Actions taken as part of the HungAIRy LIFE integrated project

The organisation is involved in three main actions:

Under the Community Cycling System program, a mini urban/community cycling system will be established with 5 stations, with 10-10 bikes per station. The aim of the program is to provide an alternative transport option for residents and for people working in the town. The program is intended to change people’s travel behaviour by offering environmentally-friendly alternative to use car or public transport. The action aims to reduce emissions of air pollutants produced by the transport sector.
Significant number of agricultural enterprises operate in Békéscsaba as the city is surrounded by the high-quality lands. The aim of the program to reduce air pollution produced by agriculture and to develop strategy on methods. In the course of the training aimed at shaping environmentally-friendly approach, methods related to growing cereal crops and livestock farming may be acquired. As a result of the knowledge gained on the training regarding novel, low-emission technologies the emissions produced by agriculture is expected to be reduced.
The action is also aimed at developing a method for estimating the consumption of firewood. Wood heating is one of the biggest emitters of domestic pollutants. In the course of the program, we will map and collect information aboutwoody biomass distributors, participants of the supply chain and source of fuel. Based on the collected data, we will determine the intervention points in order to optimize fuel supply.
