PDO presents the EcOman Centre as a Gift to the Nation on the occasion of the 40th National Day of Oman. PDO’s brand new EcOman Centre at Mina al Fahal is an engaging and eye-opening journey through the evolution and future of energy. It is a thoughtful investment to help visitors, young and old alike, learn the possibilities of harnessing sustainable energy resources in their march towards an ever brighter future under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said.
The centre consists of three themes: the ‘Power Tower’, ‘Better World’, and connecting these two, the ‘Energy Journey’.
|
The Power Tower:
You will start your tour from the Power Tour
which will educate you on the sources and
impact of energy through technical illustrations,
animations and interactive demonstration models.
|
 |
 |
The Energy Journey:
You then discover how humans developed technologies to harness nature's energy. Your trip will start at the beginning of time with the discovery of fire to present day burning of fossil fuels and the production of electricity. How does this all end? In the end it we write the rest of the story.
|
|
Better world:
You continue your journey through to ‘Better World’ where you will learn how you can make a positive impact to the world. You will have the chance to see models of eco-friendly houses which will demonstrate how ‘Eco-friendly’ resources, recycling programmes and energy storage are put into practice.
