About
Quaise Energy is an energy technology and development company founded at MIT around 2019. The company focuses on harnessing superhot geothermal energy from depths of up to 20 kilometers using innovative millimeter wave drilling technology. This approach aims to provide abundant, reliable, and clean zero-carbon power on a global scale, positioning geothermal energy as a key solution for modern energy needs. Quaise's core technology allows for the vaporization of hard rock to access superhot zones, significantly increasing energy output compared to traditional geothermal methods. The company plans to develop a pilot power plant in the Western U.S. by 2028, utilizing existing oil and gas infrastructure for rapid deployment. Quaise operates as both a technology innovator and project developer, working to overcome barriers in geothermal energy and promote a clean energy transition. Their efforts include field demonstrations and collaborations to enhance the viability of geothermal sites worldwide.
