Frontieras, Western Fuels to build coal processing facility at Dry Fork mine in Wyoming
Under the MOU, FASCarbon produced at the Wyoming facility could be railed to Western Fuels Association's member utilities.
Frontieras North America and Western Fuels have formed a partnership to develop a coal processing facility near the Dry Fork mine in Wyoming. The Dry Fork mine, located eight miles north of Gillette in the Powder River Basin, is owned and operated by Western Fuels. The agreement outlines a framework for negotiating long-term contracts for a ground lease, coal feedstock supply, a diesel off-take agreement, and a logistics arrangement.
Frontieras' technology, known as FASForm, processes coal into clean solid carbon, ultra-low-sulfur diesel, naphtha, and other high-value products, without burning coal. The new facility could supply the region's coal-fired utilities and potentially international markets, making Western Fuels and Frontieras a new global supplier.
Wyoming, the nation's largest coal-producing state, provides an ideal location for scaling the FASForm technology, both as standalone facilities and through Western Fuels' co-location platform, FASGEN. The partnership aims to leverage Wyoming's abundant coal resources to create a new global supplier and serve the growing demand for coal in US data centers and industrial sectors.
