Texas energy technology company Baker Hughes and Frontier Infrastructure (Frontier), a Dallas-headquartered developer of low-carbon infrastructure projects, have partnered to advance the development of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) and power generation projects in the US, including infrastructure to support rising energy demand from data centres.
The collaboration will focus on Frontier’s Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub in Wyoming, one of the country’s largest open-access CO2 sequestration sites. Spanning nearly 100,000 acres, the hub will serve industrial emitters and ethanol producers, with CO2 transported via rail. Frontier has begun drilling and expects first injection of CO2 later this year.
Baker Hughes will provide CCS and power generation technologies, including CO2 compression, well design, and long-term monitoring. It will also supply gas turbines for Frontier’s 256 MW behind-the-meter gas-fired power project, aimed at supporting data centres and industrial customers in Wyoming, Texas and the states that comprise the Mountain West.
“With energy demand rising across the country, industrial customers need scalable, low-carbon solutions,” said Robby Rockey, President and co-CEO of Frontier Infrastructure.
