Kya hua
Mazama Energy ne September 17, 2026 ko $135M oversubscribed Series B close kiya, Centaurus Capital aur Doerr Capital ke lead mein, Newberry, Oregon pe superhot rock geothermal scale karne ke liye.
Mazama Energy ne September 17, 2026 ko $135 million naya capital announce kiya superhot rock geothermal commercial development speed ke liye. Oversubscribed Series B ko Centaurus Capital (John Arnold ke founded) aur Doerr Capital ne lead kiya, ConocoPhillips aur Shell Ventures join hue; Khosla Ventures aur Gates Frontier baar baar invest kare hain; aur investors mein SiteGround Capital, H. Barton Asset Management, aur Jeffrey and Marieke Rothschild Foundation hain.
Mazama ka doosra well, Project Athena, September 2026 mein 10,350 feet 15 din mein reach kara — lagbhag 2025 ke well se 80% jaldi — aur ab approximately 15,000 feet ki taraf drill kar raha hai 750°F (400°C) pe. Is temperature pe paani supercritical hota hai, jo conventional 390°F well se 10x zyada power de sakta hai, simultaneously 75% kam paani aur 80% kam wells use karta hai.
Naya capital Project Ceres ko fund karega, U.S. Department of Energy ki support se, jo horizontal well development ko 15 MWe per well tak le jaayega aur 2027 mein power generation demonstrate karega. Mazama Newberry, Oregon site pe 10+ GWe resource potential ki independent certification target kar raha hai.
Sriram Vasantharajan, Mazama Energy ka CEO, pehle Quaise Energy co-founded ki thi, jo ultra-deep geothermal mining technology develop karti thi. Newberry pe humne extreme-temperature drilling, reservoir creation aur heat harvesting ki critical pieces sab demonstrate kiye hain — kisi aur engineered geothermal system mein aisa temperature nahi hua.

Log kya keh rahe hain
Signal-only · not reporting“At Newberry, we have demonstrated the critical pieces together: extreme-temperature drilling, reservoir creation and heat harvesting, at temperatures no other engineered geothermal system has achieved.”
“Power is the constraint on everything we're trying to build this decade. We backed Mazama early because geothermal can be the planet's largest source of clean, 24/7 power.”
“The world needs vastly more electricity, and we need to produce it cleanly and affordably. Superhot geothermal has the potential to be a major new source of 24/7 clean power.”
