The company has already secured promising geothermal opportunities in Turkey, Alaska, California, Nevada, and Italy.
Driven by a mission to provide affordable, reliable, and sustainable baseload geothermal energy, Ignis Energy integrates extensive expertise from the oil and gas sector into geothermal exploration and development. The company is pioneering the use of cutting-edge machine learning models to predict, locate, and explore geothermal resources more efficiently, leading to better drilling outcomes and lower project risk. With a portfolio spanning multiple geographies and geological formations, Ignis Energy is targeting the development of one gigawatt of documented producible geothermal reserves by 2030.
