Fervo Energy partners with Nvidia, PNNL on geothermal digital twin

HOUSTON - Fervo Energy (NASDAQ:FRVO), NVIDIA, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory announced Monday an agreement to develop a digital twin platform for Enhanced Geothermal Systems technology called EGS-Twin, according to a press release statement. The geothermal developer, currently valued at nearly $10 billion, has seen its stock trade at $35.09 amid investor interest in clean energy infrastructure.

The platform will integrate real-time field data with physics-based modeling and AI-driven forecasting to provide insight into subsurface behavior and operational performance. PNNL researchers will use field data from Fervo to train AI models on NVIDIA infrastructure, with the trained models to be integrated into NVIDIA Omniverse libraries.

"We believe that digital twins will expedite the learning curve for geothermal development as we build and operate our GeoBlock assets," said Jack Norbeck, Fervo’s CTO and co-founder.

PNNL will develop workflows and data pipelines using high-performance computing, including U.S. Department of Energy supercomputing resources, to run large-scale simulations. The team will use field data from Fervo’s Nevada and Utah sites to train the digital twin, with the platform scheduled for implementation by 2029.

The collaboration aims to support deployment of carbon-free power to meet global energy demand. Fervo Energy develops enhanced geothermal systems for utility-scale power generation. Analysts forecast revenue growth of nearly 50% for the development-stage company, though InvestingPro data indicates the stock currently trades above its Fair Value estimate. Investors can access detailed financial health metrics and additional analysis through the platform.
