Geothermal energy everywhere, unlocked by drilling with lightning
The world’s energy demand is accelerating rapidly. To keep pace, we need power that is clean, reliable, and always-on. We cannot rely on intermittent renewables and fossil fuels alone.
Data centers
Global energy demand from AI data centers are projected to double by 2030, creating an urgent need for clean, baseload power that runs 24/7.
Electrification
The electrification of transport, industry and manufacturing is driving rapid growth in global energy demand across economies.
Heating
Nearly two-thirds of global heating demand still relies on fossil fuels. To meet global net-zero climate goals, we need to deploy clean solutions at scale – not incrementally.
Cooling
Rising global temperatures are fueling growth in cooling demand, particularly in buildings and urban environments, adding significant strain to electricity systems during peak periods.
Mining
Rare earths and critical minerals power everything from smartphones to wind turbines. Mining them still runs largely on fossil fuels. Geothermal energy changes that, providing the clean, affordable power that extraction operations need, anywhere in the world.
Geothermal power will supply generations to come with clean, emission-free energy
01
Available Anywhere
Unlocking geothermal energy at scale means awakening the sleeping giant of the energy transition will turn it into the most universally available energy source on the planet.
02
Always-on
No waiting for wind or sun. No fuel to import. Geothermal delivers constant, flexible power, 365 days a year. Energy that never sleeps.
03
Low-cost
Once the hole is drilled and the geothermal plant is set up, it runs for decades with minimal operating costs. The Earth provides the energy for free.
Geothermal energy could cover 70% of today's electricity needs
Geological limitations can be overcome. We just need to drill cheaper. Here is how Telura makes deep geothermal affordable at scale.

Telura unlocks clean baseload energy anywhere, by breaking rock with lightning.
Cheaper and faster
Drilling makes up 70% of project costs. Conventional drilling gets exponentially slower and more expensive with depth. Telura's system drills faster and at lower cost, without mechanical bit wear.
Repeatable
With Telura, geothermal projects become predictable and standardized. Our repeatable approach gives investors the confidence to forecast returns and deploy capital at scale.
Safe
Next-generation drilling, especially in closed-loop systems, reduces environmental risks and accelerates permitting processes that have historically stalled projects for years.
Abundant
Underneath the surface, heat exists almost everywhere on Earth. Just 1% of the Superhot Rock potential could generate eight times the current electricity demand worldwide.
Telura builds on over two decades of research and is backed by leading deep-tech investors

What our partners say.
"Telura has the potential to fundamentally change the economics of geothermal energy and unlock affordable baseload energy anywhere on the planet. With a founding team that brings deep tech scaling expertise, we couldn’t imagine a stronger group to execute on this bold vision."
"Philipp and Andrew bring the rare combination of relentless execution and technical depth needed to solve deep geothermal's core engineering challenge at unprecedented speed. Their approach to drilling without mechanical wear will unlock unlimited baseload clean energy almost anywhere on Earth, transforming geothermal from a niche resource into a future cornerstone of energy abundance."
"Telura's electro-impulse approach has the potential to become a cross-industry key enabling technology. SPRIND supports Telura in validating this breakthrough beyond research toward real-world application."
"To power the AI era, the world needs more than just intermittent wind and solar. Telura unlocks the only truly scalable, 24/7 clean energy source right beneath our feet. By solving the physics of deep drilling, they are turning geothermal energy from a niche resource into a global baseload solution."
