DALLAS and NEW YORK, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Frontier Infrastructure Holdings (Frontier), a leading developer of low-carbon infrastructure across the Mountain West and Texas, today announced a significant offtake agreement with Wild Assets, a first-of-its-kind global asset manager for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). The agreement secures the purchase of up to 120,000 tonnes of high-permanence CDR credits generated through Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS).

Frontier, a portfolio company of Tailwater Capital LLC ("Tailwater"), a private equity firm specializing in energy and environmental infrastructure will produce these credits by capturing biogenic CO₂ emissions from ethanol refineries. Utilizing a CO₂-by-rail logistics model in partnership with a major railroad operator, the captured carbon will be transported to the company's Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub in southwestern Wyoming for permanent geologic sequestration.

"We are proud to partner with Wild Assets, an innovative organization that recognizes the critical need for scalable and permanent carbon removal," said Steven Lowenthal, Co-CEO of Frontier. "This agreement validates our strategy to lead in CO₂-by-rail logistics and invest in the infrastructure required for durable carbon storage. By targeting emissions from key industries like ethanol production, we're providing the market with reliable, high-integrity carbon credits."

This agreement represents a major advancement in the voluntary carbon market, highlighting growing demand for verifiable, durable removals that meet rigorous environmental and permanence standards. The rail-based model offers a crucial alternative to pipeline transport, helping navigate complex permitting challenges while linking distributed emission sources to large-scale sequestration hubs.

"Our confidence in Frontier's CDR projects stems from their thoughtful engineering, elegant design, commitment to Puro's stringent standards, and their strategic role in the energy value chain, where BECCS enables real decarbonization," said Matan Rudis, Partner at Wild Assets. "This makes Frontier's credits highly competitive, scalable, and dependable—an attractive proposition for climate-focused investors."

This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for durable carbon removals and underscores BECCS as a cornerstone technology in the global effort to address climate change.
