Geothermal developers want hotter rock. Hephae is building the electronics that can follow them there - and turning a 210°C field milestone into a business.
The Company That Bought the Drill
For 26 years, ThermaSource sold geothermal know-how. Then rigs became scarce, and advice was no longer enough. The company bought the machinery, hired the crews and learned how expensive a hole in the earth can be.
Invenergy’s 38-Gigawatt Trick: Build the Power Plant, the Contract, and the Patience
The Chicago power builder became North America’s largest privately held independent producer by treating energy as a full-stack business. Its advantage is execution across decades - and its latest pivots show exactly where that model bends.
Bedrock Energy
Bedrock Energy is an Austin-based geothermal startup making heating and cooling for commercial buildings cheaper and cleaner. By reengineering oil-and-gas drilling technology with real-time subsurface sensing and simulation software, Bedrock drills geothermal boreholes up to 5x faster, then designs and delivers ground-source heat pump systems that can cut a building's HVAC energy costs in half while slashing related air pollution.
