Baker Hughes, Frontier Infrastructure Partner on Carbon Capture and Data Center Projects in the U.S.
- Massive Carbon Storage Expansion: Frontier’s Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub (SCS Hub) spans 100,000 acres in Wyoming, providing open-access CO₂ storage for industrial emitters and ethanol producers.
- Baker Hughes Tech Integration: Baker Hughes will supply key CCS and power generation technologies, including CO₂ compression, well design, and NovaLT™ gas turbines.
- Boosting U.S. Energy Infrastructure: The partnership enables the development of 256 MW of gas-fired power to support increasing demand from data centers and industrial operations.
Baker Hughes and Frontier Infrastructure announced a strategic partnership to accelerate large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) and power generation projects across the U.S.
Why it matters:
With rising energy demand and the push for decarbonization, this partnership strengthens the infrastructure needed for low-carbon energy solutions.
Frontier’s Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub (SCS Hub) is set to become one of the largest CO₂ sequestration assets in the U.S. The Wyoming-based project covers 100,000 acres and supports industrial emitters and ethanol facilities across the Midwest using a CO₂-by-rail strategy. The company has secured three Class VI permits and expects its first carbon injection by the end of 2025.

Tech advantage:
Baker Hughes brings crucial CCS and power technologies, optimizing well design, CO₂ compression, and long-term monitoring to enhance project execution.
Energy expansion: Frontier is increasing its infrastructure footprint with 256 MW of gas-fired power to meet surging demand in Wyoming, the Mountain West, and Texas. Baker Hughes’ NovaLT™ gas turbines will play a key role in delivering efficient and flexible energy solutions.
“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.
“Baker Hughes is committed to delivering innovative solutions that support increasing energy demand, in part driven by the rapid adoption of AI, while ensuring we continue to enable the decarbonization of the industry,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes.
As Frontier’s projects progress, Baker Hughes anticipates new orders for its technology solutions. Frontier is backed by Tailwater Capital, with Jefferies LLC as its financial adviser and Sidley Austin LLP providing legal counsel.
