Davinci Geothermal is a clean, green, natural energy carrier, producing only water and heat emissions when we make it – and consume it.
Davinci Geothermal protects you from the unpredictable swings of grid pricing, creating scale at a fixed cost.
Davinci Geothermal is a constant, dependable power source for anytime use – no longer will you be beholden to an unpredictable grid powered by intermittent sources of renewable energy.
We advance the development of geothermal heat – an infinite source of power. Whether for personal or commercial use, our power can be used in a multitude of ways, including heating, cooling and large-scale electricity applications.
Geothermal energy isn’t just a direct power source – it can also be a catalyst for green fuel production. By providing zero-emission electricity and heat, it enables the production of hydrogen, biofuels, synthetic fuels, and even ammonia used in fertilizer.
Davinci Geothermal is an energy-efficient game changer for the largest energy-intensive customers. By providing both renewable power and sustainable cooling off-grid, Davinci Geothermal reduces costs, improves efficiency and cuts carbon emissions: an eco-friendly solution for a healthier world.
Our story begins nearly 4.5 billion years ago as hydrogen is one of the predominant building blocks of the Universe.
Through fusion, the sun is fueled by hydrogen. Every second, the sun fuses about 620 million metric tons of hydrogen into helium. The Daystar is the constant and brilliant symbol of life-giving fuel, just as geothermal energy represents the Earth’s internal fire – both forces for sustaining life – humanity’s purest form of power.
Originating deep in the core from the creation of our planet, hydrogen-rich olivine crystals were captured during the Earth’s formation and remained undisturbed for nearly 4.5 billion years. Astrobiologists contend that this primordial core is the beating heart of our Blue Planet’s existence – generating heat, magnetism, and stability. Water is at the foundation of Davinci Geothermal innovations.
The Earth was born during events of extreme heat and is comprised of many elemental components of power. This energy from our fiery origin still burns deep in the center of the Earth, at temperatures rivaling that of the sun. We at Davinci are seekers of this heat and, at our core, we strive to harness these elements of our origins. The result: Davinci Geothermal.
