NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Magma Power LLC, a global leader in next-generation renewable energy solutions, proudly announces the issuance of its 20th U.S. patent, covering groundbreaking technology that enables the formation of multi-borehole well systems to harness energy directly from underground magma reservoirs. This innovative approach, which involves drilling primary and secondary boreholes into magma and utilizing a cooling fluid to form hardened magma walls, sets a new standard in geothermal energy extraction—delivering unprecedented access to ultra-high-temperature energy sources.
“This patent represents a critical step in overcoming one of geothermal energy’s biggest challenges: how to safely and efficiently access the immense heat of magma,” said KC Conner, lead inventor and Co-Founder of Magma Power. “By creating a network of boreholes that stabilize themselves through naturally hardened magma, we are not just drilling wells—we are engineering the future of renewable energy.”
The newly issued patent outlines methods and systems that include:
Drilling a primary borehole from the surface into an underground reservoir of magma.Drilling one or more secondary boreholes extending from the primary borehole into the magma reservoir at strategic angles.Injecting a cooling fluid into secondary boreholes to harden surrounding magma, creating a stable and durable borehole wall.Optionally applying a casing to the primary borehole for added structural integrity.Expanding the system with additional or multiple secondary boreholes in varying directions for maximum reservoir coverage.Integrating a fluid pump system to circulate heat transfer fluids, enabling efficient geothermal energy extraction for power generation.
“Accessing magma’s thermal energy has long been a dream for the renewable sector, but the risks and technical hurdles have been enormous—until now,” stated Levi Conner, CEO of Magma Power. “This patent allows us to drill deeper, smarter, and safer, utilizing a technique that transforms molten rock into a structural asset. By stabilizing boreholes with naturally hardened magma, we can reliably harness temperatures above 1,000 degrees Celsius, paving the way for baseload power at just 3 cents per kilowatt-hour—a breakthrough that redefines what’s possible in clean energy production.”
Key Patent Claims Include:
Method for forming a wellbore into an underground magma reservoir with primary and secondary boreholes.Cooling fluid injection to harden magma and form stable borehole walls.Application of casings for structural support.Angled drilling of secondary boreholes for optimized resource extraction.Capability to drill additional boreholes from the secondary boreholes.Development of multi-directional secondary boreholes for comprehensive reservoir utilization.Integration of a geothermal system with fluid pumps to harness and transfer energy.Enhanced designs for durability, efficiency, and operational longevity.
“Our goal is to convert one of nature’s most volatile elements into a reliable, carbon-free power source,” explained Richard McDonald, Chief Strategy Officer at Magma Power. “This patent embodies that vision. The multi-borehole approach not only increases energy capture from a single reservoir but also reduces drilling time and costs. With this technology, we’re unlocking vast geothermal potential that was previously inaccessible, giving industries and governments a sustainable solution to meet soaring energy demands.”
With this 20th issued patent, Magma Power continues to push the boundaries of clean energy innovation, developing solutions capable of delivering sustainable, ultra-low-cost power at massive scale. This achievement marks another significant step toward the company’s mission of transforming the global energy landscape through groundbreaking geothermal technologies.
Pioneering Global Energy Solutions
Magma Power LLC is now in advanced discussions with governments, land developers, power plant engineering firms, and a world-renowned drilling company to implement its groundbreaking Magma Power™ technology in a $20 billion project to develop the world’s largest AI data center powered entirely by renewable energy.
“The level of interest and collaboration we’re seeing from these partners highlights the transformative potential of Magma Power™,” said Richard McDonald, Chief Strategy Officer of Magma Power. “This AI data center will require 10 gigawatts of baseload power sourced directly from magma reservoirs, meeting the AI sector’s insatiable demand for low-cost, sustainable energy.”
McDonald further emphasized the comparative advantages of Magma Power™:
“Wind and solar simply cannot provide the stable, high-density baseload power needed for critical infrastructure like AI data centers. Nuclear, while viable, comes with long-term environmental and safety concerns. Magma Power™ is the only truly sustainable, scalable solution capable of powering civilization for thousands of years.”
This breakthrough comes on the heels of Magma Power’s newly issued patents, ensuring the scalability and reliability of its magma-based renewable energy technology. The company’s innovation is now at the forefront of solving the global energy crisis.
About Magma Power LLC
Magma Power LLC (MagmaPower.com), headquartered in Tampa, Florida, with additional offices in New York City and Houston, is a pioneering energy technology company dedicated to developing cutting-edge solutions for harnessing renewable energy.
Magma Power LLC has secured fourteen worldwide patents covering all aspects of the production of green energy, energy-intensive manufacturing, and green fuels using Magma Power™. Additionally, the company has filed forty-six global patents, with over 1,000 patent claims pending, making it the undisputed leader in magma power production.
Decades of research—including studies from Sandia National Laboratories in the 1970s—have confirmed that magma power is a virtually unlimited source of clean, renewable baseload energy. Sandia researchers concluded that magma power could meet the Earth’s energy needs for the next several thousand years.
Magma Power LLC has taken these initial insights and developed them into robust, patent-protected technology ready for commercial deployment. Given the limitations of wind and solar in providing stable baseload power, there is no long-term alternative to magma power for scalable renewable energy.
Magma Power is inevitable. It’s not a question of if magma power will power the Earth—but when. Energy is civilization, and the next several thousand years of civilization will be driven by Magma Power™.
