- kreelman 4y agoThis is a pretty good video on the same thing. This is the "Undecided with Matt Ferrell" channel on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8sjdOjNxIE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8sjdOjNxIE There are the usual adds, but nothing unusual in that respect. Seems like a pretty good summary.
- joak 4y agoPretty cool startup. Digging 20km deep holes, and only in 3-4 months, this would be amazing.
- svantana 4y agoMe too, though I think "supercritical" only refers to the water temperature they are targeting, >373 C [1]. The company name is Quaise Energy. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_water_oxidation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_water_oxidation
