The CharcoTec technology aims at the removal of the disadvantages of traditional charcoaling without introducing “new” disadvantages for the local economies on terms of less employment, too high capital need and dependency on imported materials. At the same time however it does bring the advantages of the modern technology in terms of higher efficiencies in terms of yield of the input material, potential use of other than wood materials as a source and thus less deforestation. It also will prevent environmental and health damage by capturing the nasty vapours, combusting them and so reusing the otherwise lost energy content in it, thus reducing fuel cost of the car coal process.
