About Us

Eden is pioneering sustainable natural resource recovery by using electricity to enhance subsurface permeability. Our Electrical Reservoir Stimulation technology offers a precise water-efficient alternative to traditional hydraulic fracturing reducing environmental risks while maximizing resource extraction.

Backed by leading public and private institutions we have raised $24M including $14M in dilutive capital from industry leaders such as Anglo American and Helmerich & Payne along with climate-focused investors like the Grantham Foundation. Additionally we have secured $10M in non-dilutive funding primarily through four DOE ARPA-E grants that support our R&D in frontier industries.

Headquartered in Somerville MA and with an office in Houston TX Edens team of 16 experts specializes in geophysics geochemistry high-voltage engineering and subsurface tool design. We are actively demonstrating our next-generation permeability enhancement technology across diverse geologies worldwide collaborating with industry leaders in geothermal energy geologic hydrogen carbon storage and mining to redefine resource recovery for a carbon-neutral future.

Looking ahead we are preparing for field tests in cooperation with our supportive technical partners.
