sustainable & reliable
Quaise Energy is ushering in a new era of sustainable, reliable power with Project Obsidian, the world's first commercial deployment of superhot enhanced geothermal systems (EGS).
Clean power at scale
Located in Central Oregon, our flagship facility will initially supply 50 megawatts of reliable, zero-carbon baseload power, with plans to scale up to 250 megawatts and meet the rapidly growing demand for always-on energy.
new & proven Technology
Our use of new and proven technology will enable utility-scale projects that can compete with today’s most efficient power plants, while keeping costs competitive with fossil fuels, and prioritizing environmental stewardship
and community benefits.

Resource
]
The Earth’s crust holds an enormous reservoir of geothermal heat—constant, always available, and not impacted by weather or geopolitics. But until now, the deepest, hottest portions of this resource have been technically and economically out of reach.
[
Scale
]
Project Obsidian will redefine energy generation by making superhot geothermal accessible at scale. Our facility, set to come online in 2030, will harness new and proven technology to reach superhot temperatures, delivering reliable energy with a rare combination of zero-carbon emissions, firm baseload capacity, and location flexibility.

Energy Independence
Project Obsidian will provide a new, always-on source of energy for Central Oregon, helping reduce reliance on imported electricity and improving reliability during periods of peak demand and when hydroelectric output is low.
Wildlife and Fire Safety
As the project takes shape, careful consideration is being given to local habitats, wildlife movement, and native species, with superhot geothermal designed to take up less land while generating more energy. That means more space left for the surrounding landscape and the wildlife that depends on it.
It also maintains a strong focus on fire safety through coordination with the U.S. Forest Services, and regional partners to support preparedness, ensure firefighters and first responders are familiar with the site, and provide access to water, landing areas, and staging space in the event of a wildfire.
LIVING-WAGE JOBS
Quaise is committed to creating lasting benefits for the communities we serve. Project Obsidian will create living-wage jobs and generate needed tax revenues while building critical infrastructure necessary to reduce the rising cost of energy in Oregon.
POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT
Positive social impact is a core part of Quaise Energy’s mission. Beyond energy development, our work focuses on building partnerships and supporting local communities through engagement, philanthropy, and contributions that help support local schools and community priorities across Central Oregon.
Research & Education
Investments in research and education are a central part of that commitment. We are partnering with the Experimental Deep Geothermal Energy (EDGE) lab through Oregon State University’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) to better understand the underground conditions at Project Obsidian and those common to superhot geothermal systems.
LONG-TERM VALUE
Project Obsidian will generate public revenue through royalties and local taxes over time. These funds help support schools, public safety, and infrastructure such as roads and bridges across the region.
