Why Superhot Geothermal Matters
Clean, firm, superhot geothermal power can help replace fossil fuels and secure a sustainable, net-zero future — and KMT is where this breakthrough begins.
The Energy We Need
The world is racing to reach net zero, but renewable power alone isn’t enough. We need clean, firm energy that works day and night — not just when the wind blows or the sun shines. Superhot geothermal energy is one of the only scalable solutions that can deliver this — providing the reliability and strength needed to decarbonize our grids.
Impact in Numbers
5–10× More Power
Superhot geothermal systems can generate up to ten times more energy than conventional wells — delivering clean, firm power that can replace fossil fuels and accelerate the global energy transition.
Global Potential
Superhot geothermal conditions exist across volcanic regions worldwide — from Iceland and Italy to Indonesia, Kenya, and Japan — offering a scalable, renewable energy resource for a net-zero future.
Critical for 2030 Climate Goals
Reaching net-zero targets requires new sources of clean, reliable baseload power. Superhot geothermal energy offers a viable path to phase out coal and gas while strengthening global energy security.
