Description
Coconut shell charcoal is produced by carbonizing fully dried and clean coconut shells in a controlled, low-oxygen environment. It is a natural, smokeless fuel and a raw material for the manufacture of activated carbon.
This charcoal is hard, dense, and highly porous, with a high fixed carbon content and low volatile matter. It produces less smoke and ash than wood charcoal, making it an ideal energy source for domestic cooking, blacksmithing, goldsmithing, and industrial heat applications.
Coconut shell charcoal is also used extensively as a soil conditioner, in biochar production, and as a carbon additive in foundries. Its consistent quality and renewable origin make it a preferred eco-friendly alternative in global markets.
