Tekcapital portfolio company Vesari has appointed Dr Joseph N. Moore, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the geology and geochemistry of geothermal systems, to its newly formed Science Advisory Board.
Moore brings five decades of experience to the company, which is developing technology for a fully integrated, behind-the-meter, geothermal-powered hyperscale AI compute campus.
From 2014 to early 2026 he served as managing principal investigator of Utah’s FORGE, the approximately $300m, Department of Energy-funded field laboratory that stands as the flagship of US enhanced geothermal research.
He also led the successful Raft River EGS demonstration project in Idaho, which illustrated the importance of cold-water injection for enhancing reservoir permeability.
Dr. Joseph N. Moore, said: “Geothermal energy is uniquely suited to deliver the clean, firm, around-the-clock power that AI computing now demands. Vesari’s approach to pairing baseload geothermal generation directly with high-density compute is a compelling application of the science, and I look forward to contributing to the Company’s development.”
Vesari is assembling advisers with expertise across the three technical pillars of its platform: geothermal energy, hyperscale power and heat management, and low-Earth-orbit satellite laser data transmission.
The appointment follows the company’s recent filing of eleven US patent applications and the launch of a capital markets strategy exploring a potential reverse merger or de-SPAC transaction.
Vesari is Tekcapital’s fifth technology company, sitting alongside MicroSalt, GenIP, Innovative Eyewear and Guident.
