Company Profile

Zanskar Geothermal & Minerals Inc is structured around the development of a technology platform designed to accelerate discovery and unlock the development of geothermal energy. The company's platform includes subsurface characterization technology and massive data sets, enhancing and reducing risk in the exploration of geothermal resources. While states and utilities are setting targets and mandates to increase renewable energy in the coming years, without dispatchable power sources to cover intermittency from wind and solar, these targets are not likely to be reached. Geothermal could be a reliable source of clean electricity generation - dispatchable on demand and cost-competitive - but currently represents only a tiny fraction of current US.electricity generation—less that 1%—largely due to the slow, high-risk and expense simply of locating geothermal resources. New exploration technologies are needed to accelerate discovery and to unlock development of this critical part of the clean energy resource mix. Zanskar is building a predictive platform informed by specialized subsurface characterization technology and massive data sets to improve and de-risk exploration of geothermal resources - with important recent breakthroughs in geophysical characterization of subsurface flow paths enabled by low-cost field-deployable sensor arrays -- making it possible to understand geothermal plumbing prior to drilling and development -- and having the potential unlock more than 50 gigawatts of geothermal potential in a few decades
