January, 2024

CHEYENNE, WYOMING – The Wyoming Energy Authority (WEA) announced today that Governor Gordon has approved six separate projects to receive Energy Matching Funds. The total awarding for all six projects is $37,513,104 – leveraging over $120 million in both federal funding and private capital for an investment of over $157 million in Wyoming-based energy projects. 

Casper, Wyoming-based Flowstate Solutions received $2 million in funding for their project, “CO2 and Hydrogen Pipeline Safety: AI-Driven Leak Detection,” which addresses leak detection failures in Wyoming’s oil and gas operations, hydrogen transportation, and carbon capture and sequestration efforts. Using an innovative AI-driven leak detection solution, Flowstate’s all-Wyoming team aims to enhance pipeline transport safety and efficiency for Wyoming’s core energy sectors. By providing advanced leak detection for CO2 pipelines (captured from coal plants and used in EOR activities) and natural gas, the technology ensures fewer disruptions, reduces product loss and revenue impacts, and helps companies comply with regulations.
