 Missing in Action: Iceland's Hydrogen Economy | Worldwatch Institute
In 1998, the tiny country of Iceland (population 300,000) stunned the world by announcing its intention to be the vanguard of the scientific and engineering quest to achieve a hydrogen energy economy—that is, to eliminate its dependence on fossil fuels in favor of the limitless possibilities of clean hydrogen.
An article in the November/December 2000 issue of World Watch described Iceland’s activity and aspirations: the Icelandic Hydrogen and Fuel Cell company had been formed; a prototype ship was expected to be launched by 2006; the energy transformation could be completed by 2030 or 2040.
A leading proponent was Bragi Árnason, a chemist nicknamed “Professor Hydrogen,” who had argued as early as 1993 that Iceland was an ideal laboratory for showing the way toward the energy economy of the future.
