Wood has been selected to provide operations and maintenance solutions for MTR Carbon Capture at the world’s largest membrane-based carbon capture plant in Gillette, Wyoming.
The facility, based at the Wyoming Integrated Test Center (ITC) and managed by the University of Wyoming, is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s large-scale pilot carbon capture program. This initiative aims to advance technologies that enhance the economic and environmental efficiency of point source carbon capture.The plant captures up to 150 tons of CO₂ per day from Basin Electric’s Dry Fork Station coal-fired power plant, with a 90% capture rate.

Under an 18-month contract, Wood will deliver full asset management services, including operations, preventative maintenance, data capture, and inventory management to support CO₂ sequestration while ensuring safe and optimized plant operations.
Jess Stanley, President of Operations Americas at Wood, said: “Wood has been at the forefront of the carbon capture and storage market for over 40 years. We are combining that track record with our operations expertise to support MTR Carbon Capture in scaling and accelerating industrial decarbonization in Wyoming.
“By supporting this innovative carbon capture initiative, we are helping to secure a sustainable future by preserving our natural resources and creating new economic opportunities. This project positions Wyoming at the forefront of environmental stewardship and technological advancement, and Wood is proud to be a part of it. Wood’s presence in the region, robust supply chain capabilities, and exceptionally talented people mean we are well-placed to deliver success on this important project.”
Wood, alongside joint industry partners, launched industry guidelines for CO₂ specifications in carbon capture projects in October 2024. Focusing on operational efficiency, these environmental and safety guidelines will be used at the pilot plant to enhance performance and sustainability while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards for future developments.
