Power from glaciers: the hydropower potential of Greenland's glacial waters

Author

  • Partl, R.

Abstract

In the southern parts of Greenland, large quantities of water melting every summer from the ice shield 1000 m above sea level and more, within a short distance from the coast, offer favorable conditions for a large-scale hydropower development. General ideas on such a development have been published by several authors. This report tries to go a step further by providing an assessment of available resources, an analysis of technical problems for the utilization of this resource and its integration into a global energy system, and a preliminary estimate of construction needs and costs.
