Geothermal Power: Untapped Energy Beneath Our Feet – Islands of the Future (Iceland)
Geothermal energy in Iceland demonstrates how clean, renewable power can be harnessed directly from the Earth, providing a proven model for zero-emission electricity and heating worldwide.
The world is experiencing an energy crisis that is worsening over time. The cost of oil and gas is increasing. Coal is fuelling global climate change. In Europe, especially, people are seeking ways to liberate themselves from the constraints of fossil fuels. And answers to this challenge are being found in the sea, off the coast of the continent – on the islands of Europe. Life here, far from the mainland and major cities, has always meant looking for means of survival. Through their history and mentality, islanders are well equipped for mastering the transition to a new energy future. They have always had to cope with restricted space and limited resources, yet they have managed to find their way.
It’s not only small islands, though, that have the opportunity to address the crucial issue of energy for the future, as exemplified by Iceland. With its wealth of volcanoes and glaciers, the island has all the favourable preconditions you could ask for. There are now five large-scale geothermal power stations on the island, which harness water heated by volcanoes to generate electricity.
The Earth Holds the Power — Will We Tap It Responsibly?
Geothermal energy offers a stable, renewable, and carbon-free energy source—and Iceland proves what’s possible. The future of clean energy lies beneath our feet, ready to be scaled globally.
