What is Frontier Renewable Resources?
Frontier Renewable Resources is owned by Mascoma Corporation, a world-leading cellulosic ethanol research and development company, and J.M. Longyear, a natural resources management company founded in the late 1800s and based in Marquette, Michigan. Frontier is building one of the nation’s first commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plants, capable of initially producing up to 40 million gallons of ethanol, a liquid automotive fuel, a year. The plant will be located in the township of Kinross in Michigan’s eastern Upper Peninsula. In addition to reducing our dependence on imported oil, the project will also create around 800 good-paying Michigan jobs.
