Reykholt is a tiny village in west Iceland, which was once home to one of the world’s greatest medieval writers, Snorre Sturluson. One of the famous landmarks in Reykholt is Snorre Sturluson’s old outdoor hot bath using geothermal brine.

In modern times geothermal energy is used for district heating of the hotel, farms, and green houses. The local priest realized the potential to not only utilize the resource for heating, but also produce electricity seeing as the existing well's hot water was far warmer than required by the district heating system. Previously, the excessive heat was simply wasted as steam. Varmaorka in collaboration with Climeon took on the task to integrate Climeon technology with the existing district heating system to make use of all available heat.
