Prometheus Hyperscale, Spiritus, and Casper Carbon Capture today announced a strategic partnership to develop a pioneering carbon-negative digital infrastructure campus in Wyoming. The project is expected to include a minimum of $500 million in initial investment and deliver up to 1.5 gigawatt (GW) of IT-ready capacity over multiple phases, making it one of the largest AI-focused infrastructure developments in the Rocky Mountain region. First IT-ready power is targeted for 2026.

The Class VI permit application for Orchard One represents concrete progress towards our ambitious carbon removal goals. This permit filing addresses environmental and operational considerations for large-scale carbon removal, moving us closer to providing a cost-effective solution for industries seeking to meet climate commitments.

No Carbon Left Behind: WyoTCH Hub

The project—titled Project WyoTCH: Developing a Roadmap for a Sustainable Carbon, or WyoTCH Hub for short—will develop a Roadmap for how to design a collaborative, sustainable carbon management hub, including the integrated infrastructure and workforce capacity necessary to capture, transport, store, and utilize millions of tonnes of CO2 each year. The Roadmap will focus on key areas needed to design a sustainable carbon hub that can be replicated around the US, including developing a robust business case, a core emphasis on public engagement, workforce development including a pilot tribal training program, and resilient CCS infrastructure designs. The project will emphasize the concept of no carbon left behind, the idea that we cannot meet our net-zero economy challenges by focusing only on low-hanging fruit opportunities and instead we need to develop forward-looking plans that manage our carbon now and into the future.
