Carbon Capture Collaboration

Baker Hughes and Frontier Infrastructure (Frontier), a developer of low-carbon infrastructure, have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the deployment of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) and power solutions in the United States. As part of the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide technologies and resources in support of the development of large-scale CCS, power generation, and data center projects.

Frontier is leading the development of the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub (SCS Hub), one of the largest open-source carbon sequestration assets in the country. Spanning nearly 100,000 acres (40,468 ha) in Wyoming, the hub is designed to support industrial emitters across the region and ethanol facilities across the Midwest utilizing its carbon dioxide (CO₂)-by-rail strategy. Frontier currently holds three Class VI permits and has commenced drilling activities on its first wells with first injection commencing year-end 2025.

As part of the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide technology to support the development of the SCS Hub and future infrastructure projects – including well design, CO₂ compression, and long-term monitoring.

To further enhance reliable, lower-carbon energy solutions, Frontier is expanding its infrastructure footprint with new behind-the-meter power generation capacity. This includes the development of 256 MW of gas-fired generation, designed to meet the increasing power demands across Wyoming, the broader Mountain West, and Texas — particularly driven by the rapid expansion of data centers and industrial operations. Baker Hughes’ industrial NovaLT gas turbines will be deployed to support power generation, ensuring efficient and flexible energy delivery for Frontier.

“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.”
