The geothermal application

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Power intensive industry operations involve clean energy applications including usage of geothermal energy. Application of geothermal energy has been successfully practiced in Iceland for multinational firms within the aluminum industry, and has accounted for about one fourth of all energy provision in the country. Firms within the power intensive industry in Iceland often use geothermal energy together with hydropower energy. Harnessing of geothermal resources involves minimal emission of geothermal gases, and current technology allows for reinjection of these gasses back to ground.
