Energy technology company Baker Hughes has struck a deal with the developer of a carbon storage hub in Wyoming to drive “large-scale” deployment of carbon capture and storage.
The deal with Frontier Infrastructure marks a step forward for the Sweetwater Carbon Storage (SCS) hub, a project that already has permits for three carbon dioxide injection wells in the southwest corner of Wyoming. The hub plans to store CO2 emissions from industries like gas processing and mining.
As part of the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide technologies for well design, CO2 compression and long-term monitoring, according to a release from the two companies.
“Baker Hughes will help optimize project execution, allowing Frontier to move forward with greater efficiency and financial certainty,” the company said in its announcement.
