Abstract: SWEETWATER CARBON STORAGE HUB PROJECT

Frontier is developing the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub (“SCS Hub”), one of North America’s first open source, multipurpose carbon storage hubs. The SCS Hub spans more than 100,000 acres in southwestern Wyoming and will provide a carbon management solution for key industrial emitters across the Mountain West. Additionally, Frontier has received 3 Class VI UIC Permits issued by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality for CO2 injection, the first of their kind in the state. When fully developed, the SCS Hub is expected to store over 350 million metric tons of CO2 in geologic reservoirs.
