Frontieras Appoints Jose Lopez as Chief Financial Officer to Lead IPO Readiness and Financial Growth
Seasoned Finance Leader Brings IPO Experience and Public Market Expertise to Accelerate Frontieras’ Transition to a Publicly Traded Leader within the Energy Sector
Houston, Texas June 9, 2025 — Frontieras North America, a U.S.-based clean hydrocarbon innovator redefining global energy markets with its breakthrough FASForm™ technology, today announced the appointment of Jose Lopez as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). His hiring signals a critical milestone in the company’s trajectory as it prepares for a public listing and scales construction of its $850M flagship facility in Mason County, West Virginia.
Mr. Lopez is a seasoned global finance executive with more than two decades of experience across public accounting and senior leadership roles at large, multinational publicly traded companies. Prior to joining Frontieras, he held key finance positions at industry-leading firms and began his career in PwC’s external assurance practice. Widely regarded as a subject-matter expert in SEC regulations, corporate governance, and the financial strategy and operations of public companies, he has led initiatives spanning M&A, post-merger integration, complex audits and transactions, and IPO readiness, particularly for energy and infrastructure firms operating within the U.S. capital markets. Mr. Lopez also brings deep expertise in strategic planning and has a proven ability to align finance functions with long-term business objectives.
“Jose’s appointment couldn’t come at a more important time,” said Matthew McKean, CEO and Co-Founder of Frontieras North America. “As we build momentum toward our IPO, Jose brings the precision, regulatory expertise, and institutional credibility to ensure we meet and exceed the financial and compliance standards required of a world-class public energy company.”
In his role as CFO, Mr. Lopez will spearhead the financial structuring and compliance efforts necessary to prepare Frontieras for its upcoming public listing. His background includes leading IPOs, managing SEC filings (Forms 10-K, 10-Q, S-1), aligning accounting operations with FASB standards, and directing investor communications through earnings reporting cycles. His insights will be pivotal in overseeing Frontieras' internal controls, financial reporting frameworks, and external audit processes as the company transitions to the public markets.
“Frontieras stands apart in today’s energy market,” said Mr. Lopez. “The combination of industrial-scale profitability, zero-waste innovation, and a clear regulatory path forward is exactly what institutional investors are looking for. I am proud to join a team with such a strong operational foundation and vision, and I look forward to helping guide the company through a successful IPO and beyond.”
This announcement builds upon a surge of recent milestones for Frontieras, including a $150 million equity commitment from GEM Global Yield LLC SCS and engineering advancements that have positioned the company to construct and commission its state-of-the-art Solid Carbon Fractionation facility. The company’s patented FASForm™ process transforms coal and other carbonaceous materials into liquid fuels, hydrogen, fertilizers, and FASCarbon™ — a clean-burning solid fuel — without emissions, waste, or subsidy dependence.
With global patents covering 85% of coal-producing regions and offtake agreements in place, Frontieras is positioned to lead a profitable new era of energy independence. Mr. Lopez’s leadership will help ensure the financial systems, SEC reporting mechanisms, and corporate governance practices are fully aligned with institutional standards as the company enters the public market.
