Spring Half Term - Monday 27th - Friday 31st May
Energy from Waste
INEOS are about to launch their brand new Energy from Waste Combined Heat and Power facility in Runcorn this summer. Household waste is being brought from Greater Manchester to be burnt to generate Electricity. This interactive family workshop will lead families through the world of recycling and provide an unbiased explanation about what will be going on at Runcorn, what Energy from Waste really is and what the effects of an Energy from Waste plant on the Halton doorstep will really be. We’ve got hands on activities throughout and fun chemistry experiments to accompany us on our journey from waste to energy. We’ll even throw in some bangs and flashes along the way too!
