Geothermal energy everywhere, unlocked by drilling with lightning

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

Data centers

AI has become part of daily life. But the surge in AI use is projected to double energy demand from data centers globally by 2030. Those data centers need 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 homes, factories and public buildings still use fossil fuels for heating. We need to deploy clean solutions at scale, not incrementally.

Cooling

Heatwaves are breaking grid records and putting lives at risk in the same summer. Cooling demand is rising fast, and electricity systems built for a different climate are struggling to keep up.

Mining

Rare earths and critical minerals power everything from smartphones to wind turbines. Mining them still runs largely on fossil fuels. Geothermal energy changes that, providing the clean, affordable power that extraction operations need, anywhere in the world.

Geothermal power will supply generations to come with clean, emission-free energy

Available Anywhere

Unlocking geothermal energy at scale means awakening the sleeping giant of the energy transition. It will become the most universally available energy source on the planet.

Always-on

No waiting for wind or sun. No fuel to import. Geothermal delivers constant, flexible power, 365 days a year. Energy that never sleeps.

Low-cost

Once the hole is drilled and the geothermal plant is set up, it runs for decades with minimal operating costs. The Earth provides the energy for free.

Geothermal energy could cover 70% of today's electricity needs

Geological limitations can be overcome. We just need to drill cheaper. Here is how Telura makes deep geothermal affordable at scale.

Telura unlocks clean baseload energy anywhere, by breaking rock with lightning.

Cheaper and faster

Drilling makes up 70% of project costs. Conventional drilling gets exponentially slower and more expensive with depth. Telura's system drills faster and at lower cost, without mechanical bit wear.

Repeatable

With Telura, geothermal projects become predictable and standardized. Our repeatable approach gives investors the confidence to forecast returns and deploy capital at scale.

Safe

Next-generation drilling, especially in closed systems, reduces environmental risks and accelerates permitting processes that have historically stalled projects for years.

Abundant

Underneath the surface, heat exists almost everywhere on Earth. Just 1% of the Superhot Rock potential could generate eight times the current electricity demand worldwide.

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