Baker Hughes has partnered with Tailwater Capital-backed developer Frontier Infrastructure to accelerate development of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS), power generation and data center projects, according to a March 3 news release.
As part of the agreement, Baker Hughes said it will provide technology solutions such as well design, CO2 compression and long-term monitoring to support the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub being developed by Frontier in Wyoming. The hub, which spans nearly 100,000 acres in Wyoming, is designed to capture emissions from the industrial sector and ethanol facilities in the Midwest.
“With energy demand rising across the country, industrial customers need scalable, low-carbon solutions, and Frontier’s expanded infrastructure will deliver exactly that,” said Robby Rockey, president and co-CEO of Frontier Infrastructure. “By integrating gas-fired energy with the potential for permanent carbon storage, we are creating a direct, reliable power solution tailored to evolving industrial needs. Baker Hughes’ leadership in turbine technology, drilling services, and CCS innovation makes them an ideal partner in executing this vision.”
The Tailwater Capital portfolio company will develop 256 megawatts of gas-fired generation. The behind-the-meter power generation capacity is expected to help meet growing power demands across not only Wyoming but also the broader Mountain West and Texas. Baker Hughes said it plans to use its NovaLT gas turbines to support power generation.
“Baker Hughes is committed to delivering innovative solutions that support increasing energy demand, in part driven by the rapid adoption of AI [artificial intelligence], while ensuring we continue to enable the decarbonization of the industry,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes. “Working with Frontier Infrastructure represents a significant opportunity to demonstrate how Baker Hughes’ portfolio is uniquely positioned to support CCUS projects for lower-carbon industrial and energy development.”
