Exploiting geothermal energy for innovation
The purpose of the article is to research how specific geothermal cluster can affect the development of innovation in firms. A multiple case study approach is used with three cases; Orf, Carbon Recycling International and Stolt Sea Farm Iceland. Furthermore, the research seeks to answer; i. what kin...
