About The Organization
GreenFire Energy is a tech-enabled next-generation geothermal developer delivering scalable, baseload power to energy-intensive industries. As one of the premier startups reshaping the geothermal landscape, GreenFire Energy is leading the charge toward a more sustainable energy future. By matching technology to geology, we take a technology-agnostic approach, integrating AGS, EGS, and conventional methods—to select the best solution for each resource and accelerate deployment with reduced risk. We specialize in co-located, behind-the-meter (BTM) solutions and revitalizing underutilized geothermal fields to create productive, low-carbon energy assets. By applying advanced heat recovery techniques and proven oil and gas technologies, we reduce risk, maximize efficiency, and accelerate time to revenue. With a growing portfolio of international patents and strategic partnerships, GreenFire Energy is driving the transition to sustainable, always-on power—on track to develop 150 MWe of geothermal capacity by 2030 and become a top global geothermal producer by 2040.
