Happy Wednesday!
We mentioned in a couple of our
Blogs in 2023 Wyoming and North Dakota had received their authority to approve
their own carbon capture projects. In 2024 and early 2025, Louisiana and West
Virginia were added to the list of states with the authority to approve CCS
projects and Class VI wells. Well, we
finally read on someone getting one of those permits.
Did anyone
happen to read Tank Storage News America Weekly Newsletter on March 7,
2025, their article titled, “Baker Hughes & Frontier partner on U.S. carbon
capture, data centers”? In the article, it speaks on how Baker Hughes
and Frontier Infrastructure have teamed up to innovate a large carbon capture
and storage (CCS) and power solutions technology venture. The collaboration will have Baker Hughes taking
the lead with the equipment for carbon dioxide (CO2) compression, monitoring and
energy production as well as help with well design to make a commercial scale
CCS and energy production venture. Frontier
will handle the infrastructure starting with their Sweetwater Carbon Storage
Hub. Frontier’s project is a massive CCS
hub which will cover almost 100,000 acres in Wyoming and will be supplied by a
CO2-by-rail approach with the supply coming from sources in the Midwest. Currently, Frontier holds several of Wyoming’s
Class VI well permits and approvals, and they have started working on their
first injection well and are expecting to deposit CO2 by end of this year. In addition, Frontier is planning on adding to
their energy structure a 256 megawatts gas-fired power plant which will use
Baker Hughes’ NovaLT™ gas turbines. We
wish the CCS project much luck reducing emissions in the Midwest and adding electricity
to the region’s power grid. If you would
