Company Profile

Developing multidisciplinary research to exploit and use low geothermal energy as an emission-free source of power for modern cities. From kilometres below the earth, hot fluids are rising towards the surface and bringing with it the promise of another form of renewable energy.
Geothermal "hot earth" power is far better than power from traditional fossil fuels in terms of cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness, but until recently it has been geographically limited to areas near tectonic plate boundaries. Advances in science have expanded the range and size of viable resources, making the possibility of geothermal power development in Australia a near-reality.
