About Us

Lava develops a breakthrough thermodynamic platform that converts heat to electricity, and electricity back to heating and cooling, with unprecedented efficiency. At the core of Lava’s technology is isothermal thermodynamic cycle, delivering more than 30% efficiency gains over conventional steam turbines and heat pumps.
The platform is modular and highly versatile, enabling applications across geothermal power generation, industrial waste heat recovery, data center cooling, district heating and cooling, and long-duration thermal energy storage (Carnot batteries). By keeping the working gas hot for longer during expansion, Lava extracts significantly more useful energy from the same heat source while reducing system complexity, capital cost, and operational losses.
Designed for industrial-scale deployment, Lava’s systems offer fast payback periods and can integrate into existing infrastructure, supporting utilities, data centers, heavy industry, and energy-intensive facilities in cutting emissions while improving energy resilience and economics

Relevant Challenges

Energy Production

We enable low-carbon electricity generation by dramatically improving the efficiency of converting heat into power. Our isothermal heat engine extracts significantly more electricity from geothermal resources, industrial waste heat, and combined-cycle power setups, reducing fuel consumption and associated CO₂ emissions. By upgrading existing thermal assets rather than replacing them, we deliver immediate emissions reductions with minimal infrastructure disruption

Energy Storage

Our technology underpins high-efficiency Carnot battery systems, converting electricity into stored thermal energy and back again with superior round-trip performance. This enables long-duration energy storage suited for grid balancing, industrial sites, and data centers, supporting renewable integration and providing flexible, dispatchable energy without reliance on scarce materials or conventional batteries
