Rodatherm Energy
Generating clean, waterless geothermal baseload power to secure data center grid stability.
Rodatherm Energy generates clean, round-the-clock power from heat deep underground. Conventional geothermal pumps water through hot rock, which limits where plants can be built and consumes fresh water. Rodatherm's patented Waterless Geothermal Systems (WTS) instead circulates a specialized fluid through a sealed loop that never touches the rock, driving a turbine directly. This process has low operating and maintenance costs and minimal parasitic losses. A direct expansion ORC design is over 50% more efficient than standard binary ORC designs.
Notable Achievements
- Raised a $38M oversubscribed Series A led by Evok Innovations.
- Backed by TDK Ventures and investors across deep tech and energy.
- Building its first pilot system in Utah, with a pathway to a 100 MW project at the same site.
Currently Operating in Two Regions
