Magma Power is Inevitable. It's not a question of if magma power will power the Earth – but when.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Magma Power LLC, a global developer and licensor of Magma Power technology, proudly announces that is has been granted its 14th U.S. Patent on its revolutionary magma power technology.

"We are in preliminary discussions to use Magma Power technology to build the world's largest AI data center powered entirely by renewable energy," says Richard McDonald, Chief Strategy Officer of Magma Power, LLC.

Magma Power, LLC says the AI data center, to be developed by Magma Power's global consortium partners, would consume 10 gigawatts of power directly sourced from magma reservoirs. The total investment is expected to be over $20 billion.

"The power demand from AI is insatiable and Magma Power is the answer for renewable, baseload, and virtually unlimited power," McDonald says.

Goldman Sachs estimates that by 2030 data center power demand will be over 1,000 terra-watt hours (TWh). This equates to over 80 gigawatts of installed power. "Our magma-powered AI data center could meet over 10 percent of the global AI power demand by 2030," McDonald says, "all without emitting a single molecule of carbon or burning a single ounce of fossil fuels."

"Wind, solar, and nuclear all have significant drawbacks when it comes to providing the low-cost baseload renewable power that Magma Power provides," says McDonald. "Wind and solar do not provide the baseload power that is required to run a data center. And Magma power has none of the long-term environmental impacts of nuclear power," McDonald says.

Magma Power, LLC's 14th U.S. patent covers a proprietary system designed to safely and efficiently extract geothermal energy from magma reservoirs. This cutting-edge technology represents a significant leap forward in sustainable energy solutions, enabling the formation and maintenance of underground magma chambers for scalable energy production.

With this patented system, Magma Power is uniquely positioned as the only company to redefine geothermal energy by unlocking the vast potential of magma reservoirs, making renewable energy more accessible and cost-effective worldwide.

Magma Power's patented technology can be applied across a range of industries, offering transformative renewable energy solutions for:

• Baseload Grid Power: Power grids worldwide are increasingly struggling with the intermittent nature of wind and solar. Magma Power solves this problem with virtually unlimited basedload renewable power.
• AI Data Centers: As AI computing power demands soar, Magma Power's low-cost, constant energy supply is the ideal solution for powering data centers 24/7.
• Bitcoin Mining: Energy-intensive bitcoin mining operations will benefit from reliable, low-cost power, enabling sustainable and profitable mining at scale.
• Green Fuels: Magma Power enables the production of green hydrogen, ammonia, and kerosene, providing a carbon-neutral alternative for transportation and industrial sectors.
• Energy-Intensive Manufacturing including renewable energy solutions for steel, aluminum, chemical, and cement manufacturing.

8. Molten Salt Use: The use of molten salt as a pressurized fluid for optimal heat transfer and energy efficiency.
9. Multi-Stage Operations: The ability to sustain cavity formation and maintenance under varying pressures and flow rates.
10. Advanced Structural Stability: Formation of a cavity that remains stable through precise engineering and fluid management.
11. Pressure Threshold Management: Ensuring pressure differences between injected fluids and surrounding magma remain below a specific threshold to prevent structural failure.
12. Adaptability: The system supports various geothermal conditions and site requirements, enhancing scalability.
13. Enhanced Wellbore Design: Coupling the fluid conduit to casings for additional stability and operational efficiency.
14. System Redundancy: Integration of backup systems to ensure continuous operations and prevent disruptions.
15. Scalable Energy Production: The system supports energy production capacities tailored to specific project needs, providing up to 40 MW per well.
16. Environmental Safety: Reduced risk of environmental impact through precision engineering and controlled operations.
17. Durability: Long-term viability of the chamber through innovative heat transfer processes.
18. Resource Optimization: Efficient use of geothermal resources through advanced fluid dynamics.
19. Global Applicability: A design adaptable to diverse geological conditions worldwide.
