Geothermal energy everywhere, enabled by ultra-deep drilling

Find out more

The world’s energy demand is accelerating rapidly. To keep pace, we need power that is clean, reliable, and always-on. Intermittent renewables and fossil fuels alone cannot meet this challenge.

Data centers

Global energy demand from AI data centers are projected to double by 2030, creating an urgent need for clean, baseload power that runs 24/7.

Electrification

The electrification of transport, industry and manufacturing is driving rapid growth in global energy demand across economies.

Heating

Nearly two-thirds of global heating demand still relies on fossil fuels. To meet global net-zero climate goals, we need to deploy clean solutions at scale – not incrementally.

Cooling

Rising global temperatures are fueling growth in cooling demand, particularly in buildings and urban environments, adding significant strain to electricity systems during peak periods.

Geothermal energy can supply abundant, clean, and constant power for generations to come.

01

Available Anywhere

Geothermal is everywhere, right underneath our feet. Making it the most universally available energy resource on the planet.

02

Always-On

No fuel to import. No weather to wait for. Geothermal delivers constant, flexible power 24/7, 365 days a year. This is energy that never sleeps.

03

Low-Cost

Once built, geothermal plants run for decades with minimal operating costs and zero fuel expense. The Earth provides the energy for free.

Geothermal energy has the potential to supply 70% of global demand.

We just need to drill deeper. Here is how Telura makes deep geothermal affordable at scale.

Ultra-deep, Super Hot Rock Geothermal (SHR)

By tapping into superhot rock to produce energy and heat, 5-10 times more electricity per well can be generated compared to conventional geothermal systems.

Closed-loop Geothermal Systems (CLGS)

Sealed pipes move heat from deep underground to the surface to produce heat and power. This engineered solution transforms geothermal from a geography lottery into a global resource.

Electro-impulse drilling

Instead of mechanically grinding through rock, Telura uses high-voltage electrical pulses to break it from within. This fundamentally changes what's physically possible at depths.

System integration

Telura’s technology integrates with conventional drilling systems, which means faster deployment, lower risk and no need to rebuild the supply chain.

Telura's system unlocks affordable baseload energy anywhere on the planet.

01

Cheaper and faster

Conventional drilling gets exponentially slower and more expensive the deeper you go. Telura makes deep drilling affordable and deployable at speed by cutting through rock faster with minimal equipment wear.

02

Scalable solution

Telura’s system de-risks geothermal projects by turning them into predictable, repeatable solutions. Standardization gives investors the confidence to forecast returns and deploy capital at scale.

03

Safe

Closed-loop systems means significantly reduced environmental risks. This makes geothermal possible in more locations and dramatically accelerates permitting that have historically stalled projects for years.

04

Abundant

Geothermal heat exists almost everywhere beneath Earth's surface. Tapping just 1% of the superhot rock potential could generate eight times current worldwide electricity demand.

Telura is built on over two decades of research and backed by leading European deep-tech investors.
