Frontieras North America announced it will host a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. ET for its first commercial FASForm(TM) facility in Mason County, West Virginia. The event will be broadcast via livestream from Point Pleasant, allowing remote audiences to participate. Company leadership and government officials are scheduled to deliver remarks at the ceremony.
The project represents an estimated $850 million investment and is expected to create approximately 300 full-time jobs and 2,000 construction roles. The facility will commercialize Frontieras' patented FASForm(TM) solid carbon fractionation technology, which the company says redefines how coal is utilized by producing market-ready fuels, fertilizers, and industrial carbon with zero waste.
Frontieras, a clean hydrocarbon technology company, holds global patent protection for its FASForm(TM) process and is focused on a commercialization roadmap centered on Appalachia. The company positions itself to lead a modern energy revival from the coalfields of West Virginia.
