Project InnerSpace

2024's Greatest Hits: We made the top climate charity lists, mapped over 170+ layers of geothermal data across North America, India, and Africa, and advanced 3 groundbreaking projects as finalists for 2025 catalytic grants. We also teamed up with the IEA to demonstrate that geothermal energy could meet global electricity demand 140x—and yes, we even wrote a power ballad about it! Swipe through to explore the links to how we bring Earth's heat to the surface. And it's only getting hotter in 2025 🔥 𝗩𝗼𝘅 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 https://lnkd.in/eeAdkuj 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗠𝗮𝗽 https://lnkd.in/duCbWjmz 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱 https://lnkd.in/egMqaRSG 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 https://lnkd.in/gYry-bZC 𝗜𝗘𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁  https://lnkd.in/dQwcs7zV Happy New Year from everyone at Project InnerSpace!

Discover how Project InnerSpace’s first-of-its-kind analysis helped shape the International Energy Agency (IEA)'s Geothermal Report. 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗠𝗮𝗽 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 🌍🔍 The InnerSpace team developed a subsurface model using GeoMap’s 175 layers of data, mapping geothermal power and heat capacity down to 8,000 meters. That data was fed into a volumetric model that estimated the theoretical heat-in-place (HIP) volumes. This model showed enough global geothermal potential to meet electricity demand 150 times over. ⚡️ 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 (𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗘) 💰 Our team developed a model using HIP volumes to calculate economically recoverable electricity at various levels (LCOE). It incorporates capital expenses, operational and maintenance costs, the system’s projected lifespan, and the costs of drilling, resource exploration, and infrastructure development. This model showed that enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) could generate 300,000 exajoules of electricity for under $300/MWh—100 times the world’s annual electricity consumption. We ran 39 LCOE and LCOH (Levelized Cost of Heat) scenarios, factoring in current and future drilling technologies. 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 (𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗛) 🔥 While much of the focus on geothermal is on electricity, next-gen geothermal also offers huge potential for district heating and industrial heat. The InnerSpace team developed an LCOH methodology that evaluates the cost of producing heat from geothermal, focusing on high- and low-temperature applications (e.g., 100°C for industrial heat and 40°C for low-temperature processes), showcasing its efficiency and competitiveness as a heat source. It is especially valuable for industrial processes and district heating, highlighting geothermal’s potential as a cost-effective and efficient heat source. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗠𝗮𝗽 📊📈 The tools and models from the IEA report offer key insights for smarter project decisions, helping to reduce costs as more projects are deployed. Many of the resource maps developed for the report are available on GeoMap, including: • Volumetric Potential with Depth Maps  • Heating and Cooling Potential Relative to Population Density Maps  • Sedimentary Basins for Oil and Gas Conversion Maps  • Thermal Energy Storage and Cooling Potential Maps 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 ➡️ Geomap https://lnkd.in/gUjegvD6 Press Release https://lnkd.in/giyNX29m IEA Report https://iea.li/4g9TykN Special thanks to the hashtag GeoMap team for their incredible work and heavy-hitting outcome: Helen Doran, Daniel Merino-Garcia, Claudia Olivares Cabello, Stephen J.

Thank you to our passionate team's hard work and our incredible partners and community backing us every step of the way 🙏 Here's to everyone who made this milestone possible! 🎉

We are honored to be featured in Vox’s list of the 11 Highest Impact Climate Organizations. This recognition highlights the important work we are doing to make geothermal energy accessible around the world. Our newest launch, GeoMap India, is a step forward in realizing this vision. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our generous donors and the hard work and dedication of our amazing team. While the future of climate action may seem uncertain, we believe that a positive path forward is within our reach—if we come together. It’s not just about policy change; it’s about collective action. Project InnerSpace is focusing on a critical piece of the climate puzzle: Geothermal Energy. By harnessing the Earth’s natural heat, we have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide sustainable, carbon-free energy solutions. Thanks to all in our network who have contributed to our success—you all rock!

Project InnerSpace is excited to launch today GeoMap India. 🔥🔥🔥 The tool is a first-of-its-kind for India, mapping geothermal development potential by combining 175 subsurface and surface datasets, and identifying the most promising regions for geothermal development. The tool highlights the massive potential of untapped geothermal energy to become a crucial part of India’s clean energy mix as it seeks to spur economic growth and development by increasing energy supply. GeoMap™ India highlights several regions in India that are particularly promising for geothermal development requiring higher temperatures, like for power and industrial heat production. These regions include: 1) Gujarat State on India’s west coast, including the area of the Southern Cambay Basin and the major industrial zone of Jhagadia; 2) Large areas of east and northeast India, particularly in the Bihar and Meghalaya States, 3) The Himalayan region of northwestern India; 4) Through the central Son Narmada Fault Zone, and 5) Along the eastern coast in the Andhra Pradesh State, along the Godavari rift, including the outskirts of Vijayawada, Andhra’s commercial hub. The tool also has some fun new features, like a data center layer that assists with prospecting for developers, and a coal plant conversion layer. In conjunction with the development of GeoMap India, InnerSpace partnered with Aarti Industries Ltd. to perform an industrial heat geothermal conversion study on one of its manufacturing facilities in a region of interest, and has launched with the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) and a group of local partners “The Future of Geothermal in India,” a comprehensive study focused on catalyzing geothermal energy production in India. The study will be published in 2025.
