Mannvit Engineering is dedicated to the development of renewable energy, energy efficiency and other efforts to reduce the effects of climate change. Founded in 1963, Mannvit has over 40 years of experience in geothermal energy, hydroelectric power, geothermal district heating and numerous other projects in-line with the company's commitment to slowing and reversing climate change.
Mannvit's values and experience are closely tied to Iceland as a nation, which is one of the least polluted countries in the world. Though one could argue that supplying energy to a population of approximately 300,000 is a lot easier than 300,000,000 like in the United States. And, Iceland did develop these resources out of necessity, because it has few other natural resources. That fact belies the country's current and ever-growing commitment to environmental quality and sustainability. So, however they got to this place may be a moot point; the fact is, they are currently one of the leading countries in the utilization of renewable energy and have much to teach the rest of the world. Iceland is a country that has leapfrogged out of relative obscurity to international prominence in renewable energy technology and is now ready to export this know-how to the global community.
Currently, renewable energy sources provide 72% of the country's electricity needs and almost 100% of its heating needs via geothermal district heating. Iceland derives this energy from two main renewable sources, geothermal and hydroelectric. And, Mannvit has played a lead role in almost all of this development since the early 1970s.
Mannvit offers a broad range of services in renewable and alternative energy consulting and engineering and other climate change mitigating services from the design and construction of environmentally-friendly biogas and biofuel plants to the improvement of energy transmission, soil composting, green data centers, CO2 sequestration and reduction, carbon recycling, combined heat and power and more. The company offers a multidisciplinary approach and decades of experience to ensure the success of every project we run with our customers.
