Frontier Carbon Solutions Holdings LLC announced it has received federal funds to help develop its Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub (SCS Hub), which the company said will eventually hold more than 350 million metric tons of CO2, according to a June 29 press release.
The hub will be further developed with Frontier’s partner, the University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources. Frontier and the university received a $40.5 million award from the Department of Energy’s CarbonSAFE initiative. The funding will be used to drill class VI injection wells and expand reservoir characterization across the hub’s area.
Frontier, a portfolio company of Tailwater Capital LLC, said that the carbon storage hub will span over 45,000 acres in southwestern Wyoming.

U.S. stock index futures extended gains after data showed a closely watched measure of inflation cooled in May, offering fresh evidence of easing price pressures due to the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes. A Commerce Department report showed the personal consumption expenditures price index rose 3.8% in May, on an annual basis from 4.3% last month.
WTI and Brent crude oil futures are trading higher but remain on course for a fourth consecutive quarter of lossesamid concerns over sluggish global economic activity and fuel demand. Inflationary pressure and rising interest rates in key economies and a slower-than-expected recovery in Chinese manufacturing and consumption have weighed on markets in recent months. However, signs of strengthening U.S. economic activity and sharp declines in U.S. oil inventories last week offered support.
Natural gas futures are trading lower as the NOAA's 6-10 day outlook shows a cooler trend across parts of the east-central US, with below-normal temps reaching into the Southeast and Central Gulf Coast regions, as well as the Northern and Central Rockies and Plains.
