We, the undersigned members of Geothermal Rising, nominate CARBO (www.carbo.tech) to the Geothermal Rising Board of Directors, represented by Max Nikolaev, Chief Commercial Officer.
The problem. Enhanced and Advanced Geothermal Systems only scale if fractures stay open and conductive under extreme heat, pressure, and aggressive chemistry. That is a materials problem at its core, and the geothermal community needs that expertise represented on the board.
Why CARBO. Our GeoPROP portfolio (GeoPROP, GeoPROP NANO, GeoPROP MAX, GeoPROP AIR) is an engineered ceramic proppant built specifically to keep EGS and AGS reservoirs producing where conventional sand degrades. GeoPROP NANO penetrates microfractures that conventional proppants cannot reach and is fired above 1500°C to withstand conditions that dissolve sand. This is the unlocking layer for commercial geothermal at scale.
The bench. CARBO's Chief Technology Officer, Terry Palisch, served as 2024 President of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. As a recent Geothermal Rising member, CARBO is moving deliberately from oil-and-gas adjacency to a core geothermal contribution.
The ask. Add a materials and commercialization operator to the board: someone who connects subsurface engineering, manufacturing scale, and project economics. Sign to endorse this nomination.

CARBO is working to bring great value to the EGS environment through materials that will sustain the well life and therefore the infrastructure of the surface level power plant.
Improved conductivity of fractures and conformance control of fluid down these fractures will be critical to project economics and the future of EGS.
have CARBO representation in Geothermal Rising Board
CARBO is an excellent company with development and technology that can only contribute knowledge and benefits by being here.
Geothermal energy is unlimited source
Carbo is a top tier technology company that must be here.
CARBO provides unique R&D and decades of fit for purpose materials that will be key for EGS success

CARBO's strengths of large scale manufacturing of proppant and developing solutions for downhole challenges will help EGS move forward.
