Our renewable enery resources:
The temperature of the core of the earth about 7000 °C, 1000 °C higher than the temperature of the surface of the sun
The temperature of the core of the sun about 15.500.000 °C

Resource Parks
In order to honor the gift of nature and

the pray, the American Indians used every piece of the their pray, NO WASTE, SOCIETY WITHOUT WASTE.
The Resource Park Concept: The very core of the Resource Park Concept is: Integrated use of a variety of objective and subjective resources of different nature.
The Resource Park /integrated usage of all available resources “equally” accentuate ecological balance, economic prosperity and social progress.
The Resource Park is a loadstar on the way to sustainable development in society.
The Resource Park Concept enhances visionary thinking and foster the broad minded development of our employees leader mind.

- Sustainable Development
Multiple uses of a variety of subjective and

objective resources of different nature is the very core of the concept Resource Park.
The Resource Park bridges nations of different technical and social cultures and endeavour not to waste any resources.
The Resource Park is a Lodestar on the way to support sustainable development in society
The Svartsengi and Reykjanes Resource Parks are hopefully a preferable paradigm for harnessing all types of energy resources.

Park. Case study
HS hf established a Resource Park in Svartsengi in

1977

Project - IDDP
The mission of IDDP is to drill

4000 - 5000 m deep wells in order to harness supercritical fluid for enhanced power production (up to five to ten fold well output) and possible recovery of valuable minerals and metals from brine.
Explore the nature of the deep seated reservoirs: are they renewable and exploitable what is the temperature, pressure and chemistry of the fluid what is the nature of the mechanism of heat and chemical transfer, etc.
Explore the volume of the reservoir embedded in an active rift zone

Project - IDDP : A vital next step in harnessing the

abundant geothermal resource of the earth in a sustainable way.

Develop techniques for enhanced utilization of supercritical geothermal systems: enhanced power production – high temperature/high pressure heat source for direct use in the chemical industry - state of the art/enhanced reinjection/heat sweeping (reinjection into the reservoir) – extraction of valuable chemicals.
Supercritical geo fluid opens a new dimension to convert the geo heat to clean energy sources i.e. hydrogen, alcohols, ammonia etc. in a sustainable way

Harnessing supercritical geothermal fluid opens a new dimension to the industry.
HS Orka is one of the forerunners in deep drilling in the world.

use of objective and subjective resources has for HS Orka

hf turned out to be an effective way to take in order to support sustainable development in society.
Every place on earth having access to geothermal energy and cooling fluid i.e. ground water,surface water or sea water possesses the basic building blocks of a Resource Park.
Exploitation of geothermal, ground water and sea water resources and other natural resources can be and should be exploited in close cooperation with, environmental protection movements of the government and of the public.
Once committed to take the road of sustainable development one has to plan/project the harnessing of the geothermal reservoirs as well as ground water and sea water reservoirs far into the future (at least 50 years). Exploiting deep seated supercritical geothermal systems mainly located at plate boundaries by deep drilling is therefore inevitable.
Being able to harness supercritical geothermal fluid definitely adds a new dimension to the geothermal industry.
