Iceland Geothermal Cluster initiative

is an industry-driven cluster c o o p e r a t i o n in the field of

g e o t h e r m a l energy in Iceland.

The Cluster is a single point of contact in the Icelandic energy sector. The purpose of the organization is to stimulate com-petitiveness within the Icelandic Geothermal Cluster, add value in the sector, and improve the utilization of Iceland‘s geothermal energy. Iceland has been leading in the energy transition from fossil fuels for more than 100 years. Utilizing local, renewable energy resources has been the key for fast growth and sustainable development.

Among members are active players in the development and utilization of geothermal energy outside of Iceland, as Icelandic companies are actively taking part in geothermal projects all around the globe.

ICELAND & GEOTHERMAL

Iceland is a country of 350,000, located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Mountainous and volcanic with heavy precipitation year-round, the country has an abundant supply of geothermal resources. Over 30% of all electricity generated comes from geothermal as well as district heating for more than 90% of the population including all of Reykjavik and the capital region. Geothermal power is a fact of life in Iceland driving economic growth and social development and Iceland went from being one the the poorest countries in Europe at the turn of the 20th century to one of its richest today, in large part thanks to Iceland’s pioneering efforts in utilizing geothermal power. Iceland is quite simply a showcase of the vast possibilites geothermal power has to offer.

VENUE

The World Geothermal Congress and Exhibition will be held at Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre, one of Reykjavik‘s most stunning and distinguished landsmarks. Sitting on the waterfront of the old harbour area in the heart of the city, Harpa features breathtaking views of The North Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding mountain ridges. The building is one of Reykjavik‘s most environmentally friendly and has won numberous awards and prizes such as the Mies van der Rohe award in 2013.
