There are currently around 130 geothermal power stations operating in Europe, a 5% increase compared to 2019. That number could double in the next five to eight years.
The challenge is how to ensure they are safer, more reliable, more cost‐efficient ‐ and, crucially, that they are as environmentally friendly as possible.
To this end, European scientists have been designing and developing new technologies that are currently being tested in Iceland.
Nesjavellir Geothermal computer science vs computer engineering salary is the second biggest such facility in Iceland. It produces around 120 Megawatts of electrical power.
Drilling operations are ongoing, always looking for new resources of heat deep underground.
Temperatures can reach 460°C below the surface and the pressure levels are extremely high; it's a tough, demanding environment for drilling.
Vilhjálmur Gudmundsson, the Marketing and Sales Director with the company Iceland Drilling, says the process of extracting the energy puts enormous pressure on
