CharcoTec products

CharcoTec presents a technological advancement in the field of charcoal production that improves efficiencies over traditional methods without imposing new disadvantages on local economies. The innovative kiln technology allows for the use of various biomass materials beyond wood, thus reducing deforestation. Its design includes two separate reactor vessels for enhanced energy reuse, leading to optimal process efficiencies while maintaining simplicity in operation. The technology offers commercial viability, with potential financial returns within one year of operation, making it accessible for global charcoal entrepreneurs. Initial prototypes were tested in Bosnia and the Netherlands, revealing high-quality, restaurant-grade charcoal production. The process employs a system that captures and reuses off-gases for energy, minimizing emissions and optimizing fuel costs. A demonstration plant operates in Groningen, Netherlands, using a dual-container system to continuously dry and carbonize biomass, thus optimizing charcoal quality and introducing a near-continuous production capacity suitable for diverse biomass sources.
