A recent publication of the scientific international journal Renewable Energy reflects the results of a major study on geochemistry of the diffuse emission of gases in the surface environment of the geothermal field of Reykjanes (Iceland). This publication demonstrates the potential application of the emission of these gases to geothermal exploration, as well as for the monitoring of geothermal systems in production. This has been possible as a result of the scientific collaboration work between the Iceland Geosurvey (ISOR), INVOLCAN and ITER. One of the conclusions of this study evidences that the analysis and evaluation of the spatial distribution of…
“Tenerife educa”, the catalogue of educational resources developed by the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife was presented on February 11th. This catalogue collects more than 100 additional support activities promoted by the different areas and subsidiaries of the insular Corporation. ITER, which has actively participated in the design and development of this catalogue along with other Areas and agencies, has included 6 resources offered to the educational community. These resources are: the project ¿Es posible una isla 100% renovable? The enhibition: La Energía nos mueve, the experiment La Fibra óptica, the game Isla 100% , the Technological demonstration Unit of…
The laboratory has recently acquired a new mass spectrometer of stable isotopes of noble gases (NGMS) co-financed by the National Plan of R&D 2013-2016. The Institute of Technology and of Renewable Energies (ITER), dependent of the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, was the first R&D Centre in the Canary Islands in having a mass spectrometer magnetic sector for the determination of stable isotopes ratios, among its instrumental technical resources. In 2004 the ITER acquired its first mass spectrometer of isotopic ratios (in English IRMS, Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry) thanks to the alert (MAC/2.3/C56) project “reducing earthquake-volcanic risk in the Azores and…
With this event starts the program of activities that will be developed over the coming months on the occasion of ITER´s 25th anniversary. The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies celebrates 25 years as an international centre of reference for research into renewable energies, engineering, telecommunications and the environment, as well as in other facets of interest for the improvement of the socio-economic development of the archipelago. The anniversary took on September 16th and was chaired by the President of the Council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Carlos Alonso; the President of ITER, Ricardo Melchior; the director of the Canary…
The Centre of Excellence in Development & Innovation (CEDeI) is launched, with plans to develop a training programme aimed at promoting employment in the technology sector. It aims to train 160 people and directly contract 100.
ITER connects Tenerife’s undersea fibre-optic cable with the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE) undersea cable system, making Tenerife a strategic node of international connectivity, and turning ITER’s D-ALiX into a world-class centre of reference in data processing.
