  1. WORKSHOP ON GEOTHERMAL ENERGY:ICELANDIC - BRITISH COOPERATIONThe Icelandic Energy System Gudni A Jóhannesson Director General Orkustofnun - The Icelandic National Energy Authority

  2. Regulator for the national grid Advises the government on energy resources Non geothermal heating subsidy scheme Energy efficiency and transition to renewable sources International cooperation on energy issues Future scenarios energy needs and energy conversion Directs research on energy resources Licenses for research and exploitation of energy, mineral resources and hydrocarbons UNU Geothermal training program Mining licenses for metals and minerals Data on energy and other earth resources

  3. It is all about geology Geothermal map of Iceland. ( Basemap: Geological map of Iceland by Haukur Jóhannesson and Kristján Sæmundsson 1999. Iceland. 1:1.000.000.  Icelandic Institute of Natural History

  4. Geothermal energy flow 333*106 TWh

  5. Government interventions over time to promote geothermal heating • Basic research – geology – geophysics – utilisation • Central storage of research data • Legal and regulatory framework – administration • Risk mitigation for geothermal drilling – The Energy Fund • Financial support for district heating replacing subsidized heating • Licensing surveys and power plants

  6. Geothermal District Heating Storage Tanks

  7. ICELANDSpace Heating by Source 1970-2006 Longest distance from source to customer 63 km

  8. Svartsengi Geothermal Plant

  9. Present Electricity Use General use 3050 GWh 18.5% Large industries 12430 GWh 75.5% System loss 1000 GWh 6.0% Fossile fuels 120 MWe 3 GWh Hydropower 1880 MWe 12400 GWh Potential 30000 GWh* Geothermal 575 MWe 4000 GWh Potential 20000 GWh* *subject to the result of the Framework program on feasibility and ranking of different power plant options

  10. Energy market Scotland 1200 km Europe 1800 km NORDNED 600 km

  11. Cost Per kWh ? Freshwater Saltwater

  12. Geothermal Beach

  13. A Gothermal waste water pool

  14. MASTERPLAN FOR ICELAND POWERPLANT OPTIONS HYDROPOWER GEOTH. POWER

  15. The Geothermal Training Programme (GTP) of The United Nations University (UNU)

  16. World wide potential 160 GW Investment 600 Bn USD Installed capacity for geothermal electricity production in 2007 in different countries (Bertani, 2007)

  17. Reduce worldwide GHG emission by sustainable energy production/utilization from geothermal sources  • Make Iceland a case study for near energy independent and carbon neutral society • Create a platform for entrepreneurship and export of geothermal energy experticeand education

  18. International cooperation IEA IGA IPGT ERANET EDIN .......
