1. The dominant fossil fuel, oil, is 15% of the total energy use in Iceland. Other fossil fuels are negligible. 2. Transport, industry and „other“. 3. Since renewable energy sources (geothermal energy and hydro) are 83% of the country‘s energy consumption, the task is to bring oil use down. That could be done with a policy phasing out cars that run on oil and gasoline for electric cars and also switching over to more renewable energy for the shipping fleet, which consumes even more oil than the cars in Iceland.
