Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub

Under Development

Project Operator: Frontier Carbon Solutions

Location: Granger, Wyoming

Frontier Carbon Solutions operates the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub, a permitted sequestration field designed to serve emitters across the Mid and Mountain West. On an annual basis, there are nearly 9 million tons per year of capturable carbon emissions in southwestern Wyoming, across a variety of the state's most important industries, including trona, natural gas processing, power, and helium. The Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub lies at the heart of the global trona industry, a unique ore that provides sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate for glass manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, detergents, and food-grade ingredients used across the world. As this and neighboring industries pursue 2030 and 2050 net zero goals via carbon capture, Frontier Carbon Solutions will provide carbon management services for all captured CO2 into safe, permanent sequestration. For many of the state’s industries, decarbonization can only be achieved through largescale carbon capture and sequestration.

Mineral Processing, Soda Ash
Type Of Well For Sequestration
Class VI
Project's Financial Additionality
Post combustion carbon capture is largely uneconomic with just the $85/t 45Q Federal Income Tax Credit. The only viable free market mechanism to bring projects form engineering to commercial operation is via the voluntary carbon markets.
Additionality
There are currently no state or federal regulations capping or limiting the emissions of CO2 for many of Southwestern Wyoming's industries.
