Frontier Infrastructure Holdings and Wild Assets secure an offtake agreement for up to 120,000 tonnes of high-permanence Carbon Removal Certificates (CORCs) through BECCS technology.
Captured biogenic CO₂ will be transported by rail to Frontier’s Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub in Wyoming, avoiding the permitting and infrastructure challenges of long-distance pipelines.
All credits will be retired via the Puro Registry to ensure compliance with Puro.earth’s stringent verification standards.
Frontier Infrastructure Holdings, a low-carbon infrastructure developer operating across Texas and the Mountain West, has signed a major offtake agreement with Wild Assets, a global asset manager focused on carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The deal secures up to 120,000 tonnes of high-permanence CORCs, generated through bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology.
The credits will be produced by capturing biogenic CO₂ emissions from ethanol refineries, transporting them via rail, and storing them permanently in geologic formations at Frontier’s Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub in Wyoming. This approach bypasses the challenges of pipeline permitting and connects dispersed emission sources to large-scale sequestration infrastructure.
“This agreement validates our strategy to lead in CO₂-by-rail logistics and invest in the infrastructure required for durable carbon storage,” said Steven Lowenthal, Co-CEO of Frontier.
Frontier’s rail-based logistics model, developed in partnership with a major railroad, enhances flexibility and accelerates deployment timelines for large-scale carbon storage projects. The CORCs will be retired through the Puro Registry, ensuring compliance with the rigorous Puro Standard.

“Our confidence in Frontier’s CDR projects stems from their thoughtful engineering, elegant design, commitment to Puro.earth’s stringent standards, and their strategic role in the energy value chain, where BECCS enables real decarbonization,” said Matan Rudis, Partner at Wild Assets.
The agreement marks a significant advancement for the voluntary carbon market (VCM) as demand for verified, durable carbon removal solutions continues to grow. It also underscores BECCS as a scalable, high-integrity technology for achieving long-term climate goals.
