Eden’s Post

Accessing geothermal energy, hydrogen, and critical minerals from underground requires breaking rock. For decades, the industry used hydraulic fracturing, pumping millions of gallons of water and chemicals underground. Paris Smalls, PhD spent his PhD at MIT researching how to break rocks with high-voltage electricity instead. The method uses electricity rather than water and chemicals, with more precise control over where and how rock fractures. He founded Eden in 2017 while completing his geophysics doctorate at MIT. The company's Electrical Reservoir Stimulation technology works in water-scarce regions where traditional hydraulic fracturing can't operate. It provides access to geothermal energy, hydrogen, and critical minerals through a cleaner process. Eden has raised over $15 million and secured over $1 million in customer contracts across mining, geothermal, and energy sectors. Paris Smalls was recently selected to join the Unreasonable Impact Americas 2025 program, a collaboration between Unreasonable and Barclays dedicated to scaling businesses that merge profit and impact. Through this program, Eden will gain access to world-class mentorship, resources, and a powerful global network to accelerate its growth and maximize its impact.
