Glacier energy: how it works in Iceland and what are its capacities

People have been looking for alternative energy sources for a long time. In particular, in some countries they have learned to extract it not only from the air and the sun, but also from under the ice.

Iceland has become an example of successful use of renewable energy sources, in particular geothermal energy, to solve environmental and economic problems. Channel 24 writes about this with a link to ecoticias.com.

How geothermal energy is used in Iceland

Today, almost 90% of the country's homes are heated by geothermal energy, and heavy industry, such as aluminum smelting, actively uses it to generate electricity.

Iceland has become a world leader and consultant in the field of “green” technologies. Thanks to the training programs, hundreds of professionals from developing countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya and Turkey have gained the knowledge to implement geothermal energy in their countries. This allows spreading the ideas of sustainable development far beyond the borders of Iceland.

Challenges and prospects

Despite the successes, Iceland faces challenges: by 2060, the production of geothermal energy will need to double, which will require significant investment in the exploration of new sources. However, the country continues to work on increasing the efficiency and sustainability of its geothermal systems, demonstrating how to better use resources to preserve the environment.

Iceland is an example of energy self-sufficiency and sustainable innovation. It shows that renewable energy sources can not only change people's lives, but also become the key to solving global environmental problems. Her experience serves as inspiration for other countries that strive to achieve a “green” future.
