By adapting oil-and-gas drilling techniques to geothermal wells, Latimer built Fervo Energy into a $244 million-backed company already powering Google's Nevada data centers — and a credible answer to cleantech's unsolved baseload problem.
Tim Latimer is the Co-Founder and CEO of Fervo Energy, a Houston-based company pioneering next-generation geothermal energy technology by applying techniques from the oil and gas industry to dramatically reduce costs and expand the viability of geothermal power.
Fervo has been named to the Global Cleantech 100 four consecutive years and has attracted major partnerships, including a landmark geothermal project powering Google's data centers in Nevada. The company raised a $244 million equity round to develop a Utah plant expected to be operational by 2026. Fervo's approach addresses one of cleantech's biggest challenges: providing 24/7 clean baseload power that solar and wind cannot. Latimer's background in petroleum engineering gives him unique insight into how to adapt proven drilling and completion techniques for clean energy applications. His work is attracting attention from major technology companies seeking reliable clean energy for data centers.
