Reinventing Geothermal Energy. Universal, Scalable, Clean, and Affordable Power from Superhot Rocks.
Superhot Rock, a catalyst to the energy transition.
Superhot rocks (SHR) are subsurface geological formations with temperatures exceeding 374° C (705°F). Geothermal energy production at these extreme temperatures has the ability to produce 5-10x more electrical power than current conventional and enhanced geothermal systems resulting in scalable renewable energy with a carbon-free footprint.

The Start of an Energy Revolution…
Mazama Energy is dedicated to advancing technologies and methods for extracting heat from superhot rocks. Our initial project is the development of 200 MW at the Newberry volcano in Oregon, a fully-permitted geothermal site with SHR less than 5km depth.
Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Mazama Energy will pilot the first-of-its-kind SHR Enhanced Geothermal System Demonstration Project at Newberry in collaboration with state and federal agencies, and engage local communities and tribes.
The mission is sustainable, clean energy production with minimal impact on the environment, land, and wildlife.
Mazama’s MUSE™
Modular Unconventional Superhot Energy.
MUSE™ is the synthesis of Mazama Energy’s SHR advancements: Mazama Drill, Thermal Lattice™, and Heat Harvester™. Our proprietary methods and technologies are the key to SHR energy production.
These technologies assist in driving down electricity cost to less than $50 per MWh because MUSE™ requires 80% fewer wells and 75% less water than current engineered geothermal system approaches.
Mazama Drill
Reliable, precise and efficient drilling in Superhot Rock.
Mazama Energy’s proprietary drilling technologies will drill horizontal well paths in Superhot Rock.
Thermal Lattice™
Creates large capacity, durable reservoirs in Superhot Rock, unleashing an energy dense output to power the future.
Thermal Lattice™ generates and enhances heat production from deep Superhot Rocks within the earth to the earth’s surface.
Heat Harvester™
Predicts long-term well performance.
Over time, strain on the well leads to decreased heat production. Heat Harvester™ predicts and simulates the life of the wells to maximize well integrity and heat recovery.
