Why to produce vegetal coal?
In the developing countries area there is a great fuel insufficiency.
Whereas in the developed nations, the vegetal coal comes used like a product for leisure, in the developing countries it is mainly a domestic fuel and overall an industrial fuel in metallurgical and chemical applications. One of the reasons to convert wood into charcoal is to reduce its weight with respect to its energy content and to increase its economic transportation distance. Charcoal has a heating value twice as much as fuelwood on an equal weight basis. For these countries, with a great forest mass, to export vegetal coal it can be a positive activity.
To valorize the importance of the ecosystems by means of a balanced development it's one of the obligations that the contemporary humanity has inherited. Following the modern methods of production, it would be possible to preserve the atmosphere and the forest masses, improving at the same time the wood charcoal's quantities produced
Making charcoal, not exceeding the production possibilities of tons per hectare per year, it won't be harmful for the forest resources.
