In 1905 a power plant was set up in Hafnarfjörður, a town which is a suburb of Reykjavík. Reykjavík wanted to copy their success, so they appointed Thor Jenssen to run and build a gas station, Gasstöð Reykjavíkur. Jenssen could not get a loan to finance the project, so a deal was made with Carl Francke to build and run the station, with options for the city to buy him out. Construction starte

Long-duration storage startups Malta and Energy

Two startups seeking to disrupt the energy sector with novel long-duration energy storage technologies have formed partnerships with established industry players. Malta Inc, a developer of a ''pumped-heat energy storage'' (PHES) technology which the company claims can provide large-scale energy storage for up to 200 hours, has partnered with

Transitioning towards renewable energy and sustainable storage

The need for transitioning towards renwable energy and sustainable storage solutions is particularly challenging for remote communities in the Arctic, located far away from the electricity grid.

How Iceland became a global leader in green energy

The remainder of Iceland''s energy supply comes from geothermal sources. This is where steam power is generated as hot water and cold seawater meet at extreme temperatures nearly 2,000 metres below the Earth''s surface. Harnessing geothermal energy has been paramount for the nation, as only 1 percent of its land is suitable for agriculture.
