EnviTrace Named Emerging Local Hero: Advancing Geothermal Energy and Clean Energy Innovation in New Mexico
Last week, our team had the privilege of attending Power Beneath Our Feet: Geothermal Energy in New Mexico, a premier event showcasing geothermal energy innovations, clean energy solutions, and renewable energy leadership. The gathering brought together innovators, researchers, policymakers, advocates, and curious community members - driving the future of clean energy in New Mexico and the Southwest. The room was filled with momentum; people exchanging ideas, forming energy sector partnerships, and imagining what’s possible when New Mexico leads boldly in geothermal power development.
Amid the excitement, the EnviTrace team was honored to receive the Emerging Local Hero Award, a recognition that highlights our contributions to sustainable energy solutions, community collaboration, and local economic development.
A Milestone Rooted in Local Impact
When we started EnviTrace, our mission was clear: create real impact by working hand-in-hand with our community. We’ve always believed that progress happens fastest when people, organizations, and ideas come together with shared purpose.
Being named an Emerging Local Hero reflects far more than our work as a company. It highlights:
The partners who trust us in geothermal and renewable energy projects
The collaborators who challenge and inspire us in clean energy innovation
Local leaders who champion sustainable energy development in New Mexico
Community members who believe in a more resilient and sustainable Southwest
This recognition is truly a shared achievement.
A Night of Connection and Momentum
At the event, we were inspired by the energy and expertise within New Mexico’s geothermal energy community. Leaders highlighted the growing potential of geothermal technologies, the importance of responsible entrepreneurship, and the role local innovators play in evolving the renewable energy industry.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the organizers, hosts, speakers, facilitators, and volunteers who made the event exceptional - including Creative Santa Fe, the UNM Anderson Center for Responsible Entrepreneurship, the City of Santa Fe Office of Economic Development, and the many experts who shared insights throughout the evening.

Community Is Our Advantage
The recognition from UNM Anderson School of Management and Creative Santa Fe reinforces something we’ve known from day one: New Mexico thrives when renewable energy leaders collaborate. Every conversation, shared idea, and new partnership strengthens our work - and the work of the entire geothermal energy sector.
We’re grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey so far - and we’re just getting started!
What’s Next
This award fuels our commitment to continue advancing geothermal energy innovation, supporting local economic growth, and strengthening the partnerships that make meaningful progress possible.
We’re energized by the momentum and excited to share more soon - new projects, new collaborations, and new opportunities to build a clean energy future for New Mexico and the Southwest.
