One of the most promising solutions to the surging energy demand lies beneath our feet: geothermal energy. But drilling to the super hot rock many miles down is a vexing technical challenge & is one reason why geothermal provides less than 1% of global electricity.
Join us for a fireside chat with Carlos Araque (CEO, Quaise Energy), a spinout from the MIT Plasma Science & Fusion Center, that is pioneering a radically new drilling technology. An MIT-trained engineer, Carlos spent 15 years on complex energy systems at SLB (Schlumberger), before joining MIT's The Engine to commercialize tech.
In this conversation, moderator Duncan Turner (General Partner, SOSV & Managing Director, HAX) & Carlos will explore:
Why conventional geothermal stalled: the drilling physics & cost curves that historically confined geothermal to volcanic regions
Designing for superhot resources: what fusion-derived millimeter-wave technology reveals about reaching deeper, hotter rock
The realities of superhot rock: why higher temps dramatically increase power density & project economics
Partnering with Oil & Gas: lessons partnering with incumbents to accelerate geothermal deployment
Building the first superhot geothermal power plant in the U.S.: an inside look at Quaise's Oregon pilot project & its upcoming commercial-grade flow test
Broadcast live from our SOSV NY event space in Manhattan, this is the next installment of SOSV Deep Tech LIVE, SOSV's video podcast series exploring the frontiers of deep tech with leading founders, researchers, & technologists.
