Ultra-deep geothermal is the only viable
large-scale baseload solution
to replace fossil fuels to power the planet with local sources.
Energy consumption in 2050 will increase by 50%
The current path to a 3,5 degree increase in Earth’s temperature leads to a climate disaster. The world must unite behind the call for a reduction in carbon emissions because energy generation demands can no longer be supplied by burning fossil fuels.
A green transition is underway and traditional renewable energy sources are the solution, but to tackle the size of climate change a unique solution with global impact is needed.
A significant tech disruption in renewables is needed now
A robust technological revolution is rolling out to replace fossil fuels on a large scale because small changes will not help.
In order to make this energy generation transition happen; we need to scale up renewable energy sources quickly. If we continue with the current solar, wind, & hydro technologies, we will fall short of the climate change mitigation.
Can we cover increased energy demands and replace fossil fuels?
The current state of renewables, primarily wind & solar power, won’t be sufficient to replace the heat, light and mobility we’ve come to expect from traditional fossil fuels.
While useful and promising, wind and solar are transient, interruptible and need back up by fossil sources that significantly devalue the positive impact of renewable use.
Geothermal has the distinct capability of replacing coal-fired power plants on a 1:1 basis, but predictions for geothermal energy’s share of the 2030 energy mix are currently below 1% and that´s not enough.
Scalable Geothermal
The core of the Earth is the largest, accessible, & most sustainable “battery” with 99% of its volume hotter than 1000˚C. The core is a constant and predictable source of “free” energy that will last for 6 billion years.
Every single place on Earth has access to the power of geothermal energy.
To make geothermal energy available and to use it efficiently, it´s essential for us, at GA Drilling, to answer the following questions:
- How deep is the source of geothermal energy?
- Through which geological layers is it necessary to drill?
- For how many people and for what purposes does this source serve?
- What energy needs are priority in the region; electricity, heating, cooling, or water desalination?
- What functional partnerships are available in a region to carry out a project?
We enable a scalable series of geothermal solutions; each level is deeper & more efficient for a larger scale.
Using our expertise in underground Engineered Geothermal Systems, we focus on innovative subsurface methods. In conjunction with our partners, we combine our expertise with the proven construction of scalable surface infrastructure.
Our solutions are a synergy of:
- Our patented PLASMABIT® drilling system to access geothermal energy at the required depths
- Extensive expertise of conventional drilling from the oil & gas industry
- Best practices from successful geothermal projects worldwide
The deeper we drill, the more energy we get.
