"Haritha Angara"- A Green Charcoaling initiative by Haycarb PLC
Many years ago Haycarb PLC pioneered the Green Charcoaling in Asia, by introducing the patented pollution free charcoaling process combined with power generation through Recogen. In 2014, taking this initiation to greater heights, we launched “Haritha Angara”, a project to convert traditional pit charcoaling into eco-friendly closed-pit charcoaling. Open pit charcoaling is prohibited by state institutions responsible for environment protection because it releases noxious gases such as CO, CH4, C2H6 and NOx. The “Haritha Angara” project involves building units which combusts such harmful gases which get released during the traditional charcoaling process.
We kicked off the project Initially by providing technical support only but later we extended it by offering interest free, long term loans to build new environmental friendly pits with combustion chambers and improve existing pits, which has been wholeheartedly accepted by our suppliers. Since then, “Haritha Angara” has grown leaps and bounds into a project which even has the acknowledgment and the backing of Coconut Development Authority (CDA) as well. The Financial Assistance given with Zero interest in this regard is Rs. 26 million. This initiation of Haycarb has had a meritorious impact on 500 families directly and 3,000 people indirectly. Haritha Angara has not only aided the communities with financial support but also plays a vital role in protecting the environment as a green initiative. Haycarb continues to pay a premium price for charcoal made using this method to ensure high quality and to promote the eco friendliness of the project. Haritha Angara also provides a common ground for both the company and the customers by helping keep a constant supply of high quality raw material, which ultimately helps Haycarb to supply high quality end products to the customers.
At present there are 200 pits in operation throughout the island and a further 10 units are planned to be installed around the country. Through this initiative, Haycarb has been able to ensure supply security and sustainability with the expected charcoal intake from the pits being a significant portion of the company’s raw material requirement.
We, at Haycarb strongly believe that through “Haritha Angara”, Haycarb can help protect the environment whilst uplifting the local supply of Charcoal thus providing additional income opportunities to the communities in rural areas, thereby encouraging empowerment and entrepreneurship in remote areas of our country.
