Tekcapital (LSE:TEK) (AIM: TEK), the UK intellectual property investment group, announced the appointment as part of a portfolio company update on Vesari Inc.
Vesari is developing a fully integrated, behind-the-meter, geothermal-powered hyperscale AI compute campus.
Dr. Moore spent five decades in geothermal research, most recently leading Utah's Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) as Managing Principal Investigator from 2014 until early 2026.
FORGE is an approximately $300 million, Department of Energy-funded laboratory for testing enhanced geothermal system (EGS) technologies, and is considered the flagship US programme in the field.
He previously led the Raft River EGS Demonstration Project in Idaho, which demonstrated cold-water injection as a technique for improving reservoir permeability.
His honours include the Geothermal Resources Council Pioneer Award, the Joseph W. Aidlin Award and the Henry J. Ramey, Jr. Geothermal Reservoir Engineering Award.
Vesari is building out its Science Advisory Board across three technical areas: geothermal energy, hyperscale power and heat management, and low-Earth-orbit satellite laser data transmission.
Clifford M. Gross, Executive Chairman of Tekcapital, called Dr. Moore's appointment invaluable to guiding Vesari's subsurface and reservoir strategy, adding he is "the first of several distinguished advisors we look forward to welcoming to Vesari's Science Advisory Board."
Dr. Moore said geothermal energy is "uniquely suited to deliver the clean, firm, around-the-clock power that AI computing now demands."
