24/7 baseload
Geothermal heat is constant. No diurnal cycle, no weather dependency — the only renewable that matches the always-on duty cycle of GPU clusters.

Always-on energy
for the AI era.
Himalia builds geothermal-powered infrastructure beneath India — delivering 24/7 baseload energy to hyperscale AI data centers, sovereign cloud regions, and the compute economy of the next decade.

02 — Thesis
AI is the largest energy
problem of our time.
Every frontier model trained in the next decade will demand uninterrupted gigawatt-scale power. Solar drops at sunset. Wind is intermittent. Coal is incompatible with India’s climate commitments. Geothermal is the only baseload renewable that runs continuously — and Himalia is building it directly underneath the data center.
02
Compute-first design
Power, cooling, and the data-hall are engineered as a single thermal system — sub-station to rack. No bolt-on retrofits.
03
Predictable economics
Fixed-price 25-year PPAs decoupled from fuel volatility — the energy cost per token is locked at financial close.
04
Zero-water cooling option
Closed-loop wells enable dry-cooled campuses — critical for water-stressed regions like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
03 — Platform
The Himalia stack.
A vertically integrated platform — from sub-surface reservoir to AI-orchestrated workload. Every layer is instrumented, observable, and tuned for compute.
L7
AI Workload Orchestration
GPU scheduling co-optimized with reservoir output, ambient temp, and grid-feedback signals.
L6
Hyperscale Data Hall
120 kW/rack air & liquid hybrid. Modular 5 MW PODs scaling to 100 MW+ campuses.
L5
Closed-loop Thermal Exchange
Waste heat recycled into ORC stage 2 generation — pushing campus PUE below 1.10.
L4
Binary ORC Power Block
Modular 5–20 MW Organic Rankine units — black-start capable, islandable from the central grid.
L3
Engineered Geothermal Reservoir
Closed-loop wells, 3–5 km depth, 160–220°C. Reservoir-twin simulated continuously by Himalia OS.
L2
Subsurface Intelligence
Seismic, magnetotelluric and satellite-derived heat-flux models fused into a unified earth-twin.
L1
Himalia OS
The control plane that closes the loop between subsurface dynamics and AI workload telemetry.
04 — Capacity
Modular by design.
Hyperscale by ambition.
Himalia campuses are deployed in 5 MW PODs and stitched together at the substation — allowing a single site to grow from a 20 MW training cluster to a 100 MW+ regional compute hub without redesign.

India will host the next
trillion tokens.
India’s data center capacity will grow 5× by 2030. Himalia is mapping the country’s geothermal corridors — from the Western Ghats to the Himalayan belt — to anchor sovereign AI compute on always-on clean power.

06 — Technology
Engineered from the
subsurface up.
Eleven proprietary systems — one continuous control loop from the reservoir to the GPU. Designed by engineers from the energy, semiconductor, and cloud worlds.
Reservoir intelligence01
Earth-twin simulation
A continuous physics simulation of every reservoir Himalia operates — fused from seismic, magnetotelluric, and InSAR data. The twin forecasts thermal drawdown years before it is measurable in the field.
Control plane02
Himalia OS
The unified operating system that schedules AI workloads against live reservoir output, ambient cooling load, and grid carbon intensity.

Thermal exchange03
Closed-loop cooling
Direct-to-chip liquid cooling tied into a binary ORC stage — turning waste GPU heat into recovered electricity.
Power block04
Modular ORC units
5 MW Organic Rankine modules, factory-built, trucked to site. A 100 MW campus is assembled — not constructed.
Grid integration05
Islandable substation
Black-start capable. Himalia campuses can operate independently of the central grid during disturbance events.
Predictive systems06
Reservoir forecasting
ML-augmented inversion of 24 sensor streams per well — predicting output 90 days ahead.
Compute fabric07
Composable AI fabric
OCP-aligned racks, 120 kW liquid-cooled, RDMA fabric ready for trillion-parameter training.
07 — Impact
Green compute,
measured honestly.
Every megawatt-hour Himalia delivers is independently metered and disclosed. No offsets, no certificates, no asterisks.
