SUCCESSFUL EVENT
The recent Iceland Geothermal Conference, which
took place between 5th and 8th March 2013 in
Reykjavík, has helped carry a positive message for
the possibilities within the green energy industry.
Until now, our work has been at the country and
regional levels. These efforts are
important, and should continue. But a global push
is what is needed now. Only a global effort will put
geothermal energy in its rightful place – as a primary
energy source for many developing countries. Only
a global effort will pool resources to spread the risk
effectively. It will let us learn from each other, from
our failures and successes, and apply that learning.

Two and a half day interna onal conference on
geothermal energy with field trips. Held for the first me
ever the Iceland Geothermal conference was a tremendous
success. Over 600 par cipants from 54 countries came
together in Iceland to share knowledge and build new
rela onships.
Iceland´s loca on between central Europe and North
America, local knowledge in the field as well as the close
proximity to numerous geothermal areas all contributed to
the large number of par cipants.
