Minister for Rural Development Sándor Fazekas inaugurated Héjja Brothers Ltd's new biogas power plant in Csongrád.

In his speech, the Minister emphasised that the exemplary development project generates environmentally friend energy cheaply, which is not just good for the environment, but is also important with relation to the profitability of the pork sector.

Mr. Fazekas pointed out that renewable energy is also used in animal husbandry in Germany, which supports this ailing sector, and so agriculture is also able to contribute to energy production. For Hungary to perform profitable and successful production in this sector and reduce the quantity of imported products, we must also incorporate these methods and solutions, he added.

Héjja Brothers Ltd's modern, environmentally friendly plant adapts to these new conditions, with which it provides an example that should be followed.
