Iceland Energy Profile
Iceland has virtually no minerals and few other natural resources except abundant geothermal water and hydroelectric power. Cheap hydroelectricity has attracted such manufacturing as aluminum refining and ferroalloy production, using imported materials. Except for fish processing and the making of fertilizer, other manufacturing is small-scale and geared mainly to conference local needs.
