It is time for the geothermal industry to take its place as an obvious part of the energy mix. Geothermal should be the new normal, becoming as standard to the energy mix as goretex is for outdoor clothes. Right now, everything is in the industry’s favor to move from niche to mainstream. We have no time to waste and no excuse for not picking up the pace here and now. Together with Chevron we believe that the transition to a greener planet, with the help of geothermal, is going to be much faster.

We were so excited to be a featured speaker during CERAWeek because it’s really a ‘who’s who’ of global energy markets. Since we were amongst so many industry leaders, we really wanted to capitalize by recording these episodes of The Switch while at CERAWeek.
Alexander Helling, CEO of Baseload Capital
Through these interviews and our entire week at CERAWeek, it is clear that the global energy market is not black and white. It’s not clean energy versus ‘big oil and gas. There is a lot of grey area, and to move forward towards green energies we all need to cooperate on all levels. The Switch podcast is one way to find common ground between industries
Kristina Hagström Ilievska, CMO of Baseload Capital
We are very excited to launch this series and really drive the conversation about geothermal energy. At Baseload we feel like the industry really just needs more continual exposure in order to really grow. So, rather than having one seminar or summit per year, with Coffee with Baseload we aim to keep the conversation going.
Kristina Hagström Ilievska, CMO of Baseload Capital
“The Switch is going to be more than a podcast. We’re creating a fast-paced, broad, and entertaining show with a wide range of guests. Our goal is to make The Switch the number one hub for knowledge exchange on the topic of renewables and clean transition.”

Alexander Helling, CEO of Baseload Capital
Although the pandemic forced us to think of new ways to showcase our projects, we plan to maintain this course after the pandemic is over. Using VR, investors will eventually be able to tour all our power plants from Iceland to Asia, in one hour, with no carbon emissions. It’s the perfect way for us to be innovative, get the message out about our capabilities, and reduce our carbon footprint - all at the same time.
Alexander Helling, CEO Baseload Capital
I believe that we will look back and see 2020 as the year that accelerated geothermal. The global pandemic has shown us that we can make a difference in CO2 levels by changing how we consume energy. For the Baseload Team, this has only fueled our dream of a planet in balance and the urgency of rolling out affordable, renewable baseload energy. However, to be successful, we must find new partners to learn from and collaborate with. A virtual seminar is the perfect way to do this.
Alexander Helling, CEO, Baseload Capital

For business owners, it is a relief to have income from two different sources. Now, when the tourist business is down, I will still have money coming in from the power being generated from the Climeon heat power plant
Ms. Midori Mizunami, Midori Onsen owner
It is almost unprecedented to bring a power plant from idea to completion in 18 months, regardless of power source, if we can accomplish this in Japan, which is known as one of the toughest markets in the world to enter, there’s no reason we can’t replicate it elsewhere.
Alexander Helling. CEO Baseload Capital
This is an incredibly important milestone for Climeon, together with our partners at Baseload Capital, we are now contributing to the energy transition in Japan by turning hot water into clean electricity.
Thomas Öström, CEO Climeon
The ability to harness heat power will help Japan transition to a green baseload more quickly, it is proof that we can create energy without contributing to global warming, and it puts our nation on the path to energy independence.
