March 3 (Reuters) - Baker Hughes (BKR.O) on Monday announced a partnership with Frontier Infrastructure to accelerate the development of its large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) and power solutions in the United States.
Baker Hughes stated it would provide technology solutions to support carbon capture projects along with power generation and data centers.
Baker Hughes said it would leverage key technologies for well design, carbon dioxide compression, and long-term monitoring to develop Frontier Infrastructure's Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub located in Wyoming.
The company added it would use its gas turbines to support 256 megawatts of power generation to meet increasing power demand across the U.S. Mountain West region, Texas, and Wyoming.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, power demand is expected to reach record highs this year, primarily driven by the rapid expansion of data centers to support AI technology and industrial operations.
Carbon capture is a process of storing CO2 underground, a crucial strategy for the energy sector to mitigate emissions from industrial activity and reduce its impact on global greenhouse gas levels.
"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.
"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," said Robby Rockey, co-CEO, Frontier Infrastructure.
