what is super-hot enhanced geothermal
Superhot enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are a type of geothermal energy that involves drilling deeper into the earth to access extremely hot dry rock and then creating a pathway for water to circulate and be heated to very high temperatures, sometimes exceeding 400°C. This superheated water or steam can then be brought to the surface to generate electricity or produce other high-energy products like clean hydrogen.

why super-hot enhanced geothermal
high energy output
Superhot systems can potentially generate 5-10 times more energy than conventional geothermal systems for the same amount of drilling.
global availability
Unlike traditional geothermal, which is limited to areas with shallow heat, superhot EGS can be viable in many more locations, as they don't rely on natural underground water sources.
24/7 power
Geothermal energy is a renewable resource that can provide power around the clock, unlike solar or wind, which are intermittent.
reduced land footprint
Superhot EGS can potentially generate a large amount of energy from a relatively small land area
10x power production
Super-hot well pairs have ten times the power out put of a 200°C well pair which drastically improves project economics and reduces the amount of GHGs emitted for well construction.
pioneering the industry with advanced hard-tech
We are committed to advancing the state-of-the-art of enhanced geothermal by investing in research and development and providing our technologies to other power providers. By developing and sharing our hard-tech we hope to create an abundant world for humanity that is carbon-free.
