Fossil-fuel Dashboard is Live!
The Iceland Fossil Fuel Dashboard makes it possible to gain insights into the sales and consumption of fossil fuel in Iceland in the years 2010-2020. It allows the user to drill down into the sales by region or municipality, type of fuel, and quantity, both in totals and per capita. It enables the user to save the graphs generated by the dashboard.
This is the first time Icelandic oil sales data has been made available publicly and in such accessible way.
