Did you know that deep beneath the Earth's surface, there are abundant reserves of geothermal energy, one of the largest untapped energy sources on the planet? This source of clean energy, however, is largely inaccessible with modern drilling technology. Engineers at Quaise Energy Energy are addressing this challenge by developing a revolutionary gyrotron drill that uses millimeter-wave beams to vaporize rock and is capable of reaching unprecedented depths up to 12 miles into the Earth’s crust. Quaise is scaling operations with plans to begin field testing at a pilot site this fall. Learn more about our portfolio company's innovative approach. https://bit.ly/3XptvOF
