EXCEED partners with turbine manufacturer for Infinity-Loop geothermal system
Exceed Geo Energy has partnered with Peregrine Turbine Technologies for the deployment of an innovative geothermal energy system using supercritical CO2.
Exceed Geo Energy (EXCEED) has entered into a strategic collaboration with innovative turbine manufacturer Peregrine Turbine Technologies (PTT) to deploy EXCEED’s Infinity-Loop geothermal energy system.
EXCEED’s Infinity-Loop system is based on the use of supercritical CO? (sCO?) as a working fluid, which significantly boosts heat extraction and power conversion—achieving up to 50% higher energy yields than conventional geothermal systems. This closed-loop system circulates sCO? through precision- engineered wellbores to extract heat from deep rock formations without releasing greenhouse gases with the possibility of sequestering carbon in the process.
The partnership leverages EXCEED’s expertise in deep horizontal drilling in ultra-high-temperature dry rock, coupled with advanced digital operations for predictive performance, system optimization, and reliability, as well as PTT’s specialization in advanced sCO? turbine development for power generation, energy storage, and propulsion.
Power is converted using PTT’s high-efficiency sCO? turbines, which outperform traditional steam turbines in efficiency, reliability, and compactness. Scalable from 10 to 50 MWe, PTT’s turbines are based on Brayton-cycle architecture and represent the next evolution in thermal power generation. Both companies’ systems are modular and scalable, making them ideal for rapid deployment and expansion.
In late 2024, EXCEED signed a partnership with Austin Energy to develop a 5-MW geothermal pilot project near the Nacogdoches biomass facility in Austin, Texas.
