Traditional Methods

Haycarb Green Charcoaling Process

• Charcoaling in Pits and barrels releases a wide range of Organic and Acid gases, causing contamination of the ground, water and air.

• Respiratory and other health problems for people living around charcoaling centres, due to the release of large quantities of pollutive gasses.

• Release thousands of tons of methane gas that has a Green House Gas effect, 1560 times that of carbon dioxide.

• The working conditions of people involved in this industry is shockingly poor, with continuous safety hazards and health problems

• Abates the release of methane gas by combusting and converting it into electrical energy, through a steam turbine generator.

• The generation of renewable power substitutes the equivalent usage of fossil fuel for power generation in the country.

• This process will abate the release to the atmosphere of 890 tons per annum of Methane gas (otherwise released during traditional charcoaling) equivalent to 18,700 tons of carbon dioxide per annum.

• While the substitution of fossil fuel based power generation by this renewable process prevents a further 32,000 tons per annum of carbon dioxide that would not have been carbon-neutral, from being released into the atmosphere.

• Improved working conditions and direct and indirect employment for local communities.
