The data were analyzed and sorted using the AqQa software. In addition, each well's GPS point was transferred to ArcGIS software, along with information on its chemical properties, and the points were represented on a geological map of Iceland. The analysis showed that Icelandic groundwater can be classified into seven main categories, depending on chemical composition and location. The study also confirmed that the groundwater in the south of Iceland is generally heavy water whereas the groundwater in the northern and eastern parts is lighter.

The nation has joined the global community to cut emissions, reduce its carbon footprint and set forth means by which to seize the opportunity the impending energy transition brings. An essential factor in reducing fossil fuel consumption, and thus also cutting related emissions, is the firm advancement of clean mobility and implementation of accompanying infrastructure. This paper covers main governmental actions, including incentives and infrastructure support for alternative fuels and describes key initiatives which have impacted the increased uptake of alternative fuels for land and marine transport in Iceland.
