Mohamad Sabsabi

Cultures of Resistance Awardee — Lebanon

With a passion for inventions, Mohamad Sabsabi built his own vertical axis wind turbine that helps supply his family and six other homes with the energy they need. He is currently working on a type of “electronic charcoal” that will help reduce deforestation by providing energy without requiring the cutting of trees. In the future, Sabsabi hopes to build his own wind turbine factory and to develop more technologies to help people overcome energy supply problems in sustainable ways.

Sabsabi received a Cultures of Resistance Award (CoR Award) in 2022 and will be using the award for his “electronic charcoal” project.
