What makes Frontier different from other ethanol companies?
Frontier has solid backing from both the private sector and all levels of government. Frontier is a Michigan-based company owned by Mascoma Corporation, a global leader in cellulosic ethanol technology, and J.M. Longyear, a Michigan company and a leader in natural resources management. Frontier’s proposed facility uses inexpensive, abundant biomass from renewable surplus pulpwood. Frontier will not use food crops such as corn to make ethanol, allowing ethanol prices to remain more stable than ethanol from commodity sources.
