Quaise Energy

Quaise Energy is a deep-geothermal energy company and MIT spinout, founded in 2018 by Carlos Araque and Matthew Houde out of a decade of millimeter-wave research by Paul Woskov at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center. Quaise is developing millimeter-wave (MMW) drilling — using a gyrotron to vaporize rather than grind rock — to reach supercritical conditions several kilometers down, where temperatures approach 500 degrees C, and to convert existing fossil-fuel power stations to superhot geothermal baseload. The company drilled 100 meters with the technique at its Central Texas field site in 2025. Quaise is an energy and hardware company: it publishes no developer program, no public API, and no machine-readable API contract. Its only public web application is a levelized-cost-of-energy (LCOE) calculator whose full functionality sits behind an AWS Cognito login.

Quaise Energy is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Energy, Geothermal, Clean Energy, and Drilling.

Quaise Energy’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 8 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/quaise-energy: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
