permit support

data analysis

GIS-Based Environmental Analysis: Compile and analyze spatial data related to habitat, land use, hydrology, and sensitive resources using ArcGIS or QGIS. Generate maps and spatial products that support environmental planning and impact assessments.
Environmental Monitoring Program Design: Support the development of monitoring plans for air, water, and soil quality at project sites. Contribute to sample design, instrumentation selection, and data-logging workflows, ensuring alignment with regulatory and project-specific standards.
Environmental Impact & Toxicology Assessment: Conduct preliminary environmental and toxicological evaluations for proposed geothermal well sites or infrastructure. This may include analyzing potential chemical exposure pathways, reviewing toxicological reference data, and preparing screening-level assessments to support NEPA/CEQA documentation.
AI-Assisted Environmental Modeling: Use AI-powered tools to organize, analyze, and model environmental datasets such as groundwater chemistry, air emissions, soil sampling results, or ecological survey data. Develop predictive models to identify potential environmental risks or areas requiring additional study.
Regulatory Compliance & Permitting Support: Assist in preparing environmental permit applications by compiling supporting data, reviewing regulatory requirements, and coordinating with internal teams. Use AI tools to summarize regulatory documents and streamline compliance tracking.

$400M+ Equity Raised

Funding for Geothermal Expansion

Raised over $400 million in equity and $17 million in grants to scale EGS systems focused on firm clean baseload.

3.5 MW Power Achieved

Geothermal System Milestone

First commercial horizontal well pair geothermal system with 3.5 MW baseline power and 60 L/s flowrate achieved on July 18, 2023.

~70% Cost Reduction

Efficient Drilling Advancements

Reduced drilling time by ~70%, cutting costs from $9.4 million to $4.8 million per well at Cape Station.

33 MW & 320 MW PPAs

Clean Energy Contracts

Signed power purchase agreements totaling 33 MW with Clean Power Alliance and 320 MW with Southern California Edison, avoiding approximately 21,005 metric tons of CO₂ annually.

Provides 24/7 carbon-free energy via next-generation geothermal power
Cape Station project fully permitted for up to 2 GW, begins electricity generation in 2026
Combining geothermal with direct air capture for integrated carbon removal
Net-zero target: implicit – deploying carbon-free energy at scale by mid-2020s
