October 14 , 2026 15 hrs 0 min 50 0
  • Iceland is exploring cooperation with India in geothermal energy and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), including its Carbfix technology.
  • India has an estimated geothermal energy potential of 10.6 gigawatts (GW) and promotes its development through the National Policy on Geothermal Energy.
  • Iceland generates around 70% of its electricity from hydropower and 30% from geothermal energy and offers India technical and regulatory expertise.
  • Iceland’s Carbfix technology converts captured carbon dioxide (CO₂) into stone through permanent mineralisation, helping store carbon underground.
  • Carbfix could help reduce carbon emissions from India’s steel and cement industries; Iceland is seeking collaboration with India to expand the technology.
