What Can We Learn from Energy Development in Iceland?
Presented by Gwen Holdmann, Director of the Alaska Center for Energy and Power
Iceland is a country with virtually no fossil energy
Presented by Gwen Holdmann, Director of the Alaska Center for Energy and Power
Iceland is a country with virtually no fossil energy
resources but has e ectively developed geothermal and
large scale hydropower to meet domestic needs and spur
economic development. With a small, isolated population,
immense natural resources and arctic environment,
Iceland shares many similarities with Alaska but has taken
a very di erent approach to enacting policies that attract
industry, address energy security, and encourage
economic growth. UAF researchers and students recently
traveled to Iceland with the goal of identifying energy
development lessons from our arctic neighbors.
Join the Alaska Center for Energy and Power to hear what
Alaska could consider for our energy future in areas such as
development of district heating systems, food security, and
large scale hydropower development.
