Abstract: | The paper describes the background, motivations and action plan for an extensive experiment with hydrogen (H) as an energy
carrier in Iceland. The energy consumption of Iceland is described as well as the role of fossil fuel imports in the otherwise
renewable energy scenario. The paper goes on describing the academic/political reasons for the drive towards the H economy
experiment and the international consortium created to herald the work. Finally the paper describes the ongoing projects in
Iceland and the anticipated development of H research and development in the country. |
