About Us

Advancing state policies that help scale geothermal energy

InnerSpace Action transforms Project InnerSpace’s research and momentum into direct legislative and regulatory policies that scale geothermal electricity, industrial heat, building heating and cooling, and thermal energy networks.

Two organizations, one mission

Project InnerSpace is a 501(c)(3)

Project InnerSpace is a research nonprofit dedicated to removing the major barriers standing in the way of exponential global growth of geothermal energy.

InnerSpace Action is a 501(c)(4)

InnerSpace Action is a partner organization created to transform that research into direct legislative and regulatory wins for geothermal electricity, industrial heat, building heating and cooling, and thermal energy networks.

Building on Project InnerSpace’s work

Project InnerSpace has been building the research, data, and policy foundation for broader deployment of next-generation geothermal since before it became a mainstream topic. That work began by bringing together oil and gas engineers, geothermal startups, and policymakers to explore what it would take to move next-generation geothermal from an emerging technology to a scalable energy resource.
