A new branch in the States?
“Fervo Energy’s commitment to the advancement of geothermal energy – comments Paolo Bertuzzi, CEO and general director of Turboden – integrates perfectly with Turboden’s mission to drive innovation in sustainable energy. Together we are paving the way towards a cleaner, greener future. The success of this project, in addition to other initiatives in North America, prompted Turboden to consider opening an office in the United States. This strategic move will allow us to leverage the support of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, further enhancing our presence in the region.”
