather than waiting years for alternate approaches."
Market Opportunity
The partnership targets over 200 ethanol facilities across
Notice to Proceed: Granger Carbon Terminal (GCT)
In parallel with this announcement, Frontier has issued a formal Notice to Proceed on the Granger Carbon Terminal ("GCT")—a critical CO₂ transload facility connecting rail and truck deliveries to the Sweetwater Hub's injection infrastructure. Phase I of GCT, operational by 2027, will handle 500,000 metric tons of CO₂, annually, with expansion capability up to 2 million tons based on demand.
By leveraging Frontier's existing infrastructure and its partnership with Union Pacific Railroad, the GCT facility will serve as a the hub for Frontier's "Stack to Sequestration" CO2-by-rail solution. Initial anchor commitments have been secured from leading ethanol producers, including Midwestern Renewable Energy, an existing Verity client.
"This partnership fundamentally changes the economics and timeline for carbon management in the ethanol industry," said Jim Jandain, CEO of Midwest Renewable Energy. "Having rail transportation, permanent sequestration, and Verity's digital verification in one integrated solution means we can move from decision to implementation in under 24 months. For MRE, this is about securing our position in the low-carbon fuel market while that window is still open."
