Icelandic geothermal energy could be used to produce environmentally friendly synthetic fuels, according to experts conducting trials in Husavik. The U.S.-based company Syntholene Energy has expressed interest in investing in such projects in Iceland. According to Dan Sutton, Syntholene's operations manager, the company aims to create high-energy, carbon-free, and inexpensive synthetic fuel using only green energy and CO2 from Iceland's abundant geothermal resources. This technology could revolutionize the global energy market and potentially allow more fuel to be exported from Iceland than currently produced from Norwegian gas. A trial facility was built in Husavik within two months after nearly two years of preparation. The process involves producing hydrogen, which is then mixed with recycled CO2 and traditional fossil fuels. The goal is to make production both cheaper and more environmentally sustainable compared to other methods. The U.S. experts have noted that there is sufficient energy available at the Hellisheiði geothermal plant, while the PCC project is still under development. Whether a large-scale production facility will be built near Skjalftandi or elsewhere in the未来
