Zanskar develops AI-driven geothermal exploration technology, with the stated aim of making geothermal power the most affordable form of widely deployable, 24/7 carbon-free energy generation. Its technical work spans machine learning, geoscience and geophysical modelling, data science and field geology, applied to the problem of locating geothermal resources faster and with less risk than conventional exploration allows.
The company's central product is what it describes as the first full AI engine for geothermal exploration, turning a process that has historically been slow, expensive and uncertain into a repeatable, data-driven one. Every model is grounded in and tested against extensive real-world data. A geothermal discovery platform combines custom AI tools and geoscience models with boots-on-the-ground fieldwork, analysing large volumes of data to identify untapped geothermal hotspots.
Operations are focused on the Western United States, in the geothermal, renewable energy and energy exploration sectors. The team is composed of scientists, engineers, field crews, coders and problem-solvers, and works in both data and field settings. The company describes a culture suited to tough environments with undefined paths, oriented around a shared goal of unlocking what lies beneath the earth's surface.
