Quaise's ultra-deep geothermal drilling plans
"These are some neat technologies, but we're looking forward to seeing how they work in the real world. If GA's drilling advances can truly put cost-competitive geothermal power plants more or less anywhere you want one, this tech could make a huge contribution to global energy production and the race to zero carbon emissions by 2050. And if Quaise hits its targets, the results could be even more significant."
"Quaise's ultra-deep geothermal power plan is one of the most exciting and fascinating green energy projects we've seen. In a nutshell, this Boston-based MIT spin-off says it has repurposed powerful millimeter-wave beam technology – originally developed to superheat plasma in fusion experiments – to blast through previously undrillable rock far below the Earth's surface."

Quaise Energy
https://www.quaise.energy/
Based on breakthrough fusion research and well-established drilling practices, we are developing a radical new approach to ultra-deep drilling. First, we use conventional rotary drilling to get to basement rock. Then, we switch to high-power millimeter waves to reach unprecedented depths. Our gyrotron-powered drilling platform vaporizes boreholes through rock and provides access to deep geothermal heat without complex downhole equipment.

Bloomberg Re Quaise Energy
https://www.bloomberg.com/press-rele...thermal-energy
Snippet: “The ubiquity and constancy of deep geothermal energy is tantalizing but economically inaccessible with conventional drilling technologies,” said Allison Hinckley, Senior Associate at Fine Structure Ventures. “Quaise’s radically different drilling technology offers a path to access this resource at a global scale with commensurate reductions in carbon emissions.”

I did this page a long time ago. It might still be of use.

Quaise Energy update
New funding ($21m) will expand field operations and secure supply chain toward clean energy abundance
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts—Quaise Energy, the company unlocking terawatt-scale geothermal, announced today the closing of a $21 Million Series A1 financing round led by Prelude Ventures and Safar Partners. Mitsubishi Corporation and Standard Investments are among several new investors participating in the round. This latest funding will enhance Quaise field operations and strengthen the company’s supply chain position, while ongoing product development will continue with pre-existing capital. https://cleantechnica.com/2024/03/12...hermal-energy/
