In this nice video, Iceland GeoSurvey (ISOR) shares its experience in setting up a small geothermal district heating system in a small village in the Himalayas, in Northern India.
Space heating is among the most important direct uses of geothermal energy worldwide. This kind of application has a long history in Iceland where about 90% of all houses are heated by geothermal energy.
In this video, Árni Ragnarsson from Iceland GeoSurvey (ISOR) discusses how a small heating system was installed in the village, Chumathang, in northern India. The project is rather small only providing heating for two small houses, but with a large impact for its inhabitants.
This project was development aid between Norway and India to exploit geothermal energy in northern India. They looked to ÍSOR in Iceland for assistance with the project.
