During our last Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme 2014-2020 #SECUREproject study visits in Northern Ireland, we have visited Culmore landfill gas fuelled power station in Derry / Londonderry!
National energy saving week has started in Finland.
#SECUREnpa project, ENO (Environment Online) and Ilmastokorttelit project are touring five schools in North-Karelia. Second graders are participating in an Agent Adventure competition where they will count energy-saving tasks and compete against other second graders in Finland. Each class has named their team, such as Puppies, Aliens, etc.
In addition, the projects and ENO are demonstrating energy production with a modified stationary bicycle. When pedalling, phones will charge, music will play and lights will shine. The pupils in the schools can also participate in an online game called Energy heroes (at the moment in Finnish only), designed by ENO – Environment Online.
Pohjois-Karjalan Sähkö, the local utility is supporting the events.
