Transformative Technologies surpass incremental, and even exponential advancements; they fundamentally change the systems in which they operate.

We commercialize them for tomorrow’s energy sector.

In concert with product development through our sister company, the Stanton Group, Transformative Technologies develops energy projects, from FOAK to Commercial Liftoff, at campus, community, and government scales.

Alongside these commercial projects, programs address market Adoption Readiness Levels through novel business models, academic partnerships, community engagement, public policy advocacy, workforce development, small business accelerators, and industry Centers of Excellence.

There’s been a major technological breakthrough in geothermal power at Johns Hopkins University.

The GTI GenaSys™ system efficiently harvests heat from existing water in deep, Hot Sedimentary Aquifers, a well mapped and globally abundant renewable resource. It produces firm, dispatchable, emission-free electricity, economically, for decades before allowing the resource to naturally recharge for future harvests.

GenaSys™ is ideal for direct use, as well as for stabilizing the buildout of wind and solar. It was issued patents in 2024, and was recently awarded the state of Colorado’s first ever permits for deep geothermal.

Today, we are developing commercial projects with GenaSys™ and innovations across an interoperable suite of clean energy technologies.
