SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Frontieras North America, a subsidiary of Frontier Applied Sciences, today called for a change in the way that the global coal industry discusses the use of fossil fuels and the processing of coal. Refuting the anti-coal movement's argument, Frontieras' technology positively harnesses the role of carbon in energy production. Frontieras calls for the global coal industry and related associations to embrace new technologies that will further advance the industry that, according to the World Coal Association, accounts for 40% of the world's electricity. Instead of creating policies to eliminate the use of coal, today's governments need to evolve their thinking about how innovation, technology and collaboration allow us to harness the ubiquitous supply of coal for the betterment of civilization while maximizing the output of beneficial byproducts contained within the coal.

Key Points: 
  • This perspective, from a leading authority, aligns with Frontieras' offering and supports the balance between coal and other energy sources across the globe.
  • With its patented Solid Carbon Fractionation technology validated, Frontieras is on the cusp of constructing the industry's first zero-waste processing plant.
  • In completing this process, Frontieras is essentially converting standard coal into coal coke (often used in the production of steel manufacturing).
  • Frontieras' FASForm streamlines the processing of solid hydro carbonaceous materials and maximizes the energy output in each of its three forms: solids, liquids, and gas.
