Tim Latimer is the Co-Founder and CEO of Fervo Energy (NASDAQ: FRVO), a publicly-traded geothermal energy company that generates 24/7 carbon-free electricity using Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). In this conversation, recorded in 2021, Tim traces his path from drilling engineer to entrepreneur and the earliest days of building a company few investors believed in.

Tim Latimer is the Co-Founder and CEO of Fervo Energy. Tim was previously a drilling engineer with BHP where he worked in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins. With a growing appreciation of the urgency of climate change, Tim left the petroleum industry in 2015 to pursue an MBA/MS in Environment and Resources from Stanford University where he launched Fervo Energy, a next-generation geothermal developer. Tim also holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tulsa and is a native of Texas.

"We're calling the 2020s the geothermal decade because we see policy, finance, market, and technology line up for the first time in a long time. It really is an inflection point for the industry where it's time to take off."
