Baker Hughes and Frontier partner on gas power and CCS solutions

Technology company Baker Hughes has announced a strategic partnership with Frontier Infrastructure, a US-based infrastructure developer, to accelerate the deployment of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) and power solutions.

As part of the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide technologies and resources to support several Frontier initiatives.

One such initiative is the development of the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub (SCS Hub), an open-source carbon sequestration project based in Wyoming. The development will support industrial emitters and ethanol facilities across the region, with first injection into the wells expected to begin Q4 2025.

As part of the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide CCS technology solutions for well design, CO₂ compression, and long-term monitoring, and will also help Frontier optimise project execution.

Frontier is also expanding its behind-the-meter power generation capacity, another initiative Baker Hughes will support as per the agreement. According to a company press release, this includes the development of 256MW of gas-fired generation to meet the need of growing power demand from data centres and industrial activities in the region.

Baker Hughes will provide its NovaLT gas turbines to support Frontier in this development.

Robby Rockey, president and co-CEO of Frontier Infrastructure, commented in a statement: “With energy demand rising across the country, industrial customers need scalable, low-carbon solutions, and Frontier’s expanded infrastructure will deliver exactly that.

“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...”

Lorenzo Simonelli, chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes, added: “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.”

Frontier is a portfolio company of Tailwater Capital, a private equity firm specialising in integrated energy and environmental infrastructure investments.
