INE has developed from being only an enabling company that managed the first demonstration project ECTOS towards a professional research, development and consultancy company with steady growing knowledge assets within research design, educational functions as well as expertise within using hydrogen systems,environmental aspects, setting up energy systems and integration into society.

The company does not manufacture or sell hydrogen products but understands the importance of all aspects of the implentation phase and how hydrogen systems function within the overall outline. During the last 10 year period representatives from the company have given presentations in all corners of the world and groups that visit Iceland have followed  seminars hosted by INE and taken courses on Masters level of University education.

Since 1999 eight master's and diploma students in energy and marine engineering, environmental sciences, geography and policy studies from equal number of universities have worked on their projects within Icelandic New Energy. Many more have enjoyed assistance at the University of Iceland within the auspices of the Science faculties. INE is grateful to all these fine scholars and their supporting institutes as well as for the assistance from organisations and projects that have generously provided valuable information into the ECTOS and student projects. The company’s dedication towards creating a hydrogen society has been encouraged during the activities of the last 8 years and in the near future the citizens of Iceland along with INE´s staff hope to celebrate a cleaner and more sustainable future for Iceland.
