Eden Geopower

eden geopower, inc. is a renewable energy company founded by a group of mit and lsu students in april of 2017. the vision of our company is to develop new technologies to transform low-grade heat from depleted oil and gas reservoirs to sources of geothermal power. the power generated at these marginal well sites will be used to replace diesel generators during ongoing oil field operations, or sold to the grid in power purchase agreements. we are developing new technologies to use the latent heat in non-producing oil wells to operate a supercritical power cycle running within the wellbore. in this design, hot brine is pulled from deep within the reservoir and interacts with a secondary working fluid with a much lower boiling point in a downhole heat exchanger (dhe). as the working fluid changes phase, it passes through a turbine-generator assembly placed in the well, generating electricity on it’s way to the surface. the increase of hydrostatic pressure with depth in the wellbore allows
