Renewable Resource.
Coconut shells are a byproduct of coconut farming, so utilising them for charcoal production makes efficient use of a renewable resource that would otherwise go to waste.
High Heating Value.
Coconut charcoal has a high calorific value, meaning it burns hotter and longer than some other types of charcoal. This makes it efficient for cooking and heating purposes.
Low Smoke and Odor:
Coconut charcoal produces less smoke and has a milder aroma compared to charcoal made from other sources like wood. This can be beneficial for both health reasons and for creating a more pleasant cooking environment.
Sustainable Source:
Coconut husk charcoal is made from a renewable resource – discarded coconut shells. Utilising coconut husks for charcoal production helps reduce waste and provides an alternative income source for coconut farmers.
Sustainability:
Coconut trees are generally grown in tropical regions, and coconut farming supports livelihoods for many people in these areas. Using coconut husks for charcoal production can contribute to sustainable economic development in these regions.
Environmental Benefits:
Utilising coconut shells for charcoal reduces waste and minimises the need for cutting down trees for charcoal production, this helps preserve forests and ecosystems. Using coconuts for charcoal production offers a range of environmental, economic, and practical benefits.
