Frontieras’ FASForm™ Virtual Tour Illustrates the Impact of Technological Innovation in the Energy Sector

Written by Matthew McKean, CEO and co-founder of Frontieras North America (LinkedIn)

A recent article in the Financial Times shared insight from Regina Mayor, Head of Energy at KPMG, as she called for the world to reject the International Energy Agency’s fossil fuel ban. Ms. Mayor shared that, the world needed to “juggle energy affordability with security, reliability, and sustainability, and companies should try to decarbonize while bringing new fossil fuel resources into production.”

The sentiment contained with Ms. Mayor’s statement aligns with and supports Frontieras’ mission to deliver available, abundant and affordable energy. Frontieras is preparing to break ground on its first FASForm™ plant in Mason County, West Virginia.

Built around its patented Solid Carbon Fractionation fuel-discovery technology, Frontieras’ FASForm plant (illustrated within the animated video) demonstrates Frontieras validated Zero Waste technology, and the significant positive outcomes realized when applying new technologies to readily available energy sources. Some examples of positive outcomes and yields include:

Outcomes

• Frontieras FASForm is the first technology that “fractionates” a solid hydrocarbon into liquid and gas fuels and a clean, low-sulfur technical carbon coke - known as FASCarbon™.

• Frontieras FASForm produces valuable gas products such as hydrogen and methane, as well as high-value liquid products such as naphtha, jet fuel and diesel.

• FASForm technology eliminates coal combustion globally with zero waste and low emissions.

Yields

• Frontieras FASForm produces 2.3 barrels of liquid fuels from each ton of coal processed.

• Frontieras’ closed-loop process produces over 20 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of hydrogen used to power the facility.

• Frontieras FASForm Plant will be the first plant powered by hydrogen in the United States.

• Frontieras FASForm produces FASCarbon, a virtually sulfur-free coal which functions as a replacement carbon for steel manufacturing and coal-fired plants that burns hotter, cleaner, and with lower emissions.

Frontieras’ FASForm plant deploys a continuous-feed refining process for coal and other solids that uses continuous heat and pressure to reform, refine, and liberate the constituents of solid carbonaceous materials containing volatile compounds.

By deconstructing the coal to its core elements, Frontieras removes nearly all sulfur, mercury, and arsenic, as well as moisture, which upgrades the thermal value of the final carbon product. In this process, FASForm extracts high value liquids and gases from solids (shown in video above), while also producing a purified solid carbon product known as FASCarbon.

Further, FASForm captures and repurposes those energy elements so no waste is emitted into the air, water, or soil. This process allows Frontieras to repurpose the captured violates, lower the carbon footprint, and reduce CO2 emissions.
