Charcoal has been used for the production of iron since Roman times and in modern times charcoal is used as a carbon source in the ferro-alloys industry.  Over time significant natural forest destruction and deforestation has taken place as rogue producers have decimated forest ecosystems to supply industrial demand.  However, sustainable forestry with regular replanting provides a clean and efficient industrial charcoal supply chain with a strong competitive advantage…and not only for companies focused on sustainability.

With the goal of sourcing highest quality feedstock, we use our technology and decades of experience in search of optimal operational process and controls to produce high-quality bio-carbon reductants while simultaneously improving the sustainability of our business and our customer’s supply chain.

GCS bio-chars are among the highest quality. Under tightly controlled operating conditions, GCS produces bio-chars that are:

• Carbon-rich: Up to 95% carbon
• Very low in ash: As low as 1%
• High surface area: As high as 625 m2/g
