The Earth naturally produces heat beneath the surface that can be harnessed to produce clean and renewable electricity, in a process known as geothermal energy production. This is an infographic piece I designed to illustrate how the world’s total energy consumption relates to geothermal energy production. The concentric, circular forms relate to the idea of drilling down into the earth to reach geothermal heat. 

The key revelation from this infographic shows how Iceland is the only country whose carbon-based energy comes secondary to renewable energy. Further, it is the only country whose geothermal consumption surpasses usage of all other renewables combined. Therefore, Iceland exists as a working model for how a country can self-sufficiently run on renewable energy sources.
