Developing greenfield and brownfield geothermal systems and radiogenic heat using advanced nanotechnology for high conversion of subsurface heat to useful power
New open research report from Nanogeios Laboratory and GEIOS Technologies:
Radiogenic Heat Resource Class of the Northeastern United States — county-scale assessment of temperature, power potential, and the stimulation constraint for geothermal power production.
New GEINESIS audio: a 21-minute AI-generated deep dive into our essay on data centers, geothermal and the West's water problem. Data centers use water on site and, on average, far more at the power plants that supply them.

Batteries vs. geothermal is the wrong fight. Batteries answer in milliseconds but store hours. Geothermal is firm but usually runs flat out.

Behind-the-meter power avoids the grid queue by giving up the grid's pool. Is that a good trade?
Berkeley Lab: the typical U.S. project built in 2024 took 55 months from request to operation, against 22 months in 2008.

Pick up granite and it feels cool. Yet roughly half of Earth's heat flux comes from the decay of uranium, thorium and potassium, and those elements concentrate in the granite-rich upper crust. That's why granite is hot, even far from volcanoes.

GEIOS technology is lab-tested and lab-proven, with positive results. Field work is now underway at three projects (two on existing wells, one greenfield) at undisclosed locations; no field results have been published yet.
A common way an enhanced geothermal reservoir fails early is uneven flow. Cold water finds one fast path, that path cools, and the cooling tends to open it further.

EQG (Enhanced Quantum Geothermal) is lab-tested with positive results. Field work is now underway. GEIOS is not affiliated with Utah FORGE or other projects cited.
Ask what carbon costs a power buyer and you can get three answers: a compliance price, an emissions factor and an accounting rule. They often disagree.

EQG (Enhanced Quantum Geothermal) has no published lifecycle emissions figure, and we give none. It is lab-tested with positive results. Field work is now underway.
