WASTE TO VALUE

Value Creation in Icelandic Geothermal Processes.

In essence, this project identifies methods for the geothermal sector for producing marketable by-products, such as silica and other minerals, for resale, which can also decrease scaling problems. This will allow geothermal power plants to work more efficiently and gain profit from something that has, up until now, been considered problematic waste. Gerosion is the project leader and the collaborators are GEORG and the Icelandic energy companies Landsvirkjun, HS Orka, and Orka Náttúrunnar. The project has additionally be funded by the Energy Research Fund of Landsvirkjun and GEORG.
