We are a dedicated team committed to delivering renewable, scalable, and secure geothermal energy through the Heat4Ever™ solution. In this section, you will discover our vision and mission, our story, and the people driving it forward.
At Green Therma, our vision is to transform and decarbonize the way the world produces heat.
Through our Heat4Ever™ solution, we are on a mission to revolutionize how we harness Earth’s energy, making renewable, secure, and affordable heat accessible everywhere. We believe that Heat4Ever™ can become a significant climate technology, helping societies reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
Green Therma began with a question: could the tools and insights from oil and gas be applied to solve one of the world’s greatest energy challenges – producing and delivering more sustainable heat?
In 2020, as interest in geothermal energy grew, a group of visionary and entrepreneurial individuals explored how technologies might overcome the long-standing limitations of traditional geothermal systems. With deep experience in horizontal well design and innovation in closed-loop pipe systems, the team discovered a simpler way to tap into the earth’s heat without geological risk and with much lower environmental impact.
What started as an exploration of a new idea soon evolved into something more significant. With support from their network and investors, the founders came together to bring the idea to life through Green Therma, with a mission to rethink geothermal heat.
Building on that original vision, Green Therma is now dedicated to delivering renewable, reliable, and scalable heat through our Heat4Ever™ solution, helping communities, businesses, and cities transition to more sustainable heat.
With decades of experience in drilling, subsurface exploration, and the energy sector, we have assembled a team of experts, academics, and visionaries. This diverse group brings the expertise needed to make the Heat4Ever™ solution a reliable source of heat for businesses, towns, governments, and communities worldwide.
