Charcoal production

Charcoal production involves heating wood or other organic materials in a low-oxygen environment, a process called pyrolysis. This removes water, volatile compounds, and gases, leaving behind a concentrated carbon-rich material known as charcoal. The process typically takes place in specialized kilns or pits, where controlling temperature and airflow is essential. Charcoal is used for cooking, heating, and industrial purposes due to its high energy content and clean-burning qualities. Proper production methods aim to maximize yield while minimizing environmental impact, such as deforestation and air pollution.
