Biobriquettes for the energy poor Biobrikett az energiaszegénységben élőknek

The Biomass briquettes programme was established in a disadvantaged region of Hungary where the unemployment rate is higher than the national average and many people live below the poverty line. The target area is Told, a Roma village, the residents of which, as a socially marginalised group in Hungary, have even less access to combustible materials for heating. The project was developed within the framework of the Real Pearl Foundation and Art School with the aim of hand-making biomass briquette, a cheap, environmentally friendly fuel. The project contributes to creating new jobs and strengthening the community, reducing the heating costs of families involved, and saving local forests from being illegally cut down.
