Experience the power of geothermal energy

The Geothermal Exhibition at Hellisheiði Power Plant invites visitors to discover how renewable energy is created. Here you can see how Iceland’s largest geothermal power station produces electricity and hot water for the capital area. The exhibition is a vivid example of sustainable energy utilisation in action.

Visible geothermal energy – from power to innovation

Visitors can explore the turbine hall and look out over the working area. Interactive displays explain how geothermal energy is harnessed in Iceland. Guests learn about the history of geothermal utilisation and the development of sustainable energy through the years.

Carbfix and innovation in the Geothermal Park

One of the highlights of the exhibition is Carbfix. Here, carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured from the power plant is transformed into stone deep underground. Visitors also gain insight into other innovation projects in the area and the companies operating within ON’s Geothermal Park. These show how resource streams from Hellisheiði Power Plant are used in creative and sustainable ways.
