While the country is one of the world’s largest producers of wind and solar renewable energy, it faces the issue of renewable energy being weather-dependent and prone to fluctuation. Denmark has been a global leader in sustainability, and has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions by 70% by 2030.

The lights are even on some recycling bins in Reykjavík, the capital: “Keep Iceland Clean.” In the past decade or so, an aurora borealis industrial complex has boomed in Iceland. But the enhanced solar activity doesn’t necessarily mean the northern lights will be brighter or more frequent, scientists wearily explain.

CRI, founded in 2006 in Reykjavik, Iceland, is developing technology to produce renewable methanol from clean energy and recycled CO 2 emissions. Vulcanol is CRI’s brand name for renewable methanol, produced from CO 2 and hydrogen from renewable sources of electricity (hydro, geothermal, wind and solar).

It comes from natural sources that continuously regenerate, such as sunlight, wind, water (in motion), and geothermal. Iceland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, and Austria were the global leaders in hydroelectric as of 2019. Solar and wind are the easiest to locate, scale, and convert to energy.
