EXCEED Energy Inc. and Peregrine Turbine Technologies (PTT) have announced a strategic collaboration to deploy EXCEED’s next-generation Infinity- Loop™ geothermal energy system—an innovative platform combining advanced subsurface drilling, surface energy conversion, and integrated carbon sequestration.
At the heart of the Infinity-Loop™ is the use of supercritical CO₂ (sCO₂) 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 sCO₂ through precision- engineered wellbores to extract heat from deep rock formations without releasing greenhouse gases, delivering sustainable, emission-free energy while 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.
Power is converted using PTT’s high-efficiency sCO₂ turbines, which outperform traditional steam turbines in efficiency, reliability, and compactness. Scalable from 10 to 50 megawatts (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.
With a land-use footprint of just 1,000 square feet per MW, EXCEED’s geothermal facilities offer a dramatically lower spatial impact compared to wind, solar, and traditional baseload technologies— unlocking new opportunities for clean, reliable power generation in space-constrained or environmentally sensitive areas.
This collaboration reflects a shared vision: to redefine geothermal energy through carbon-negative, baseload power and long-duration energy storage. The system is ideally suited for a wide range of applications—from data centers and utilities to industrial facilities, critical infrastructure, and remote or off-grid communities.
