Proud to report on the results of our commercial next-gen geothermal pilot project in Nevada. We firmly believe it's important to share the technical details of our performance tests so that y'all can see for yourself that this tech is shovel-ready.

Tim Latimer@TimMLatimer · Jul 18, 2023

1/Today I am thrilled to announce, after years of work, our team @fervoenergy has developed a major advancement in geothermal, proven it at the field scale, and is set to deliver commercial next-gen geothermal decades ahead of schedule. THREAD. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Stoked to announce our plans @fervoenergy to build optimized geothermal + DAC facilities. Tim does a deep dive on the natural synergies in this 🧵. Grateful for the support of @ChanZuckerberg to help jump start this initiative.

Tim Latimer@TimMLatimer · Feb 23, 2023

1/Excited to share some BIG news on a new effort at @fervoenergy to optimize direct air capture (DAC) of carbon by addressing the energy needs of DAC systems, funded by @ChanZuckerberg: hybrid geothermal + DAC facilities. A THREAD.

Feeling inspired after reading this piece written by Fervo drilling and completions engineer, Camden Lang. She describes how she pivoted her career from oil and gas into geothermal. If you can relate, there’s good news - we’re hiring!

Clean Energy for America@ce4america · Feb 22, 2023

Great piece in @rgj by a former #fossilfuel engineer now working in #geothermal with @fervoenergy. She believes many more will follow her path to #cleanenergy, thanks to @POTUS’s Affordable Clean Energy Plan. So many new, good-paying jobs are opening up.

Great news. Time based RECs will be a critical step toward incentivizing 24/7 clean electricity and procurement of clean, firm generation.

Jesse D. Jenkins@JesseJenkins · Feb 14, 2023

PJM to launch an hourly energy certificate tracking system in March 2023! Perfect timing to use hourly matching criteria in hydrogen PTC implementation (45V) and support growing markers for 24/7 clean electricity procurement!

Proud to announce our latest PPA to deliver clean, firm power into Southern California. Some thoughts 👇on the market trends behind this deal and broader implications on deployment of geothermal power.

Fervo Energy@fervoenergy · Nov 10, 2022

24/7 CFE (carbon-free energy) strikes again! We're partnering with three outstanding groups - Desert Community Energy, Clean Energy Alliance, and California Choice Energy Authority - to bring firm, clean power to Southern California.

We're working on some exciting technology to enable flexible geothermal generation, allowing us to store energy and shift production to when it's needed (and at relatively high RTEs). This in-depth study, led by @wilson_ricks, shows that flexibility can add tremendous value.

Wilson Ricks@wilson_ricks · Sep 19, 2022

Hello #energytwitter! I'm excited to announce a new working paper in collaboration with @VollerKate, @JackNorbeck, and @JesseJenkins: The Role of Flexible Geothermal Power in Decarbonized Electricity Systems.

Grateful for @SecGranholm’s leadership in announcing a new Geothermal Earthshot today, and equally grateful for the opportunity to share details on the projects that we are building @fervoenergy with her during this innovator’s roundtable event.

Secretary Jennifer Granholm@SecGranholm · Sep 8, 2022

I’m with @ENERGY’s very own Dr. Geri Richmond to speak with technical experts about the opportunities for enhanced geothermal systems.

We look forward to continuing our work together with industry leaders to spread the availability of geothermal + good-paying clean energy jobs.

It's Time to Build...some geothermal power plants!

Excited to partner with our newest investors, @DCVC and @cppib, to scale up our geothermal operations throughout the western US.

Fervo Energy@fervoenergy · Aug 22, 2022

Fervo is thrilled to announce $138 million in new funding, led by @DCVC, to accelerate our next-generation geothermal deployments. There is unprecedented demand for 24/7 carbon-free energy in today’s market and these funds will help us meet that challenge.

Our new deal with EBCE to supply 40 MW of geothermal power is a clear signal that sophisticated offtakers already understand the value of 24/7 clean, firm resources. Grateful for @PoweredbyEBCE's leadership in addressing both grid reliability and decarbonization with this PPA.

Tim Latimer@TimMLatimer · May 24, 2022

1/I'm very excited to share some big Fervo news as we launch our next phase of growth: a new PPA with @PoweredbyEBCE to supply 40 MW of 24/7 carbon-free electricity (24/7 CFE) from one of our next-generation geothermal projects in Nevada.

This is so huge. @antoraenergy has developed game changing tech that is bound to have a massive impact on climate. Make sure you are tracking this team.

Clay Dumas@claydumas · Feb 17, 2022

One big question we ask in our investment memos @lowercarbon: If a startup does so well that we get rich, by how much could they lower atmospheric CO2? For @antoraenergy, the answer was 10s of billions of tons per year. This is a fossil fuel killer. cnbc.com/2022/02/16/bil…

"The downside to fiber is the staggering amount of data it produces."
Downside? I see this as the defining opportunity in fiber. Pulling the signal from the noise (pun intended) and managing the data volumes will unlock massive value creation for fiber.
