  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.

• Energy Sector Commentary
  The energy sector is off to a...

  The energy sector is off to a broadly higher start, supported by strength in the crude complex and in the major equity futures. 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 losses amid 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.

  Harrison Ford will hang up his fedora for good as "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," the fifth installment of the adventure film series, hits theaters today.
  
  The film is the first Indiana Jones movie not directed by Steven Spielberg, with James Mangold taking the helm. Utilizing de-aging AI technology in some scenes, the film follows Jones, now in his 80s, as he races against time to prevent an ancient dial, capable of altering history, from falling into the hands of his longtime Nazi nemesis. Since its creation by George Lucas over four decades ago, the Indiana Jones series has had a profound impact on both cinema and popular culture.
  
  The movie is projected to earn $65M during its domestic opening weekend, placing it on par with 2018's "Mission: Impossible–Fallout." The Indiana Jones franchise has grossed over $2B at the box office when adjusted for inflation. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18, where Harrison Ford was presented with an honorary Palme d'Or.
