Carbon Negative Geothermal Is Here
Discover the future of geothermal energy in this insightful clip from EarthX 2025. Lawrence Ford, Founder & CEO of Conscious Capital Foundation, interviews Troy von Otnott about a significant geothermal breakthrough: closed-loop systems utilizing supercritical CO2 instead of water.
Troy von Otnott explains the compelling advantages of this technology:
- Superior Efficiency: Up to 40% more efficient than traditional water-based systems.
- Wider Applicability: Does not rely on reservoirs, making geothermal viable in far more locations globally.
- Carbon Sequestration: The closed-loop system permanently sequesters CO2 within the process.
This innovative approach delivers always-on power (24/7/365), achieving an impressive ~98% operating capacity. Furthermore, the infrastructure is remarkably durable, with well-level components potentially lasting a century. Watch this clip for a clear and practical understanding of why this geothermal innovation is poised to become a core pillar of the clean energy transition.
