About Us
The Earth’s molten core is as hot as the Sun as evidenced by the
eruption of volcanos and geysers such as Old Faithful in Yellowstone
National Park. Harnessing just 0.1% of that heat energy can power
humanity for 2 million years.
Current state-of-the-art drilling technology cannot drill deep enough
to make geothermal cost effective at a global scale. We are
developing a suite of breakthrough drilling technologies to boldly go
where no humans have gone before. The deeper we go the more
heat energy we can unleash.
Unlike large area solar and wind farms, a 9-inch hole drilled 5 miles
deep can produce the same amount of power as 320 acres of solar
panels. By plugging into this power deep within the Earth, we aim to
provide direct access to an unlimited source of constant heat energy
which can be used to produce low-cost green electricity anywhere in
the world
