Quaise Energy
Geothermal energy that has the same power and scalability as fossil fuels.
How does it work?
It is an entirely new way to access the largest untapped energy source on the planet: geothermal energy
This approach uses the established workforce, assets, supply chains, and regulatory frameworks of the fossil fuel industry. So Quaise don’t need to create infrastructure from scratch.
By providing the multi-terawatt levels of energy required to power our civilization, Quaise can build a truly equitable, clean energy source on a global scale.
But to scale geothermal to terawatts we must drill deeper, hotter, and faster than ever before possible.Our gyrotron-powered drilling platform vaporizes boreholes through rock and provides access to deep geothermal heat without complex downhole equipment.
Based on breakthrough fusion research and well-established drilling practices, we are developing a radical new approach to ultra-deep drilling. Quaise use conventional rotary drilling to get to basement rock. Then, they switch to high-power millimeter waves to reach unprecedented depths.
Why is it needed?
Deep geothermal energy is at the core of an energy-independent world. Our mission is to bring this inexhaustible, renewable, clean energy source to future generations. This is the profound power of deep geothermal. We are unlocking energy for all.
How does it improve life?
Deep geothermal energy is at the core of an energy-independent world. It is the only renewable solution with the potential to get us to net zero by 2050. It is renewable, inexhaustible, and available everywhere.
