Transformative Technologies is making geothermal a big part of our energy abundant future, today.

We develop energy projects with two distinct types of geothermal. Thermal Energy Networks for heating and cooling campuses and communities. And power generation in sedimentary basins with breakthrough technology from Johns Hopkins University.

And we pair projects with elite academic partnerships, workforce development, and economic growth initiatives to accelerate the adoption of these technologies.

There’s been a major technological breakthrough in geothermal power at Johns Hopkins University.

The GTI GenaSys™ system efficiently harvests heat from existing water in deep, Hot Sedimentary Aquifers. HSAs are a globally abundant renewable resource, common in basins that the energy industry has explored, mapped, and produced fluids from for +100 years.

GenaSys™ produces firm, dispatchable, emission-free electricity, sustaining thermal longevity for decades of economical power production.

GenaSys™ is ideal for direct use, as well as firming wind and solar, and colocating with oil and gas to electrify operations. It was issued patents in 2024, and was recently awarded the state of Colorado’s first ever permits for deep geothermal.

Transformative Technologies develops energy projects with GenaSys™ and a suite of complementary energy technologies.

  • Geothermal Power Production
  • Organic Rankine Cycle Generators
  • Waste Heat Recovery Cogeneration
  • GSHP-Thermal Energy Networks

  • Dr. Stephen Browne

    CEO

    Dr. Stephen J. Browne is an experienced CEO having built successful businesses in multiple innovative, high tech disciplines. His expertise includes developing independent energy projects and bringing advanced technologies to global markets. Dr. Browne has a Ph.D. in Economics from MIT and an AB in Economics from Johns Hopkins University.

    As CEO of The Stanton Group, which he founded in 1986, he has promoted and developed new energy technologies and projects in the USA, former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and China. After developing renewable, waste to energy, and conventional facilities in the USA, culminating in a $250 million combined cycle gas power plant that subsequently was purchased by a major electric utility, in the early 1990’s Stanton moved its focus to developing energy projects in the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and then in the 21st Century began working intensively in China.

    Dr. Browne serves on the board of Geothermal Technologies Inc. where he has guided the technology development of the GenaSys™ system to market.
