The project includes permanent storage of most emissions at Tallgrass’s Wyoming hub, bringing Google’s contracted carbon capture capacity to nearly 1 gigawatt. Google says it will pay for all of its power use and directly cover infrastructure needs driven by its growth; the data center will use air cooling to reduce pressure on local water resources.
