In Texas, Frontier Infrastructure Holdings LLC, a portfolio company of Tailwater Capital and a leading developer of low-carbon infrastructure across the Mountain West and Texas, announced a strategic partnership with Gevo, Inc. and its Verity platform to deliver North America’s first fully integrated carbon management platform for ethanol producers. The collaboration provides end-to-end solutions from carbon capture through permanent sequestration and carbon dioxide removal and tax credit monetization.
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.
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.
