Unlocking the True Value of Coal
Coal is one of the world’s most abundant energy resources. By cleanly transforming coal into valuable by-products like hydrogen, diesel, jet fuel, fertilizer, and essential industrial chemicals, our FASForm energy technology has the potential for tremendous profit.
We’ve already raised over $10 million from investors – join us, and secure your share in the next groundbreaking frontier in the global energy industry.
The Tide Has Turned in Our Favor
The ESG movement was built on ideology and subsidies, not science or profitability. With the 2025 passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, everything that once made Frontieras contrarian is now a competitive advantage.

Problem
The Multi-Billion Dollar Missed Opportunity in Coal
Coal is the king of energy resources: it’s one of the most abundant and reliable energy source on the planet, filled with valuable resources that can power civilization.
However, the global switch to alternative energy and rising oil costs have cast a shadow on the industry, shutting down coal plants and stifling essential innovation.
Few realize the potential of bringing coal into the clean energy era – instead of shutting down coal plants, our technology gives them the ability to switch to a low-emissions fuel, while unleashing coal’s immense value as a clean fuel and key materials resource.
Solution
We’ve Unlocked the True Value of Coal
We’re turning coal use into a profit generator by making it more environmentally friendly and economically viable. Our patented FASForm technology and Solid Carbon Fractionation process transforms coal into a variety of valuable commodities –– without burning it. This presents a revolutionary and environmentally friendly solution for utilizing the world’s coal resources, while producing high-value products such as:
How It Works
FASForm: Our Revolutionary Coal “Splitting” Process
Crude oil is refined and fractionated into various products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. We’re commercializing a method for fractionating coal through our FASForm technology. In its natural state, coal is filled with valuable energy resources. Rather than tapping into these resources, the world has wasted these vast resources by simply burning coal for energy. Our FASForm technology unlocks these resources in an efficient, environmentally friendly, zero-waste process for use in global commodities markets.
Validated by our successful operation in Texas
Our IP is international, with comprehensive patents in 9 countries on 5 continents, covering half the world’s population and 85% of the global coal markets.
Market Opportunity / Trends
Tapping Into the $2.1 Trillion Energy and Chemicals Markets
Energy is a necessity across industries, and the global market for our products is worth a combined value of over $2.1 trillion. We’re producing commodities that already have established, viable markets with virtually unlimited demand:
Expansion
Launching Our First Facility in West Virginia
We’re building multiple facilities in key locations, starting with an $850M plant in Mason County, WV. This project is expected to create 200 full-time jobs, 2,000 construction jobs, and significantly boost West Virginia's GDP.

FAQs
We’re not just another energy tech company — we’re redefining the sector of coal utilization. FASForm™ is the first zero-waste solid carbon fractionation platform that actually delivers commercial volumes of fuel, fertilizer, hydrogen, and clean carbon — from a source the rest of the world ignored: coal.
We’re the Rockefeller moment for solid hydrocarbons. We disassemble coal into refined outputs with 90%+ reduced emissions, no waste, and far superior economics than ESG-dependent “alternatives.” That’s not just innovation — that’s transformation.
And that transformation is no accident. McKean and Witherspoon built this business on the S.T.E.P. framework — aligning Science, Technology, Economics, and Politics — to ensure FASForm wouldn’t just work in theory, but break through in the real world.
The ESG movement collapsed under its own weight. It was built on ideology and subsidies, not science or profitability. Frontieras never relied on that model. We built a business around real yields, real infrastructure, and real market demand.
Now, as capital flows back into energy reality, Frontieras stands out as an energy innovator that’s not only clean — we’re bankable, scalable, and profitable from day one. ESG never let coal compete on merit. That era is over.
With the 2025 passage of the Big Beautiful Bill — a sweeping pro-energy industrial policy — everything that once made Frontieras contrarian is now a competitive advantage. The regulatory tide has turned in our favor.
We don’t burn coal — we reform it. FASForm™ is a closed-loop, zero-waste thermal fractionation process that extracts the intrinsic value from coal without emitting waste into the air, water, or soil.
At our Mason County facility, we’ll process 7,500 tons of coal per day, yielding:
- 2.3 barrels of liquid fuels (diesel, naphtha, kerosene) per ton- Over 20 million standard cubic feet per day of hydrogen, used onsite to hydro-treat the fuels to ultra-low sulfur diesel
- FASCarbon™, a clean solid carbon product with 90% less sulfur than petcoke
- Sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate fertilizer, created from captured byproducts like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide
Every output is modeled to carry its own commercial weight — just like a diversified investment portfolio. That’s how we de-risked the technology and proved it could compete globally.
West Virginia is the coal capital of America — and it’s the perfect launchpad for Frontieras to commercialize a U.S.-born energy revolution. Our $850M facility will process 7,500 tons/day, create over 2,000 construction jobs, and deliver energy independence at scale.
It’s not just about location — it’s about symbolism. This is where the old economy meets the future of energy. And we’re doing it without subsidies, with offtake contracts in hand, and engineering milestones already complete.
With accelerated permitting under the Big Beautiful Bill, and alignment with EPA deregulation under Administrator Lee Zeldin, this project now benefits from fast-track timelines and market certainty.
We’re a high-margin, multi-revenue stream energy business — not a science project. Our offtake agreements, fixed-yield volumes, and patent protection give us both defensibility and scale.
We extract five revenue-generating streams from every ton: diesel, hydrogen, carbon, acid, and fertilizer. And we don’t rely on carbon credits, green gimmicks, or tax incentives to turn a profit. Our forecast margins are real-market and outperform nearly every clean tech project on the board.
Witherspoon’s continuous-feed fractionation process was engineered from day one for commercial performance — not lab-scale theory. That’s why our outputs are not only insurable, but already proven and infrastructure-compatible across global markets.
FASForm™ is highly scalable — not because it’s modular, but because it’s engineered to be built-to-spec.
Our team customizes each deployment to match local coal characteristics, infrastructure realities, and economic priorities. Whether lignite in India or sub-bituminous coal in the Powder River Basin, we tailor each system to optimize for yield, logistics, and market value.
With patents covering 85% of global coal-producing regions and engineering flexibility that supports both greenfield builds and co-located retrofits, Frontieras is positioned to scale across continents, not just counties.
And with policy now aligned thanks to 2025’s pro-industry legislative shift, we’re entering the commercialization era — the phase we spent over a decade preparing for.
