Casper, Wyoming, October 7, 2025- Prometheus Hyperscale has teamed up with Spiritus and Casper Carbon Capture to develop a 1.5 GW AI-optimized data center campus near Casper, Wyoming. The campus is designed to be carbon-negative, removing more carbon than it produces.

The project combines high-performance computing infrastructure with advanced carbon capture technology. Spiritus will supply Orchard Power, a 1.5 GW energy platform powered by natural gas. The system integrates point-source and direct air capture (DAC) technologies to make the campus carbon-negative from day one. Casper Carbon Capture will transport the captured CO₂ to sequestration wells in Natrona and Converse Counties, ensuring permanent storage.

Prometheus Hyperscale is investing approximately USD 500 million, with the first IT-ready power expected by 2026. The project will also create hundreds of construction jobs and dozens of long-term technical roles, contributing to the local economy.

This campus builds on Prometheus’s 1.2 GW data center in Evanston, Wyoming, which already operates carbon-neutral through partnerships with PureWest Energy and Frontier Carbon Solutions.

According to Prometheus Hyperscale, “Our collaboration with Spiritus and Casper Carbon Capture demonstrates a new paradigm in sustainable data center design, combining high-performance infrastructure with advanced carbon-negative technology.”

By integrating AI-ready computing with carbon capture and sequestration, Prometheus aims to set a new standard for environmentally responsible data centers, while supporting the growing demand for energy-intensive AI workloads.
