Energy tech solutions provider Baker Hughes has established a partnership with carbon capture and storage (CCS) company Frontier Infrastructure for growing its U.S. operations in the segment.
The focus of the agreement is on natural gas plants that will supply energy for data centers which are projects to create sustainable demand over the next decades as technologies like AI become more widespread.
“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, CEO, Baker Hughes.
Baker Hughes is set to contribute with its know-how in the areas of CO2 compression, well design and monitoring of storage wells, which will allow Frontier to develop its Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub in Wyoming.
Frontier will be expanding its power generation operations in the region with 256MW of gas-fired capacity in the region with Bake Hughes lining up its NovaLT gas turbines for the job.
“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,” added Robby Rockey, co-CEO, Frontier Infrastructure.
