Trip to BIR
This week
has been one of the best Green Living weeks since the start of the project. This
is mainly because of the exciting trip to the local waste managing station run by
the company BIR. This station is located in the southern parts of Bergen, in an
area called Fana. You can see this majestic place from a long distance because
of the huge pipes outside the station.
The visit
to this station started with a small lecture about how the station is being run
and a little part including some facts about how much people from Bergen produces
waste. We also got to know how this building creates enough energy to supply
many house holdings in Bergen with heating.
The way
they creates energy is as simple as burning waste and use the heating to warm up
water and then sending the water to house holdings and creating heating. What
makes this station as important as it is, is the fact that it is a very green
way to produce energy. All the environmental treats are taken care off and can
be shipped either to other places in Norway or abroad.
To sum up,
the trip to BIR was a very fun and educational way of studying.
