Quaise, Inc is developing a millimeter-wave drilling system for converting existing power stations to use superdeep geothermal energy. The system would repurpose existing gyrotron technology to drill 20 kilometers beneath the surface, where temperatures exceed 400 °C. No fracking would be required, avoiding the potential for earthquakes that have occurred in other geothermal systems.
