Baker Hughes and Frontier Infrastructure have announced a strategic partnership to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) and power solutions in the United States. Under the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide technology and resources to support large-scale CCS, power generation, and data center projects.
Frontier is developing the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub, one of the largest open-source carbon sequestration projects in the country. Spanning nearly 100,000 acres in Wyoming, the hub aims to serve industrial emitters and ethanol facilities across the Midwest through a CO2-by-rail strategy. Frontier currently holds three Class VI permits and has begun drilling, with the first injection planned for late 2025.
Baker Hughes will contribute well design, CO₂ compression, and monitoring technologies to optimize the SCS Hub’s execution. Additionally, Frontier is expanding its energy infrastructure with 256 megawatts of gas-fired power generation to meet growing demand in Wyoming, the Mountain West, and Texas. Baker Hughes’ NovaLT™ gas turbines will support this effort, providing efficient and flexible energy solutions.
Frontier Infrastructure’s president and co-CEO, Robby Rockey, highlighted the need for scalable, low-carbon energy solutions, emphasizing the integration of gas-fired power with carbon storage. Baker Hughes chairman and CEO, Lorenzo Simonelli, underscored the company’s commitment to delivering innovative technologies to meet rising energy demand while supporting decarbonization.
Baker Hughes anticipates future orders as Frontier’s projects progress. Frontier, a Tailwater Capital portfolio company, received financial advisory from Jefferies LLC and legal counsel from Sidley Austin LLP.
