Frontier is helping Arbor build a “vegetarian rocket engine” to power data centers
Arbor Energy's carbon-removing power plant is inspired by SpaceX's rocket engines.
Frontier, the organization backed by Stripe, Google, and Meta, announced Tuesday it is paying startup Arbor Energy to remove 116,000 tons of carbon dioxide by the end of the decade. “One of the great things about BiCRS is that you get the capture part for free because plants are drawing down the CO 2, and all you have to do is strip it out in and store it,” Hannah Bebbington, head of deployment at Frontier, told TechCrunch. Even if only one gigaton meets those standards, there’s still a lot of potential for BiCRS and its close cousin, bioenergy with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS), to make a significant dent in future energy needs.
