Baker Hughes and Frontier Infrastructure have entered into a partnership to develop large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions in the United States. This agreement will enable Frontier to accelerate the development of CO₂ storage, energy production, and data centre projects while leveraging Baker Hughes’ technological expertise in these fields.

Development of the sweetwater carbon storage hub

Frontier Infrastructure is behind the development of the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub (SCS Hub), located in Wyoming. This large-scale project, covering nearly 100,000 acres, is designed to provide a CO₂ storage solution for industrial emitters and ethanol producers in the region. The site will employ a CO₂ rail transport strategy, allowing direct access to storage facilities. Frontier has already obtained three Class VI permits for CO₂ injection and has begun drilling work, with injection scheduled for the end of 2025.

Optimising the project with key technologies

As part of this agreement, Baker Hughes will provide critical technologies to support the expansion of the SCS Hub. This includes solutions for well design, CO₂ compression, and long-term facility monitoring. The integration of these technologies will allow Frontier to execute the project more efficiently and with greater financial certainty, while optimising the execution of the storage infrastructure.

Energy production expansion

Alongside the development of the storage hub, Frontier Infrastructure is establishing new energy production capacity, including 256 megawatts (MW) of gas-powered generation. This initiative aims to meet the rising energy demand in Wyoming, the Mountain West, and Texas, driven by the rapid growth of data centres and industrial operations in these areas. Baker Hughes will provide its NovaLT™ industrial turbines for this new power generation capacity, ensuring a flexible and reliable energy supply for industrial customers.

Meeting growing energy demand

“Energy demand is increasing across the country, and industrial customers need scalable, low-carbon solutions,” said Robby Rockey, President and Co-CEO of Frontier Infrastructure. “Through the integration of gas energy and permanent carbon storage solutions, we are addressing this growing demand with a direct and reliable solution.”

Lorenzo Simonelli, President and CEO of Baker Hughes, added: “This partnership demonstrates how our portfolio of technologies can support the growth in energy demand, while also contributing to the decarbonisation of industry.”
