Transformative Technologies is making geothermal a big part of our energy abundant future, today.

We work with two distinct types of geothermal. Power generation in sedimentary basins with breakthrough technology from Johns Hopkins University. And heating and cooling with Thermal Energy Networks for campuses and communities.

We integrate these technologies with conventional and emerging energy systems, data centers, workforce development initiatives, and elite academic partnerships to accelerate their adoption and nurture their industries.
