In a world teetering on the brink of an energy revolution, one company is harnessing the power of the Earth itself to drive us towards a cleaner, brighter future. Quaise Energy, the brainchild of visionary minds and cutting-edge technology, has just secured a staggering $21 million in funding to propel its mission forward. But what exactly is Quaise Energy, and why should we all be paying attention?

At its core, Quaise Energy is more than just a company; it's a beacon of hope in a landscape dominated by fossil fuels and climate concerns. By tapping into the virtually limitless potential of deep geothermal energy, Quaise is poised to revolutionize the way we power our world.

But what sets deep geothermal energy apart from other renewable sources, you may ask? Well, for starters, deep geothermal power plants have the capacity to generate a jaw-dropping ten times more energy than conventional geothermal methods. Couple that with the ability to provide 24/7 baseload power and near-universal access to clean energy, and you've got a game-changer on your hands.

What's truly remarkable about Quaise Energy's approach is its sheer scalability. By utilizing advanced millimeter wave drilling technology developed through years of research at MIT, Quaise can tap into superhot geothermal reservoirs located 3-20 km below the Earth's surface. And with recent field demonstrations set to commence this year, the promise of terawatt-scale geothermal energy is closer than ever to becoming a reality.

But it's not just about creating clean energy; it's about doing so in a way that's sustainable, efficient, and inclusive. Quaise Energy is leading the charge in repurposing existing fossil-fired industrial assets, seamlessly integrating deep geothermal power plants into our current infrastructure. This not only streamlines the transition away from fossil fuels but also ensures a smoother path towards a carbon-neutral future.

With the support of investors like Prelude Ventures, Safar Partners, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Standard Investments, Quaise Energy is well-positioned to tackle the challenges ahead. From enhancing field operations to strengthening the supply chain, every dollar invested brings us one step closer to a world powered by clean, abundant, and renewable energy.

Just like Quaise Eavor technologies have been going deeper also in search for steam

So, as we stand on the precipice of a new era in energy, let's rally behind the visionaries at Quaise Energy and embrace the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Because when it comes to shaping the future of our planet, the sky's the limit with deep geothermal energy at our fingertips.

Amsterdam Strikes Geothermal Gold: Hot, Thick, Permeable Reservoir Confirmed

Breakthrough Beneath the Beach: Amsterdam Region Hits Geothermal Paydirt at Strandeiland By: Robert Buluma The Netherlands just took a giant leap toward fossil-free heating. On the artificial island of Strandeiland (part of Amsterdam’s fast-growing IJburg district), the SCAN exploration well has officially confirmed what the geothermal community has been hoping for: a thick, hot, and , most importantly permeable reservoir in the Slochteren Formation. Key numbers that matter:   Reservoir thickness: 152 meters   Bottom-hole temperature: 66 °C   Permeability: confirmed via successful production and injection tests   That’s not screaming-hot by Icelandic standards, but for direct-use district heating in one of Europe’s densest urban areas, 66 °C is more than enough to supply thousands of homes with clean, baseload heat – forever. Why This Well Changes Everything for the Netherlands The Dutch government launched the SCAN program (Seismic Campaign Nethe...

A Quiet Revolution Underground: Prenzlau’s Geothermal Leap Toward a Fully Renewable Heat Future

Prenzlau’s Geothermal Breakthrough: A Decisive Step Toward a Fully Renewable Heat Future By: Robert Buluma The city of Prenzlau, located in northeastern Germany, has reached a major milestone in its transition toward sustainable energy. In December 2025, Stadtwerke Prenzlau announced a decisive breakthrough in its geothermal project after successfully encountering geothermal water at a depth of 983 meters. This discovery represents a critical step forward for the city’s ambition to fully decarbonize its heat supply and positions Prenzlau as a leading example of how medium-sized towns can harness geothermal energy for district heating. The geothermal water discovered during drilling operations is estimated to be around 200 million years old and is contained within a saline sandstone formation deep underground. With a temperature of approximately 44°C and a planned production rate of 130 cubic meters per hour, the resource offers a reliable and continuous source of renewable heat. A test...
