⚡️ Geothermal energy in Iceland is revolutionizing greenhouse farming with its unique geological setting.
🌍 Iceland's proximity to the Arctic Circle and cold air temperature contrasts with the warm natural pools created by geothermal heat.
🌋 The movement of tectonic plates beneath Iceland results in upwelling of mantle material, causing volcanic activity and geothermal heat.
🌋 Geothermal energy in Iceland is abundant, with temperatures rising by more than 200 degrees Celsius every kilometer of depth.
🔥 The Stirling engine demonstrates how thermal energy can be converted into another form of energy, such as electricity.
💡 Iceland has successfully scaled up geothermal energy to drive an electromagnetic generator and generate electricity.
🌋 Iceland uses geothermal energy to generate electricity on a national scale, with 25% of its electricity coming from geothermal sources.
💰 The cheap and clean energy from geothermal sources has transformed Iceland's economy, making it one of the richest countries in Europe.
⚡ In addition to electricity, Iceland's geothermal heat is also being used in industries such as aluminium production and Bitcoin mining.
💡 Geothermal energy in Iceland is harnessed by using naturally heated water to heat homes, streets, and pavements.
🌱 Geothermal energy is also used in agriculture, particularly in greenhouses, allowing Iceland to produce fresh produce year-round.
❄️ Despite being a cold and snowy country, Iceland's use of geothermal energy has revolutionized its ability to grow crops.
🌱 Geothermal energy is used in Iceland's greenhouses to produce tomatoes all year round.
☀️ Greenhouses in Iceland rely on green electricity and sunlight to grow crops.
💧 The use of hot water from geysers and boreholes ensures the plants receive high-quality water.
🌿 Iceland supports local farmers and encourages green buying to reduce pollution caused by transporting food.
🍅 Fresh tomatoes can be picked in the morning and reach the supermarket in the afternoon due to modern techniques and renewable energy usage in Iceland's greenhouses.
🌍 There is much to learn from Iceland's approach to sustainable agriculture and the importance of leaving a better earth for future generations.
🌍 Geothermal energy revolutionized Iceland's greenhouses by providing hot water and renewable energy.
🔥 The community in Iceland benefits from geothermal energy in their homes and in growing salad and vegetables.
🎥 BBC Earth presenter search 2018 has been launched, encouraging viewers to explore Iceland and watch more videos.
