Mantle, a Hunt Innovative Technologies spinout, uses groundbreaking techniques to create heat in oil and gas formations to extract more oil from reservoirs than traditional methods—along with geothermal energy, which offers a lower carbon baseload power. The method could unlock as much as 90% of the reservoir potential previously left behind, Mantle said.
Amazon's low Earth orbit constellation of broadband satellites will enable Hunt to digitize and modernize its operations, "even in the most remote environments around the world." The collaboration also fuels the launch of Skyward "to empower others with strong and reliable connectivity," CEO Hunter Hunt said.
The long-term collaboration between the Irving- and Dallas-based companies aims to meet the energy demands of always-on data centers, with the first project to launch in Texas.

DirectH2 said the funding will accelerate the development and commercialization of its cutting-edge hydrogen solutions in collaboration with Houston-based Rice University—addressing critical challenges in the clean energy sector.
A spinout from Dallas' Hunt Innovative Technologies, WATTER's high-tech water heaters enable cloud computing to "generate revenue while heating your water, delivering net zero computing." The solution aims to reduce demand on the grid while "bringing economic value to homeowners and businesses alike."

The communications firm accepted the Telly Awards for work on behalf of its clients, two of them in North Texas. The award showcases the best work created within television and across video, for all screens. Here are links to all the winners.
Dallas-based Hunt Perovskite Technologies, part of Hunt Consolidated Inc, is one of the 22 selected for a new program from the DOE dedicated to making perovskite photovoltaic devices commercially available. If validated, the tech could make solar cells more efficient at a lower cost—but first, the projects have to overcome the issue of it being too unstable to commercially use.
