Dissemination of Geothermal Knowledge and Information, an Example from Iceland

Abstract

Dissemination of knowledge and information can be easily done by using the Internet. Most organisations, associations and projects offer information on Web pages, which have become their main information vehicle, both on knowledge and technology. There are however other ways to distribute knowledge.
This poster presents the ways which are common for dissemination of knowledge and information on geothermal knowledge. An example will be taken from Iceland where energy utilization is a great success, where almost 90% of houses are geothermally heated and about 17% of the electricity and half of the primary energy consumption is from geothermal. An example of research organisations and power companies will be given.
