The Hidden Answer to AI’s 8,000% Energy Surge

Powering AI will require up to 8,000% more energy. By 2030, AI data centers alone could consume as much electricity as entire nations like Sweden or Argentina.

Today’s grid wasn’t built for this. But that’s where Frontieras comes in. 

Their patented FASForm™ technology breaks coal down to produce clean fuels, hydrogen, fertilizer and more. All from America’s most abundant resource, with zero waste and minimal emissions.

Their first facility in West Virginia will deliver:

• 7,500 tons of coal processed per day, to produce 4000 tons of “clean carbon”

• 18,000 barrels per day of high-grade fuels  (diesel, kerosene, naphtha)

• 20+ million standard cubic feet per day (SCFD) of hydrogen for fuel treatment

• 350 tons per day of fertilizer

• 200 full-time jobs and a 2% projected increase in West Virginia’s GDP

And that’s just the beginning. 

Frontieras holds patents covering 85% of the world’s coal-producing regions, positioning the company to replicate this model globally. Their patented FASGEN™ strategy also offers a smooth upgrade for existing coal plants. That creates an even bigger opportunity to reach more plants worldwide. 

Frontieras is building the power that will keep AI, and the global economy, running.

Now, you have the chance to invest in it.
