Geothermal Power: Untapped Energy Beneath Our Feet | Islands of the Future: Iceland | FD Engineering

Mechanical Batteries - The Future of Energy Storage:

The world is in an energy crisis that’s getting worse all the time. Oil and gas cost more and more. Coal is fuelling global climate change. In Europe especially, people are searching for ways of freeing themselves from the fetters 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 and find their own way.

It’s not only small islands, though, that have the chance of solving the crucial issue of energy for the future, as is shown by the example of 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 convert volcanically heated water into electricity.
