Iceland and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Iceland and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
<strong>Energy</strong> Facts about Iceland<br />
• Iceland is a volcanic island and a micro-state surrounded by<br />
the North-Atlantic Ocean, 103.000 km2 <strong>in</strong> size, with a total<br />
population of only 312.000 <strong>in</strong>habitants<br />
• Dur<strong>in</strong>g the course of the 20th Century Iceland changed from<br />
be<strong>in</strong>g among Europe’s poorest countries, depend<strong>in</strong>g upon<br />
peat and imported coal for its energy, to a country with the<br />
world highest liv<strong>in</strong>g standard (with Norway)<br />
• Nearly 100% of electricity generation and about 80% of the<br />
primary energy comes from <strong>in</strong>digenous renewable energy<br />
sources, highest of any country
<strong>Energy</strong> Facts about Iceland<br />
• > 90% of all build<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> Iceland are heated up by geothermal<br />
waters<br />
• The rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g 20% of current primary energy needs <strong>in</strong><br />
Iceland is met by imported fossil fuel – used <strong>in</strong> transportation<br />
and fish<strong>in</strong>g<br />
• Iceland is now on a mission to elim<strong>in</strong>ate the use of fossil fuels<br />
over the next few decades
RES - the <strong>School</strong> for <strong>Renewable</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Science</strong><br />
• RES is a <strong>in</strong>dependent <strong>in</strong>stitution of higher learn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
(graduate school) <strong>in</strong> the field of renewable energy science<br />
and technology<br />
• RES is affiliated with both University of Iceland and<br />
University of Akureyri – accreditation and degree grant<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>stitutions<br />
• RES is operated by Orkuvördur Ltd. which is partly owned<br />
by the two universities as well as several Icelandic energy<br />
companies, regional development <strong>in</strong>stitutions and<br />
