up::: Gaps in the geothermal industry
Description of need
There is an opportunity to build a company that provides technology and equipment for deep geothermal drilling, including rugged gyrotrons, waveguides, as well as other equipment such as:
- Cements that cure at high temperatures
- Explosives that work at high temperatures
- Drilling electronics that operate at high temperatures
Carlos Araque from Quaise Energy confirms that one of the major gaps in the deep geothermal industry today is equipment that can reliably operate in deep, hot environments.
