At Factor2 Energy, we are on a mission to revolutionize the geothermal market. Our vision is to scale the global geothermal potential rapidly and to provide 24/7, green energy at competitive rates by utilizing CO2 as working fluid.
“Work smarter, not harder!” Our approach uses CO₂ as the working fluid in geothermal power generation – enabling emission-free, efficient, and baseload-capable electricity. By repurposing geological formations that either naturally contain CO₂ or are designated for carbon capture and storage (CCS), we transform passive storage sites into active, sustainable energy resources. Our technology leverages the unique thermophysical properties of CO₂ to unlock significantly more viable sites than conventional geothermal energy – without fracking, without new drilling technologies, and by building on existing infrastructure and know-how.
Actually, it’s “Work smarter and harder!” The climate crisis is the greatest challenge in human history! We are looking for highly motivated and ambitious individuals who want to be part of the solution and have a sustainable impact.
