Frontier Carbon by Rail revolutionizes how captured CO₂ is transported for permanent sequestration. In partnership with Union Pacific, we leverage the extensive rail infrastructure of the Mountain West to provide a scalable, flexible solution for industrial emitters to reduce their carbon footprint efficiently and effectively. Our innovative approach connects emitters from across the U.S. Midwest and Mountain West to state-of-the-art carbon storage hubs, such as our SCS Hub.
With Union Pacific’s unmatched expertise in rail logistics and Frontier’s commitment to advanced technology and seamless carbon management, Carbon by Rail offers a critical pathway for industries to meet decarbonization goals while creating long-term environmental and economic benefits for the region.
Frontier Carbon by Rail enables the safe and efficient transport of captured CO₂ from industrial facilities to permanent storage sites. CO₂ is captured, liquefied, and loaded into specialized insulated railcars, ensuring safety and reliability throughout transit. Upon arrival, the CO₂ is injected into deep geologic formations for secure, long-term storage.
At Frontier, we pair this process with rigorous monitoring and verification systems, ensuring that every step meets the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility.
The Granger Carbon Terminal is the world’s first large-scale rail-to-sequestration offloading facility, capable of handling up to 500,000 tons of CO₂ annually. Located in southwestern Wyoming, this facility connects emitters from across the Mountain West and Midwest to secure storage sites like our SCS Hub.
Frontier’s rail-to-sequestration infrastructure is designed to extend the reach of carbon capture projects across the Mountain West and Midwest, making it possible for emitters to access permanent storage without relying solely on pipelines.
Utilizing Union Pacific’s rail network, Carbon by Rail minimizes the need for extensive pipeline development, offering an environmentally responsible and cost-effective alternative for CO₂ transport. Rail transport reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75% compared to trucks, further enhancing its sustainability.
Our projects, including the SCS Hub, are backed by rigorous verification processes to ensure environmental integrity. Partnerships with organizations like EcoEngineers ensure that our carbon management solutions deliver measurable, high-quality results.
