Frontier has partnered with Arbor Energy to eliminate 116,000 tons of carbon dioxide by financing a $41 million biomass-powered plant. This facility in Louisiana will generate electricity for a data center and sequester CO2 underground via pipeline. The technology, Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS), enables the dual production of carbon-free energy and carbon removals. The plant will undergo innovative processes, including transforming biomass into syngas. This unique method of utilizing supercritical CO2 allows for efficient energy production and CO2 capture.
"We are able to market it as two products," Arbor co-founder and CEO Brad Hartwig told TechCrunch. "We're selling carbon-free base load energy as well as net [carbon] removals."
"One of the great things about BiCRS is that you get the capture part for free because plants are drawing down the CO 2, and all you have to do is strip it out in and store it," Hannah Bebbington, head of deployment at Frontier, told TechCrunch.
