The program decided upon by the Parliament of Island envisages gradual increase of the usage of electric motors, fed by hydrogen from electric-piles (fuel batteries), in their vehicles. The hydrogen-fed electric battery exhausts only a water-vapour.
Electric energy necessary to produce hydrogen by electrolysis shall provide the network of dedicated hydroelectric power stations constructed at numerous, although not big, Island's rivers, and geothermal sources, which are plentiful in this rocky and abundant in volcanoes country. Island intends even exporting, in the future, their surplus hydrogen to countries in Europe.
Bragi Amasson, professor of chemistry from the university of Reykjavik evaluates, the procedure of swapping over to the clean, ecologically friendly power systems will take some 30-40 years time. At present on the roads of Island are moving some 180 thousand vehicles. This country owns also the fishing flotilla consisting of over 2500 trawlers.
