Nestled along the Ohio River north of Huntington, Frontieras North America plans to build an $850 million flagship facility that will turn coal into fuels, fertilizers and industrial carbon products, rather than burning it, Gov. Patrick Morrisey announced Monday.
The 183-acre facility — with access to barge and rail transportation as well as nearby coal reserves — is expected to create more than 2,000 construction jobs and over 200 full-time positions.
“West Virginia gave us every reason to build here — natural resources, world-class logistics and a government that understands the importance of industrial growth,” said Matthew McKean, CEO and co-founder of the company in a press release.
Morrisey said West Virginia’s 50 by 50 plan to sharply increase power production in the state is one reason the state was selected. The 50 by 50 plan aims for the state to produce 50 gigawatts of baseload electricity by the year 2025. Currently, the state produces about 15 to 16 gigawatts.
