UPNA researchers generate electricity in Antarctica using geothermal heat

UPNA researchers generate electricity in Antarctica using geothermal heat

Researchers from the Public University of Navarra (UPNA), belonging to the Smart Cities Institute (ISC), have managed to generate electricity continuously in Antarctica using geothermal heat. The Thermal and Fluids Engineering team developed this innovative technology that makes it possible to harness the natural heat of the Earth’s interior to produce electricity. The project, known as ‘Autonomous Thermoelectric Generators for Volcanic Monitoring’ (VIVOTEG), was carried...
